~ TIE FAMOUS WATERLOO CHAMBER.
The banquet was served up in the
famous Waterloo chamber, where the
old Iron Duke loved to meet the war
generals OF 1915 OH the Sth OF June every
year, and celebrate the anniversary Oh
the great battle which forever closed the
fortunes OF Napoleon Bonaparte. Here
overlooking Hyde park and within view
of his own statue at the entrance to the
park ut Hyde park corner, the old duke
presided over the annual banquet, re-
vie wing the events of the momentus
times when the supremacy OF Great
Britain was hanging in the balance, with
strong probabilities Of the scale turning
against her. The Waterloo chamber has
been closed good deal since the death
Of Arthur Wellesley, tor the present
duke and duchess have spent most OF
their time when in England at the lovely
estate In Winchelsea, which was pre-.
scnted to the eminent soldier by the
crown after the close of the great Eu-
ropean wars.

Lord Chamberlain to waive the usual
