ROSAMOND'S BOWER.

48. A MAZE OR LABYRINTH.

This maze is a correct ground-plan of one in the gardens of the Palace of Hampton Court. No legendary tale is attached to it, of which we are aware, but its labyrinthine walks occasion much amusement to the numerous holiday parties who frequent the palace grounds. The puzzle is to get into the center, where seats are placed under two lofty trees; and many are the disappointments experienced before the end is attained; and even then, the trouble is not over, it being quite as difficult to get out as to get in.
