, up with great enjoyment till full three in the morning . The room was most tastefully decorated with Masonic emblems—including the ensigns of the Royal Arch Chapter , ancl the shields and banners of the Knights Templars . The effect was singular and most striking—to the understanding of a practised Mason , pourtraying an epitome of his
sacred Mysteries , and to the eye of the uninitiated presenting a beautiful series of novel and interesting embellishments . The whole evening passed off with great gratification to the founders ofthe entertainment , ancl with unqualified delight to the invited guests .
