Mas "" as the Earl of Kintore , who , he was sure , would do all he could to cement the kind feeling which existed between England and Scotland . He hoped he might even see that it bad further reaching consequences than it had at present . The ceremony of installation was thon

proceeded with , and the Earl of Kintore was placed in tho chair , and saluted according to ancient custom . In acknowledg ing the salutation the new Grand Master said he had often been told , and he believed it was sound doc . trine that a man speaks best who uses fewest words to

express his thoughts . He felt a difficulty in finding any words which would adequately give expression to the sentiments which he entertained and felt at that moment . Ho was well aware of what was expected at his hands . Ho knew , and he hoped the brethren would believe , that

his earnest endeavours , and bis utmost ability , wonld bo at the service of Mark Masonry in England and Wales and the Colonies and Dependencies of the British Crown . He could do no more than his best , and bis best be promised . The brethren took him , so to speak , as a servant without a

character ; he had not , for many years , been connected with the English G . L . He came from the northernmost part of the kingdom , ancl not only for himself , but in the name of Masonry in Scotland , and especially of the Provincial Graud Chanter of which he was Principal , gladly accepted

the high office they had given him in the Grand Lodge of England . He could also say that of all the congratulations he had received from his friends none bad been so cordial or so hearty as those from office bearers in the Grand Chapter of Scotland . He was sure that Canon Portal

would agree with him that that augured well for the cordial and friendly relations which at present existed between the two bodies . His only regret was that he came as the immediate successor of so brilliant a Grand Master as Lord Henniker bad proved himself to bo .

Truly the interests of their Grand Lodge bad not suffered at his hands . All wished him recovery from tbe injury he had met with . It was hoped he would have been present , but being absent the Grand Mark Master hoped he should have authority from the brethren to convey to

his predecessor the regret all felt at his unfortunate accident . In conclusion the Earl of Kintore said that nothing should be wanting on his part to continue the good work which had been carried on during the reign of Lord Henniker . Brother Davison was then re-elected

G . Treasurer . In acknowledging the compliment said he had certainly intended to retire from the office of G . Treasurer , which he had held for ten years . It was , however , thought inadvisable , on account of the death of Bro . Dewar , that a change should be made at the present time , and

therefore he had consented to remain another year , at the end of which time he should have great pleasure in proposing some brother to succeed him in the office . The other offices in Grand Lodge were filled by the following appointments : —
