The apartment was arranged in the cnstomary form for Masonic ceremonials .

His Lordship concluded by proposing " The Health of Major Adair ,

the Provincial Grand Master of Somersetshire . " Bro . Major Adair responded to the toast , observing that the closer Somersetshire and Bristol were united in the bonds of fraternal fellowship , the greater would be the advantage to the brethren of both provinces ' . A ' arious other toasts followed , and altogether the days proceedings passed off most satisfactorily , although we regret to learn that a considerable number of brethren

from the Silurian and Isca Lodges at Newport , and the lodges at Cardiff who attended the installation of the Prov . G .
