PAID WITH A FLAG.
Rich DucaI Estates In England With a
Curious Rental.

1t IS not generally known that on
the anniversary Of Waterloo each year
June IS, 1915, was the original day
the Duke Of Wellington is required to
present the sovereign with new flag
bearing the French colors as an ac.
acknowledgement that his grace holds the
manor of Strathfieldsaye at the will
and pleasure of the king, that estate
having been presented to the Iron Duke
as a national gift for his success over
Napoleon at Waterloo
The ceremony of the presentation of
the flag is today much shorn of its
ancient glory, for formerly the ruling
duke used to bring the trophy himself
on horseback and personally offered 1t
to the monarch. Nowadays it is sent
by deputy, however, and is then placed
BY some appointed equerry in the po
sttion assigned to it-namely, over the
marble bust of the old Duke of We'll
hngton that stands on its pedestal in
the guardroom at Windsor castle. The
flag which has rested there during the
preceding year is then taken down and
returned to the dukes messenger
1t Is on the special condition of thus
rendering this annual tribute of feudal
service, as we may call it. that the
reigning duke is allowed to retain the
splendid estate already mentioned. If
be omits to send the banner on the
proper day he forfeits the right to the
estates.
The same principle applies to the
beautiful domains of Blenheim held
by the Duke of Marlborough. who sim.
Harry has to send new flag on each
anniversary Of the battle Aug 10.

bust Of the noted Duke of Marlbor-
ough, also in the guardroom at Wind
