CUMBERLAND AND WESTMORELAND . KIRKBY LONSDALE . PHOVKCIAIJ GRAND LODG-E . — INSTALLATION OP BRO . THE RIGHT Hoy . THOMAS LORD KEITHS . Many and many a day will have to pass away ere the remenibranceof Fridaythe 27 th Sep . can be eradicated from the memory
, , of the good people of Kirkby Lonsdale , and it will be a long time ere the part which was played at the same time by the Provincial Grand Lodge of Free aud Accepted Masons of Cumberland and Westmoreland can possibly be forgotten by that Order . The Right Hon . Thomas Lord ICenlis is the head and front and glory of the little Northside town ; he is deeply and justly revered by the people , and everything that concerns him
is regarded with interest by them ; hence it was natural that the proceedings should be watched in a spirit of enthusiastic pleasure . The installation of the noble lord was an event in the eyes of the Masonic lodge of this district , as well as in those of the inhabitants of the town in which it was celebrated , an event of the most lively and enduring character . For some time before its consummation the ceremonial had attracted considerable attentionand it was looked forward to with no little
, anticipation . The Kirkby Lonsdale folk looked for something that would prove more than usually attractive , aud the Kirkby Lonsdale folk had their expectations fully realised . The lodge itself felt that the coming event was casting its shadow in advance . To give effect to the pageantry , if we may be allowed the expression , circulars were issued by Bro . Edward Busker , Gt . Sword Bearer of England , and Prov . G . Sec , addressed ta the officers , Masters , Wardens , and all whom it might concern ,
inviting their attendance . These invitations were sent into the neighbouring county of Cumberland and into that of Lancaster . Special trains were arranged for from Whitehaven , taking up members at the intermediate stations of Carlisle , Penrith , & c . ; and , in short , everything that could be done to ensure a large and brilliant gathering , together with a bright and an imposing demonstration , was effected . The weather was all that could be desired . Betimes in the morning visitors began to arrive in the town , both by road and rail . Numerous private carriages and other conveyances were driven in from Kendal , loaded to overflowing with brethren and their ladies ; others also came in
from the adjacent towns . The special train entered the station about ten o'clock , bringing at least two hundred and fifty persons , composed of Masons , their friends , and of the ordinary sight-seer . Thus , it may be imagined that the lilliput town presented quite a thronged appearance , aud well it might , con « sidering that there could not have been fewer than eighteen hundred strangers present . Of course , the usual decorations were conspicuously distributed throughout the streets , or ,
rather , on certain of the principal buildings , such aa the hotel ? , leading shops , the concert hall , and church tower , & c , which , altogether presented a very gay and lively appearance . The entrance , or gateway to the churchyard from the western , or Underley-road end , was adorned with evergreens , which in their turn were bedizened with flags and small banners . The bells of the church rang at intervals , and the presence of the Saltaire brass band—an excellent body of musiciansby-the-byewho
, , played with considerable ability—did much to enliven the echoes . Troopers belonging to the Yeomanry were likewise present , as also a contingent from the Rifle Volunteers , under the command of Lieutenant Pearson . An extra force of constables were on duty at various points along the line of route taken by the procession , and Mr . Superintendent Hibberd was in command . Throughout the ton-n a partial holiday was observed , business being to a great extent suspended . In
accordance with the programme , the brethren assembled at the temporary lodge-room in the Concert Hall , at a few minutes after ten o ' clock . Subsequently the business of the day was commenced . The installation of the R . W . Prov . G . Master , Lord Kenlis , was performed by the Right Hon . Lord do Tabley , R . W . Prov . G . Master of Cheshire , assisted by Bro . iEneas J . Maclntyre , G . Registrar of Englandand the following brethren of Masonic
, distinction . The brethren were in proper Masonic full dress Craft clothing , the officers wearing the insignia of their office and rank , that , together with the chain worn by Lord Kenlis , being presented to him by the Order , a brilliant display was organised . The next business was the appointment of the Grand Officers for the ensuing year , and the election of a Prov . G . Treas . ; after which votes of condolence to the families of Bro . F . S . B .
