W . BRO . FITZHERBERT WRIGHT .
W BRO . FITZHERBERT WRIGHT , P . M . of Okeover Lodge , No . 1324 , has been nominated for the honourable post of Grand Treasurer of England . Bro . Fitzherbert Wright has been a Mason for over 30
years . He is a Past Provincial Senior Grand Warden and Past Provincial Junior Grand Deacon of his
Province . He has been , and still is , a generous supporter and patron of the three great Masonic
Charities . Bro . Wright is a Banker and Iron Master , and a Justice of the Peace and Deputy Lieutenant of
Derbyshire , and has held during the past year the high and honourable position of High Sheriff of
his County . At the last Quarterly Communication W . Bro . Thomas Fraser , P . M . 2488 , in nominating
Bro . Wright , said : " I rise with a great deal of pleasure to nominate Worshipful Brother Fitzherbert
Wright for the office of Grand Treasurer of England during the ensuing year . He is a Justice ? of the
Peace and Deputy Lieutenant for Derbyshire , and has filled the office of High Sheriff of that County during the past year . He has been an
active Mason for upwards of thirty years ; he is a Past Grand Senior Warden and Past Grand J . of Derbyshire , has been a consistent supporter of our Charities , and is a Patron of each of our three great Masonic Institutions .
" Brethren , Brother Wright appeals to the whole body 1 of the ; Craft ,- whether wearing purple- or blue , on the dais or on the ; floor , London or Provincial , and without entering [ into further details of what he and his family have done for
our charities , I respectfully submit that his position in the Craft and in the County of Derbyshire entitle him to receive the great honour which he seeks at
your hands . It is , therefore , with the greatest possible pleasure that I nominate him , and I am sure that if it is your goodwill to elect Brother
Fitzherbert Wright to the post for which he is so eminently qualified that election will in every way redound to the honour
and welfare of the Craft . " The Provincial
Grand Master of Derbyshire , His Grace the Duke of Devonshire , K . G ., is the President of Bro . Wright's
Committee , and he has at least 350 Provincial Grand Masters , Deputy Provincial Grand Masters , Present and Past Grand Officers , and other influential
brethren , on his list of Vice-Presidents . Bro . Wright has nearly 4000 Brethren on his General Com .
mittee , all anxious to support the principle of the Provinces having their share in the only honour that any ordinary Mason can be elected to .
One seldom hears of a lantern lecture in connection with Freemasonry , and but for the inclemency of the weather and the counter attraction at Wimborne , it is certain that brethren from all the neighbouring lodges would have attended in large numbers recently at Bournemouth to hear
Bro . W . H . Reed , P . Prov . Grand Treasurer of Middlesex , give an account of a Masonic trip lie took a few years since to the Cradle of Freemasonry—the Holy Land . The lecture , which was given in the Masonic Hall , under the auspices of the Lodge of Instruction , and was illustrated by
lantern views , shown by Bro . E . R . Whitfield , the librarian , was intensely interesting and instructive , especially to members of the Royal Arch , and so highly was it appreciated by those who had the good fortune to be present , that the hope was expressed that Bro . Reed might be induced to repeat it under more favourable conditions , and to a larger audience .
The Glasgow Evening News , whose Masonic intelligence is furnished by The Mallei , to whom we owe our thanks for many appreciative notices of our journal , has the following observations on the change of proprietorship : — " The restrictions which were recently placed on Masonic
publications by the Grand Lodge of England have resulted in Bro . Thos . Hutchinson , of Messrs . Spencer & Co ., London , relinquishing his interest in THE MASONIC ILLUSTRATED . In the future the publication will be issued by Messrs . Warrington , St . Martin ' s Lane , London , W . C , to whom the
copyright has been disposed . THE MASOXIC ILLUSTRATED , established three-and-a-half years ago , has enjoyed a deservedly large measure of support , both at home and abroad , and it is reassuring that Bro . Hutchinson is confident that the new proprietors will continue the publication with spirit and enterprise . "
