Charity Institution , said it was their pleasure on that occasion to offer their congratulations to the Provincial Grand Master on his having attained to that high position , and on his being with them that day . Much as they regretted the loss of the Earl Egerton of Tatton as their Grand Master—and Lord
Egerton had piloted the Province through many difficulties and dangers ; placing it in a position very much higher than it had ever stood in before—they were very grateful his lordship had a brother , in two senses of the word , who was able to take up the work for him and for the Province , and
he had no hesitation in saying that the Province of Cheshire would still continue to go on and improve under the new Prov . G . M . equally as well as it did under his brother . He might add that the funds of the various Institutions of the Province and the work of the Province had been going on
during the year in a perfectly satisfactory manner , so far as the Committees were concerned . He , however , commended to the Lodges in the Province the special fund which had been started to meet the number of deserving cases which it was their object to relieve .
The Hon . Alan de Tatton Egerton said it was a privilege to him to be there on that first official occasion , for he was advised that , although not actually installed as Provincial Master , he was practically in possession of all the benefits of the position . It was a great pleasure to him to propose the re-election of Colonel Dean as their Chairman . There was
no one in the Province more fit in many ways than he was to take the position of Chairman of the Committee . Colonel Dean knew his work thoroughly , and had that work at heart . Brother L . Ellis seconded the motion , which was carried unanimously .
On the motion of Colonel Dean , seconded by Bro . James Cookson , Bro . Henry Jackson was appointed Vice-Chairman . The Charity Council were appointed for the various divisions . Several petitions for relief were considered and granted . Bro . Annett was re-appointed Treasurer of the Fund .
A letter was read from Lord Egerton resigning his Trusteeship of the Cheshire Masonic Benevolent Institution . General regret is expressed at this . Bros . C . S . Dean , H . J ackson , and F . Broadsmith were elected Trustees . Bro . Sim was re-appoin , ted Treasurer of the Educational Institution , and Bro . Stevenson as Hon . Secretary .
On the motion of Colonel Dean , seconded by Bro . J . F . May , it was resolved to hold a Festival next year , not only for the benefit of the Benevolent Institutions , but also to commemorate the first year of office of the Hon . Alan de Tatton Egerton as Provincial Grand Master .

The Provincial Grand Master then referred to the report of the Masonic Hall Committee , and to the fact that the freehold was now absolutely the property of the Lodge . The Hall , although suitable in a great many respects , stood in need of some extension and alteration . He believed its
utility might be greatly increased by some structural alteration , not of a very expensive character , and it was desirable that an expression should be given by the Lodge , and that as the present appeared to be a suitable time the Masonic Hall Committee should be requested to take the matter into
their consideration and report to the Prov . G . Lodge . His Grace added that on returning to the chair after some years absence he was happy to find , as he had always found , that Masonry was flourishing , and prospering to a very great
extent in the Province . He attributed that in a high degree to the exertions and ability of the Deputy Provincial Grand Master , and to the able assistance he had received from the Provincial Officers .
The Lodge was then closed with the usual formalities , and many of the Brethren subsequently attended a banquet in the lower Hall . The Duke of Devonshire , responding to the toast of his health , recalled the fact that his Grand Mastership extended
over practically the whole of his public career , he having been appointed forty-one years ago , two years after he became a Member of the House of Commons . He could only
hope that he had displayed greater diligence and efficiency in the discharge of his public duties than he was conscious of having applied to Freemasonry . He saw from the report of the proceedings a year ago that Bro . Okeover referred to .
