Representing, as it did, every phase of Masonic netivity, the intense gathering reflected the deep interest, the occasion aroused among those belonging to the Order throughout the country, Since 1790 members of the Royal family have honoured the Craft by occupying the Grand Master's clinir. The late King, Edward, when Prince of Wales, fulfilled thut high position from 1874 to 1901, and ever since the Duke of Connaught been the distinguished Raler,
