RANDOM NOTES AND REFLECTIONS .
AN elaborate account was given in the limes on tbe 13 th November last of tbe new ball room at Sandringham , the Norfolk residence of onr Grand Master H . R . H . the Prince of Wales , which was opened for the first time on the preceding Friday night . We cannot
describe the beauty and richness of this new addition to the Hall , and if we conld find space for it the news would now be out of date in these times of rapid history making . There are one or two features , however , connected with the room that are worthy of notice . According to the
Times , the floor is of oak , with a simple parquet bordering . Writing to that journal , Mr . Charles Steinitz , of tbe London Parquetry Works , Camberwell , pointed out , that the whole of the floor , although having the appearance of simple oak , " is in reality a parquetry floor , especially made
for dancing , " and was supplied by him , as weU as other work of the same kind used in the building . It is satisfactory to notice that several local firms were engaged in the erection of the new wing , among them being that old and
highly respected firm Messrs . Barnard , Bishops and Barnard , who are celebrated for their artistic productions in metals . We know that some of the members of the firm are the brothers of Tubal Cain and belong to the Craft , as doubtless do others who were concerned in the erection
and decoration of the new ball room . It is pleasant to record the doings of our Grand Master apart from his labours as the great ruler of the Craft . We know the value of his services to the Order , and they are apparent in other' departments of life . No reasonable
person begrudges the Prince of Wales those enjoyments which to a few narrow minds appear unworthy of one occupying his high station , and by a still more diminished number as immoral . He is the arbiter of his own tastes , and the fact that he is the idol of all classes , proves how
well he orders his pleasures and his work . Few men work harder than the Prince of Wales , and none are better disposed in favour of encouraging trade , especially among
local firms and persons . We do not say that the same feeling that actuates him with regard to these operates in all cases of those who are Freemasons , but it is not unfair to assume that he favours such whenever he can .
It is only a few years since that the Prince of Wales barely escaped from the jaws of death , owing to the attack of a disease contracted at Sandringham , occasioned , it was believed , by bad drainage . Never was the loyalty of the people more deeply or painfully stirred than during the
period when the Prince hovered between life and death . The bulletins were awaited with anxious hearts , and when the welcome news came that the crisis bad passed , there was relief throughout the land , and general rejoicing marked the day set apart for thanksgiving . We are not
surprised , therefore , to find , that when H . R . H . resolved to build a new wing at Sandringham , his first care should be as to drainage and ventilation . It is only a fortnight ago that we recorded the high praise bestowed by Col . Leach , R . E ., npon Bro . Thomas Crapper , of the firm of Crapper
and Co ., of Chelsea , for the excellent way in wtocn ne naa carried out certain drainage works at the Royal Masonic School for Girls , Battersea . The testimony of Col . Leach , under whose superintendence the works had been carried out . was complete and emphatic , and was cordially accepted
by the General Committee . It is not , perhaps , generally known that Messrs . Crapper carried onfe the lighting , heating , ventilating , and sanitary arrangements recently at Sandringham . It is , nevertheless , true , and worthy of record for it shows that the firm have made a high reputa * of
tion in these most essential departments ^ a building , We congratulate Bro . Crapper upon the success he has attained , and trust that the reputation already earned as a sanitary engineer may not only be maintained but strengthened in the future .
