The in- stallation was held early in the even- ing at the Masonic Temple. Over 300 Masons took part in the ceremonies at both places. The banquet was a handsome affair. The new dining hall of the Bucking- ham was used for the first time on this occasion. The long tables were decked with great baskets filled with big bunches of crimson holly berries. g as toastmaster, set the keynote evening in his opening remarks. of He said the banquet was only intend- ed for the promotion of good fellow- ship and for a sort of heart to heart talk. He added further that go such as aristocracy existed In Ma- Every Mason was upon the 18, whether he be the poor millionaire. Jona McNaught was the speaker of | the evening. As he arose he was hailed with enthusiastic cheering. He chose man or for his subject, “What I Don’t Know About Masonry.” © The speaker evi- dently did, however, know a great deal about Ma v. His remarks, while humoro were most pertinent to.the he said, represented broth- erly love and fidelity. A grand element | cf faith was one of the great charac- teristics of this magnificent order. It was known throughout the wide world. So long as Masonry existed justice would never be without a champion, charity would never be without a gen- erous hand and the cayse of human brotherhood would never lack a friend. These remarks brought out tremen- dous applause and every man in the big company rose to his feet, cheering the speaker and his eloquent remarks. Speeches were also made by E. C. Landis, the retiring master, and James | A. Snook, the past master. There were | songs by Professor Wanrell and L. A. Steiger.

The main roint at issue is that the witnesses to the will did not know the contents of the document when they signed it, notwithstanding the fact that the Cali- fornia law specifically provides that the witnesses must be advised by the| testator that the document i§ his last will. 1n the hearing of the contest at Victoria the witnesses testified that they did not know the nature of the document.
