[ We do not hold ourselves responsible for , or even approving of , the oplnlonsexpresscd by ourcorrespondents , but we wish In a sprit of fair play to all to permit—within certain necessary limits—free discussion ] — PORTRAITS OF PROVINCIAL GRAND OFFICERS . To the Editor of the "Freemason . " Dear Sir and Brother , The Freemasons of Kent are rejoicing in the possession of copies of a very nice portraitof Lord Holmesdale , Prov . Grand Master , lithographed , in colours , by Messrs .
Maclure , Macdonald , and Co ., of Tower-buildings , Queen Victoria-street , City , and I feel sure that the members of lodges in Middlesex would be very glad to have an equally good representation of the well-known genial face of Str Francis Burdett . The cost per copy would be small if a number of copies were subscribed for ; Coo would cost about £ 50 . —Fraternally yours ,
HENRY LOVEGROVE , P . P . G . S . of VV . Middx . A SOLDIER'S DAUGHTER—AN APPEAL . To the Editor of the "Freemason . " Dear Sir and Brother , Will you give me space to point out that the claims of Minnie Woodward , the only soldier ' s daughter who is a candidate for election to the School , upon the consideration of the Craft are very imperfectly set out in the printed
list ? Her late father , William vYoodward , described as " canteen steward ; " was a pensioned serjeant-major , whose services in the regimental canteen were retained by his corps on his taking his discharge . Serjeant-Major VVoodwardwasborn in the 3 ist Regiment , and served with it in the Crimean , the North China , and Taeping campaigns . He was also a good Mason , and having been initiated in the Inhabitants Lodge , Gibraltar ,
in 185 S , was in the same year a founder of the Meridian Lodge , now No . 743 , attached to the 31 st Regiment , and a subscriber till his decease . Unfortunately , the members of military lodges are without the pale of those provincial organisations which do so much to ensure success at our
elections . Possibly , however , this appeal , feeble though it be , may be read by some military brethren , with votes as yet unpromised , and to such I can heartily recommend the case . —Yours fraternally , R . F . GOULD , Late . Lieut . 31 st Regiment , P . G . D ., P . M . 743 .

Masonic Notes and Queries .
3 i 2 j THE YORK MASONIC EXHIBITION . 1 am pleased to see that Bro . Whyti .-liead is favouring us with more particulars of the remarkable collection of Masonic curiosities exhibited at York last month , and so there is no need for me ro say more on the subject , as I at first intended , especially as he is better fitted for that duty than anyone else . There is , however , one jewel alluded to by " Masonic Student" of which I can speak from
having seen it . I noted it in the catalogue and through Bro . VVhytehcad ' s introduction 1 wrote Bro . Major MacGachen , the owner , who kindly forwarded it for my inspection . It is a brass medal , the Masonic tools and emblems being in bold relief . Its shape is unusual , being virtually an arch supported by two columns , and another arch from the foundation of the pillars extending southwards . The mottos "Amor , Honor , et Justitia , " and "Virtuti ct
Silentia are often met with , but not so the one in I'rench " Nous Vivons sur l ' equare . " I have only met with the latter once before , and that was on a silver oval medal owned by a brother at Falmouth . I take them both to be about a century old . 1 have written Bro . J . S . Cumberland about some medals he exhibited with others from his capital collection . The next great exhibition is to be at Worcester in August . VV . J . HUGHAN .
