QUEEN OF THE FRENCH.—A Bouquet de Gibier monstre
2allast oSPllee. Dr
ecember,
rege-
nerator, M. Boyer, of the Reform Club, and presented to
heir Majesties on the 24th in the morning, at the palace
of the Tuileries. Their Majesties were delighted with
the novelty and elegance of the composition, and, after a
long examination, the King ordered it to be carried to
the apartments of her Majesty the Queen of the Belgians,
who was exceedingly pleased with it, and afterwards the
whole of the Royal Family were summoned to see the
bouquet. To give an idea of the composition of this
splendid innovation, the following description, perhaps,
will be interesting to the public. The height of it was
about 10 feet, and wide in proportion ; the frame was
richly covered with Christmas holly, laurels, missletoe,
and evergreen, with a great variety of winter flowers.
There were 22 head of game, consisting of larks, snipes,
woodcocks, teal, French and English partridges, grouse,
widgeons, wild ducks, blackcocks, pheasants, a leveret, a
hare, and golden plovers. The interstices were lightly
filled with wheat and oats, the whole ornamented with
tri-coloured ribbons. And to give a still more pleasing
effect, fancy birds of beautiful plumage (so abundant in
England) were spread in different parts of the nosegay.
It is reported that his Majesty intends to have a similar
bouquet carved in wood for the grand side-board of the
magnificent banquetting hall of the palace of the Tui-
leries. At the same time, a splendidly bound volume of
the Gastronomic Regenerator was presented to her Ma-
jesty the Queen, who was gaciously pleased to accept it.
