Altogether , not less than three hundred members of the Order were present . The'installation of the late lamented Earl of Durham having taken place about fifteen years ago , many of the Brethren in attendance at Sunderland , on this day , had never witnessed anything of the kind , while those who had been present at the induction of the deceased lord to his office , retained a vivid remembrance of the scene . There was , therefore , an eager anxiety , in all the Brethren , to behold the installation of his lordship ' s successor , Sir Hedworth AVilliamson ; and no one could possibly go away disappointed ; for never , perhaps , was the
ceremony more ably or impressively conducted than by the Earl of Zetland . His lordship went through his task in a most admirable style , performing it with the strictest care , ancl evincing ' a perfect knowledge of his duties . His graceful manner , and his thorough mastery of the details of the ceremony , excited the highest admiration in the breast of every Brother . The installation being concluded , Sir Hedworth afterwards appointed his Provincial Grand Officers for the ensuing year , viz .: Sir Cuthbert Sharp , D . P . G . M . ; Matthew ThompsonS . G .
