Thomas With
each other for the hbnor, the delega-
tes from both cities urging their
claims so strongly that the last
ballot was needed to decide, Tor-
onto winning out by the slimest of
margins,
The conventio,n rejected by an Over-
whelming vote the proposal that here-
after Hamilton,'Lond'on, Toronto and
Ottawa be given the grand lodge al-
ternately; Judge MacWatt, of Sarnia.
who fathered the motion, explained
his abject was to keep the gathering
in cities where adequate hotel accom-
odation could be had, but there was
a'storm of protest at this point, dele-
gates declaring their hosts in Wind-
sor had furnished More entertainment
than the brethren had experienced in
litany years.
'Shortly before final adjournment
was taken, a, suggestion from Colonel
Poston, of Belleville; that a cable-
gram of felicitation be sent to His
Majesty King George, was adopted.
The election of officers centered
largely on the board of general
purposes, where there were nearly
30 candidates for the five vacancies.
The following is the result of the
nominations, with the names of
those elected.:
G. Sr. Warden—F. M, Allworth,

onto.
