It is all because of the eccentric

world. It shuts up shop for the day

The place originally was known as
"Convent Garden," for it belonged. to
a society of monks, but even in the
oldest recorded times vegetalales seem
to have been sold there. Historic .cbar-
acters by the score knew the old place
and its teigiabourhood well. At the
cornerr of Bow street, now known to
fame only for its police court:, Will's
Coffee House, stood, a gathering place
for several generations of famous wits
and sharing with the old Cheshire
Cheese the distinguished patronage,
when they were in funds, of G -old -
smith, Boswell,. Garrick and Dr. John-
son.
The whole district, seven acres in
all, was given by the Crown, to the
ancestor of the present Duke of Bed-
ford about the time Columbus was
discovering America. It was just a
modest little token of regard for the
rent of the whole peoperty was only
$30 a year at that time, about the
same as the cheapest stand in the
cheapest corner of the flower mar-
ket to -day.
The Duke of Bedford, by wisdom or
by hick, clung to his seven acres, and
to this day a large part of them help
to make the present Duke of' Bedford
one of the richest men in England.
