One Peer, One Horseshoe.

A curious custom. which is of great
antiquity, still prevails In the town OF
oakham. in Rutlandshire. Every peer of
the realm passing near the castle, which
was built by Walkelin de Ferrers. is ex-
pccted to deliver q shoe from the foot OF
one OF his horses or to pay a fine In de-
fault. The fine usually takes the form OF
an ornamental horseshoe, often surnount-
cd by the coronet of the peer presenting
it. The total number OF shoes at present
in possession OF the local authorities IS
800, and among them the most valued are
those presented by Queen Elizabeth, KING
George w., Queen Victoria and Queen
Alexandra. who passed through the town
some years ago when Princess OF Wales.
Additions to the collection have recently
been made by Lord Denman and the
Earl of leicester. Many OF the SHOES
hang in the hall of the castle. which IS
now used as shire hall. The building
is said to be the finest example OF an
isolated Norman hall to be found in Eng
land .-London Grapnic.
