In 1857 another Masonic veteran entered the ranks of the Globe Lodge in the person of Thomas Alexander Adams the well known bandmaster—equally celebrated in the musical world and in the Masonic—he joined from the Doinatic Lodge and was appointed Senior Deacon the
lollowing year . In 18 59 he was promoted to the office of Junior Warden . While in that chair he was elected Grand Steward for 1850-00 , and was duly presented at the ensuing Grand Festival as the representative of the Globe Lodge , but at a meeting of the Lodge on the 17 th of November following , " A communication from the Grand Secretary was read
requesting the Lodge to proceed to the election of another member to fill the office of Grand Steward in place of Br . T . A . Adams , whom the M . W . Grand Master has appointed to the newly created of / ice of Grand Assistant Pursuivant . " Br . John Bennett , P . M ., was thereupon elected in his stead .
