G . S . W . 1592 , G . Gonld 957 Lodge having been opened , tbe Prov . Grand Secretary ( Bro . N . Tracy ) read the warrant of the Prov . Grand Master , which was in the following terms : —

PROVINCIAL GRAND LODGE OP SUFFOLK . On the most lamentable and sudden decease of the late R . W . Bro . H . R . H . Leopold Dnke of Albany P . G . W ., and Prov . G . M . Oxfordshire , and W . M . of the Royal Clarence Lodge , No . 1823 , Clare , Suffolk , the R .-W . the Provincial Grand Master of the Province of Suffolk directs : —

1 . That all private Lodges within tbe Province do adopt the ordinary Masonic mourning for the four Lodge nights next ensuing after the receipt of these presents . 2 . Thafc a Provincial Grand Lodge of Emergency be convened witb all convenient speed to prepare an address of condolence to her Majesty the Qneen and to H . R . H . the Duchess of Albany on the

grievous . The said P . G . L . ( E . ) to bo in charge of the R . W . D . P . G . M ., in the absence of the P . G . M ., for sufficiency reasons . Special . —The P . G . M . takes notice of the loss that the Province has sustained iu the sudden removal of this worthy and accomplished Brother , whose connection with the Craft has so recently been begun and unhappily not to be perpetuated , such being the will of the G . A . TJ .

WAVENEY P . G . M . Prov . Suffolk . The Deputy Prov . Grand Master ( Bro . the Rov . C . J . Martyn ) , in the name of the Prov . Grand Master , thanked the brethren mosfc sincerely for the way in which they bad responded to the invitation given afc such very short notice , and said he was sure ifc was nofc necessary to offer any inducements to make the Freemasons of

Suffolk rally together on snch an occasion as the present , when all they bad to do was to draw np and agree upon , as be was quite sura they would do unanimously , an address of condolence with Her Majesty tbe Queen and Her Royal Higbness the Dnchcss of Albany in the very sad and unexpected death of the Duke of Albany , which had so lately occurred . Tbere conld be bnt one feeling in the mind of

every single soul there present , and thafc was an earnest and heartfelt wish that it might please the G . A . O . T . U ., who hacl sent this blow , to help the bereaved mother and the widowed wife to bear their great trial . On such occasions as these human consolations wero of little avail—they , to bo of any use , mnst be given by Him who sent the blow , who alone codld help the sufferer to bear it . Still , at the

same time , as he had occasion to know , these expressions of sympathy did help undoubtedly to alleviate the distress , and sorrow , and tho pain , and therefore he was quite certain that they , one and all , were ready to do what little lay in their power to testify to Her Mosfc Gracious Majesty , and also to the Duchess of Albany , their sincere feelings of regret that it had pleased the Almighty to take from their midst their beloved and honoured brother the Dokeof Albany . Many

of thorn had been hoping to have seen H . R . H . down in the Province of Suffolk during tbe coming year . He had only resenfcly , in a mosfc kindly and gracious manner , accepted the Mastership of the Clarence Lodge ( almost the youngest Lodge in the Province ) at Clare , and they had been hoping thafc daring his Mastership he would have personally visited Clare . Had he clone so ifc was the wish of tho Prov . Grand Master to be present , assisted by his Prov . Grand Officers , and pay
