The Grand Lodge Of New York.

THE GRAND LODGE OF NEW YORK .

THE delegates to the 108 th Annual Communication of the State of New York met in the Masonic Temple , at Twenty-third-street , and Sixth-avenue , on the 4 th ult . At 2 o ' olook the order was given to fall in line , and the 700 representatives of the various Lodges throughout the State , wearing their glittering jewels and beautiful regalia , proceeded to the council chamber , wore they were received

by the resident members . During the interval taken up in seating the delegates , the organist , George W . Morgan , assisted by the St . Ceoile Lodge , furnished appropriate music . Prayer was then offered by the Eev . Dr . Robert Collyer , after which the "New Jubilee March " was played .

After receiving a number of distinguished visitors from England , Scotland and Ireland , and several States in the Union , Grand Master Prank R . Lawrence delivered his address , which was interrupted frequently by applause from the hearers . " For the first time in its history , the Grand Lodge assembles to-day in a home which is

absolutely its own , " said the Grand Master , " a home over which no debt casta its shadow , against which no man holds tho smallest claim . The sounds of our recent rejoicing have scarcely died away when we come together , to take sober account of the doings of the paBt and to develop farther plans for the future . " The Grand Master then devoted considerable time to the commemoration of deceased

mombers , to the dispensations and appointments . Referring to the Washington Centennial , he said : At about the beginning of the year I was invited to designate , and did designate , three members of the Grand Lodge as members of the General Committee , having the celebration in

chargeunderstand-, ing the invitation as signifying a desire that the Masonic Fraternity shonld take part in the proceedings . Although the brethren designated by mo wero appointed as members of the General Committee several months before the celebration their views were not requested upon any subject connected with the purpose for which the

Committee was organised . They were never notified of the holding of a meeting of the committee , nor , so far as they are awaro , was such a meeting held subsequently to their appointment . The ceremonies , I am happy to say , were altogether successful . The subject is here mentioned only in order that the omission of our Fraternity to take

an appropriate part in them may not remain without explanation . He added further , as to the policy of the Grand Lodge in granting dispensations for new LodgeB , that it had been to discourage suoh applications , and he believed rightfully . Touohing upon the relations with sister Grand Lodges , the Grand Master gave a protracted

history of the difficulty with the Grand Lodge of New Jersey , regarding the Lemm brothers . " As the matter stands , " continued the Grand Master , " the regular initiation of a candidate in a Lodge under our jurisdiction has been branded as ' unlawful , without Masonic virtue ill

, " , void and of no effect , ' and one whom we recognise as one of onr brethren is denied that fraternal intercourse which must be enjoyed by all Masons of this State . Our request for the arbitration of the question has been assented to , after a delay of many months . " It would , he added , soon be amicably settled .

¦ Ihe Grand Master then spoke of the Hall and Asylum Fund , whioh amounted , all told , to 140 , 000 dollars . The bonds , he said , had been completel y paid off , and the improvement which had taken place in c 7 ^ n ancial affa « a of tho Grand Lodge amounted to more than oUO , 000 dollars in the last four .

years The report of the Grand Secretary , E . M . L . Ehlers , showed a bala °° on h » nd , after all expenditures , of 30 , 921 ' 81 dollars . There win be meetings thia morning at 9 o ' clock , and this afternoon at « 0 clock .
