siderable interesting history. 1t was consigned

old table has been from time iminemOrial pre-
served Rt the ancient residence Of the Jesuits
at st. lnigoes, St. Mary's County, and has
hccn handed down as the c0uncil.table
OF Lord Baltimore. There can be very
little doubt that IL is what constant traditions
declare II to be, and tho shape of the table in.
dicates that 1t was council table. When the
scat of government was moved from st. Mary's
City.to Annapolis 1t was probably deposited

eighteenth century. II hos at times since
been used az dining. table, but was generally
kept as curiosity to be shown. Il will b.
placed in the library in the new building OF
