Provincial Grand Lodge was opened at four o ' clock , and , we rejoice to say , we have not for some time seen onr Grand Master looking so well . This was a matter of general congratulation amongst the brethren , after tho long and serious indisposition which Sir Watkin has suffered . After tho usual formalities had been completed , minutes read , and finances discussed , the work of presentation was
performed . Bro . W . Bulkeley Hughes , M . P ., D . P . G . M ., stepped forward , album in hand , and said -Right Worshipful Grand Master , I am deputed to be the organ of the Province to present to you an illuminated album descriptive of the sentiments of your Province , and which will con . tain the names of a great number—I hope nearly of all—tho brethren
of North Wales and Shropshire . It contains an address , which describes the sentiments expressed , and the feelings entertained throughout tho Province for you , sir , personally , and in acknowledgment of yonr services as Grand Master for five-and-twenty years . For myself , together with many in the room , I can say that each sue ceeding year has only added to the sense wo entertain of your
worth , and we all beg to express to you the deep feeling we entertain of the value and the privilege the Province has enjoyed in being for so long a period under such a chief . No ono amongst your countrymen and admirers can more than I do , sir , feel pride in being selected to present this address , and I beg you , Sir Watkin , to accept it with the hearty good wishes of the whole Province .
The P . G . Sec , Bro . Spaull , then read the address as follows : — " To Sir Watkin Williams Wynn , Baronet , and Member of Parliament for the county of Denbigh , the Right Worshipful Provincial Grand Master of North Wales and Shropshire"We , the undersigned officers of the Provincial Grand Lodge , Masters , Past Masters , Officers , and Members of the Lodges in the
Province of North Wales and Shropshire , beg to offer you our hearty congratulations upon having presided over this province for a quarter of a century . To commemorate this happy event we propose to establish a presentation for this province to the Royal Masonic Institution for Boys at Wood Green , and we ask your permission to call it the ' Sir Watkin Presentation . ' During the above period your
rule has been such as to give tho greatest satisfaction to all Masons , and has been so highly appreciated that Masonry has largely in . creased and flourished . The fact also that you have personally attended the consecration of twenty-one Lodges in the province is sufficient proof of the great interest you have taken in the Craft , and
the prayer of every brother is that the G . A . O . T . TJ . will long spare you to continue that happy rule which has endeared the name of Sir Watkin Williams Wynn to each and all who have been connected with the province since it was formed in 1852 , and of which you wero the first Grand Master . "
Bro . Sir Watkins Wynn , Bart ., M . P ., P . G . M ., in reply , said—Bro . Bulkeley Hughes and Brethren , I am exceedingly honoured by this last tribute of your kindness . Twenty-five years ago I was installed in this room . It seems a long time since , but it has included many happy days spent amongst you , and I hope I may be permitted to spend a few more . With the exception of our esteemed old friend ,
Dr . Bowles ( who would have been with us to-day but for his age ) , and Bro . Fawcett , I am now tho oldest Grand Master in the kingdom . During my career I have had difficulties in my path in giving away the Purple , but my object has always been to do justice to brethren who wero entitled , and yon must bear with me if I have omitted some who have merited it . I can assure you my object has always been to confer it on such as would benefit the Craft . I beg acain to
thank you for your kindness . The Deputy Grand Master especially do I wish to thank for his kind words . It is to him and to me a matter of deep feeling how many familiar faces we have seen in tho twenty-five years , at our Lodges , who are now gone from among us , and their faces will be seen no moro here , but we trust they have gone to that place where those whose lives here have acted out the principles they professed as Masons , will obtain their reward .

So far only tho address and the Grand Master ' s heraldic shield havo been emblasoned , but the book is to contain water colour drawings of Sir Watkin ' s seats , and tho list of

On Tuesday , 13 th inst ., Bro . W . J . Hughan was elected to serve the office of Worshi pful Master of the Fortitude Lodge , No . 131 , Truro , for the ensuing year . Our talented brother filled the chair of this Lodge in 1868 , and we hear
that the Mayor of Truro , who installed him on that occasion , has signified his wish to repeat the same like office in 1878 . We congratulate the members of Fortitude on having selected so competent a brother to preside over them .
Honour to whom honour is due . We say , elsewhere , the Spirit of Charity is abroad everywhere at the season of Christmas . One evidence of this we give with much pleasure . Bro . Herbert Rymill , of the Repository , Barbicanis
, distributing Christmas gifts of coals and provisions among the poor of the neighbourhood . Such men as Mr . Bymill , who use their means thus liberally , deserve to have their good deeds made public ,
