A NEW HALL FOR WADEBRIDGE .
THE brethren of Wadebridge and district held a festival on the 2 nd inst ., on the occasion of tho laying of the foundation stone of a Masonio Hall in connection with Lodge Molesworth , No . 1954 Wadebridge . It was only in 1882 that Bro . R . Jones and half-a-dozen moro energetic Masons decided on getting a Masouic Lodge fonnded afc Wadebridge , and their labours were rewarded in February of the following year by the Earl of Mount Edgcumbe the P . G . M . con
seorating Lodge Molesworth , in the presence of a large number oi visiting brethren . From the first the Lodge has been most successful , seeming , if possible , to become more prosperous nnder each successive Master . It can now boast of a muster-roll of sixty—a very creditable thing . The meetings have been held , from the formation of tho Lodgo , in a room attached to Bro . Bonney ' s Com .
mercial Hotel ; and , although most convenient so far as it went , the brethren have for some time felt that it was their duty to have a temple or Lodge-room of their own . Accordingly a few of the enterprising brethren decided on taking the initiative , and Bro . \ V . Lucy was elected Chairman and Treasnrer of a strong committee to carry ont this object , nnd they soon found that they had the support
of the brethren generally . A site was purchased in Mr . Cleeve ' s field on the south side of the railway station , which is being laid out for building purposes , and Mr . W . T . Martyn Mear , of Wadebridge , F . S . A ., son of an old Freemason of No . 39 , Exeter , was asked to draw up the necessary plans and specifications . This was accordingly done by Mr . Mear , whose hands were somewhat tied by the
fact that he had to design a building the total cost of which , with the land , was not fco exceed £ 300 . The plans were accepted , and Mr . John Paul and Bro . John Goodfellow , the outgoing W . M . of the Lodge , entrusted with tho work . The building will be erected of local stono , with brick dressings , and is expected to be completed early in September .
