Masonic brother , but of every one associated with our Kingdom and our Craft . In Masonry the desire of men is to do all that is possible to create brotherly Jove and
promote charity , and we all know—we know well—how our efforts are aided by the support our Grand Body has always received from H . R . H . the Grand Master . I beg , therefore , to nominate H . R . H . the Prince of Wales as Grand ' Master
for the coming year . Bro . John Glass P . M . No . 453 Past Provincial Grand Supt . of Works Essex : M . W . G . M ., —In order that Grand Lodge may discharge its obligation to elect a Treasurer for the ensuing year , I beg leave to nominate for that office
Bro . George Everett , of the Domatic Lodge , No . 177 . Bro . George Everett was initiated into EYeemasonry on the 19 fch August 1858 . He is a Past Master and the Treasurer of the Domatic Lodge , No . 177 , and Pounder P . M . and Treasurer of the Kenningfcon Lodge , No . 1381 , a P . M . of
the Kilburn Lodge , No . 1608 , and was for seven years its Treasurer , Pounder and P . M . of the Chiswick Lodge , No . 2212 , Pounder and I . P . M . of the Duke of Fife Lodge , No . 2345 . He is also a P . Z . of the Domatic Chapter , P . Z . of the Rose of Denmark Chapter , and a P . Z ., Founder ,
and Treasurer of the Kennington Chapter , No . 1381 , and is a subscribing member to them all . Bro . Everett was a special Steward at the Installation of the M . W . G . M . at the Royal Albert Hall , in April 1875 . I venture to say , M . W . Grand Master , that this is a record which merits the
favourable consideration of Grand Lodge in dealing with the election of Grand Treasurer . It will be observed that in consequence of Bro . Everett restricting his membership to Metropolitan Lodges , he has been excluded from obtainng Provincial Grand honours . Bro . Everett ' s work in
connection wtth Freemasonry has extended over thirty year ? . He has been foremost in promoting the practical benefits and extending the active charity of our Order . He has served a number of Stewardships at the Festivals of the three Institutions , of each of which he is a
Vice-President . He has promoted several Charity Associations , which have furnished considerable sums of money to tho Institutions . I can personally testify to Bro . Everett ' s good work as a member of the Provisional Management Committee of the Boys' School . He has proved himself a
painstaking and able administrator of the affairs of that Institution , and in matters connected with the amusements and out-door games of the School he has taken a keen interest , and contributed valuable advice and liberal donations . This has tended to promote health and
happiness among the boys . I will not delay Grand Lodge by dwelling , upon the qualifications that , in my opinion , preeminently fit Bro . Everett for the post of Grand Treasurer . At the same time I hold strong convictions that in this appointment Grand Lodge is bound to examine very closely
the claims and antecedents of every candidate . Bro . Everett ' s labours have been continnous , and his work has proved enduring . He may be described as a serious Freemason , and , unlike some meteors , who occasionally illuminate the pathway of Freemasonry and suddenly
depart to electrify other spheres with their brilliancy and wonderful vanishing power . I hope I may be forgiven if I for one moment allude to the magnificent Committee who have undertaken to support and , if necesssary , to do their utmost to ensure the election of Bro . Everett . This signed
list of over 1700 members of Grand Lodge include brethren of all ranks in London and the Provinces , from Provincial Grand Master down to worthy Junior Wardens , who tonight for the first time have the privilege of attending Grand Lodge . In conclusion , I earnestly assure , with
profound respect , those brethren who enjoy the honour of sitting around your throne , M . W . G . M ., that in Bro . Everett thoy will find an honourable colleague ready and willing to discharge his duty . I can confidently venture to say ^ to the brethren below the dais that they can trust

Bro . Everett to safeguard their privdeges , and never to be ungrateful for the confidence they place in him by electing him to the office of Grand Treasurer for the ensuing
The Earl of Lathom inquired if there was any other nomination , but no response was made . Bro . Robert Grey , President of the Board of Benevolence , having been re-appointed by the M . W . G . M ., the Earl of Lathom re-invested and congratulated him , amidst cheers .
The Earl of Lathom next declared Bro . James Brett P . G . P . duly elected Senior Vice-President , and Bro . Chas . A . Cottebrnne Junior Vice-President of the Board of Benevolence .
The following brethren were declared duly elected Past Masters to serve on the Board of Benovolence . —Bros . W . P . Brown 90 , J Bunker 1158 , G . B . Chapman 27 , C . Dairy 141 , S . H . Goldschmidt 1329 , J . B . Grieve 1351 ,

On the motion of Bro . Robert Grey President seconded by Bro . James Brett Senior Vice-President the report of the Board of Benevolence , as given by us last week , was adopted . Bro . Thomas Hastings Miller , Vice-President of the
Board of General Purposes , brought forward the motion respecting the portrait of Bro . Thomas Fenn , President of the Board of General Purposes . He aaid he had been permitted , by the kindness of several brethren , to ask the Grand Lodge to accept the portrait of a brother who , he
venturod to say , had by his courtesy and kindness endeared himself to the heart of every Freemason in England . For a period of twenty-six years Bro . Fenn had been an honoured and respected Officer of Grand Lodge , and bo
ventured to say that during that time there was no brother in Freemasonry who had done more good service . Bro . Fenn had been first and foremost in everything in Freeraagonry , and had watched with a careful eye over tho Craft and its relations . There was a matter be should like
to lay before the meeting , which was that Bro Fenn had spread the knowledge of Freemasonry through the Lodge of Emulation . No doubt there were many members of Grand Lodge who knew that grand and glorious Lodge of Instruction—the Emulation Lodge of Improvement . Bro .
Fenn was looked up to there as a father and a great power . But coming a little nearer home , at the Board of General Purposes , to which he had been attached for years , Bro . Fenn had discharged his duties as President with courtesy , firmness , and impartiality . The portrait which they were
now asked to accept bad been painted by Bro . Marks , at the desire of several of Bro . Fenn ' s friends in the Craft , and on their behalf be begged to move that it be accepted .
He hoped that Bro . Fenn would live many years to be a guiding star in Freemasonry , and that when he might be summoned to the Grand Lodge above the verdict on him might be , " Well done , thou good and faithful servant . "
Bro . Sir Albert W . Woods ( Garter ) G . D . C ., in seconding the motion , said he had long known Bro . Fenn , especially in those ceremonials of the Order which they had both conducted for many years . The proposition before the brethren was one which was entertained heart and soul by
every member of Grand Lodge . They all wished to accept the portrait of Bro . Fenn in a truly Masonic spirit . Bro . Fenn had always acted well with him ; they had worked together without a murmur , without a question . Whatever he suggested Bro . Fenn agreed to , and whatever Bro . Fenn bad said he agreed to .
The Earl of Lathom said he had one word to add , to endorse everything that had fallen from the last two speakers . He had had the acquaintance of Bro . Fenn some twenty years or more , and he could say that a more upright
man , or a Mason better up to his work he had not met . He thought the Grand Lodge ought to accept the motion with great heartiness and pleasure . The motion was igreed to , and Grand Lodge was closed .
On the afternoon v ( tin 26 th nit ., the faneral of Bro . J . Patterson , a well-known and prominent momber of the Masonic body , took place at Jesmond Old Cemetery , and was attended by a large number of the brethren .
