could conveniently be accomodated in the regular lodge room , an expectation which was amply realized , for on the opening of the lodge a lew minutes after 3 , it was at once seen that careful management would be required to enable the different parts of the ceremonies to be performed
with the proper ellect . The chair was taken b y the W . Bro . G . S . Tudor , W . M . and D . P . G . M . of the province , who went through the whole of the work in a most admirable and effective manner , that left nothing to be desired . The Board of Installed Masters was one of the largest
