A QUEEN ELIZABETH CHEST,

A Queen Elizabeth chest is one of the cherished
possessions of Theodore Raymond Of Springfield
Mass, the treasure coming him through his
grandmother. The chest had been fought for for
generations until finally it into the hands OF
George c. Raymond. who at once gave it into the
possession of his son. Theodore Raymond. The
great chest IS said once to have been the property
of Queen Elizabeth and TO have been given to her
maid Of honor. Margaret WilIoughby. from whom
the RaymOnds claim descent. The chest came TO
this country in 1885, when Sir Francis Wilioughby
came 10 New England with his wife, Mary. He
became Deputy Governor of Massachusetts in 1865
and continued to hold Office until his death in
1875. Another treasure which he brought with him
was tablecloth of fine linen. with two rows OF
exquisite needlework across it. said TO have been
worked by Queen Elizabeth while she was a pris-
IN the London Tower.
The chest is massive thing. feet long ana
two feet seven inches high and wide. II takes two

ings the inner side Of the lid best preserved

side by medanions representing gay pleasure par
ties Cavaliers are on each side OF the medallions
The carvings on the outside of the chest are in
low relief. and the ravages OF centuries have so
them that II is not possible to tell what they
represent.
The coat Of arms the inner side OF the lid is

The I'D Is fastened to the body by two massivs
wrought iron hinges which are held to the wood
by handmade bolts and At each end Is
large wrought iron handle. Each was apparently
driven through the wood and the ends afterward
clInched. The lock is a work OF art and is fast
ened into the chest by large iron nails. The key
IS large and elaborate.
The Raymon.ls have spent thousands Of dollars
TO establish the authenticity of the chest and
consider that they have done beyond shadow
of doubt.
