On the day above-mentioned the two Grand Lodges assembled , for the last time , in their respective halls , and each nominated a Grand Master , Grand Wardens , Grand Treasurer , and Grand Secretary ; after which , they appointed seven electors who met in convention , and after having duly considered the lists of candidates , unanimously elected M .

R . W . Josiah Bartlett , S . G . W . R . W . Mungo Mackay , J . G . W . R . W . Samuel Parkman , G . Treasurer . R . W . Thos . Farrington , G . Secretary .
On the 2 d of March following , the Grand Lodge was opened by the R . W . John Warren , P . G . M ., who announced the elections aforesaid . The Grand Master and Grand Wardens elect , were then introduced by the Grand Marshal , when they were duly installed .
