GRAND MASTER WELCOMED
Temple Lodge Members Feast And
Make Merry At Banquet.
COPIES THIS IesUE

The Grand Master of the Grand
Lodge Of Delaware Masonic fraternity
visited Milford officially last Friday
night, accompanied by his entire staff.
1t was a splendid reception at both the
Temple and also at the banquet hall
of the newly remOdeled Windsor
Hotel, and it will be long remembered
for its fine spirit of fellowship and the
fine addresses of those who spoke at
both occasions.
The lodge room was crowded to its
capacity with members of Temple
Lodge and the work proceeding the re-
ception of the Grand Master and staff
received the closest attention. About
120 masons were present and received
Grand Master Edwin COOch with the
Grand HOnors of the order. The ad-
dress of the Grand Master was of
twenty minutes duration and was of
more than ordinary interest to his
hearers.
But the most striking part of the
evenings program was the banquet,
for the musical program as arranged
by DR.. J. G. Sharp encOmpassed most
o fthe popular songs as well as the
songs of sentiment, which have held
popular favor for so many years.
Everybody joined in the singing. 1t
was particularly pleasant feature of
the evening.
Rev. H. L. Bunstein was toastmas-
ter and was at his best in introducing
the speakers who generally spoke
briefly. The speaker of the evening
was Bishop Cook, who held for
twenty minutes or more, his audience
in closest attention. His Introductory
remarks were of humorous character,
but the main thought was on Ideal
ISM" a subject which he presented in
a manner impressive and convincing.
The banquet was served by the
management of the New Windsor
Hotel in the handsome diningrOOm,
and it was not only well served, but it
was served promptly and with entire
satisfaction to all.
