Consecration Of A Royal Arch Chapter At Rothesay.

the honour which had been conferred on them of having their names enrolled amongst the first members of St . Blane 163 . Comp . E . Barker , in a neat speech , proposed prosperity to 163 , St . Blane , and the new Z ., their noble Provost . Comp . Orkney thanked Comp . Barker for the flattering terms in which both him and Comp . Wheeler had spoken of him , ho was afraid ho should scarcely

bo able to fill that chair in the way they had indicated ; he thought his predecessor in office , ex-Provost Duncan , who was a good public speaker , would have made them a better presiding officer , but ha cmld assure them that , as far as his ability would permit , he would do all in his power to carry out the very excellent lessons that had been given him to night in tho charges , and also in the example in

the chair which he had witnessed . Comp . Duncan felt likewise that he was too young in the Order to efficiently fill the chair of H ., but he was glad to obey the wishes of the assembled Companions , who appeared to think differently . Craft Masonry had been progressing very rapidly in Bute during the last two years , and ho saw no reason why St . Blane Chapter should not prosper in an equal degree , at any

rate it should not languish for want of any support that ho could give it . The Chairman then gave Bros . Morrison and Innis , without-whose exertions they would not now havo been assembled , as they had entirely organised tho new Chapter . P . Z . Morrison said he was glad that their efforts so far had been so eminently successful ; seven years ago he tried to raise a Chapter in

the island , but the Butemen were not then quite prepared for it , and when , about two months ago , Bro . Innis , the J . W . of their Lodge , called on him to ask for his co-operation , he was only too happy to give it . Ho signed the petition as the nominated Z ., but with the full intention of g tting some more influential brother , if possible , to take that place , and the Provost having accepted it , ho was most

happy to retire as a P . Z ., but he would be glad to do any thing for the Chapter in any office that might bo temporarily vacant . ( Cheers . ) Comp . Innis , Treasurer , said it was very true that he had a deal of work for tho last two months , and had met with a great many rebuffs , some of them from his not being a Royal Arch Mason himself , but when in Glasgow he called on his friend Wheeler , who immediately

wrote to tho G . S . E ., and got him the form of Charter ; from his Chapter they also got a recommendation and members to sign it ; now the installation ; and he did not regret tho trouble he had taken , or that labour , which , as Treasurer , he was likely to get . All that he hoped was , that they would give him plenty of employment . Comp . Lieutenant Buchanan replied on behalf of the army , and as the oldest Arch Mason present . Ho had received the degree

at Poonah , in the Star in the East , above thirty years ago . Ho was glad to bear testimony to tho general good conduct of tho British army , as Provost Marshal for some years to tho catnp whore there were two full European regiments , five native regiments , and two of cavalry ; all the officers of these bodies came under his notice , and though there might be a fow black sheep , still ho was glad , as a Mason ,

to say fcho British army was not the set of scamps that some of its detractors would represent it to be . Comp . Wheeler proposed the " First Sojourner and other officers of the Chapter . " They had toasted their three Principals , bat the Sojourner was really a principal officer , though ranking seventh in tho Chapterbut it was the way in which work was performed that

con-, ferred honour , and not the name of the office that was held . Though himself holding office as Z ., ho considered it an honour to be asked , as he often was , to officiate as Sojourner in soma other Chapter . Having himself exalted Comp . E . Barker , about throe years since , ho had no doubt ho would make a good officer , for he had not only tho desiro to learn , but a most retentive memory , and ho was glad to find that ho

hold so important an office in their midst as Curator of tho Aquarium , and now First Sojourner iu the new Chapter . Comp . Barker replied in suitable terms . Comp . J . StowartH . 73 proposed " Tho commercial interests of Rothesay . " When trade and commerce flourished , Masonry would also flourish , aud good Masons were also good commercial men ; they could not havo a better example of

this than their worthy Croupier . Comp . Duncan replied , in the course of his remarks mentioning that , as a fashionable watering place , they depended for a great deal of their owu prosperity on the commercial prosperity of their friends in Glasgow and other centres of industry . Comp . Haig , S . E ., gave the fireside of their First Principal , which

was suitably acknowledged . Comp . Bannerman , on behalf of tho deputation from Glasgow , thanked the Rothesay brethren for the liberal mauner in which they had been entertained ever sinco their arrival . Comp . Miller J . proposed the " Health of the worthy host , Bro , Kelly , " who had so well catered for their enjoyment .

Bro . Kelly expressed tho pleasure it at all times gavo him to see his Masonic brethren happy , and one way to make them happy was to give them a plentiful supply of tho good things of this life . Happy to meet , but sorry to part , was then given from tho chair , and the meeting , though so long in duration , was fonnd all too short for the enjoyment of tho newly exalted Companions of St Blane 163 .
