the presence of royalty could secure to the occasion. The
banquet was prepared i❑ the Guildhall, a fine old Gothic
building erected i❑ 1446. The body of the hall was beau-
tifully decorated. Each pillar was encircled with ever-
greens and artificial flowers. In each side aisle three lan-
terns were suspended, and two in the middle; and be-
