Original Correspondence.
The increasing demand for admittance of children and the want of more space and accommodation for thc daughters of our indigent brethren call for prompt action , especially as the funds are in hand , now lying idle , and which cannot be used for better purposes than making such extension . I am , Sir , yours fraternally , A VICE-PBESIUENT .
MASONIC TOKENS . To the Editor of the Freemason . Dear Sir , — Having seen a great deal of correspondence in your paper of late respecting the token commemorating thc Installation of H . R . H . the Prince of Wales , I feel much pleasure in forwarding a description of the one in my possession , and which is the only one I have
ever seen . The circular inscription is " Prince of Wales , elected G . M . 24 th November , 1790 . " In the centre is a shield divided by a chevron , composed of the square and compasses , between three castles . Thc shield supports a globe , surmounted by a dove with folded wings . The side supporters arc two beavers .
The riband bears the motto : " Amor . Honor . Et . Justitia . " On the obverse is the circular inscription : " Sit Lux . Et . Lux . Euit . In thc centre is a right angled triangle , and on the three sides are the words " Wisdom , Strength , and
Beauty . " In the triangle is a Cupid pointing his right hand finger to the letter G , surmounted by the all-seeing Eye , from which rays of light arc shedding downwards . The left hand supports a plumb rule . At the base of the triangle is a Bible , mallet , trowel , square , and compasses .
The edge of the token bears the inscription , " Scetchley , Birmingham . Facit . Masonic Token . " It was presented to me in gratitude by a non-Mason in return for a trifling favour that I conferred on him . 1 remain , Sir and Brother , yours fraternally , SAML . DUTTON , Sen . Sec . and Tr . 6 50 , P . P . G . P . Essex .
MASONIC CLOTHING . To the Editor ofthe Freemason . Dear Sir and Brother , — Correctness in clothing and insignia is , I consider , as desirable as uniformity of ritual and similarity of ceremonial .
In the Constitutions of symbolical Masonry the regulations for the former are clear and distinct , but in those for the Order of H . R . A . there exists some ambiguity , or rather a lack of precision . This is especially the case with regard to the regalia of Present and Past Officers of Provincial Grand Chapters . Let any companion study those regulations carefully , and at the next country chapter he
attends let him examine the clothing and insignia worn by the members , officers , and visitors , and judge how far those regulations have or have not , in his opinion , been carried out . Answers by some competent companion to the following questions would be of much service , and assist materially in establishing that uniformity so much to be desired : —
1 . Description of apron of Second and Third Principals and other officers of Provincial Grand Chapter ? 2 . Device of jewels worn by Second and Third Principals of Provincial Grand Chapter ? 3 . Authority for collars usually worn by Past Officers of Provincial Grand Chapters ?
4 . If jewels are worn by Second and Third Past Principals of Provincial Grand Chapters . If so , device ? 5 . If jewels are worn by other Past Officers of Provincial Grand Chapters ? 6 . Colour of ribbon by wliich medal of Past Officers of Provincial Grand Chapters is suspended ? Yours , PROVINCIAL .
A CAUTION . To thc Editor of thc Freemason . Dear Sir and Brother , — In August last a distressed brother applied for relief from this lodge . lie staled that he belonged to a lodge at Quebec , that he had been master and owner ( or part owner ) of a small vessel , the wreck of which had left
him penniless ; that he had lost his certificate when his vessel went down , that he had been picked up and taken to Dover , and had received relief there from certain magistrates , and also from a lodge ( as set forth in a paper certifying to his loss , and purporting to be signed by such magistrates , & c ) , that on his way through London he had
received relief at Freemason ' s Hall , and that he was then on his way to Bristol to seek employment as a mariner . Wc relieved him , but should not have done so had we been in possession of information which subsequent enquiry has given us , and which is at thc service of any brother interested . Yours truly and fraternally ,
