Account.New York, June 29.—-What is said by Jewellers to be the largest diamond ever seen in this country is now in this city on its way to the Pan-American exposition. It is canary color, and was purchased abroad to form part of an exhibit at the exposition. It reached here from the other side a few days ago. It weighs In its present finished state 201%. carats. The famous Kohinoor diamond, which belongs to the British crown weighs in its present form 106 1-16 carats. The color of the larger stone makes its value only a fraction of the value put upon the Kohinoor. The weight of the Orioff diamond Is 194% carts. There have been reports from South Africa about a diamond found at Jagersfontein in 1893, weighing 971% carats and blue white in color.The stone now here, to which no name has as yet been given, that being reserved until It reaches Buffalo, was found about a year ago in the Kimberley district in South Africa. Its weight in the rough was 600 carats. It was recognized as a stone which It would be a pretty hard job to sell, so a syndicate was formed to purchase it from the DeBeers company, bring it to Europe and try and find a market for it. It was cut in Amsterdam and lost about two-thirds of its weight. It was then purchased by Stem Brothers in Amsterdam.A reporter was permitted to see the diamond yesterday. It Is about the size of a bantam’s egg. It is cut as a brilliant and has sixty-four facets. As a canary or yellow' diamond It Is perfect, being absolutely flawless and with a very brilliant lustre.The Pan-American diamond will probably travel all over Europe after it has been exhibited, for then will begin the hunt for a purchaser. In the case of a diamond of such a size to sell it In an ordinary way is hardly possible, and its commercial value, therefore, canuot be estimated. Diamonds of a quarter of its size and of the same color have travelled all over the w'orld many times before they have found a purchaser. Usually they go to some crown collection or cabinet. That is where the owners of the present stone hope it will go after the exhibition, and for that reason it will be shown in every city of any size in Europe in order that royalty may get a look at it.That it will form one of the most interesting exhibits at Buffalo cannot be doubted. It has excited a great deal of interest and amazement among the jewellers.■REMINISCENCES OF ROBERT BURNS.Notebook of Dr. Chambers.Mr. Tennant of Ayr, whom I visited today, has a perfect recollection of Burns.
