BACON'S CENTRAL HOTEL , ADJOINING FREEMASONS' HALL , GREAT QUEEN STREET , LINCOLN'S INN FIELDS , LONDON , W . C . BRO . THOMAS BACON beg ° s to solicit the kind patronage of Brethren visiting London . The Craft is aware that it was supposed that the Grand Lodge would purchase thc lease of his hotel , a statement to which effect was inserted in all the leading newspapers . He is sorry to say thc report is operating much against his business , as many of his friends and the public , thinking his hotel closed , have gone elsewhere . He therefore trusts that his Brother Freemasons in the country will support him , and the more so as he has been a tenant of Grand Lodge for half-a-ccntury .
