Masonic Notes .

The late annual meeting at Runcorn of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Cheshire was a great success , both as regards attendance and the several reports that were handed in of the work done during the past year .

These reports we had the pleasure of commenting upon quite recently , and , therefore , we need not say more respecting them than that our Cheshire brethren appear to have accepted the recommendations of the

newly-organised Committee of Benevolence , while the Provincial Grand Master was delighted beyond measure that they had so readily taken to heart the advice he gave them at last year ' s gathering at Stockport .

It is not surprising , indeed , that Bro . Lord Egerton of Tatton should have expressed himself well satisfied with the labours of the j > astyear . The new Committee of Benevolence has undoubtedly done its work admirably , and we trust it will derive encouragement from its

past success to continue in the path it has marked out for itself . We have frequently had occasion to apologise for the comparative smallness of the contributions from this Province to the Central Masonic Charities on the ground that it was fully justified in
