most famous ooncooter Of juleps OF that day,
and the Prince took 1t through straw. For q
long time tho faeon was preserved. but It was
lost in reconstruction times.

tho polite remark whom the mint Julep was
brought in. When the door was opened an
hour later the Prince was alone and the great
cut-Rlass fiagon was empty. Ever since that
time the room has been known as the Prince
OF Wales Room. 1t was occupied afterward
BY the Marquis Of Lorne and the Princess
