Especial Grand Lodge—April 25.
ESPECIAL GRAND LODGE—APRIL 25 .
The especial Grand Lodge and festival were held at Freemasons' Hall . The Most Worshipful Grand Master , the Right Hon . Earl of Zetland , was again installed Grand Master for the ensuing year , and appointed the Right Hon . Earl of Yarborough , Deputy Grand Master ; Bros . Dundas and Beadon , Grand Wardens ; Bros . Nelson and Udall , Grand Deacons : Bros . Rev . Cox and Gleadall , Grand Chaplains . The other appointments were the same as those of last year .
The GRAND MASTER , in the best speech we have ever heard him der liver , thanked the brethren on his re-election , and expressed his desire to be of service to the craft , and to find everything connected with it progressing satisfactorily . The Grand Stewards presented the names of their successors for the
ensuing year . Bro . BRERETON , representative of the Grand Lodge of England at the Grand Lodge of Ireland , presented a medal to the M . W . Grand Master from the Duke of Leinster , the Grand Master of the Freemasons of Ireland . The medal was made to commemorate the centenary of the Grand Masters' Lodge of Ireland . Bro . B . took the opportunity to assure the Grand Master of the unalterable and truly brotherly feeling that prompted the M . W . Grand Master of Ireland to depute him to
present the medal , which he hoped would add to the reciprocal feeling already existing ; words of his would but indifferently describe the high opinion entertained of the English Craft in Ireland , and more particularly of its head the Earl of Zetland ; they were anxious to have the most fraternal interchange of communication and brotherly love , and he trusted that his being sent to present the medal personally , would cement their friendship .
The GRAND MASTER accepted the centenary medal for himself and the Grand Lodge of England , and in their joint names returned thanks ; he was proud of the opportunity of communicating , through the representative of the Grand Lodge , and trusted the feeling that existed at present might long continue , to the improvement and friendship of every member of the craft . The medal had on one side a motto , on the reverse some masonic emblems .
The GRAND MASTER then admonished the Grand Stewards to'keep order and sobriety ; he was aware of their intention and desire to enforce decorum , but as he could not forget a former occasion , he must once more impress upon them , that one and all were alike responsible for the evening ' s events ; he had understood their arrangements were very good , and he hoped they would carry them into effect .
