mitted into this beautiful and delighted craft . The tenour of his life , the learned Sheriff said , had not enabled him to mingle much with the Masonic body since that time . But his predecessor * in the office which whieh he had now the honour to hold , was one of the most enthusiastic , straig htforward , and eloquent members of Masonry that was ever kno-vn in this country . Many a time and oft had they heard his eloquence upon that subject .
There was not a subject dearer to his heart , and in nothing did he rejoice more than in dwelling upon the glories of Masonry from most ancient times . He ( Sheriff Bell ) had also the honour of attending on more than one public oacasion , along with their late Grand Master—a most eloquent and admirable representative of their body . No man could have held that office with greater honour to himself and greater dignity , and , he was sure , with greater satisfaction to the brethren , than Lord Dalhousie .
But he rejoiced to see that , after having retired with years and honours , Lord Dalhousie ' s seat had been filled by a younger nobleman , with all the enthusiasm of youth and all the energy of benevolent manhood . He was sure Lord K'ossiyn would most
worthily fill the chair which Lord Dalhousie had vacated . He hoped that for many years to come the brethren would be able to look up to his lordship as a most worthy representative of Masonry—as one in whom they could have the utmost confidence , who would assist them in the difficulties which mig ht occur in their various lodges , and who be hoped would rule firmly , but at the same " time rule with love . . Sheriff Bell concluded by saying that he cordially concurred iu the desire to
become a better Mason than he was , and if so he would he happy to meet more frequently with the brethren . The concert was an excellent one , the artistes being Mdme . Vaneri , Miss Smith , Mr . Eraser , Mr . Houston , and a Masonic Choir . A grand assembly followed , which the Subs G . M . Bro . Inglis , of Torsonoe , with Miss Barrow , led off . Wo may mention that the R . AA . Bro . Montgomerie Neilson , P . G . M . of Glasgowentertained the M . W . the Grand Master the
, , Right Hon , the Earl of Rosslyn , at an early dinner at tho New Club , previously to attending the festival . His lordship was received by Sir M . Shaw Stewart , Henry Inglis . Esq ., Colonel Campbell , of Blythswood , the Lord Provosf , Sheriff Bell and Colonel Dreghorn .
