THE GUN BOOM AT BALMORAL.
One of the most interesting rooms at Balmoral, says the "Man about Town" in the London "Evening News," is the gun room, which is decorated with the heads of stags brought down by various members of the Royal Family. The room was formed by Queen Victoria, and has as its central feature a' magnificent "Royal" that was brought down by the Prince Consort. Under each head is a small brass plate, setting out the name of the shot and the date. Among the heads are those that fell to the present King, the Duke of Crnnaught, the Prince of Wales, and Prince Albert. Interspersed with these are a series of rare sporting prints put up by the late King Edward, who greatly enjoyed a cigar and a chat here after the day's sport, was over. j
