ancient fraternity. The President.
elect has been rendered the honor OF
being made Mason at sight, and the
ceremony of initiation has been set
for tomorrow. Many prominent mem
bers of the order are here to complete
the final plans for the ceremony.
This honor is so rarely conferred
that there is but single instance of

history of Masonry in Ohio, when in
1892 Asa A. Bushnell, of Springfield,
was made a Mason at sight.
Before his nomination Mr.. Taft had
expressed desire to become a Mason.

prevented him from complying with
the usual requirments for the initia-
ton and installation of candidates.
Invitations to the ceremonies have
been sent to the grand masters of all
the other States in the Union.
