Contrary to expectations, Louis Mann, the

FINDS IN ROYAL PALACES.

And now e find has Just been made in Holyrood
Palace OF quantity OF wenigh priceless Flemish
tapestries three hundred years old. which had been
missing since the end Of the eighteenth century.
They were discovered IN clearing out the apart
ments In the palace which the present Duke Of
Hamilton has been forced to surrender to the
crown, after being retained for more than a hum
dred years by previous dukes OF Hamilton as
hereditary keepers Of Holyrood Palace The apart
ments were OF the finest in the palace and
when King Edward, after his accession, caused the
palace 20 be surveyed. with view to fits occasional
use royal residence. Il reported to him
that any such idea would be out OF the question as
long as the Duke OF Hamilton retained the best
rooms. Thereupon the King set to work TO
tain what rights the dukes OF Hamilton had 10 the
apartments in question. and found that they had
no warrant and that their occupation thereof was
pure usurpetion. Accordingly. the duke was asked
70 surrender the rooms. which he promptly pro-
ceeded 20 do. He had never occupied them. had
they been occupied by his predecessors Indeed.
until King Edward took the palace In hand, the
drainage and sanitary arrangements OF the palace
abominable to render Il altogether un-
inhabitable.
After the surrender had been made. some time
last summer, and the Hamilton rooms were exam
ned, all these superb Flemish tapestries dis
covered hidden away there rolled up and forgotten
The duke had the audacity TO put forward a claim
TO the tapestries the ground that they had been
found in his apartments, and would not be salts

him, and now the tapestries TO be used IN drap

palace. in lieu OF the array of mythical royal por-
traits which from artistic point OF view seriously
mar the beauty Of that magnificent and historic
hall.

dred and ten paintings Of alleged predecessors Of
King Charles II on the throne OF Scotland. True,
they have hung in their present place since his

fifty years But they "counterfet present

being copies of authentic originals these crowned
efges Of fabulous Picts and Scots may be described

American visitors 10 Edinburgh will miss them
from the walls OF the great picture gallery Holy

have been the scene OF interesting finds
