The Quarterly Convocation of Supreme Grand Chapter was held at Freemasons' Hall on Wednesday , and it will be seen from the report of the proceedings which appears in another part of our columns , that with very few exceptions those who were appointed to office in Grand Lodge last week , have been honoured
with positions as nearly as possible corresponding in rank in Grand Chapter . Comp . Viscount Dungarvan is the new Grand Scribe N ., while Comp . Sir Lionel Darell , Bart . —a Senior Grand Deacon of England in 1889—who was a candidate for the Treasurership of Grand Chapter last year , is G . P . S . Comp . W . Mason
Stiles , who was elected Grand Treasurer in 1894 , retains the office by virtue of being ; Grand Treasurer of Grand Lodge , and Comp . James Edmeston—Grand Supt . of Works in the Craft in 1894—is the new 3 rd Grand Std . Br . The office of Grand Organist has been conferred upon Comp . W . de M . Sergison , who
was Grand Organist in the Craft last year , while Comp , H . F . Frost , who was Grand Organist in the Royal Arch in 18 94 , was appointed Organist of Grand Lodge last week . We congratulate those who have had their services in Royal Arch Masonry thus honourably recognised .
Only three warrants for new chapters havc been granted since the Quarterly Convocation in February , and under these have been constituted Ixion Chapter , No . 2501 , Buckhurst Hill , Essex , attached to the lodge bearing the same name and number and meeting in the same locality ; the Bevan Chapter , No . 2458 , Eton , Bucks , attached to the Eton Lodge , No . 2458 , and named after its first M . E . Z .. Comp . A . H . Bevan ;
Masonic Notes.
and the Dartmouth Chapter , No . 662 , West Bromwich , Staffordshire , attached to the lodge which meets in the same town and bears the same name and number . Three chapters , which have ceased working—namely , ( he Mid-Surrey No . 1044 ( London ); the Wellington , No . 517 , Wellington ( N . Z . ) ; and the Royal Hanover
No . 1777 , Iwickenham ( Middlesex ) — having not replied to the summons addressed to them by order of Grand Chapter , havc * been struck from the roll of chapters . Victoria Chapter , No . 1577 , Napier ( N . Z . ) , having ceased working and returned its charter has also bee ; : erased .
We regret we were unable to give a fuller account of the services of Bro . Harry Tipper , Assistant Grand Pursuivant , in our record of last week . We have much p leasure , therefore , in stating that in the Mark Degree he is a P . M . of the Henniker Lodge , No . 315 , was founder and first W . M . of King Solomon Lodge , No ,
3 S 5 , in 18 S 7 ; was appointed Prov . S . G . D . Middlesex and Surrey , in 188 9 ; and served as Grand Steward , in 1892 . He is the present Master of the Rose and Lily Council , No . 15 , of the Allied Degrees , and E . P . elect of the New Temple Preceptory of the Order of the Temple . He is also a member of the Cryptic Degrees and of the Order of the Secret Monitor , but , above
all , we must place on record that he has been Treasurer of the King Solomon Mark Lodge for seven years , while in the King Solomon Craft Lodge and the Bard of Avon Chapter of Rose Croix , he has filled the ofiice of Secretary for n years and seven years . These services are of a character to deserve recognition , and we are glad they have been recognised .
The Statement of Account for the I * unds of thc Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution during the year 1894 , which have been issued with the voting papers for the annual election , are very satisfactory . The Closing Balances show a decrease as compared with those at the opening of the year . As regards the Male Fund ,
the noteworthy items on the Receipt side are those relating to ( he Permanent Income and the Subscriptions and Donations . Tbe former , consisting of the Grants from Grand Lodge and Grand Chapter and the Dividends , amounts to . £ 2733 7 s . iod ., while the Donations and Subscriptions reached a total of , £ 7250 6 s . 3 d .
The Disbursements amounted to . 68947 19 s . 6 d ., of which ^ 7488 was expended in annuities . The proceeds in respect of the Purchase and Sale of Stock , the placing and withdrawal of money at call , and the sum received in respect of a Perpetual Presentation , are
matters which do not in any way concern the financial administration of the Charity . The balance to the good on the 31 st December , 18 94 , was . 62306 19 s . Sd , as compared wilh . £ 3222 15 s . So . on the ist January . * * #
As regards the Widows' Fund , the balance on the ist January , 1894 , was . 61770 19 s . 4 d . The Permanent Income , consisiing , as in the case of the Male Fund , of Grants from Grand Lodge and Grand Chapter and Dividends , was . £ 2583 os . gd ., while the Donations and Subscrip tions reached £ 6896 13 s . 6 d . The
expenditure , exclusive of Deposit at Call , Purchase of Stock , & c , amounted to £ 967 2 12 s . 3 d ., of which £ ' 8189 was in respect of Annuities , the balance on 31 st December being . £ 1581 6 s . 5 d . The Sustentation of Building Fund Account is on a very modest scale , the receipts , including Dividends , being under £ 90 ,
while the balance at close was over . £ 56 . One feature in the Statement stands out boldly namely , that the Permanent Income of the Institution , taking the Male and Widows' Fund and the Sustentation of Building Fund together , reached . £ 5343 is . 5 d . The greater this portion of the receipts , the stronger will be the faith of the brethren in the stability of the Institution .
Before returning to Cornwall , and in view of the approaching Festival at which he is to preside , the Earl of Mount Edgcumbe , D . G . M ., and Prov . G . M . of Cornwall , paid a morning visit to the Royal Masonic Institution for Girls , on Thursday , the 25 th ult . He was received by the chairman of the month , Bro . Robert Grey , Bros . Sir John Monckton , Henry Smith ,
Dep . Prov . G . M . of West , Yorks , Treas . ; E . Letchworth , Grand Secretary ; and F . R . W . Hedges , Secretary of the Institution . The Deputy Grand Master made a minute inspection both of the children and of the premises , and heard and witnessed the performance of music , singing , and the calisthenic exercises , and expressed to Miss Davis before leaving the hig hest satisfaction with all he saw .
THE Italian Opera Season at Covent Garden will open on Monday , the 13 th instant , with Verdi ' s " Otello , " th « other performances during ; the lirst week comprising " Fra Diavolo , " " Le Prophete , " lloilo ' s "Melistofele , " "Lohen grin , " and " ll Trovatore . "
