grounds at the disposal of the Lodge , and throughout the whole affair they have assisted the Freemasons of Paclstow iu a manner which entitles them to the heartiest thanks of the Craft . The lion . MrB . Prideaux Bruue contributed largely to the Bazaar , and presided at the principal stall . It might be added that the articles of the bazaar were contributed mostly by the families of the various

members of the Lodge .

M . of the district— the Earl of Mount Edgcnmbe— stating that his lordship was unable to be presrnt on account of his being ont with his regiment at the battalion drill at Roborough , and expressing regret at hia inability to be present with them that day . Sir Charles then expressed to Mr . and Mrs . Brnne the very great pleasure the brethren felt in holding a

Bazaar there , and said tbe thanks of the Craft were due to that lady and gentleman for throwing open the grounds of Prideaux Place for such an object . He then explained the object of the Bnzaar , and remarked that the best thanks of the members of the Lodge were due to tbe ladies for the various beautiful articles on the stalls before them .

Petroo Lodge , and arranged under the direction of Messrs . A . Blarney and James Nieholls , was

held a little after one o ' clock , and was partaken of by a large number , all those mentioned in the above lists being present . The lunobeon over , a great many of the Visitors , throngh the courtesy of Mr . B . Prideaux Brune , were escorted throngh the Mansion House . To see the old and stately mansion , with its extensive library and numerous interesting links of times long ago ,

is in itself worth a visit to Padstow , notwithstanding the difficulties experienced in reaching it . The commencement of the erection of this magnificent structure was in 1588 , the year of the Spanish Armada , and in 1594 it was completed . It is said to have been built on the site of an old monastery founded by St . Petrock , and various crosses and other things found on the grounds lerd some

truth to the supposition . One old Maltese cross , whioh now stands on the grounds opposite the library , was found broken into two parts and in two different places on the lawn . In tbe mansion there is a variety of paintings , and the house has considerable interest attached to it on account of its being the first gentleman ' s house in which Opie painted . Several stories are told of Opie in

connection with the Prideaux family , one of which is that Opie in an expedition to Padstow took with him all proper apparatus for portrait painting , where , amongst others , he painted the whole household of the ancient and respectable family of Prideaux , even all the does and cats of tbe family . There is a tradition in the family that upon this occasion Opie painted the portrait of the housekeeper , who bad

evidentl y given him some cause of offence , for upon her expostulating with him in respect to the likeness , he said , " I painted yon just us you DB , and just as yon be when you he scolding tbe maids . " This picture of the housekeeper , however , is not now in the family , and most of his paintings have gone out of it . The mansion , which was built by Sir ftioholas Prideaux , was the birthplace of Humphrey Prideaux , Dean

of Norwich , who wrote a work entitled " The Old and New Testament connected in the History of the Jews , " tbe manuscript of which is DOW at the mansion , together with many others . In recognition of MIS work , Pope Clement XII . presented the Dean ' s son with a gold wedal in 1734 There are many other things in the mansion which tune will not permit ns to notice . —Western Daily Mercury .
