CONSEOKATION . — : o : —
A SPECIAL meeting of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Cumberland and Westmorland was held on Friday of last week , at the Masonic Hall , Fisher Street , Carlisle , when the Alston Lodge , No . 2 794 , was consecrated .
The ceremony was performed by the Provincial Grand Master Lord Henry Cavendish-Bentinck , M . P ., and at the conclusion of the ceremonies a banquet was partaken of and the usual toast list honoured , under the presidency of the Provincial Grand Master .
Exonians continue to have the honour of monopolising the chair of the Gallery Lodge , No . 1928 . On the 3 rd inst ., Bro . F . W . Brodie , of Exeter , W . M . retired , and had the privilege of installing as his successor Bro . L . F . Gowing , also of Exeter . Bro . Brodie twenty-two years ago was initiated
in Semper Fidehs Lodge , Exeter , by his father , who was a Provincial Grand Officer and W . M . of the Lodge . Brother Brodie is a Founder of the new Devonian Lodge in London , and has been offered by Lord Halsbury the collar of Director of Ceremonies . Bro . JL . F . Gowing , who succeeds him in the
chair , was at Hele s School , Exeter , with Bro . Brodie , and one of the guests on Saturday was another schoolfellow , Bro . W . H . Lascelles , of Exeter , W . M . of the Addiscom . be Lodge , No . 1558 , Croydon , and of No . jp , the oldest Lodge in Devon , All three , are members of the Hele ' s School Old Boys' Society
of which Bro . Brodie is Founder , Secretary , and Treasurer . Singularly enough , Bro . Brodie ' s predecessor as W . M . ( Bro . Peachey ) was also at Exeter , and his father , as well as the fathers of Bros . Brodie and Gowing will be remembered as
old Exeter journalists . Bro . Gowing , the new W . M ., is a member of the staff of the " Daily Graphic , " spent several years in China , returning home through Siberia in the winter , and is author of " Five Thousand Miles in a Sledge . "
• • • We are pleased to hear a very , successful start has been made with a fourth Benevolent Association in connection with the Upton Lodge of Instruction , No . 1227 . The inaugural meeting was held on Monday , when thirty shares
of ten guineas each were taken up . Bro . \ V . J . Carroll , the present Master of the Mother Lodge , is the Hon . Treasurer of the Association , and it is his wish to have at least fifty shares subscribed at the start . We expect before these lines appear in print he and the Brethren who are working with
him will have succeeded in enlisting the further support wished for , and as a consequence they will look forward to being able to send at least five hundred guineas to the Institutions during the time their Association will take to work itself out . A most laudable ambition , and one we hope will be achieved to the fullest extent !
* • It is seldom we are able to report any Masonic proceedings in which the Grand Master of Ireland takes a prominent part , not because the Duke of Abercorn is less mindful of his duties as head of the Order in that
Jurisdiction , but rather because the Masons of Ireland are particularly averse to public or semi-public displays of Freemasonry . Hence it is we are specially pleased to record the proceedings in connection with the recent inauguration of a new Hall at Lurgan , when the Grand Master of Ireland
expressed himself in terms which must meet the approval , of Brethren the world over , and at the same time prove that our Brethren of the Emerald Isle , if a little reserved in regard to their work , are as enthusiastic and sincere in their Masonic duties as any of the members of our widely dispersed Brotherhood .
