MELBOURNE . INAUGURATION OE THE NEW MASONIC HALL . On the evening of Monday , Sept . 14 , 1808 , the new hall was inaugurated by a complimentary banquet given by the Lodge of Australia Felix ( No . 474 ) to tho Right AA ' orshipful District and Provincial Grand Masters and their oflicers , and it may be truly said that the Craft showed themselves in splendid form .
The principal feature in the building is the grand hall , which formerly served for the public business of the Insolvent Court . The aspect of this room has been entirely changed , and the old frequenters would hardly recognise it . From an ungainly smoke-dried chamber it is transformed into an elegant hall , second to none in the city for beauty of decoration . Its dimensions are , in length 50 feet , in breadth 26 feet , and in height 24
feet . At one end a handsome gallery has been erected , and at the other there is a slightly elevated stage , surmounted by a canopy of blue festooned cloth . The decorations have been executed under the superintendence of Air . E . L . Bateman , who has judiciously tinted the walls with an agreeable builj the ceiling being of a , light blue with silver stars . The hall is lighted with gas jets at the sides , and by a reflector in the centre of the ceiling . Upstairs there is a smaller lodgo room , in
which tho ordinary meetings are held , and wherein are contained all the mystic fittings . Messrs . Reed and Barnes were the architects for all the alterations . The lodge was opened shortly after seven , and after the ceremony of receiving the distinguished brethren from the Provincial Grand Lodges had been gone through , three gentlemen , Messrs . Heymansen , Nybag , and Stevenson were duly initiated into the mysteries of Freemasonrythe impressiveness of
, the ceremony , under the presidentship of the AA ' . M . Bro . Joseph Aarons , being materially enhanced by the performances on the harmonium by Bro . Scliott and the singing of Bros . Rainf ' ord , Donaldson , Amory , and a well-selected choir . The lodge having been closed , the brethren adjourned to the new hall , their number being considerably increased by late arrivals . The scene in the banqueting chamber was a very brilliant oneand was
, rendered more interesting by the presence of ladies in the gallery facing the dais . The chair was occupied by Bro . Jos . Aarons , supported on the right by the R . AA' . D . G . AL , Bro . Capt . Staudish , Bros . J . S . Butters , Mayor of Melbourne ; Dr . Traeey , Revs . Cole and Ewing , P . D . G . AI . of Tasmania ; and on his left by the R . AV . Prov . G . AI . ' s Bros . Smith and Reid , and D . G . AI . ' s Bros . Barnes and Edwards . The usual loyal and Masonic toasts were

given and received with all due honour , and the health of the three Provincial Grand Masters , the Deputy Provincial and District Grand Alasters , and the AV . A 1 . of the Australia Felix , Bro . J . Aarons , were nil drunk and heartily responded to . The grand treat of the evening was the singing of Madame Anna Bishop , who in the kindest possible manner sang with all her old pleasing voice and effect , taking part in the Masonic version of the National Anthemin addition to several solos in her best
, style , the favourite , of course , being " Home , sweet home . " The brethren who had assisted in the musical portion of the lodge ceremonial also again rendered their valuable services . It was not till a later hour that the guests separated , having evidently thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality of Lodsre Australia Felix .
