Mark Benevolent Fund Annual Festival
MARK BENEVOLENT FUND ANNUAL FESTIVAL
The annual Festival of the Mark Benevolent Fund was held on Wednesday evening , at Freemasons' Tavern , under the presidency of the Karl of Warwick , when a company of 150 ladies and brethren assembled to do honour to the occasion . The Chairman was supported by Bros , the Earlsof Portarlington and Euston , Ba * on de Ferrieres , Richard Eve , Thomas Fenn , R . Loveland-Loveland , Sir
Thomas Roe , G . J . W . ; Major C . W . Carrell , T . H . Gardiner , G . J . D . ; C . F . Matier , Charles Belton , Gordon Miller , Col . and Sheriff Clifford Probyn , Rev . W . Russell Finlay , Dr . Kempster , Dr . Lawrence , Richard Clowes , T . J . Railing , Dr . R . Turtle Pigott , Dr . C . S . Brewer , Dr . Clement Godson , Imre Kiralfy , John G . Smith , G . I . G . ; T . Rowbotham ,
T . P . Dorman , and James Lewis Thomas . There were five lady Stewards for the Festival : Mrs . Carrell , Mrs . Doiman , Mrs . Matier , and Mrs . and Miss Pigott . The tables were most tastefully laid , and the whole affair reflected the hig hest credit on the exertions of the Stewards . After dinner the following toasts were proposed :
The Earl of WARWICK , in proposing the toast of " The Queen , " said : Her Majesty was endowed with all those virtues which every Freemason admired , and briefly he would say they honestly , as loyal subjects , wished her a long reign , and earnestly trusted that peace might be preserved to her and her kingdom to the very last . ( Cheers . )
The Earl of WARWICK next gave " The M . W . G . M ., H . R . H . the Prince of Wales , " and said most of the brethren present were old Masons , and could look back to many pleasurable meetings when they had seen his Royal Highness presiding over them ; and on those occasions they had all been struck by the admirable manner in which he had always held himself as head of the Masonic body . No one ever spoke with greater tact or was
listened to with more pleasure , and they all felt a great responsibility , as Masons , to see that in no manner whatever had Masonry tarnished during the rule of its Grand Master . ( Hear , hear . ) Bro . the Earl of WARWICK in giving the toast of " The M . W . Pro Grand Master , the Earl of Euston ; the R . W . Dep . Grand Master , Viscount Dungarvan ; and the rest of the Grand Officers , Present and Past , "
said the meeting was honoured with the presence of the Earl of Euston , whose energetic services to Masonry they all appreciated . There were many Masons who gave much of their time and many of the good things of their life to Masonry ; but he did not think there was a Mason who worked harder in the cause of Freemasonry than the Karl of Euston . There were
present also other Grand Lodge officers whom they were proud to see and whose honours and orders of distinction which they wore had been earned meritoriously in the service ol the Craft . No doubt the works for which those honours were bestowed had given much happiness to many a poor suffering Freemason . ( Applause . )
The Earl of EUSTON , M . W . Pro . G . Master , in reply , thanked the Earl of Warwick for the kind words he had used in respect to what he ( Lord Euston ) had done in Masonry ; but he could assure the company that what he had done in every station he had been in he had done to the best of h ' : s ability . In whatever ruling he had given he had tried to be just and fair to all . It was not just to give him all the credit , because no man could rule
over such a vast body of Mark Masons unless he was supported ably and cordially by the Grand Officers , as he had been ever since he had been Pro G . Master . With their assistance Mark Masonry had improved and succeeded , and he could assure the brethren that as long as he lived and was able to serve Masonry he should do so to the best of his ability , and with every intention of bringing advantage to the Order . ( Cheers . )
The Earl of EUSTON next proposed " The Earl of Warwick and Brooke , Provincial Grand Master for Essex , Chairman ol the day . " He said Lord Warwick had come forward to preside over the Festival , and he hoped that when his Lordship heard the lists read out he would not regret having
consented to take the chair . No doubt the result of the Festival would be satisfactory . Lord Warwick had ruled over Essex most ably and successfully in the Craft , and the other day he was installed first Grand Master of Essex in Mark Masonry . Long might he live in honour to Masonry , and long mig ht all good things come to him ! ( Cheers . )
Thc Earl of WARWICK , in acknowledging the toast , said a man had sometimes the privilege of taking the chair at public meetings , but one thing of which he might be assured was that at Masonic meetings , whatever his own feelings mig ht be as to the manner in which he fulfilled his duties , he was sure to be treated well by his brethren . He felt very diffident about sitting there that night as their Chairman , because he had been only a few
weeks Provincial Grand Mark Master of Essex , so that his new province could hardly hope to make the show in Mark Masonry it would like to have done . Yet the Maik Masons of that province felt that at no distant date they would be able to do their duty to the next chairman of the Mark Benevolent Fund . It was a pleasure to see at a table like that the presence of ladies . Many Masonic entertainments and festivals were restricted to
Masons , and naturally , Masons having pledged their honour that they would in no way confide their secrets to any but Masons they were obliged to withhold from ladies many of those secrets which were so dear to them . It was very kind of ladies to forgive them their shortcomings and to consent to grace these gatherings with their company . So long as the feminine world was favourable to Masonry , so long would Masonry be a force and power in the
land . Even in these days of great liberality it was difficult to collect money as there were so many calls on people ' s purses , and it was marvellouswithout sounding their own trumpets—how Masons came forward year after year to support the Charities . ( Hear , hear . ) Gatherings like the present were not the occasion for long speeches . Mr . Choate , the American Ambassador , was very witty the other day in a speech he made . The ladies
recalled it to his ( Lord Warwick's ) mind . They knew how ladies were coming to ihe fro ; t , even aspiring to take positions in the Houses of Parliament , and in the Councils . Mr . Choate was asked to say a few words in the presence of some ladies . He lifted his glass to his lips and said , " Woman , formerly our superior , now our equal . " ( Laughter . ) It was
very witty and he got out of a great difficulty . He ( Lord Warwick ) would now getout of his difficulties by telling them this story . The Earl of WARWICK , in proposing " Success to the Mark Benevolent Fund , " said they were met together for the purpose of supporting that Fund , Until the list of subscriptions was announced , he should feel very

nervous . He felt , however , that the list would be satisfactory , because there was not a Charity which could be better supported , for there was no expense connected with it , as there was in the Craft Charities , where large buildings had to be supported . Those buildings were necessary no doubt ; but the Mark Benevolent Fund enabled the parents or guardians of children
to educate them at home . As time went on the Masonic public would more completely realise the importance of this Mark Benevolent Fund , and give it additional support . If his list was as large as , or a little larger , than the list of last year , he should be most grateful to the brethren who had so kindly supported him . He thanked the Stewards most heartily for their exertions . ( Cheers . ) Bro . C . F . MATIER , P . G . W ., G . Sec , Hon . Sec . Board of Stewards , then read the following
