The Installation Of Lord Henniker As Provincial Grand Master For Suffolk.

Prov . Grand Officers entered the hall , and opened the Provincial Grand Lodee according to ancient custom . The V . W . the Deputy Grand Master was then saluted in the usual form under the direction of Bro . W . Clarke , Prov . G . D . C . ; Bro . W . Boby , P . P . G . S . W ., acted as Prov . G . S . W ., and Bro . J . M . Harvey took his chair as Prov . G . J . W .

The minutes of a Special Grand Lodge , held in consequence of the funeral of Lord Waveney , were taken as read , as were also those of another lodge at which it was reported that H . R . H . the Grand Master of England had appointed the Right Hon . Lord Henniker to succeed Lord Waveney . Bro . N . TRACY , Prov . G . Secretary , then read the niinutes , which were put by the brethren and confirmed . He afterwards announced that he had

received letters of apology for non-attendance , through inability , from Bros . Lord Suffield , Prov . G . M . of Norfolk ; C . Dalrymple , M . P . ; Lord Elcho , M . P . ; Capt . Philips , P . G . D . ; A . H . Moyes , P . P . G . S . W . Cambs . ; T . J . Railing , P . G . S . Essex ; A . Spencer , P . G . S . Kent ; F . R . W . Hedges , Sec , of the Girls' School ; G . S . Johnson , Rev . Richard Peek , Rev . J . F . Wilkinson , P . G . Chap ., and Major Hessey , P . G . S . W .

The Rev . C . J . MARTYN afterwards said the brethren were assembled that day under what he had previously called in Provincial Grand Lodge exceptional circumstances . Since the last regular meetingof the Provincial Grand Lodge it had pleased the Most High to call to Himself their late beloved , respected , and esteemed Provincial Grand Master , Lord Waveney , and the M . W . Grand Master , H . R . H . the Prince of Wales , in the exercise

of his prerogative , had appointed Lord Henniker to succeed their late brother as Provincial Grand Master . He was sure that the announcement had given the greatest pleasure to all the Masons of Suffolk . When the lime was fixed for the installation of Lord Henniker , certain circumstances had delayed the ceremony up to the present time ; but the M . W . G . Master , being unable himself to be present , had appointed one of the oldest of

all the Provincial Grand Masters , in the person of Lord Amherst , to come down to Ipswich to install Lord Henniker in the place of the Provincial Grand Master , and Lord Amherst , with his usual kindness and with the spirit of true fraternal feeling , acceded to the request , and was wilh them that day to perform that important ceremony . He was sure , before asking Lord Amherst to take the chair which he ( the Rev . C . J . Martyn ) onl y

temporarily occupied , he should be consulting not only lus own feelings , but the feelings of every brother present , if , as their spokesman , he tendered all their deep and hearty thanks to Lord Amherst for coming among them—( cheers)—and assured him that they gave him a most hearty , fraternal , and , he hoped they would be able to say , most hospitable welcome . The rev . brother then requested Earl Amherst to lake the chair and install the Provincial Grand Master .

The R . W . the INSTALLING MASTER , having taken the chair , was duly saluted . He then said the brethren had already heard from the D . P . G . M . the circumstances under which the Grand Lodge of Suffolk had assembled , but it might not be out of place for him , as the humble representative of H . R . H . the Grand Master , to express what all good Masons felt , sorrow at the occasion which had brought them together . The late Prov . Grand

Master had for more than a quarter of a century , with great ability and great Masonic zeal , presided over this important province , which had made important strides under his rule . When at last it pleased the G . A . O . T . U . to take him lo Himself , he departed with the respect and affection of all those over whom he had so long ruled . The Grand Master had chosen to

appoint as his successor a brother , another good and worthy Mason . Bro . Lord Henniker had been well known to all the Masons in the province , where he had held high rank . In other branches of Masonry he held still higher rank . In all those offices he had discharged his duties in a manner which gave them every confidence that he would faithfully carry out the duties of the still more important office to which it had pleased his Royal Highness to call him . ( Applause . )

It was then announced that the Provincial Grand Master designate , Lord Henniker , had arrived , whereupon the acting Grand Master demanded that Lord Henniker ' s patent of appointment should be sent in to him . The Director of Ceremonies having retired , shortly afterwards returned wilh the patent of appointment , and presented it to Lord Amherst , who examined it , and directed a deputation of seven Masters or Past Masters to accompany the Provincial Grand Director of Ceremonies and escort Lord Henniker

into the Grand Lodge and introduce him . The deputation , consisting of Bros . S . Allerton , W . M . 71 : E . Smith , W . M . 81 ; V . D . Colchester , W . M . 114 ; A . W . Cook , W . M . 225 ; C . H . U . Howard , W . M . 332 ; J . M . Franks , W . M . 376 ; C . H . White , W . M . 3 S 8 ; and Bro . VVilliam Clarke , in compliance with the commands of the acting Grand Master , retired , and returned with Lord Henniker , all the brethren honouring his lordship ' s arrival by standing .

The PROV . GRAND SECRETARY , for the information of the brethren , read the patent of appointment , and the Prov . Grand Chaplain offered

prayer . Lord HENNIKER , having , in reply to Lord AMHERST , stated that he could conscientiously accept the office of Provincial Grand Master , formally undertook to carry out the duties of his high office , and having been invested

by Lord Amherst with the gorgeous insignia of the ofiice , was placed in the chair , and received his first congratulations from Lord Amherst , who took his seat on the left of the Prov . Grand Master . The Rev . C . J . Martyn and Bro . F . A . Philbrick , Q . C , were the next to congratulate his lordship , who was saluted by the lodge in conformity with the rules of the Order .

The newly-installed PROV . G . MASTER then announced that he had that day issued a patent under his hand appointing Bro . Martyn Deputy Prov . Grand Master of the Province . The Right Worshipful Provincial Grand Master , Lord HENNIKER , addressing the Rev . C J . Martyn , said : Very Worshipful Bro . Martyn , I can assure you I have very great pleasure in " appointing you Deputy

Provincial Grand Master . ( Applause . ) On the agenda it is said I am to address you on the duties of your office , but I beg leave on this occasion to do nothing of the kind . We all know how much Masonry owes to you , not only in this province , but throughout England . We all know how much our Masonic Charities owe to your zeal and generosity . ( Applause . ) I think you will agree with me that in the whole of this important province I could have made no better choice . ( Applause . ) Brethren , in taking upon

me the responsibility of this hi gh office , I can assure you it is more than a pleasure to me to appoint Bro . Martyn as my nearest adviser , and not only as my nearest adviser , but also as a well-tried friend of many years pastone , brethren , who is as deservedly respected outside as he is inside the lodge . ( Applause . ) Bro . Martyn knows quite well what I mean when I say I am heartily glad to appoint him lo this office , and to continue to be connected with him as in the past—to be connected wilh him in more
