RICHMOND , SURREY , July 16 . —The Lodge of Harmony met this day to celebrate their annual festival ; we missed those old friends , Bros . Sir Felix Booth , Day , Clarke , ancl others ; but then we found the Patriarch AValton , who , in his 80 th year , was hale in a green old age ; his delivery of the charge to a newly initiated candidate , Brother Bowyer , was among the finest deliverances of that Masonic composition . The ceremonies of initiation passing and raising were very ably conducted by
tbe VV . Master , Bro . J . A . D . Cox , assisted by the Rev . T . T . Haverfield , who may be justly styled the presiding genius of this excellent Lodge . Bro . Haverfield ivas a pupil of that celebrated Mason , Dr . Hemming , whose steps he has deliberately followed ; we observed , during the ceremony some remains of former practice , which , however exceptionable in point of strict discipline , was effective and interesting . The social hour lost nothing of its anticipated pleasure ; the Master , as chair'
man , proved how well the mantle of " Old Harmony" fitted him . Many excellent addresses were made by the Master , Bros . Haverfield , AValton , the newly initiated Brother , Captain M'Donald ; also , by several visiting Brethren , among whom were Bro . Smith , the Junior Grancl AVarden , Dr . Crucefix , P . G . D ., Forman , & c . & c . CROSS OF CHRIST ENCAMPMENT , Auy . 16 . —The imposing ceremonies of the Degrees of R . C . and N . P . U . were most ably conducted by the
M . W . S . Goldsworthy , who exalted two candidates on the occasion . Sir Knft Crucefix afterwards addressed the Knights on the principles of the Order , ancl made some pertinent remarks on Masonry in general .
