HHHP 2 Annual Meeting of Grand Lodge for the installation I of Grand Master and the appointment and investiture of Grand Officers was held on Wednesday , the 24 th April , at Freemasons' Hall , the MAY . Pro Grand Master , Earl Amherst , presiding . There has seldom been so large an attendance at any meeting of Grand Lodge , and not only
the body of the hall but the gallery were crowded . This was due in some measure to the belief on the part of many brethren that His Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught would be present , but it must on reflection have been apparent to every one that the capacity of Freemasons ' Hall would have been quite inadequate to accommodate a
tithe of those qualified to attend such an important function . The announcement by the Fro Grand Master at the banquet sets at rest all doubts as to the time and place of meeting for the installation of His Royal Highness , which will take place at the Albert Hall on a day of the week ending the 20 th Inly next .
Grand Lodge having been formally opened , the Grand Secretary read the minutes of the March Quarterly Communication in so far as thev related to the election of the Grand Master and the Grand Treasurer . Bro . Frank Richardson , Acting Grand Directors of Ceremonies , then proclaimed His Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught
Most Worshipful Grand Master for the year ensuing . This was followed by the announcement that the Grand Master had been pleased to re-appoint the Right Hon . Earl Amherst Pro Grand Master , and the Right Hon . the Earl of Warwick Deput y Grand Master , and these
distinguished brethren were respectively proclaimed and saluted accordingly . The following brethren were then appointed and invested Grand Officers for the year : — Bro . The Viscount Templetown -,.. ,, , TT , . , „ ' ' . S . G . Warden , ( reappointed ) ... ... 1
