On Thursday last, at a grand lodge of the ancient and
worshipful fraternity of free and accepted Masons, a
commission from the honourable John Proby, baron of
Caryafort, in the Kingdom of Ireland, grand master of
England, appointing George Harrison, Esq; to be provincial
grand master. . .In the evening, by the particular request
of the brethren, a comedy called, The Conscious Lovers, was
presented at the theatre in Nassau-Street, to a very crouded
audience.  Several pieces of vocal musick, in praise of the
fraternity were performed, between the acts.  An epilogue,
suitable to the occasion, was pronounced by Mrs. Hallam,
with all the graces of gesture, and propriety of elocution;
and met with a universal and loud applause.
