CRIMEAN WAR BANQUET : A MEMORIAL
TABLECLOTH. I have in my possession a
large damask tablecloth which was used at
the banquet given in the City to celebrate
the close of the Crimean War.
It has woven thereon the portraits of the generals, Queen Victoria, Prince Albert, and Florence Nightingale, the flags and trophies, and the names of the battles of the war. It was made by Messrs. W. Dewar, Son & Sons, Dunfermline and London. Some par- ticulars of the banquet were published at the time, but I am unable to trace them in the press ; neither can I trace the manu- facturers, who might be able to give me some information. Could any of your readers help me in this direction ?

DR. ALLEN, OB. 1579. One Dr. Allen, a
priest, landed at Bilbao with James Fitz-
maurice Fitzgibbon in August, 1578, having
sailed with him from Brittany, and went with
him to Madrid.
On 2 Feb., 1579, Dr. Nicholas Sander wrote to the Cardinal of Como, Tolomeo Galli, the Papal Secretary of State :
" There is no need for me to commend further Dr. Alan. He can safely be entrusted with the very highest duties, and I should like him to be joined as colleague to any Legate, who may be
appointed This would give satisfaction to the
English, who are more likely to resort to an Englishman."
See Bellesheim, ' Geschichte der Kathol- ischen Kirche,' &c., ii. 708. It is, however, by no means certain that Sander is refer- ring to this Dr. Allen, and not to his friend the famous Dr. William Allen, afterwards Cardinal.
Dr. Allen sailed with Fitzmaurice, Sander, and others from Ferrol, 20 June, 1579, and landed with them in Dingle Harbour (or possibly in Ferriter's Cove), co. Kerry, 18 July. He was slain in the skirmish of Monasteranenagh, 3 Oct., 1579.
John Hooker alias Vowell in ' The Chro- nicles of Ireland,' forming part of his 1587 edition of ' Holinshed's Chronicles,' at p. 159 says :
" This doctor Allen was an Irisheman borne
and devoted himselfe a professed Jesuit to the Romish anti-christ, and an open traitor unto his lawful prince " ;
and at p. 154 :
"James Fitzmoris during his being in Rome, he fell acquainted with doctor Sanders, an English Jesuit, and doctor Allen, an Irish Jesuit." Hooker is certainly wrong in saying that Sander was a Jesuit, and that Sander and Fitzmaurice were ever in Rome together. Perhaps he is also wrong in saying that Dr. Allen was an Irishman and a Jesuit. Cam- den, Thomas Leland, W. E. Flaherty, and others have followed Hooker in calling Dr. Allen an Irish Jesuit, but Froude says he was an English Jesuit, and Mr. Bagwell also thinks he was English. Was he a Jesuit ? Was he English or Irish ? He was certainly not the Irish student in Paris named Thomas Alan, whose name occurs in a list printed by Bellesheim (op. cit., ii. 718), because this list was sent from Paris by Monsignor Anselmo Dandini to Cardinal Galli on 12 Sept., 1579, at which date Dr. Allen had been absent from France more than a year, and was already in Ireland.
What was Dr. Allen's Christian name ? Mackenzie Walcott, in his ' William of Wyke- ham and his Colleges,' speaking of Sander,
