Rev, hr Walker, Of saudusky, now pronounced
the benediction, after which the line of march
was taken up for Gibraltar to witness the laying Of
the corner stone
But how to get to Gibraltar Island was a serious
question, for no arrangements were made except
for the passage Of the Committee aud officials -
However each looked out for number one, and II
could be said Of those who did get across as Paul
said in landing at Malta after his ship-wreck,--
"And as IL came to pass that some on boards
and some on pieces Of the ship, that all got safely
to aud,"
The site OF the monument is upon the summit Of
Gibraltar Island, some forty feet above the water
The proposed height Of the shaft is one hundred
and sixty feet, that the statue upon top will be
two hundred feet above the Lake On arriving at
the spot where the stone lay, it was found by the
workmen that the copper box which was to hold the
documents, which were to be placed in the stone
was too large for the hole made 10 receive it,
Both had been calculated 0 by 10 inches but did
not fit. However, after half an hours labor they
were prepared for each other The Committee
and the dignilaries OF the Masonic Order then
advanced and surrounded the stone. The Master
Workman tried the stone aud pronounced it "tried
true aud trusty."
After prayer by the Grand Chaplain, the stone
was laid in due and ancient form by the Grand
Master Horace NJ. Stokes surrounded by the CHIEF
officers Of the Grand Lodge of Ohio, with their
rich rcgalias.
During the ceremonies the following sung
written by ossian E. Dodge was sung by him in
| company with the MasOns Of Cleveland
wE'Lt CONQUER or DIE.

passengers on the North Star from Cleveland wer
given to understand In the morning that she wOull
not leave the ISL aud until dark and by wha
strange logic the Officers would have that under
