Son of George McDonald, Goulburn Station, Crookwell, New South Wales
Oddfellow's Ambition Realised.
Bro. G. G. MCDONALD (Taworth).
ELECTED M.U. GRANDMASTER.

George Gladstone McDonald, whose installation took place at Sydney last week. In that period Bro. McDonald has never been out of office, and when last year he was elected Deputy-Grandmaster of the Order it was but a step from the goal he had in mind when he was initiated at Tamworth in 1907.
