Mark Masonry.

MARK MASONRY .

— : o : — THREE important gatherings of Mark Master Masons have been held during the past few days , and in each case evidence has been forthcoming which points to the gfrowing popularity of the Mark Degree . On Thursday ,

the 28 th ulfc ., the annual meeting of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Somersetshire was held at the Masonic Hall , Bath , under the presidency of the Provincial Grand

Master , Bro . R . 0 . Else . Sums of twenty guineas each were voted to the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution and the Royal Masonic Institution for Boys , and the following brethren were appointed as the Officers for the vear : —

Bro . Colonpl Ford 177 ( reappointed ) . Deputy Master B . H . Watts 177 . . Senior Warden Fred W . Dingle , Royal Cumberland Junior Warden J . W . Stone 119 - - - M . O . T . C . Manning 128 - . . S . O . E . J . B . Mercer , Royal Cumberland J . O . Rev . C . F . Winter 348 - - Chaplain W . Long 191- - . . Treasurer E . Newton Fuller 177 - - Registrar of MarkB F . T . El worthy 348 - . - Secretary T . H . Holroyd 128 . - . Senior Deacon S . G . Mitchell 177 - - - Junior Deacon E . R . Down 191 « - Inspector of Works W . Adams 318 - - . Director of Ceremonies T .

The Provincial Grand Mark Master Mason proposed a resolution expressing regret at the death of Bro . E . Turner Payne , the late Treasurer of the district , which resolution

was unanimously supported by those present , who showed in marked manner their appreciation of the services rendered by their deceased companion .

On the same clay the Mark Brethren of North and East Yorkshire held their annual assembly at Beverley , under the presidency of Bro . J . W . Woodall , Provincial Grand Master . The sum of £ 5 was voted towards defraying the

cost of educating one of the children of an old member of the York Mark Lodge , and £ 5 15 s set aside towards extinguishing f > , debt of fifteen guineas due by the Provincial Grand Lodsre . The Provincial Grand Master felt

that the present depressed state of trade no doubt retarded tho progress of the Order , especially in his own district . He also referred to the fact that Hull had not yefc joined

the Provincial organization , and expressed a hope that the Mark Masons of that town might soon see their way to cooperate with the other brethren of the Province . Tho
