The Mother-City Of American Freemasonry.

that early day , as a matter of fact , the Lodges of both Massachusetts and Carolina were subordinates to the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania . " As to whence this important evidence has been obtained , Bro . SACHSEannounced that it was found in " FRANKLIN ' daily commercial account book and first ledger , " on the fly leaf of

which is written " BEXJN . FRANKLIN Journal , began ( sic ) July 4 , 1 730 . " This book was found " among a lot of FRANKLIN ' papers and material , " where it had reposed " for over a century in thc archives of the American Philosophical Society at Philadelphia , of which FRANKLIN was the first President . " On coming across

this old account , Bro . SACHSE at once recognised its importance and value , and the results of his examination were communicated to the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania in December last , and will be found in the minutes of its Proceedings for

189 8 , many of the entries in the account book being reproduced in facsimile in the Report . As to the entries themselves , however , which Bro . SACHSE declared to be so strongly confirmatory of the position taken up b y the late Bro . MACCALLA , we must reserve a description of them for a second article .

Provincial Grand Lodge Of East Lancashire.

PROVINCIAL GRAND LODGE OF EAST LANCASHIRE .

The annual meeting of the above Provincial Grand Lodge was held in the Queen-street Schools , Oldham , on the 17 th inst . There was a fairly large galheiing of Provincial Grand Officers , Present and Past , and of brethren from all but three of the 113 ledges wh'ch are now embraced by the province . One of the last offic al acts of the late Prov . G . Master , Bro . Col . Staikie , was to issue his mandate for the meeting , and afler his death it was decided not to inteifere with the date of the fixture . Bro . C

R . N . Beswicke-Rojds , Dep . P . G . M ., presided . Bro . Abraham Clegg , P . P . G . W „ acted as D . P . G . M ., and Bros . C . D . Cheetham , P . P . G . W ., and E . G . Horwood , P . P . G . W ., were in the Wardens ' ch . ihs . Bro . J . Kenyon , M . P ., Prov . G . W ., wrote apologising for his absence on the ground of pressure of his Parliamentary duties . Among members of the Grand

Lodge of England present were Bros . J . Kenyon ( Bollon ) , G . Sld . Br . ; John Chadwick , P . G . S . B . ; and Jas . Newton , P . G . S . B ., Prov . G . Sec . Ihe lodge was in mourning for the hte Pro Grand Master , the Marl of Lathom , Prov . G . Master of West Lancashire , as well as for its own deceased head .

Before the roll cf the lodges was called , ihe DEI-. PROV . G . MASTER said he thought they ought to give expression to ttuir sense of the loss which the ptovince had lately sustained by the death of their late Prov . G . Master . Their late chief loved Masonry , not only on account of its mystic rites and its points , but he loved it principally because of its Charity . ( Hear , hear . ) They need not look far from Oldham to see where his pet institution commenced

, namely , Ihe K st Lancashire Systematic Masonic Educational ar . d Benevolent Institution . Colonel Starkie was the starter and founder cf that Charily , and he supported it to the very best of his ability , not c ly with his Masonic -kill , but also with his purse . Their late Master was installed as head cf the province in 1870 , when the province numbered 77 lodges . He had left it with 113 lodges , and somewhere close 5000

upon members . That showed that he was " the right man in the right place . " Whatever duty he undertook as a Mason or as a mm he did his best to fulfil it thoroughly . At their meeting in HulmeTown Hall , in November last , Colonel Starkie moved a vote of condolence with the family ol the late Eat 1 of Lathom , and little did they then think that so melancholy a lask would have row to be pei formed in his own casr . ( Hear lc < r ) He moved that a vote of condolence be forwarded lo Mrs . Stark e , and also entered on the minutss .

Provincial Grand Lodge Of East Lancashire.

