London, March 20. Yesterday about an hour before the Free
Masons procession began, a sham cavalcade came from Brick
Street Hyde-Park Corner, down St. James's Street, to Charing
Cross. First rode on asses two men, with ox horns, which
they sounded; then a man on an ass, with two tubs, bottom
upward, to represent kettle drums; then two persons on
asses, with salt boxes; a man with a trunchen in his hand,
like wise on an ass; two sand-carts, drawn by six asses
each, and three persons in each, with the ensigns of the
Free Masons; and the procession was closed by an old
mourning coach and six horses, all of different colours, and
two persons rode in it, to represent the Grand Masters.
