ON Friday evening of last week a special meeting of the Grand Lodge of Mark Master Masons was held at the Mark Hall , Great Queen Street , London , under the presidency of the Earl of Euston Pro Grand Mark Master , who was well supported by Grand Officers and other Brethren . The meeting was of brief duration , the address of
congratulation to the Prince ot Wales Grand Master on his providential escape from the attack of an assassin , proposed by the Pro G . M ., and seconded by Bro . Frank Bicnardson G . Begistrar , being
unanimously and most enthusiastically agreed to . It was decided that the address , in the following terms , should be drawn up on vellum by the Grand Secretary , and forwarded to the Prince of Wales :
" That we , the Pro Grand Master , Grand Officers , and Brethren of the Mark Degree , in open Lodge assembled , do record on our minutes the horror and indignation of all Mark Master Masons under Grand Lodge at the atrocious attempt on
the life of our Most Worshipful Grand Master His Boyal Highness the Prince of Wales , and our sense of deep and lasting gratitude to the Great Overseer of the Universe for His Boyal Highness ' s happy escape under His Divine Providence . "
Compliment To Brother James Weaver.
COMPLIMENT TO BROTHER JAMES WEAVER .
A COMPLIMENTARY dinner to Bro . James Weaver on his appointment X 3 L as Grand Standard Bearer of the Craft , and First Assistant Grand Director of Ceremonies in Grand Chapter , was held at Anderton's Hotel , Meet Street , on Sunday evening , 22 nd ult . Amongst those present were Brothers James Irvine ( in the chair ) , James Weaver , W . M . Stiles P . G . Treasurer , W . Shurmur P . G . Standard Bearer , and others .
After the Loyal toast the Chairman submitted " Our worthy and esteemed Bro . James Weaver . " He stated they had assembled together in accordance with the wishes of the Brethren to tender to their worthy colleague , Bro . James Weaver , their congratulations on the great honour that had been conferred upon him by the Prince of Wales . When it became known that their worthy Brother had been nominated Grand Standard Bearer of the Grand Lodge of England for the ensuing year , the Worshipful Blaster , Past
Masters , and Wardens of the Whittington Lodge , No . 862 , took council together , and it was unanimously determined to present the Grand Lodge clothing and jewels of his Office to Bro . James Weaver , and an opportunity was given to all the members of the Whittington Lodge to show their esteem by subscribing to the presentation . Bro . Weaver had been for a quarter of a century the honoured Secretary of that Lodge , of which he had been a member for 37 years . After the resolution of the Whittington Committee , it
was intimated that the Lodge of Asaph—of which he , was a founder—had determined to honour Bro . Weaver , and the clothing and jewels had been provided by the two Lodges and their Chapters . The speaker referred to the great and valuable services Bro . James Weaver had rendered to the Lodges represented , and to the Craft generally , and said they were delighted to find that Grand Lodge honours had been conferred upon one who was so highly deserving of them . The presentation was then made amidst great enthusiasm .
Bro . James Weaver received an ovation on rising to respond . He said the honour conferred upon him by the Prince of Wales as G . M . was at the present time quite unexpected . If it had come twenty or more years ago , when he was subscribing to about fifteen Lodges and Chapters , and working for Masonry in every way , the honour would not have been so unlooked for probably . Of late years , however , he had been compelled to relinquish many of those Offices . The presentation that evening was a gratifying proof of the esteem and regard in which he was held .
The next toasts were the Worshipful Masters of the Whittington Lodge and Lodge of Asaph , responded to by W . M . Claikson and W . M . Powell , and the Principals of the Whittington and Asaph Chapters . The Chairman was proposed by Bro . Thomas J . Hester S . W . Whittington Lodge , who feelingly alluded to Bro . James Irvine as one of the Past Masters of the Whittington Lodge whom they delighted to honour , and one on whom he hoped Grand Lodge honours would ultimately fall .
The Visitors was proposed by W . M . Clarkson , and responded to by Bros . Stiles , Shurmur , and Oscar Barrett . The Committee was responded to by Bro . George Wave ] , who assured the Brethren that the Committee had the greatest pleasure in working in so good a cause . Ho hoped that when the time came for wo'k in the cause of Bro , James Irvine South London would be to the front right loyally .
