his Palace at Potsdam . The deputation also had the honour of being entertained at dinner at the Embassy by the Right Hon . Sir Frank Lascelles , the British Ambassador . The proceedings connected with the Masonic function commenced at one o ' clock p . m . on Sunday , the i 8 th , and
appear to have been of a most impressive character , the musical portion of the ceremony being rendered with great artistic beauty . The new building , which was solemnly consecrated , is one of very considerable architectural merit , containing
suites of handsome rooms adapted for the various Masonic ceremonies . In addition to the deputation from England , deputations attended from Sweden and other Grand Lodges . One peculiar feature of the ceremony was that uniforms were
