TEE^'THAM. 



(Concluded from page 415.) 



Passing a neat balustrade and two or three steps we 

 stand on the upper-terrace flower garden, centered with a 

 heautifixl fountain with a group of elevated statuary. But 

 for the fountain when standing: at the entrance-door of 

 this front, the eye would pass along the centre of the slate 

 terrace, centre walk of flower garden, and centre walk of 

 Italian gardens, right up to the bronze statuary of Perseus 



and Medusa close to the lake, a distance of 940 feet. Section 1 

 on the opposite page will give an idea of that line up to the 

 water. 



The upper flower garden is a square, 210 feet each way,

 making in all 210 feet. The two end balustrades and that
