on a gn , ( and Mason ' s daughter ) , supported on the right by the Duke of Wellington , and on the left by the Earl of Durham , Pro-Grand Master . The three portraits formed a triangle , her Majesty being at the top , and encircled with a wreath of laurel , surmounted by a beautiful crown , formed of rare exotics , intermingled with roses , presenting to the beholder a bouquet that even royalty would not have deigned but to admire . A still larger triangle was again formed of evergreens , nearly ten feet le enclosed and old of the le

Over all , appeared the Eye of Providence , shedding a sacred halo over her Majesty and her illustrious supporters , —the whole being well calculated to produce a striking effect , both on the Brethren , and the visitors who were admitted to view it . The dinner was served up in a most creditable manner , doing ample justice to the old fare of roast beef and plum pudding ; the wines were of the the
excellent , which gave to the toasts Queen , Queen Dowager , and Royal Family , aud that of our illustrious Grand Master , feelings well understood by the Craft;—in fact , it was a feast of " mental and corporal refreshment , " calculated to " knit again the com into one common sheaf , " and to impress on all the example of our illustrious Brother and Grand Master , who , though the son of a king , the brother of two kings , and the uncle of proud England ' s youthful Queen , is never ashamed to hear himself named as a Free and Accepted Mason .
