before attempted in this country. Chelsea College has

take place, is an apartment of noble dimensions, 150 feet
long, by nearly 50 broad, and 40 high. The Marquis of
Exeter, as Her Majesty's Lord Chamberlain, has the
direction of this portion of the ceremonial, and the pro-

in the removal of those time-honoured relics in the shape
of captured flags with which the walls of the old hall are
hung. Many of these flags were taken in the Duke of
