Consecration Of The Yarborough Lodge, No. 812,
At the close of the proceedings the brethren partook of an elegant banquet , supplied by mine host of the George ( which proved the best piece of workmanship of the day , if we except the eloquent and able oration of the Grand Chaplain , Bro . Cox ) . The injudicious speech of the Prov . Grand Master for Cambridgeshire , which had well nigh disturbed the masonic harmony , and the inefficiency of the P . S . G . Warden and his assistants in the consecration , as well as
the trashy nonsense of Bro . Gibbins in the installation of the Worshipful Master , were a sad drawback . How came it , that when there were so many of the best working Masons in the Craft present , that some of them were not asked to take part in the proceedings ? They certainly would not have turned the beautiful ceremonies into ridicule . We must exempt Bro . Vesper , the Worshipful Master , and his officers , from any charge of neglect or inattention to their duties ; courteous hospitality , and goodly promise of efficiency , were as well displayed by them , as was the inefficiency of the installation itself too palpable to be passed over without expressing regret at the circumstance .
