joy-Then , turning to the architect , Bro . J . A . Munroe , Jr ., he said : " To you , Sir , is entrusted the building of this hall , the corner-stone of which we have now laid in due and ancient form . I now place in your hands these plans and working tools with the full confidence that you will carry on the work to a full and successful termination .
The choir then sang the Anthem , " The Earth is the Lord ' s and the fulness thereof .

very felicitous manner thanked the brethren of the Blue Lodges , the Companions of the Chapters of Royal Arch Masons and the Sir Knights of the Encampments for their hearty response to his invitation to be present . Cheers were then given for Carleton Union Lodge and the Grand Master , after which the procession again formed a , nd marched across the square to King-street , down King-street to Union street , along Union-street to Rodney-street , down Rodney-street ' to the Ferry
