OUR PORTRAIT GALLERY OF WORSHIPFUL MASTERS . In future numbers of the Freemason we purpose g iving a series of portraits of Worshipful Masters vvho have been recently installed . Recognising the fact that no greater honour can be bestowed on a brother than to be elected the Master of his lodge , vve

desire to do our part towards creating a permanent record of such event in his Masonic history by placing bis portrait before our readers . We shall be pleased to furnish Secretaries of lodges and others who may take an interest in our project whatever information may be desired as to our proposed method of procedure .

The Quarterly General Courts of the two Schools will be held next week , that of the Girls' School being fixed for Thursday , the t 2 th inst ., and the Boys ' School Court for the following day . The business to be

transacted will , however , be mostly of a routine character , being limited almost entirely to the declaration of the vacancies to be competed for in April , and the final settlement of the lists of candidates .

* * * A nice question will , however , arise in the case of the Boys' School out of the confirmation of the minutes of the October Court . It will be remembered that Bro . Cumberland ' s motion for changing the

dates of the Council meetings from the first Saturday to the last Friday in every month save one , was carried on that occasion , and should it be confirmed next week , the resolution , as amended , will at once become operative ; in which case a meeting will be due and should be held on Friday , the 2 ? th inst .

? * * But the January Council will alread y have been held under the old regulation , and the question arises—Can a second regular monthly Council be held in the same month ' i We do not suppose it will make much

difference as regards thc transaction of business whether it is or is not held ; but it is a nice point , and one to be determined by a lawyer rather than a layman . Perhaps some of our readers may be disposed to offer an opinion on the subject .

Bro . G . W . Speth has contributed a graphic article to the December number of the " Rough Ashlar" — descriptive of a meeting of the Grand Lodge of England . It contains much valuable information ,

vvhich will be useful to English Masons as well as to our United States brethren , and , with Bro . Speth ' s permission , we shall take the first opportunity of transferring it to the pages of the Freemason ,
