The International Masonic Gathering.

Freemason has sought to limit the area and elevate the tone of Masonic discussion , and while it manfully supports authority , to be alike independent and unpartizan , encouraging discussion , within proper limits , ancl upholding the rights and privileges of Ereemasons of all ranks and classes amongst us . Hence its legitimate authority , its large circulation , and its increasing popularity . The International gathering was , to its proprietor , alike an agreeable interchange of personal courtesies with his amiable ancl

distinguished party of American brethren , ancl it was a reminder of gallant efforts ancl high prestige as a Masonic journal fairly won , while at the same time it was a flattering and he ventured to believe a most truthful omen of future ancl still greater success . And one great good result will have been achieved , if , answering his earliest anxieties , the Freemason aids to promote lasting peace and heartfelt goodwill between those two great countries , Great Britain and the United States of America .

The dinner took place on 31 st July , in the large hall of Ereemason ' s Tavern , at eight o ' clock in the evening , before which time the company were received by Bro . Kenning , Bro . A . F . A .
