In 103.5 he •was defeated bv .lohn Hayncs (q.v.) for Governor of the colony, "and the piijue at this defeat and dissatisfaction with his surroundings led him in the following year to join, with a company of his Dorchester' neighbors, the migration led by Thomas Hooker (q.v.) into the lower Connecti- cut valley.

The great gardens were laid out by Le Notre, and were planted with trees and shrubs of many countries and adorned with antique statues.' The buildings were the palace, the gallery of statues, and the Casino dell' Aurora with a fresco by Guercino. The latter building alone is preserved: the grounds have been sold and built upon in recent years. The collection contained a number of valuable sculp- tures, among them the celebrated Ludovisi .Juno and Ludovisi ilars. The marbles were removed in 1891 to the Palace of the Piombino princes, who inherited the property.
