Mark Masonry.

MARK MASONRY .

CONSECRATION OF A M . M . LODGE AT BOURNEMOUTH . The ancient Craft Lodge of Hengist , the centenary festival of which we chronicled at some length three weeks ago , has now given proof of its inherent vitality by putting forth a new and vigorous

offshoot , in the shape of a lodge of Mark Masons , bearing the same name as itself . This new lodge ( 125 ) was formally launched upon its career of work on Shrove Tuesday at Bournemouth , under the auspices of Bro . F . Binckes , 33 ° , G . S . ; the visitors being Bros . J . M . P . Montagu , 33 , W . M . St .

Mary's Lodge , Bridport , No . 125 , and D . P . G . M . in Craft Masonry ; R . H . M . Lawson , 30 , W . M . St . Cuthberga's Lodge , Wimborne , No . 99 ; C . Wyndham , J . W . 99 ; W . Reade , S . D . 99 . Expressions of regret at their unavoidable absence were also sent from R . W . Bro . W . W . B . Beach

P . G . M . M . ; Bro . Gundrey , P . G . M . Dorset ; W . Bros . Stebbing and Sheppard . The lodge was opened in ancient form a few minutes after four o ' clock ; and ; after the necessary preliminaries , fourteen brethren were advanced to the honourable degree of Mark Master , Bro . F .

Binckes acting as W . M . By this arrangement of the proceedings the newly-advanced brethren were enabled to be present at the formal constitution and consecration of the lodge . The warrant of constitution having been read , Bro . Binckes , in the name of the R . W . G . M . M ., declared the lodge duly

constituted , and proceeded to consecrate it in solemn form . The ceremony being completed , the VV . M .-nominate , Bro . Rev . P . H . Newnham , 30 ° ( S . W . of Mark Lodge , No . 121 ) , was presented for installation by W . Bro . Montagu ; and , all below the degree of Installed Mark Master having retired ,

a Board of Installed Masters was declared open , and Bro . Newnham was regularly installed in the chair of Adonhiram by Bro . Binckes . The brethren having been readmitted , and having saluted the W . M ., he at once proceeded the Wardens nominated by the warrant , viz ., Bro . J . T . Briant , 18 ° ,

S . W . ; T . G . Horder , iS ° , J . W . The remaining officers were then appointed , as follows : —E . W . Rebbeck , 18 ° , M . O . ; E . Edsall , S . O . ; D . Sydenham , J . O . ; J . B . Atkinson , Sec ; M . Webb , 18 , R . M . ; R . Sydenham , 3 . D . ; H . F . Brouncker , 18 , J . D . ; H . Ling , D . C ; E . Waters , I . G . ; T . S . Biggs

and W . Turner , Stewards . Bro . Briant was unanimously elected as Treasurer , and Bro . Baverstock was chosen Tyler . Bro . Binckes then delivered the charges to the officers and the closing address in a manner which evidently made a lively impression upon all the brethren present .

The installation ceremony being thus completed , a ballot was taken for two brethren as joining members , which was unanimous in their favour . A code of by-laws was proposed , and ordered to be discussed at the next meeting . The W . M . then asked the brethren to pass a special vote of thanks

to Bro . Binckes , for the services which he had so cheerfully rendered , though suffering from indisposition ; observing that although on occasions like the present such a vote followed as a matter of course , he trusted Bro . Binckes would , under existing circumstances , receive it as something

than a mere formal tribute . A second hearty vote of thanks followed to the visitors ; of whom Bros . Montagu and Lawson had travelled a considerable distance in order to ensure the formation of a Board of Installed Masters . The lodge was then closed in antient form , and the brethren adjourned to the

commodious Assembly Rooms adjoining the lodge , where an excellent repast awaited them . Unfortunately , the W . M . and a considerable number of brethren compelled to leave by the eight o ' clock train , so that the greater part of the usual Masonic toasts had to be dispensed with ; but the W . M . on his health being proposed by Bro . Binckes ,

particularly begged the brethren to observe that their new lodge numbered among its members brethren from the Craft Lodges of Unity ( 132 ) . Amity ( 137 ) , and Faith and Unanimity ( 417 ) . «» -l while the Lodge of Hengist was sustained by such words as these , it was impossible that it could do anything but prosper .

charming Trio , " If I forget thee , O Jerusalem , " from Boyce ' s well-known anthem . The Lodge being duly closed , the brethren escorted their Royal and distinguished guests to a Banquet , in which the skill and taste of Bro .

enthusiastically received by the Brethren and eloquently responded to by the Royal and distinguished guests , whose presence added such lustre to the evening , and while the Jerusalem Lodge was heartily congratulated on the complete success of its Centenary Festival , the happiest

results to tlie Craft generally were argued from the readiness with which the Prince of Wales had joined , not only the Celebration , but the bodge itself ; and the cordial interest which His Royal I Ugliness showed in the Masonic proceedings .
