A QUARTEBLY communication was held in the Freemasons ' HaU , Edinburgh , on Thursday , 5 th inat ., the Grand Master Sir Charles Dalrymple , of Newhailes , Bart ., M . P ., presiding , with the Earl of Rosslyn Senior Grand Warden , and Major F . W . Allan Junior Grand Warden . There * was a large attendance . A statement submitted by the Grand Treasurer showed that for the quarter ending 24 th October the income had been £ 717 , being £ 152 in excess of the expenditure . There had been 802 entrants to the Order . During the same period £ 90 had been given in grants to distressed Brethren or to the widows of Masons .
Grand Lodge proceeded to the nomination of . Omce-Bearers for the ensuing year . The minutes of Grand Committee on this : subject bore that the Grand Master stated to them that his term of office would expire in November , and that on referring to the list of Past Grand Masters he found that of the seventy-three gentlemen who had preceded him in the office of the Grand . Master three only had exceeded three years consecutive service , and that he knew that there were others on the roll for promotion to the highest honour in the gift of Grand Lodge . He was aware
that there were special circumstances under which m two instances the period of service was prolonged beyond three years , but in his own ease no such reasons existed . From a consideration of these facts , and the knowledge that at present there was
no disturbing element in the administration of the affairs of Grand Lodge , which were never in a more nourishing condition , be respectfully declined re-nomination for election as Grand [ ¦ - Master . On the motion of Brother Colonel John Campbell , Perth , seconded by Brother Christie , Stirling , and supported by Bro . John Graham , of Broadstone , it was unanimously agreed that the best thanks of Grand Committee be given to Sir Charles Dalrymple for the most efficient and highly acceptable discharge of the duties of the Masonic throne during the three years just ending .
The Grand Master , m nominating his successor , said no justification was required for his own withdrawal from reelection , for it had been the rarest thing for a Grand Master to hold office for over three years . He had very great pleasure in moving the nomination of Lord Saltoun , who had served in the offices of Junior Grand Warden , Senior Grand Warden , and Substitute and Depute Grand Master . He was a hearty and
loyal Mason , had very greatly at heart the interests of Masonry in ^ Scotland , and he could not but think that his lordship would fulfil in a manner of which they would approve the grave duties of the office . This was seconded by Bro W . Officer , S . S . C ., and carried with acclamation .
Lord Rosslyn made graceful reference to the manner in which Sn * Charles Dalrymple had discharged the duties of the chair , and moved that a hearty vote of thanks be minuted for his most valuable services to Freemasonry in Scotland .
Bro . Charles Payne , who performed the responsible duties of Director of Ceremonies so satisfactorily on the occasion of the Prince of Wales unveiling the bust of Lord Suffield at the Agricultural Hall , Norwich , has received a pleasing souvenir of the event in the form of a photograph of his Royal Highness , in the Grand Master ' s clothing , and inscribed with his signature as G .
