the Provincial Grand Lodge was opened at 2 . 15 p . m ., and after the roll of the lodges in the province was read and responded to by their respective representatives , the R . W . Prov . Grand Master and the W . Dep . Prov . Grand Master were each saluted in ancient form . The minutes of Provincial Grand Lodge , held at Southampton , August 19 th , 1886 , and Special Grand Lodge , held at Winchester , Jan . 31 st , 1887 , were read and confirmed .
The Dep . Prov . Grand Master , W . Bro . J . E . LE FEUVRE , moved the adoption of the Prov . Grand Treasurer ' s accounts , remarking that it was a source of gratification that although , owing to the fact of their Provincial Grand Master having presided at the Festival of the Royal Benevolent In-iiiulion , they had voted 250 guineas to its funds , they had a balance ol ^ 240 ns . 8 . 1 . Fifty guineas had been paid since the accounts were printed to the other Institutions , so lhat they now had a balance at the bank of ^ 190 . * W . Bro . EVE , Grand Treasurer of England , seconded , and it was unanimously carried ,
Provincial Grand Lodge Of Hampshire And The Isle Of Wight.
Bro . J . GIEVE proposed , and Bro . DAMPIER-CHILD seconded , the re . election of Bro . R . J . Rastrick as Prov . Grand Treasurer , who was unani . mously elected . Bro . RASTRICK returned thanks , and impressed upon the brethren his not wishing to monopolise and hold that office indefinitely , and if at any time any other brother wished to hold that office he would willingly give way , and he himself would only accept the Treasurership by the unanimous vote . ( Applause . )
Bro . E . GOBLE , Prov . Grand Secretary , proposed , and Bro . GLASSPOOL seconded , that the Committee to audit the Prov . Grand Treasurer's accounts should consist of the Dep . Prov . Grand Master , the Prov . Grand Wardens , Prov . Grand Secretary , and the W . Masters of the various lodges , which was carried unanimously .
The report ol the Provincial Grand Lodge Committee was read . They had met on September 25 th , 1886 , January 29 th , and July 30 th , 1887 . ^ 100 was waiting tor investment , and was invested in New Zealand Bonds similar to those already held . The Provincial candidates were adopted , and
through the exertions of the Committee and the generous support of the brethren of the province generally , were elected—in October , 1886 , one girl and one boy , April , 1887 , three girls and one boy , May , 1887 , two women . The candidate adopted for the Girls' School in October next was Ethel Joliffe .
The DEPUTY PROVINCIAL GRAND MASTER proposed the adoption ol the report , and said that the result of the election to the Girls' School could not but be highly satisfactory to the province , for last April they had three girls admitted to the School . The result of their operations had been that during the year they had succeeded in ensuring ths election of four ifirls , two boys , and two widows to the benefits of their Masonic Charities ,
He submitted that that was not an unsatistactory state of things to report to their annual meeting , and he trusted that if the circumstances should require it during the coming twelve months their success at Freemasons ' Hall would be as great as it had been during the past year . Some complaints were made last year that the votes of the province had not come in so well as could have been hoped for . But he thought that with the present
satisfactory result they might congratulate the lodges generally on having supported to the utmost the candidates adopted by the Provincial Grand Lodge Committee . ( Applause . ) Bro . A . KNIGHT PRESCOTT seconded , and it was unanimously adopted . The Prov . G . M ., W . Bro . VV . W . B . BEACH , M . P ., said it was customary for Masons to congratulate a brother who attained a high office , and he
thought that when one was connected with their own county it was all the more matter for congratulation . He wished to propose a vote of congratulation to an eminent member of the Craft , who had ju ^ t received the hi ghest dignity in the county which it was in the power of ihe Sovereign to bestow —he referred to their Pro Grand Master , the . Earl of Carnarvon , who had been appointed Lord Lieutenant of Hampshire . ( A pplause . ) They knew
the eminent services he had rendered to the Craft for many a bygone day . He had always taken a very warm interest in its prosperity , and done everything he could to advance it . He presided over another province and acted as Pro Grand Master , giving his assistance to their Grand Master , the Prince of Wales . He had now been called to the high office of Lord Lieutenant , which had many responsibilities attached to it , and he was sure
that they had every reason to hope that he would so discharge those duties as to meet with general approbation . He was sure he would do his utmost to deserve the confidence which had been reposed in him , and that he would be able with his talent and impartiality to well discharge the duties of the very high office which had been entrusted to him . They all regretted the
death of the Marquis of Winchester , who had for so many years fulfilled the high duties of Lord Lieutenant in a manner which gave general satisfaction . But as a vacancy had occurred he was sure it would give them great pleasure to agree to a vote of congratulation to their eminent brother , the Earl of Carnarvon , on succeeding to the pobi . ion . ( Applause . )
Bro . WYATT , in seconding , said he would like to add to what had already been said that they had the honour of having the Prov . Grand Master at their head who initialed the M . W . the Pro Grand Master , the Earl of Carnarvon . ( Applause . ) Bro . J . E . LE FEUVRE , Deputy Pro / . G . M ., in supporting the resolution , said the Earl of Carnarvon was esteemed by all of them as Pro
Grand Master and occupying a very high position in the county , and he hoped that as his lordship was leaving for another latitude to recruit his health he would return belore many months in improved health . ( Applause . ) Tne resolution was carried . The Prov . Grand Master then appointed his Grand Officevs for the ensuing year as follows : —

the Provincial Grand Lodge was opened at 2 . 15 p . m ., and after the roll of the lodges in the province was read and responded to by their respective representatives , the R . W . Prov . Grand Master and the W . Dep . Prov . Grand Master were each saluted in ancient form . The minutes of Provincial Grand Lodge , held at Southampton , August 19 th , 1886 , and Special Grand Lodge , held at Winchester , Jan . 31 st , 1887 , were read and confirmed .
