Chapel , in Gray ' s Inn Road ; and that the reverend gentleman is warmly interested in favour of the Institution . St . John ' s day , the 24 th of June , is assumed to be the day . There are many Masons who remember that it was among the best observances of the ' past time , to invoke the aid of the pulpit ; most earnestly do we hope that the deputation to Mr .

THE REPORTER .
METROPOLITAN INSTALLATIONS . —The season , not yet closed , has already afforded the most gratifying assurance of the prosperity of the Craft , in the interest exhibited at such of the Installations as we have had the opportunity of witnessing- Full meetings , new admissions , and right joyous merrymakings , with prudence more as a participator than a check , have characterised them all ; whilst our Reporter has added ubiquity to his other qualifications , for some weeks running , and proved
to us that he is not either a laggard at work , or an idler at refreshment . We now present our readers with the result of his visits on these aud other occasions .
