Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 14, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 January 1912 — The Hampton Court Maze. [ARTICLE]

The Hampton Court Maze.

Ninety-eight thousand persons have paid a penny each tar admission to the famous maze at Hampton Court palace this summer, the largest number for some years. It is estimated that about 25 per cent, of these were foreigners, mostly French and German. During August 24.000 people passed through the turnstiles. For a number of years the takings at the maze were the perquisites of one of the palace attendants, upon whom the right to collect and retain them was conferred by the late Queen Victoria. Since his death a few days ago the takings have gone to his majesty's office of works.—London Standard.