The Dep . Prov . Grand Master , W . Bro . J . E . LE FEUVRE , moved the adoption of the Prov . Grand Treasurer ' s accounts , remarking that it was a source of gratification that although , owing to the fact of their Provincial Grand Master having presided at the Festival of the Royal Benevolent In-iiiulion , they had voted 250 guineas to its funds , they had a balance ol ^ 240 ns . 8 . 1 . Fifty guineas had been paid since the accounts were printed to the other Institutions , so lhat they now had a balance at the bank of ^ 190 . * W . Bro . EVE , Grand Treasurer of England , seconded , and it was unanimously carried ,
Provincial Grand Lodge Of Hampshire And The Isle Of Wight.
Bro . J . GIEVE proposed , and Bro . DAMPIER-CHILD seconded , the re . election of Bro . R . J . Rastrick as Prov . Grand Treasurer , who was unani . mously elected . Bro . RASTRICK returned thanks , and impressed upon the brethren his not wishing to monopolise and hold that office indefinitely , and if at any time any other brother wished to hold that office he would willingly give way , and he himself would only accept the Treasurership by the unanimous vote . ( Applause . )
Bro . E . GOBLE , Prov . Grand Secretary , proposed , and Bro . GLASSPOOL seconded , that the Committee to audit the Prov . Grand Treasurer's accounts should consist of the Dep . Prov . Grand Master , the Prov . Grand Wardens , Prov . Grand Secretary , and the W . Masters of the various lodges , which was carried unanimously .
The report ol the Provincial Grand Lodge Committee was read . They had met on September 25 th , 1886 , January 29 th , and July 30 th , 1887 . ^ 100 was waiting tor investment , and was invested in New Zealand Bonds similar to those already held . The Provincial candidates were adopted , and
through the exertions of the Committee and the generous support of the brethren of the province generally , were elected—in October , 1886 , one girl and one boy , April , 1887 , three girls and one boy , May , 1887 , two women . The candidate adopted for the Girls' School in October next was Ethel Joliffe .
The DEPUTY PROVINCIAL GRAND MASTER proposed the adoption ol the report , and said that the result of the election to the Girls' School could not but be highly satisfactory to the province , for last April they had three girls admitted to the School . The result of their operations had been that during the year they had succeeded in ensuring ths election of four ifirls , two boys , and two widows to the benefits of their Masonic Charities ,
He submitted that that was not an unsatistactory state of things to report to their annual meeting , and he trusted that if the circumstances should require it during the coming twelve months their success at Freemasons ' Hall would be as great as it had been during the past year . Some complaints were made last year that the votes of the province had not come in so well as could have been hoped for . But he thought that with the present
satisfactory result they might congratulate the lodges generally on having supported to the utmost the candidates adopted by the Provincial Grand Lodge Committee . ( Applause . ) Bro . A . KNIGHT PRESCOTT seconded , and it was unanimously adopted . The Prov . G . M ., W . Bro . VV . W . B . BEACH , M . P ., said it was customary for Masons to congratulate a brother who attained a high office , and he
thought that when one was connected with their own county it was all the more matter for congratulation . He wished to propose a vote of congratulation to an eminent member of the Craft , who had ju ^ t received the hi ghest dignity in the county which it was in the power of ihe Sovereign to bestow —he referred to their Pro Grand Master , the . Earl of Carnarvon , who had been appointed Lord Lieutenant of Hampshire . ( A pplause . ) They knew
the eminent services he had rendered to the Craft for many a bygone day . He had always taken a very warm interest in its prosperity , and done everything he could to advance it . He presided over another province and acted as Pro Grand Master , giving his assistance to their Grand Master , the Prince of Wales . He had now been called to the high office of Lord Lieutenant , which had many responsibilities attached to it , and he was sure
that they had every reason to hope that he would so discharge those duties as to meet with general approbation . He was sure he would do his utmost to deserve the confidence which had been reposed in him , and that he would be able with his talent and impartiality to well discharge the duties of the very high office which had been entrusted to him . They all regretted the
death of the Marquis of Winchester , who had for so many years fulfilled the high duties of Lord Lieutenant in a manner which gave general satisfaction . But as a vacancy had occurred he was sure it would give them great pleasure to agree to a vote of congratulation to their eminent brother , the Earl of Carnarvon , on succeeding to the pobi . ion . ( Applause . )
Bro . WYATT , in seconding , said he would like to add to what had already been said that they had the honour of having the Prov . Grand Master at their head who initialed the M . W . the Pro Grand Master , the Earl of Carnarvon . ( Applause . ) Bro . J . E . LE FEUVRE , Deputy Pro / . G . M ., in supporting the resolution , said the Earl of Carnarvon was esteemed by all of them as Pro
Grand Master and occupying a very high position in the county , and he hoped that as his lordship was leaving for another latitude to recruit his health he would return belore many months in improved health . ( Applause . ) Tne resolution was carried . The Prov . Grand Master then appointed his Grand Officevs for the ensuing year as follows : —
