The Grand Master then proved the just posi-
tion and form of the Stone by the Plumb, Level,
and Square, which were successively delivered to

particulars, H. R. H. gave the Stone three knocks
with the Mall, which was delivered by his Grace

The Cornucopia, containing the Corn, and the
Ewers, with the Wine and Oil, were then handed
to H. R. H. who strewed the Corn and poured the
Wine and Oil over the Stone, with the accustomed
Ceremonies.

The Grand Master, having inspected the Plan of
the intended Building, delivered the same to the
Architect, together with the several Tools used in
proving the position of the Stone, and desired him to

proceed, without loss of time, to the completion °f
the work in conformity with the Plan.
The Band then performed the National Antbe°l
of " God save the King."
This Ceremony being concluded, the Brethres
returned to Copenhagen-house.
