A Grand Time

The public installation of the newly elected offlcers of Fraternity and Golden Bule Lodges, F. & A. M., oecurred last evening at Masonic Temple. The hall was well filled with masons and their friends, there being some three or four hundred people present to witness the services. The program was earried out as published, and everything went smoothly, without a hitch. The installation address by Rev. 51. M. Goodwin, of Ypsilanti, was a markably fine effort, and very much enjoyed by those hearing it. The müsic by the Minnia Society Orchestra was of such a superior order tliat it was greatly praised. What was asreeably surprising was the fact that every offlcer, both elective and appointívb, was on hand to be nstalled, and there were no proxies needed. In the east there were numerous palma and potted plante, and the scène was a pleasant oue in every way. Alter the services some of the younger people adjourned to the drill room, and joined in the merry mazes of the waltz for a time. ïhere were no refreshments except a big punch bowl of lomonade that was well pa'tronized. The lodges never had a more pleasant occasion of tlie kind tiian this one, and it will long be remembered as a bright evening in their history.
