Installation Of The Earl De Grey And Ripon As Most Worshipful Grand Master, And Grand Festival.
INSTALLATION OF THE EARL DE GREY AND RIPON AS MOST WORSHIPFUL GRAND MASTER , AND GRAND FESTIVAL .
On Saturday , the 14 th inst ., this ceremony ( which hud been postponed in consequence of the loss of relatives by the Grand Muster elect and the Deputy Grand Muster nominate , in the recent outrages in Greece ) took place at the Freemasons' Hall , Great Queen-street . On this occasion there were assembled to welcome the M . W .
Grand Master on his installation , the largest and most influential meeting of Freemasons over held within the Freemasons ' Hall in London ; the numbers being variously estimated at from 1 , 000 to 1 , 200 , many of whom were unable to obtain admittance , and were obliged to content themselves with waiting in the passages and corridors , or in embracing an early opportunity of taking their places at the banqueting table , at which
had there been sufficient accommodation , we have no doubt that four times tbe number would have dined . H . R . H . the Prince of Wales arrived shortly before five o ' clock and was conducted by Bro . Sir Albert Woods ( Garter ) , Grand Director of Ceremonies , to the reception-room , in which were the Earl of Zetland , Earl do Grey and Ripon , the Duke of
Manchester , ancl other distinguished Grand Officers . This ceremony was appointed to take place at half-past four , but fully an hour before that time all the approaches to the temple were crowded , ancl great confusion prevailed in the clothing room , and also in tlio room where the brethren should have signed previous to obtaining tickets of admission to the
temple . It must have been anticipated that this important occasion would have drawn together a great concourse of brethren , and that even the large amount of accommodation existing at the hall would have been inadequate , and some extra precautions certainly should have been taken to secure the order and regularity usually so strictly observed .
The arrangements having signally failed , tho doors of tho hall were thrown open , and within ten minutes every part , excepting that reserved for the officers of Grand Lodge , was most densely crowded , it being estimated that upwards of 700 brethren were present , whilst sitting room had been provided for less than one-half that number . It was not until past five that
the Grand Officers were announced , and then all attempts at the usual procession had to be abandoned , and the Grand Officers had to reach the dais as best they could . The M . W . G . Master , the Eurl of Zetland , presided , ancl was supported by H . R . H . the Prince of Wales , P . G . M . ; Bros . Hall , Prov . G . M . Cambridgeshire , as D . G . M . ; the Earl Dalhousie , P .
