An Interesting Retrospect.

AN INTERESTING RETROSPECT .

AT present Freemasonry in New York is living mainly in the hearts of the Brethren . Our Hall is dismantled and dark , every room is turned topsy-turvy , carpets are " up , "

altars wheeled into : odd corners , and a new electric light plant is being installed , every wire in the building being removed and replaced . In such circumstances there is much " confusion in the Craft . " Lodges which had made it a boast that they never " called off , " that heat or cold made to them no

difference , that their Masonic temperature remained the same summer and winter , have had to' call a halt and learn the blissful lessons which may be drawn from patience . It is promised that by September the Hall will be in order once more and that so many improvements will be effected the

Brethren will hardly recognise their old haunts . So the enthusiasts live in hope and the li rethren of experience are glad that there is at least a clear suspension from the eternal round of " work . " Were I to chronicle the doings of Masonry in New York just now I would have to tell stories

of clambakes and picnics , fishing excursions and hunting expeditions , all mighty pleasant in themselves , but of little interest to anyone except to those immediately concerned . Sometimes these things are described as Lodge outings , and I often wonder what some of the " fathers" of Masonry

would have thought had they contemplated the possibility of much that is now being done under the aegis of the Craft . I wonder what good James Anderson would have thought of a Masonic clambake , or what sort of remarks the worthy Dr . Oliver might have indulged in had he been privileged to

attend a Lodge reception ! Possibly Laurence Dermott might have enjoyed them all , for he was rather a jovial sort o £ personage and one who would have endorsed any number

of beefsteak dinners and : . clambakes , and all the honest pleasures of life . As we in this State are Masonicaily descended from him , perhaps that is why our tastes run so much to- receptions and outings and fun .

There being nothing to talk about concerning the passing day , I may be allowed to go back in this letter to the days that have been , and consider one or two facts in our early history not generally known . So with the historian ' s privilege I hie me back to 1753 , when George Harison came to New

York with credentials as its Provincial Grand Master from the Grand Lodge ( Modern ) of England . He is generally regarded as the first of our really active Masonic leaders . He chartered at least a dozen Lodges , some of which yet

survive , and under him the Craft began to assert itself m many ways and even to become popular enough to attract attention in the public prints . Hugh Gaine , the Grand Secretary , was himself a printer , and published " The New
