Charters were granted lor six HCAV chapters and the removal of others sanctioned . Comp . Richard Horton Smith , K . C , the ncAvly appointed President of the General Committee , paid a warm tribute of regard and respect to the memory of his predecessor , the late Comp . Sir George D . Harriswhich Grand Chapter

, sympathetically endorsed . The Grand Registrar explained to Grand Chapter the effect on private chapters of the rule recently adopted by Grand Lodge for the automatic exclusion of brethren who were three years in arrear with their subscription , showing

that it applied equally to chapters . Comp . Henry Garrod , P . A . G . D . C , successfully renewed his attempts to carry a resolution to alter the practice hitherto adopted of opening private chapters in the presence of Principals only , and the decision appeared to give much

satisfaction to an overwhelming majority of those present . Grand Chapter was then closed in ancient and solemn form .
