MOST GORGEOUS PALACE.
Wonderful Collection of Riches for
the Rulers at Delhi.
From Golfers Weekly

IOlu COlleTS weekly.
Seventy-four years after st. Peters
at Rome was finished, Shah Jehan
was building the most magnificent PAL
ace in the East-perhaps in the world
the beautiful Palace of the Moguls
at Delhi. 1t is made of red sandstone
and white marble; some of its walls
and arches are still inlaid with mala-
chite, lapis-lazuIi, bloodstone, agate,
carnelian and jasper. There were once
silver ceilings, silk carpets, and hang
ings embroidered with gems; the pill
lars were hung with brocades; the re-
cesses were filled with china and vases
of flowers, treasures Of the goldsmith's
craft, also, no doubt from Italy and
F'rance-the Italy of the Renaissance
and the France of Mary of Medici. Be-
yond doubt there was the famous
Peacock Throne-"a sort of large four
post bed all made Of gold, with two
peacocks standing behind it, their tails
expanded and set with sapphires, ru-
bies, emeralds, pearls and diamonds,
while parrot cut out of a single
emerald perched upon the tester" On
the front side of the canopy was a
diamond-the Koh-i-noor, now among
the crown jewels of England. Tavern
Ter, the jeweler, who was at Delhi in
1865, beheld these wonders and thought
they represented, all told, two hun
dred millions of livres."
This reflection brings me back to the
ball at Delhi there were nearly four
thousand persons present, including a
number of chiefs in full dress; the
Duke and Duchess of Connaught and
the Grand Duke of Hesse took part
with their excellencies in the state
lancers; ladies who had chairs stood
upon them in order to watch every
figure in that historic dance. At sup
per, I am told, the following amount
of nourishment was gratefully con-
sumed: 5000 eggs 800 quarts of soup,
