About 20th December, 1890, some three days after the departure of H. E. Lord Curzon from Baarca, I received a letter from Mr. Porter, then Agent to the Governor-General and Commissioner, to the effect that a few ivory chairs of particular workmanship kopt in the side rooms of my gaest house had attracted the attention of the Viceroy as their carving corresponded with those alrealy in his possession

at his Kedleston house in England, The Viceroy, therefore, desired to know if I had say objection to part with them for a reason- able price, provided I had no sentimental associations attached to them. Till the receipt of this letter the chairs ware lying in cegu parativo oblivion. Although they must have

been seen by hundreds of my distinguished guests, nobody ever seemed to take care of them with any special interest. I had therefore not the least hesitation in expressing my willingness to part with them if His Excelleney would condescend to accept them as a prescut, as the ilen of selling auch things was ro-
