MARK MASONRY .
CONSECRATION OP A NEW LODGE AT ALFEETON .
MENTION has been freely made in these colnmns of the rapid growth of Mark Masonry in Derbyshire . Indeed , so marked has been the development of the degree during the past few years that a purely personal reason alone stands in the way of an application to the Prince of Wales ( now the M . W . G . M . M . M . ) for the constitution of a Derbyshire Province . At present the county is allied with Leicester , Northamptonshire , and Eutland , and presided over by the
venerable and accomplished William Kelly of Leicester , and the most enthusiastic local promoters of tho Order would hesitate to take any steps calculated to undermine the prestige of his long and honourable career in Mark Masonry . The latest addition to the Mark Lodges of Derbyshire has been made in the pleasant little town of Alfreton , where for many years there has existed a flourishing Craft Lodge ,
viz ., the lioyal Alfred , No . 1028 . The warrant of constitution was obtainod under the auspices of the Derby Mark Lodge , No . 302 , the petitioning brethren being Bros . Percy Wallis P . G . Deacon England , A . Schofield , W . H . Fisher , Holland Eowbotham , aud J . R . Fielding . The ceremony of consecration has just been performed , and was made the occasion of an interesting and instructive gathering . The
promoters wore exceedingly fortunate in being able to secure the attendance , as Consecrating Officer , of R . W . Bro . Charles Fitzgerald Matier P . G . W . ( England ) , and Grand Mark Secretary , who , with Bro . Robert Berridge P . G . W . ( England ) , Grand Director of Ceremonies , journeyed expressly from London to conduct the proceedings of the day . In the natural order of events , the Derby Lodge
exhibited a kindly and practical interest in the well-being of what may be regarded as its offspring . Bro . Abraham Woodivviss G . M . Overseer ( England ) undertook to carry ont the important preliminary work , and ho was supported by the following members of No . 302 : — Bros . Thomas Cox D . P . G . M ., Percy Wallis P . G . Deacon ( England ) , C . Webster P . M ., E . Home . W . J . Piper , A . Frazer , E . J . II . Hoskyns
VV . H . Wheeldon , W . L . Dodd . There wero also present Bros . George Flotcher , the Rev . C . W . Groves , J . H . Cook , the Hon . C . W . Trollope , A . Schofield ( Worshipful Master designate ) , W . H . Fisher , H . Rowbottotn , and J . 11 . Fielding . Lodge having been opened , a number of brethren were advanced to the degree of Mark Master . The Grancl Officer . * ( reinforced by this time by Bro . Rev .
S . Watiien Wigg P . G . Chaplain ) were then admitted , und th « elaborate ceremony of con ^ sevntion wiw pavfovm -d . Bn \ Matier carried out the ceremony with singular filelity at'd impressiveuess , receiving both from Bros . Boni lire and Wigg such valuable assistance as could onl y bo rendered by sympathetic aud experienced Masons-. Incidentally , Bro . Wigg delivered a brief oration , setting
lorth in glowing terms the principles and aims of tho Mark degiee . Lie skilfully made capital out of the fact , that tho new Lodge had botii christened the "St . Martin" ( afttr tho Pariah Chnrch of Alfreton , it may bo mentioni-d ) , contcooing that die generous and high-souled man whose deeds of charity and love wero thus commemorated was a pattern for all true Masons to imitate . Tho history
of Sfc . Martin proved that he so loved his fellow mnu—and especially those of them who were reduced to poverty and distress—that he was evor ready to sacrifice self to the promotion of their comfort aud happiness . Bro . Wigg related with thrillii g effect the pathetic and woll-known story of St . Martin aud tho beggar , aud added that the moral of it might bo accepted as a beautiful
illustration of the truest and loftiest principles of thoir ancient Order , lie went on to urge upon his listeners the duty of giving the widest possible application to their belief in the virtue of charity . Let them bo charitable in every phase of life , not less so amongst thoir friend- ; iu tlio world than amongst their brethren in Freemasonry . The addreas was followed with tho close-it attention ,
and cordially appreciated . Subsequently the important ta-k of installing the first Worshipfnl Master was admirably discharged by Bro . Percy Wallis . The honour was conferred upou Bro . A . Schofield ( the worthy and popular host of the George Hotel , Alfreton ) , who has been long and honourably known as a Craffc Mason in Derbyshire . Bro . Schofield duly appointed and invested his Officers , in the
following order : —Bros . P . Wallis I . P . M ., W . II . Fisher S . W ., Holland Kowbofctom J . W ., J . R . Fielding M . O ., Knowles S . O ., Diamond J .

Matier , Berridge , W . Kelly , A . Woodivviss , T . Cox , Wigg , and E . Home . At a later period fche
brethren dined together at fcho George Hotel , Bro . Schofield catering with tho ntinost liberality . Tho health of tho now W . M ., tho Contiecrating Ollieer , aud the Visiting Brethren , and success to St . Martin Lodge were cordiall y honoured . It onght to be added thafc Bro . W . L . Dodd had charge of the musical arrangements throughout the day , - . nd worked with his accustomed assiduity and good taste . —Derly Daily Telearaph .
