Sir Charles Lemon , Bart ., F . R . S ., & c , was initiated in the " Love and Honour " on August 31 st , 1841 , and became the W . M . on January 31 st , 18 43 , during which year this distinguished brother was appointed Prow G . AI . of Cornwall , in succession to Sir John St . Aubyn , deceased . Later dignitaries have been members , or honorary

members , of this old lodge , which continues to hold its own as the Senior Atelier in the county , and was never more respected than now . Bro . Osborne ' s " History of Freemasonry in Cornwall " ( 1901 ) contains a number of interesting particulars of several

extinct lodges , beginning" with the one held at the " Ship , " St . Ives , constituted July 16 th , 1765 , and continued to work , with more or less regularity , until its erasure in 1828 . The lodge also ai : Redruth , which was warranted in 1754 , is duly

described ; the numerous details being more than usually interesting , and not a few important , especially in relation to the Royal Arch , Knight Templar , and other Degrees , which were worked in that town in early days . Bro . John Knight , a Alasonic veteran , was the leading Masonic spirit for many years in all the ceremonies , a brother after Bro . Thomas

Dunckerley ' s heart ; the latter being Grand Superintendent of Cornwall and Grand Master of Knights Templars for England . For some Years , Redruth was the centre of activity in relation to the Degrees above or beyond the Craft ; and Bro . Osborne has ably written the history of that

eventful period . ( To be Continued ) .

PAST J UNIOR GRAND WARDKN . Bro . Sir Edward Clarke , K . C ., whose career at the Bar and in the political arena has placed him amongst the most notable men of his time , was initiated in the Caledonian Lodge , No . 134 , in 1871 ; but , as may be supposed , his busy life left

him little time to devote to Masonry , and his record therefore is a very small one . Recently , however , our distinguished brother has found himself politically in a position of more freedom and less responsibility , and the interests of Masonry will , we feel sure , receive considerable attention at his hands . We shall look forward to a period of activity in this direction , which will assuredly be of advantage to the Craft .
