Correspondence.
the Chair of a Lodge , and stated , that when his term of office had expired , he is , to all intents and purposes , the Past Master of a Lodge ; I omitted to instal him into the Chair : but , as this ceremony , as hinted at in the Grand Lodge Laws , is more honoured in the breach than the observance , 1 shall content myself with saying , that the Lodges generally—I believe I may say almost universally—irrespective of the

I will not confer this degree upon him at present , but will , with your leave , do so , and along with it give the Installation of the Gz'and Lodge Laws , in my next . I remain , yours fraternally , FELLOW CRAFT .

S . —As I gave great offence last year by my remarks upon the Grand Lodge Festival , 18 . 50 , 1 would like very much to hear the opinions of those Brethren who were displeased with them , on the Festival now past .
