THE Provincial Grand Master H . E . H . the Duke of Connaught has decided that the next meeting of Provincial Grand Lodge shall be held on Wednesday , 25 uh November , at Hastings . It is announced that H . E . H . will preside on the occasion .
When we wrote last week saying that apparently the officials of the Boys Institution had thought it desirable to "boycott" us , we thought the evidence we possessed was sufficient to justify our doing so , but we were altogether wrong in our surmise , and we take the earliest opportunity of expressing regret that we should have entertained such an opinion . Bro .
McLeod assures us there was no thought on his part of such a course , and he sends us extracts from different letters to prove his assertion ; there is no necessity to publish the extracts , as he wishes , as his contradiction is sufficient , and our readers can have no interest in the details . The result proves the utter unreliability of circumstantial evidence , which seemed to us so very strong in this case .
Stone-Laying Ceremony.
STONE-LAYING CEREMONY .
ON Tuesday , 13 th inst ., the Provincial Grand Master of Staffordshire laid the chief corner-stone of the enlargement of St . Giles ' s Church , Willenhall , the ceremony being attended with full Masonic honours . The enlargement scheme , which involves an outlay of £ 2 , 500 , includes the prospective purchase of an organ , and the enlargement of the south aisle ,
the lengthening of the chancel , and the provision of a vestry . The enlargement is part of the Fisher Memorial scheme , which has been promoted to perpetuate the memory of
the late vicar , the Eev . George Hutchinson Fisher , who laboured for sixty years in the parish . The architect is Mr . J . P . Barker , of Willenhall , the contractors being Messrs . J . Guest and Son , of Brettell Lane .
The Provincial Grand Officers and Brethren , preceded by the clergy , choir , and officials of St . Giles ' s Church , and headed by the Willenhall Temperance Band , marched in procession from the Town Hall to the Church . The Earl of Dartmouth delivered the customary opening address , aud the Provincial
Grand Chaplain the Eev . O . M . Holden having offered prayer , the ceremony of laying the stone by the Earl of Dartmouth followed . The cornucopia , containing the corn , and the ewers , with the wine and oil , were handed to his lordship , who strewed the corn and poured the wine and oil over the stone with the accustomed ceremonies .
Dr . Hartill proposed a vote of thanks to his lordship and the Masons who accompanied him , and after a reference to the work of the Eev . G . H . Fisher , the late vicar , alluded in feeling terms to the loss the nation has sustained in the death of the Archbishop of Canterbury .
Mr . H , Vaughan seconded the vote , and Lord Dartmouth , in responding , said it was his earnest hope , and that of the Brotherhood , that the happy auspices under which the ceremony had taken place might be the forecast of the great benefits the people of the neighbourhood would receive when the work was complete .
A suitably inscribed silver trowel and gavel were then presented to Lord Dartmouth , as mementoes of the ocoasion , and the proceedings terminated . The collections at the ceremony amounted to £ 125 . — " Birmingham Gazette . "
An excellent portrait of the late Lord Kensington Provincial Grand Master of the Western Division of South Wales appeared in the St . James' Budget , of the 16 th inst .
Eeferring to the paragraph inserted last week , as to a new Masonic Hall at Filey , we understand that nothing has been done beyond the purchase of the land ,- so as to secure the site , the question of building not having yet been decided upon .
The Eoyal Standard Lodge of Instruction , No . 1298 , arranged a special meeting for yesterday evening ( Friday ) , when their Lodge Eoom was ready for occupation after the extensive repairs that have been made at the quarters of the Lodge—the ACastle , 81 Holloway Eoad . It was proposed to inaugurate the
season by the rehearsal of the three ceremonies , worked respectively by Bros . E . Linfoot I . P . M . 1298 , James Carver P . M . 1298 , and T . Cull W . M . 1298 Preceptor of the Lodge .
Henceforth the Lodge will meet each Friday evening , at 8 o ' clock , the entrance being in Holloway Eoad . Bros . John A . Stone and H . Pearsall are the joint Secretaries , and they will be pleased to welcome visitors on any of the nights of meeting .
A largely attended meeting of Brethren of the Province of Durham was held at the Durham Masonic Hall , on Saturday , 17 th inst ., to consider a proposed testimonal to Bro . Eoberfe Hudson P . G . S . B . England Provincial Grand Secretary of Durham . Sir Hedworth Williamson presided , and intimated
that a general desire had been expressed that the services of Bro . Hudson for 14 years past should be recogni 3 edin some tangible form . It had been ascertained that his wishes would best be met by the formation of a local charitable endowment which would bear his name . It had been thought well that it should
take the form of a perpetual endowment in connection with the new Benevolent Fund for the Province , and supplementally to this it was intended that a small memento of a more personal nature be also given to Bro . Hudson . The amount required was £ 1 , 000 .
It was decided that the proposals in Sir Hedworth ' s speech be adopted , and Sir Hedworth , who was elected chairman , promised £ 50 . Other officers and a committee were appointed , and further subscriptions were promised . — " Newcastle Chronicle . "
