that was impressive, although the cor nerstone laying was hidden from the sight of the general audience by the body of Masons who stood on the huge mound of earth a. the northeastern end of the new structure, high above the site of the stone. The officers of the most worshipful grand lodge of Masons had their stations about the stone, while the state officers and legislative members had good points of vantage on the temporary floor of the building at the end. United States Senator Bulkeley, who came on from Washing ton to attend the exercises as chairman of the commission, served as grand ar chitect during the exercises, he being a Master Mason of St. Johns lodge, No. 4.
 The Masonic Bodies.
 The Masonic bodies marched to the capitol from the temple. The grand lodge was accompanied r. the officers of the blue lodges of the jurisdiction, all under escort of Washington com- nandery Upon arrival at the site the Templars were drawn up in line while the grand lodge and the three blue lodges passed in review and then fol- lowed the state delegation. The stone exercises then followed.
 The state delegation then returned to the capitol lawn and listened to the .oration by Judge Baldwin.
 Box Placed in Cornerstone.
 The box placed in the cornerstone contained large number of articles selected by State Librarian Goddard and the commission each having some significance bearing upon the state. The Masonic memorials were such as are usually included in ceremony of this kind.
