The ceremonial of installation was never more solemnly and impressively performed than on this occasion ; the whole double rite being gone through by the retiring W . M . of No . 793 , whose Masonic knowledge and correct working render the name of Edward D . Davis , a household name throughout the Craft in the provinces of Northumberland and Durham , in both of which he holds high office .

The Lodges were then opened in the 2 nd Degree , when the ancient charges were read and assented to by the-W . Ms , elect , who were presented for installation by two P . Ms .
