AN " OPEN " MASONIC BANQUET AND INSTALLATION .
[ BY AGKICKLBB . ]
NO . I have not joined the Freemasons , and yon need not si gn yonrnelves mine " fraternally " when you write . Neither am I going to divulge any of the secrets of that ancient and honourable Craft , for tho simple reasin ( hat I know of none that are not patent to all tlio world on this side of the Atlantic . But I have ( by invitation ) partaken of a Masonic banquet , und afterwards honoured with my
presence the inalalla'ion of tho " Worshipful Master , " and a number of minor officers down to the " Tyler . " They reverse the order of things in this conn try , for I am toll that in England they proceed to tho installation first , and afterwards have tho banquet . This is in accordance with tho English marriage law , which enacts thafc the
" solemn service thai ! take place before the wedding feast , humourously called "breakfast" at r . oon . But bless you ! every man present was as sober as a judge after the banquet ; indeed I felt rather more so . For it wai not a " banquet of wine . " There were oysters without Chnblis , chicken without champagne , cheese without crusted
port , and coffee wi ( Inn fc Cognac . Tho venerable editor of tho local paper , by birth an . Englishman , but long since naturalised in this country , told mn nest morning that ho had been unable to sleep all nigh 1- . Perhaps he wns troubled how to compress the fearful amount of copy rrquired to describe nil fcho event- ? of tho evening info half n
column or thorcaV . nl ft , b ? ing nil I ho room he conld spa ~ o ; but ho said it wa = s indigestion ! I do rot wonder at it . Perhaps I shonld havo suffered the a . inin myself , bufc thafc I took ore to put a good s ! ifFj . ' ! a- * 3 of gr » g on ton of the M isrmic buiq : id £ , bjfure T ww-. b to rest .
The banqivt tv . k p ' aco at tha Tovn HP !! , a A the installation r . fc the Misouio Lodgp , whieh was close afc hand . The time appointed , seven p . m , fonnd between two nnd three hundred parsons npsoaiblod nt the Town llall , and us the Freemasons belonging to the Lodge number bat sixty odd there mnst hare b = en a gr- 'afc many outsider ? ,
like myself . Of these tho greater part wero ladies , aid when we sat down to table th'ro were nofc only enough of the fair sex to form a sandwich for every man , but there were some over and above tint might havo been utilised as wall flowers or ornaments—only , of course , they were rot . Tbe amateur waiters were all members of the
Fratern ' fcy , but I no'i-ed that they did not put on their aprons until their work irai don-- , which was a pify , . as they might have found them useful , the aprons being : composed of linen gla ? s cloth , such a ? is used for rubbing and polishing glasses—bnt I forgot , there were no glasses used !
" Anything m rea * o- > , " said tho Lord Mayor s butler ( in Punch ) to the gnesfc who asked for a si as 3 of beer , "bat beer at fche Mansion Honse !! " Anything in renso : ' , say T , bit coffee ( or tea ) , and nothing else , nt a M ' . sonic banquet .