Bro . VV . GOLDTHORI ' , P . P . G . R ., said he very heartily seconded t ^ e vote that had been so feelingly proposed from the chair . He had been asked to do so , perhaps , because of the somewhat peculiar position which he held towards Bro . Starkie . He had the good fortune to be Prov . G . 0 ; ganist when Bro . Starkie was installed Prov . G . M . in 18 70 , and since then they had always been on friendly and intimate terms , and many were the acts of

kindness he had received from their late chief in that period . He ( Bro . Goldthorpe ) was possibly one of the oldest of the Prov . G . Officers present , and he could say with certainty that the province had sustained one of the heaviest losses that could have befallen it . He did not know who could fill the vacant position with the same good effect as Col . Starkie . Not only

was re a good figure head , belonging to a very good old family , but he had identifi d himself with all the Masonic interests in the province from the time when he came into it . Owing to his great energy in Masonic matters , the provii ce had reached its present high position among the provinces . In season and out of season he never ceased to look after its interest . ( Hear , hear . )

The resolution was passed unanimously , the brethren signifying assent by standing a few moments in silence . Bro . Yv . ALCOCK presented his report as P . G . Treas . He said the balance in the bank was not so large as last year , but this was readily accounted for by the special donation of 200 guineas last year to the Bays ' School . The amount in hand was £ 236 , and it was a pleasing fact that not a single lodge in the province was behind in its payments . ( Applause . ) The Auditors , Bros . R . H . Beswick and VV . A . Bover , presented their

report , and those of the Charity Committee and of the Election Committee were read by the Prov . G . Secretary . There had been no candidates from the province in the recent election to the Boys' and the Girls' Schools in London , but the Election Committee had disposed of all the available votes at those elections in a way which would ultimately benefit the province . They regretted that no fewer than 25 lodges had neglected to send their papers , and that 56 votes for girls and 100 for boys had thereby been lost .

The ACTING P . S . G . W ., in moving the confirmation of the two reports last mentioned , urged on the Charity Representatives the importance of their duty in seeing to the collection of election papers and their despatch to the Provincial Grand Secretary . The Election Committee would endeavour this week to elect an old brother to the Benevolent Institution in London , although in that case six lodges had so far negiected to send in papers representing nearly 120 votes . Bro . HOOPER seconded the motion , and it was agreed to .

Five brethren were re-elected on the General Committee of the Systematic Institution , after which , on the motion of Bro . HOLLINGWORTH , seconded by Bro . F . W . LEAN , Bro . John Chadwick , P . M . 467 , was unanimously elected Prov . G . Treasurer . He was subsequently invested by the Prov . G . Master in the chair , along with the following , who had been appointed as Prov . G . Officers for the ensuing year :

. Bro . J . E . Piatt , 1 S 6 S ... ... ... Prov . S . G . W . ,, S . F . Simons , 1534 ... ... ... Prov . J . G . W . „ Rev . W . H . Healey , 344 ... ... > p r r , „ Rev . J .

On the motion of Bro . CHEETHAM , seconded by Bro . PACKMAN , supported by Bro . J . W . KENYON , P . P . G . Supt . of Wks ., a vote of condolence was passed with the family of the late Bro . J . T . Newbold , P . P . G . W . A collection was taken , realising £ \ S 9 s ., to be devoted to a Cnaritable object , and before Piovinuial Grand Lodge was closed the brethren stood whilst the Dead March in " Saul" was played in memory of Colonel Starkie by Bro .

Consecration Of The Haywra (Mark) Lodge, No. 525.

CONSECRATION OF THE HAYWRA ( MARK ) LODGE , No . 525 .

It is our pleasant duty to chronicle the formation of a new Mark lodge in the West Riding of Yorkshire . Masonic activity may be said to characterise this busy province , and seldom does a year pass without some

addition to its roll of I ' reemasons lodges . Last year it was the Craft that was increasing its numbers ; this time it is in the Mark Degree that advance is made . Harrogate is a thriving and rapidly increasing town , and it is not surprising to find that as it grows , its Masonic enterprise also extends . We published in our columns some 12 months ago particulars
