Provincial G.L. Of Staffordshire , Installation Of A Grand Master.

PROVINCIAL G . L . OF STAFFORDSHIRE , INSTALLATION OF A GRAND MASTER .

rpHE installation of Bro . Major George Singleton Tudor as Pro--L vincial Grand Master of Staffordshire , took place at the Borough ^ ll , Stafford , on 21 st ult ., in presence of upwards of two hundred and fift y brethren , including several visitors from Grand Lodge and from ot her provinces . Since the lamented death , in May 1877 , of tho ^ arl of Shrewsbury , who had been tho ruler of the Craft in Staffordshire from 1871 to that date , tho province had been under tho

direction of Bro . Macintyre , Grand Registrar . At the first annual meeting of the P . G . Lodgo after the death of the Earl of Shrewsbury Bro . Tudor succeeded Bro . Frank James in the ollico of D . P . G . M ., a position which he ( Bro . Tudor ) had formerly occupied . Bro . Tudor is highly esteemed as a Mason , and tho announcement that hia Royal Highness the Prince of Wales as M . W . G . M . had appointed him

R . W . G . M . of Staffordshire gave universal satisfaction . To this feeling no doubt may be attributed the large attendance of brethreu ou Monday . The Earl of Lathom D . G . M . attended to perform the installation ceremony , aud amongst those who were present were Bros . Col . Shadwell H . Gierke Grand Secretary , P . Richardson S . G . D ., H . T . S . Baring J . G . D ., W . B . Hughes , M . P ., D . G . M . of North Wales

and Shropshire , Capt . Hunter P . P . G . M . Aberdeenshire , Foster Gough P . D . P . G . M ., Frank James P . D . P . G . M ., P . B . Spencer 1149 P . P . G . W . Surrey . The Provincial Grand Officers present were Bros . W . Bayliss S . W ., R . Tooth Registrar , J . Bodenham Treasurer , W . Cartwright Secretary , the Revs . E . C . Perry and J . Birch Chaplains , W . E . Parkea S . D ., G . Pitchford J . D ., K . Macrae Superintendent of Works ,

T . E . Powke A . D . C , R . Tolson P . G . P ., T . Bedsmore P . G . O ., J . Woolridge , J . B . M'Callum , J . Hayes , J . Mottram , T . Rigby , T . Wood Stewards , H . Baggnley Tyler . The Staffordshire Knott Lodge ( 26 ) was opened by Bro . Wood W . M ., at one o ' clock . Shortly after , the Earl of Lathom entered the room , received the salute , opened the P . G . Lodge , and called upon

the P . G . Secretary ( Bro . Cartwright ) to read the minntes of tho last meeting . A communication was received from Col . Vernon , formerly P . G . M ., stating that the condition of his health prevented him from attending , and Col . Gierke conveyed a message from Brother Macintyre Grand Registrar , regretting his inability to be present . The Earl of Lathom said they had met to instal a Grand Master of

the Province . They were aware that the province had been under the charge of Bro . Macintyre for some time , and knowing as he did what a good Mason Bro . Macintyre was , they must have been satisfied with the way in which he had discharged his duties . Ha had often been invited to come into Staffordshire by their late worthy P . G . M . the Earl of Shrewsbury , whose death , ho was sure , must have

been folfc as a great loss to every one of them , and although he had not visited the Provincial Grand Lodge of Staffordshire before , he had the greatest possible pleasure in attending to instal Bro . Tndor . The arrival of tho P . G . M . designate having been announced , and he having sent in his patent , he was admitted by a deputation of Masters and Piist Masters and conducted to the pedestal . The P . G . Secretary

then read the patent , and after a prayer by Bro . the Rev . E . C . Perry P . G . Chaplain , Bro . Tudor was duly installed , and invested with the apron , chain , and jewel of office , after which he was proclaimed and saluted . Bro . Tudor ou taking the chair said , the honour which tho Prince of Wales as Grand Master had conferred upon him had taken him bv surprise , but he esteemed the appointment a very high

hononr , and ho also felt it a great compliment for the Earl of Lathom to have attended and installed him . He hoped that the Earl would never have cause to regret the part which he had taken in the proceedings of that day , and that he ( Bro . Tudor ) would be able to satisfy the Masons of Staffordshire , whose renewed proof of kindness that day would be an incentive to him to continue to try to do his

duty . Bro . Foster Gough , who formerly held the office of D . P . G . Master , was again appointed to that office , and as such was saluted by the brethren . The following brethren were appointed to Provincial Grand offices : —Bros . W . J . Gothard 624 Burton S . W ., T . Bickley H 8 Hanley J . W ., the Ven . Archdeacon lies Wolverhampton , Chaplain , the Rev . J . Burch , Wednesfield , Chaplain , T . Wood 726

Standard Bearer . Bro . J . Bodenham 726 Stafford , was re-appointed , by the unanimous votes of the brethren , to the office of Treasurer , and H . Baggnley was , with equal unanimity , re-appointed Tyler . A Committee was appointed to go through the bye-laws of the P . G . Lodge . Bro . F . James P . D . P . G . M ., said they had met to witness the

performance of a duty to which they had long looked forward , and he had great pleasure in proposing a vote of thanks to the D . G . M . of England for having come amongst them to instal the Prov . Grand Master of Staffordshire . Everyone acquainted with Masonic literature was well aware how well the Earl of Lathom performed the duties entrusted to him . His zeal never flagged , and while proposing
