BOARDS OF INSTALLED MASTERS . To the Editor of the "Freemason . " Dear Sir and Brother , I am very strongly of opinion that the so-called ceremony of opening a Board of Installed Masters is un-Masonic and almost ludicrous . I had the privilege of reading a letter from the present Grand Secretary on the point ,
wherein he says the ceremony has " never been authorised by Grand Lodge , and should not be allowed , " and in the late Col . Shadwell H . Gierke ' s circular , which was printed and well circulated five or six years ago , he says the ceremony is " entirely irregular , ari'd was never recognised by or even known to Grand Lodge , and that it formed no part of the ritual authorised by Grand Lodge in 1827 , when the installation of a Master was specially considered . " . . . He further adds
— "The matter was brought before the Board of General Purposes in 1 SS 7 , when they ruled it to be entirely irregular , and should not bc practised . " I have no doubt that the Grand Secretary will be glad to supply copies of this circular to any one applying . Under these circumstances I consider that the ceremony is wrong , and whenever it is used I am of opinion that it is the duty of every true Mason to withdraw from the Iodge . —I am , yours fraternally , ANOTHER EX-SECRETARY .

The Province Of Worcestershire.
THE PROVINCE OF WORCESTERSHIRE .
The vacancy caused by the lamented death of Bro . Sir E . A . H . Lech- - mere , Bart ., has at length been actually—as for some months past it has been nominally—filled , and the Province of Worcestershire now has at its head a Mason in the person of Bro . A . F . Godson , M . P ., who .. for many years has held a distinguished position in the ranks of its Prov . Grand . Officers , and is well known to and highly respected by the brethren over
whom it will now be his privilege to preside as Provincial Grand Master . His installation took place in the Shire Hall , Worcester , on Thursday ) the 12 th instant , the ceremony being performed—as usual , most impressivelyby the Pro Grand Master , and the event was afterwards celebrated by the customary banquet in the Guildhall , at which about 180 sat down . Everything passed off most satisfactorily , and the day itself will long be remembered as one ofthe brightest in the annals of Worcestershire Masonry . Ofthe ' .
proceedings , however , we shall be in a better position to speak in our next issue , when a full report of them will have reached us . In the meantime , a few words about the Province itself may not be out of place . ' It appears from the Grand Lodge Calendar that Worcestershire was con- . stituted a Province iii 1753 , under Sir Robert de Cornwall , Bart ., who was at the same time Grand Master of the Provinces of Gloucestershire ,
Herefordshire , and Shropshire . In 1792 Bro . John Dent , M . P ., who was subsequently Grand Treasurer of United Grand Lodge for a long term of years , was appointed Prov . Grand Master and as one of the existing lodges was founded in 1790 , there is little doubt that his appointment must have been something more than honorary . In 1850 Bro . Henry C . Vernon , who had served as S . G . Warden of England only two years previously and died
as recently as iSS 6 , was place . d at the head of the province and conducted its affairs with considerable success until 1865 , when he resigned office and was succeeded by Bro . A , Hudson Royds . In 18 7 8 , the position again became vacant by resignation , and Bro . Sir E . A . H . Lechmere , Bart ., who had already won fame among the brethren , was installed as Prov . Grand Master , and under his auspices the province made still further progress .
He , unhappily , died quite unexpectedly in the early part of the present year , and since that sad event Worcestershire has been in charge of Bro . A . P . Godson as ' . Deputy P . G . M . As for the lodges now on the roll , they are 13 ' in number , the senior as regards the date of its constitution and numerically being Harmonic Lodge , No . 252 , Dudley , which was warranted in 1784 , but has not yet succeeded in establishing its claim to a centenary
warrant . Worcester Lodge , No . 280 , Worcester , was founded in 1790 , and , having been able to show to the satisfaction of the authorities that it has worked continuously for one hundred years , has received a centenary warrant , and its subscribing members are entitled to the privilege of wearing the centenary jewel . The third in order on the roll is the Lodge of Hope ' and Charity , No . 377 , Kidderminster , which was warranted in 1824 , and is
followed by the Standard Lodge , No . 498 , Dudley , which was constituted in 1844 ; the Semper Fidelis , No . 259 , dating from 1846 ; the Vernon , No . 560 , Stourport , and , the Lodge of Stability , Stourbridge , No . 564 , from 1849 ; and the Lodge of Perseverance , No . 573 , Hales Owen , from 1850 . ^ A lapse of 16 years , and then we come to the Lodge of St . Michael , No . 1097 , Tenbury , which was founded in 1866 ; the year following the number
being swelled by the addition of the Royds Lodge , No . 1204 . The three remaining lodges were consecrated during the administration of ; the late Provincial Grand Master , the Lechmere , No . 1874 . Kidderminster , having I been constituted in 1880 ; the Masefield Lodge , No . 26 34 , Moseley , in 1884 ; and the Godson ' LodgeNo . 2385 Oldburyin 1890 . As for the manner in which these
, , , lodges have fulfilled their duties and upheld the prestige of the Craft , the , generous support they have given to the Masonic Institutions , andthe encouragement they have shown towards Masonic literature , these things have been faithfully chronicled in the Masonic press , and need not , therefore , be referred to particularly in this brief sketch . It is enough that ' Worcestershire , in oronortion to its strength and the influence which a
Province of such modest dimensions is able to exert , has exhibited a love and respect for Masonry , which we have no manner of doubt it will maintain and even increase under the able guidance of Bro Godson . The following are the brethren whom the Provincial Grand Master was p leased to appoint as the officers of his Provincial Grand Lodge for the ensuing 12 months :
