The D . P . G . M . then gave the toast of " Our Newlyaffiliated Brother—the Right Hon . the Earl of Kingston , S . VV . 242 . " He said he was pr < ud to be able to give that toast , not only because their newly-affiliated brother was a very distinguished ornament of society , not merely for the Masonic advancements that he had justly received , but because Masonry for many years had been adorned by the
name of Kingston—a name that had been inseparabl y bound up , incorporated , and associated with the Order in Ireland since A . D . 1730 .. Bro . the Earl of Kingston , in responding , said that he would not refer to the connection of his ancestors with the Order ; that was a matter of history . He hoped to follow in their footsteps .

UNVEILING OF PORTRAIT OF BRO . COL . SIR ARCHIBALD C . CAMPBELL , BART ., M . P ., M . W . G . M . At the late grand Masonic bazaar there was disposed of b y subscription sale a pastel life-size portrait of the M . W . G . M . of Scotland , painted for and contributed to the bazaar for Bro . William Drummond Young , of
Dramatic and Arts Lodge , Edinburgh , and won b y Glasgow Kilwinning Lodge , No . 4 . To mark the importance of the prize , the brethren decided upon having a special meeting to unveil the picture , and this was held on Wednesday evening , the 28 th ult ., when Bro . John Graham , of Broadst ' one , Prov . Grand Master of Glasgow ( City ) , performed the
ceremony . The Provincial Grand Master was supported on the dais b y Bros . C . C . Thomson , R . W . M . 4 ; G . C . H McNaught , Prov . G . Sec . ; Rev . Thomas Somerville M . A ., P . G . Chap . ; Alex . Dobson , R . W . M . Edinburgh
Lodge , Denfensive Band ; W . D . Young , Dramatic and Arts Lodge , Edinburgh ; George Glen , P . J . G . W . East Renfrewshire ; and the R . W . M . ' s of several lodges in the home district , while the hall was comfortabl y filled with a distinguished company of invited guests and members .
After opening the lodge , Bro . C . C . THOMSON asked the Prov . Grand Master to accept his . mallet of office and unveil the picture , which the P . G . M . expressed his great pleasure in doing . Bro . GRAHAM gave a very interesting sketch of the history of the lodge from the date of ' its constitution
m ' 735 , a"d then proceeded to relate more recent events connected with Freemasonry in Scotland , which naturall y led him up to the subject of the recent bazaar . He thanked all the brethren and lad y friends for the vivid interest they had taken in the bazaar , and hoped the result of their exertions would be the adding of
something like ^ 18 , 000 to the sum at the disposal of Grand Lodge for benevolent purposes . This would place Grand Lodge in a position worth y of Scottish Freemasonry , and he thought the hi ghest praise was due to the Past Grand Master , Bro . Sir Michael Shaw Stewart , and the present Grand Master , Bro . Col Sir
Archibald Campbell , whose portrait he now had the honour and pleasure of unveiling , for their untiring zeal and energy in bringing Grand Lodge to the state of perfection in which it was now placed . He trusted the brethren of No . 4 would preserve the picture most carefullyas the name of Sir
Archi-, bald Cam pbell would be handed down to posterity as one who did all in his power to help the cause of the poor and decayed Masons , their widows and orphans . He then handed back the mallet to Bro . THOMSON who moved the best thanks of the lod to Bro '
ge Graham for his kindness in coming among the members and performing the ceremony . He also moved that honorary affiliation be conferred upon Bros VV D Young . G . Glen , J . O . Struthers , f . Kelso Hunter , and Alex . Dobson .
The lodge was then called to refreshment , when the usual loyal toasts were given and received with all honours , the music being excellently rendered by the members of the Lodge Glee Club , under the direction of Bros . Gideon Duncan and Alexander Patterson
Replying to the toast of" The Three Grand Lodges " coupled with the names of the three Grand Master ' s Bro . the Rev . T . SOMERVILLE was particularl y happy in his remarks , and caused some amusement b y saying he often had the honour of representing Royalt y , by
Scotland.
being called upon to reply on behalf of the Grand Lodge of England . He hoped Scottish Masonry would endeavour to emulate the magnificent Charity that was so characteristic of English Masonry , as Masonry was nothing if it did not strive to li g hten the cares of brethren placed in less prosperous circumstances than
they themselves , and he gave a beautiful explanation of the ancient Greek symbol of the beehive , with the bee fl ying towards it carrying a grain of rice . The toast of " The Provincial Grand Lodge of Glasgow" was responded to b y the PROVINCIAL G RAND M ASTER , who strongly impressed upon the
brethren the virtue of brotherl y forbearance one with the other , and the sinking of individual differences of opinion . The province was at present in a most efficient condition , and he was convinced that so long as provincial office bearers continued to display the
keen interest they at present took in its affairs it would continue to flourish and reflect credit on all the lodges under its sway . The other toasts included " The Province of East Renfrewshire , " " The Artist , " & c , after which the lodge was closed .
The portrait is a very happy likeness of Sir Archibald Campbell , and measures 5 8 b y 42 inches over all . It is a three-quarter size pastel , and shows all the parap hernalia appertaining to the office of Grand Master of Scotland .

BRO . ROBERT CRAIG , P . M . The news of the death recently of this venerable and venerated brother was received by the Craft in Leeds with unmingled feelings of the sincerest regret . Bro . Craig , who for many years had been one of the most prominent Freemasons in Leeds , was about 75 years of age .
For some months he had been staying with relatives in North L y ham , Northumberland , where he went to recmit -his health . He has frequentl y purposed to return to Leeds to be once more with the members of the Craft he loved so well , but his return has always had to be postponed on account of the unsatisfactory
state of his health , and now , alas ! he will never more receive the welcome that was prepared for him . He has gone down to the grave full of years and honours , and as he lived respected he has died regretted . He was initiated into Freemasonry in the Philanthropic Lodge , No . 04 , and at the time of his death was one
^ of the oldest Past Masters of that lodge . He early joined the Prudence Lodge , 206 9 , and in both lodges his death is felt as a severe loss , In Craft , Arch , and Mark Masonry Bro . Crai g was an adept , as well as in some of the " side " Degrees . He was P . P . G . Deacon of West Yorkshire , and held
corresponding honours in Prov . Grand Chapter . Asa ritualist he held a very hi g h position , and has coached more young Masons in his time than any other brother . Some years ago he was blinded b y temporary disease , ancl his greatest solace at that time , as he frequentl y confessed , was to repeat the ritual , and so proficient
did he become that in his later years his house was the welcome rendezvous of those anxious to acquire either Craft or Arch working . In every good work , whether in Masonry or out of it , he was ever to the fore . His Charity , indeed , knew no bounds , save those of prudence . His death has left Freemasonry in Leeds
very much the poorer , and his memory will long be cherished b y those who knew and loved him well . The brethren of his mother lodge and of Lodge Prudence sent wreaths which adorned his coffin on the way to his last resting place . He has left an example which will
stimulate the younger Masons in their pathway through life , ancl that is the best monument our dear departed brother would have desired . To know him was to love him , indeed , and now he is no more , to emulate his good example will be the ambition of his sorrowing brothers . Rpqniesrnt in pace .
