Boston, June o.
Early this morning the streets we're
crowded with citizens and strangers from
the surrounding country. 1t was with tho
greatest difficulty that many of the rail-
roads could afford sufficient aecoihmoda-
tious. The city was deeked with faga
along the route Of procession Every Tiu'
top from which the display could be seen,
were occupied AT an early hour the
schools, state and municipal buildings, and
| all places of trade and labor, were closed,
the people uniting in the general holiday. -
| The Grand Lodge of Massachusetts assem-
bled at their present apartments on Sumner
S street, where the procession was formed,
aud under the escort OF the Boston en-
campment of knights Templar, proceeded
to the new temple, beautiful and impos-
ing edi6ce, seven stories in height, with an
octagon tower in the south corner rising l2l
feet, and small and less lofty tower at the
north corner.
The dedicatory ceremonies commenced at
nine clock, and in these nons but Masons
participated. The President, Postmaster

being members of the fraternity. After
the ceremonies was over the President cx,
pressed the sincere and profound gratitude
he experienced at being present with the
Grand Lodge on this most interesting occa-
sion.

marks the session of the Grand Lodge was
terminated. By the time the private cere-
monies at the hall were included, the Ma.

were ready to moye in procession They
Joined those who wasl engaged in theTem-
pie exercises, and now, In unbroken line,
they proceeded through number Of the
principal streets and squares. The proces-

the state, there were encampmenta IRON

Washington took the first oath Of Office as
President of the United States. Lodges
from Illinois, New York, Washington and
other cities, with strong representation

thc British Province, were present. 1t Is
thought that upwards of ten thousand Ma.
sons were in the procession Many of tho
decorations along the route were of a got
geous character. The President stool
much of the time, hat in hand, in acknowl-
edgment Of compliments paid. Bouquets
were occasionally thrown into the carriage.
There was much enthusiasm everywhere,
and the only allusion TO politics was the ex-
clamation: ''No impeachment. Many
mothers presented their children to the no,
tice of the President, who gave q kind
word aud more than once a Kiss to little
ones. Bostonians say that never before
was there time when politics were 80 sue
ccssfully excluded from public demonstrar

are glad to have the President among then

for him as chief Magistrate as bis fellow-eiti
