Masonic Notes.

Masonic Notes .

The Mark Benevolent Festival , which was held at the Freemasons' Tavern on Wednesday under the auspices of Bro . Lord Skelmersdale , has turned out a greater success than was generally anticipated , the Returns exceeding . £ 2100 . This is a substantial advance upon last year ' s total of ^ , 1894 and must be

the subject of gratification to the Chairman , the Stewards , and the General Board , which has under its charge the administration of the Fund . We heartily congratulate all interested in the Festival on its groat success , but more especially Bro . C . I ' * . Matier , Grand

Secretary and Secretary , to whose energy the successes of late years is due , and who must bo pleased beyond measure to find that though there arc , of necessity fluctuations in the Returns from year to year , I he average is well maintained .
