To the Editor of the " Freemason . " . Dear Sir and Brother , — The second paragraph of the second column of page 409 of the Freemason for August nth runs thus : — " Lord Holmesdale then move to omit clause 94 which was " postponed on the 29 th June . The clause was as follows :
"' the Deputy Provincial , or District Grand Master , the " Provincial or District Grand Wardens do not take any " rank out of their Province or District , ' & c . The clause " was omitted and clause 297 , as amended , was ordered to " stand part of the Constitutions .

" As the number of brethren who read the Freemason is much greater than the number who have any opportunity of reading the official Grand Lodge reports—a great many brethren deriving their knowledge of Grand Lodge transactions solely through your journal—you may perhaps think it advisable to correct the error in question , not necessarily by publishing this letter , but in any way you may deem convenient . —Yours fraternally , Sept . 5 th , 1883 .

STATUS OF PAST MASTERS . To the Editor of the " Freemason . " Dear Sir and Brother , — 1 have read over the long correspondence in your columns last week , but see nothing particular to comment upon or answer . I note a reproduction of a " fad " in very fervent language , and without the slightest attempt to reason on the part of almost all who take up the injured
Past Masters side , and therefore do not propose to continue the discussion this week , the more so . as before this meets the eyes of your readers Grand Lodge will have postponed the confirmation of the Constitutions until December or have confirmed or non-confirmed the alteration in our Book of Ccnstitutions . My own strong objections to a senseless and revolutionary change are unremoved , and I am glad 10 see that my views are shared in by seven out of the
twelve correspondents who sent communications last week . An eighth seems to lean to the same side . But here the matter must rest for the present . I am struck , as all must be , with "Three-Four-One ' s" letter . Unless the Freemason is to be " a dumb dog , " you cannot , with your honest opinions on the subject , have spoken otherwise than you have done . Perhaps your plain speaking has offended those who put declamation and personality in the place of argument and logic . —Yours fraternally , LEX .
To the Editor of the "Freemason . " Dear Sir and Brother , — Although this matter will doubtless be settled before this can appear in your columns I cannot refrain from making a few observations upon the correspondence whi ch appears in your last issue . The first and most important question seems to me to be whether a . Past Master has any rank at all in any lodge ; if so . what is his
position ? Now on referring to the present Book of Constitutions I think a complete answer to this can be found . On page 17 , last paragraph , the order of precedence runs thus " The Master , Past Masters , and Wardens of Grand Stewards Lodge and of every other loJge . '' I think therefore that as Hast Masters precede Wardens in Grand Lodge they must undoubtedly do so in their own lodge . Furthermore , supposing that H . R . H . the Prince of Wales was to
retire from the Grand Mastership to-morrow , would he not always retain his rank as Past Grand Master , and according to the same table of precedence follow the Pro G . Master , or would he return to the rank and file ? Also Past Prov . G . Masters follow the Present Prov . G . Masters , so 1 think should Past Masters rank next to the W . M . of a lodge so long as they continue subscribing members . Ifhoweveras some of your correspondents contend ,
, , P . Ms , have no rank or status in their own lodges , why make so much fuss about a joining P . M . ? The remarks made by your correspondent " I'hree-four-one" as to an Installed Master are well to the point . An Installed Master possesses secrets which are not entrusted even to a Warden , it seems , theref . re , rather incongruous to place him lower down in the scale than those nut possessed of these secrets .
Bro . W . G . Speth travels very wide of the mark in attempting a comparison between an ex-Lord Mayor and a P . M . As Freemasons we are governed by a Grand Lodge ,, and every lodge , although allowed to make its own byelaws is bound to do so in conformity with the laws ana regulations of each Grand Lodge . Can he point out any grand corporation or municipality which governs the whole of the coiporations ? His remarks that all corporations aro
