At Sis the guests sat down to the table.

tended to, the committee of arrangements
had been strengthened by the addition Of
| Capt. Richards, DR.. r. l.. G. White, Capt.
Matt Pitcher, Capt. West, Capt. Atwell
and r. A. COldwell.
| After a blessing had been asked by the
Grand Chaplain, NJ. B. Dewitt, the tempt
| ing viands were attacked with degree Of
vigor and enthusiasm worthy Of the high
| est praise. The walters moved rapidly
about. under direction Of the committee Of
| arrangements. For the next half hour, the
| cheerful rattle of knives and forks gave ev-
| idence that the guests were making them
/ selves thoroughly at home, while the pop
II
ular 10Th Infantry Band, stationed in the
hall outside discOursed sweet music.
After doing full justicet to the substantial,
the company attended to the intellectual
part of the entertainment, Wilbur f. FOs-
ter, G.. II. p, acting as Toast Master, CALI
inc the company TO order. Companion
Foster, in behalf OF the Royal Arch Chap
| ter of Tennessee and the Masonic Frater-
nifty of this vicinity, babe the General
| Grand Charter welcome to this jurisdiction.
| He felt that this brotherhood, whose high
| aim Il is to promote the welfare of the hui
man race, and inculcate feelings of broth
eriv lore and good viii, regardless Of bOun-
| dary lines. had no superior in any class or
| calling, save that which is devoted TO the
worship of the only living and true God.
He offered the following as
THE TOAsTs.
| l. 1.-The General GrandC Chapter of Royal
/ Arch MasOns."
Response by General Grand High Priest
| DrummOnd, who was greeted with loud
cheers. Upon rising, he said he had Occu-
pied so much time with speaking during
| the day, that he could not think of occupy
| ing the time now. He desired, however,
to return, on behalf of the General Grand
| Chapter his most sincere thanks for the
generous welcome extended them. 81
?. The Order Of Christian Knight
hood"
Response by Comp. Fellows, of New
Hampshire, who, after expressing the
| thanks of the Grand Chapter of his own
State, for the kindness extended them BY
the members of the Order i'll Nash
vile, said that the days of Knight
hood had not departed. as was some
times said, but that more noble and earnest
battles were now being fought against
| wrong, oppression, vice and corruption, than
those of the older days. He hoped the time
might come when he and bis brother Masons
of New Hampshire would have an oppor-
tunity of reciprOcating, in their own state,
the courtesies and kindness shown them
since reaching Nashville.
| 8. ssThe Past Grand officers of the Cen
eral Grand Chapter"
Response by Companion Austin, Of New
York, who said that the Past Grand Off
| GERS of the General Grand Chapter of the
| United States could be numbered on the
ten fingers. They consisted of Kirby,
Earl, Clinton, Livingston, Dean, Gilmore,
| Dunlap, Macksy, Lewis and himself, OF
/ which number OILY the three last named
were living; tie others have all gone to
| their reward. At the commencement of
| the late war. it was said that DR.. Austin
would be the last General Grand High
Priest-that the order would soon cease TO
| exist. He would say tonight, as he had
said then, that the General Grand Chapter
| is about the livelieSt corpse he had ever
seen. Laughter
4. ssThR place where last we met; the place
of happy memories-.Ma My Mary
land"
Response by Comp. James W. Bowers,
who said:
As the presiding officer of the Grand
Chapter of Mary land it becomes my duty to
reply to the sentiment just uttered, and in
behalf of Maryland, L, as her representa-
tive, return YOU nv sincere thanks for the
honor done my native State. Whenever her
name is mentioned, every true son of Mary
land feels his heart swell with pride at the
recollectiOns of her past history. From the
earliest history Of our common country,
MARYLAND has taken an active and infiuen-
tial part in shaping that histOTy-the first
to lead in the path of religious liberty and
toleratiOn-one of the great principles OF
our time-hOnOTed Institution; among the
first and most earnest in resisting the ty-
rannical exactiOns of the mother country,
and taking decided action in the separa-
ton which did take place. All through the
contest which followed, the name of Mary
land was among the best known Of the col
onies, and her devotion to free institutions
has continued to the present date. In
Masonry she was among the earliest adyo-
Gates of its principles; she formed her
Grand Lodge in 1877, her Grand Chapter
in 1877, and during the dark days
of anti Masonry, she still retained
her organization, and held true TO :he faith OF
the Father. Although among the smallest
of the old jurisdiction, she has been devoted
10 the interests of the Royal Chapter, which
is now more harmonious and active than
ever before in her history. We come TO
YOU i'm the twenty-secOnd triennial eonTo-
cation of the g.. q. c., feeling that we can
compare fsvorably with larger and richer
jurisdictions. Since | have been in this
beautiful city the name of Maryland has
been mentioned in such favorable language
that Il has caused my heart TO swell with
ioy al the praises bestowed upon our State.

ceived us 50 kindly, TO the Comps. OF our
