The apartments, - bedrooms, salon, dining room,' etce, occupied " by the royal pair S0O years ag6. are still retafned as formerly, even' to - the bed tspifstrle. The paintings and relics are great and the poet's tniginat manuscript is to be found in the library. "The bouse- and furnishings, exclu sive of grounds, are worth half a1 mil- j lion dollars. Avenues of elm trees and drives lead away for two miles in any direction. An artificial lake of seven acres is filled with swan and wild fowl.
