The Cincinnati Commercial, Of SUnda,
saws of the banquet given to Hon. JOsia
Il. Drummond, in that city, the night pr
viouS:
q t.One of the greatest eventsin the Naso !
history of Cincinnati occurred last eyeniI
in the reception, at 8 O'Clock, at the Nj
sonic Temple, Of Hon. Josiah III. Drum
d mond, Grand High Priest of the Gener
Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons
the United States, and Most Pui
SAINT Grand Commander Of the Supren
: Council of the Thity-third Degree, SEQ
? fish Rite, for the Northern Jurisdiction
y America. Mr.. Drummond is a native an
resident of Portland, Maine, and in his
fetal capacity is en route to tie meeting
, the Grand Chapter of the United State
Z which takes place at Nashville, Tenn
= next Tuesday. The fraternity of this ci
= knowing that he would pass through, toe
, advantage of the occasion, and resolved
tender him reception. Mr.. Drummer
: being a representative of both branches
, the Order in the United States-the Iol
= and Ancient Scottish Rites-gaye the 7
ception a double significance, whit
u to the fraternity here was of mar
u ed interest. 1t might be proper to state
u this connection that there has never be
u any conflict between the two branches
.. Masonry, but, on the other hand, if al
. preiudice existed at all. it was for want
= information. Both have inculcated Il
y same principles, and both laid their foul
= dations on the same cornerstone. La
&c night all Joined in one common brOthe
= hood, and if the prejudice before alluded
I existed IN the slightest degree, il was u
observable. All seemed anxious TO
honor to their guest, who, by proficiency
- his work and noble examples as a Maso
!. had been given preferment and exalted
a leader Of the Order in the United States
