King Edward Vii. Preceptory, No. 173.
King Edward VII . Preceptory , No . 173 .
THE installation meeting of this successful preceptory , which has just completed its first year of existence , during which its membership has reached fifty , took place recently at Mark Masons' Hall , Great Queen Street . Eminent Knight R . Clay Sudlow was installed as Eminent Preceptor in a very dignified manner , with a full musical
ceremonial by the outgoing Preceptor , E . Kt . Imre Kiralfy , K . C . T . The Eminent Preceptor , R . Clay Sudlow , then conferred office upon the following knights : —E . Kt . T . Fraser , First Constable ; Kt . G . Rankin , Second Constable ; E . Kt . W . Baddeley , Chaplain ; Kt . W . O . Welsford , Registrar ; Kt .
G . J . Kiralfy , Marshall ; E . Kt . Dr . R . S . Maitland Coffin , Almoner ; Kt . W . R . Bennett , First Herald ; Kt . A . Cadbury Jones , Second Herald ; Kt . J . R . Brough , First Standard Bearer ; Kt . H . Thorpe , Second Standard Bearer ; Kt . E . P . Fischer , Captain of Guards ; H . Hodge , Organist .
After which he announced to the members that the Grand Master had conferred upon their outgoing Preceptor , E . Knt . Imre Kiralfy , the high honour of Knight Commander
of the Temple , and in the name of the preceptory , offered him their hearty congratulations . He also presented him with the Past Preceptor ' s jewel , voted by the members , in appreciation of his able services , and in a graceful speech he further presented him with a lichly embroidered Preceptor ' s banner , which had been subscribed for by
the members , and assured him that his arduous work had been appreciated by them all , and the name of Kiralfy would ever be dear to the members of the " King Edward VII . Preceptory . " Although he had in the natural course to make way for another in the chair as Preceptor ,
he would never have to make way for any one in the hearts of the knights . E . Knight Kiralfy expressed his appreciation of the gift , and of the kindness and assistance he had received during his year of office , from E . Kt . Sudlow and the other members .
The preceptory was then closed , and the daughter preceptory , which has been recruited entirely from its members , was consecrated .
We much regret that in our report of the consecration of the " Empress Preceptory" in our last issue , it was made to appear that the subsequent banquet was held under the auspices of the " Empress Preceptory . " This is incorrect . It was the installation banquet of the " King Edward VII . Preceptory , " and was presided over by the newly installed
Preceptor , the E . Knight R . Clay Sudlow , well known in Masonic circles for his work at the Emulation Craft Lodge of Improvement , and who has , during the past year , taken a prominent part as one of the committee of the " King Edward VII . Preceptory of Improvement , " which , like the mother preceptory , has attained great success .

Masonic Presentation at South Shields .
A SPECIAL meeting of the Hadrian Lodge of Freemasons was recently held in the Masonic Hall , South Shields , at which a presentation was made to Bro . Thos . Coulson , P . P . S . G . W ., the Treasurer , who was one of the founders and the first W . M . of the lodge , which was consecrated twenty-one years ago . The testimonial ,
consisting of an excellent portrait in oils by Bro . Ralph Henley of the recipient , and a suitably inscribed gold watch , together with a solid silver cake basket and case of silver tea spoons and tongs for Mrs . Coulson , was subscribed for by the brethren of the lodge , of whom there was a very large
gathering . On the occasion the lodge received a visit from the R . W . Provincial Grand Master , Lord Barnard , and a large number of members of Provincial Grand Lodge . Bro . Alfred Mitford , W . M ., opened the lodge , and Lord Barnard , on entering , took the chair , and was duly saluted .
During the proceedings the R . W . Provincial Grand Master invested Bro . R . Lee , P . M . 97 , as P . G . P . ( Durham ) . Subsequently the R . W . Prov . Grand Master ( Lord Barnard ) made the presentation to Bro . Coulson . He alluded to the great prosperity which had attended the Hadrian
Lodge since its inception 21 years ago , and remarked that in looking at the cause of its great success one knew there must have been some guiding hand , some master spirit , which had done so much for it . In that particular case the cause was not far to seek . He wished to associate himself with
them in according their most sincere and heartfelt thanks to Bro . Coulson for all he had done for that lodge and for Freemasonry in that Province . Bro . Coulson had been a member of the fraternity for rather over 30 years , and during that period he had been associated with all the leading Masons of the Province . He joined the South Hilda lodge
in that town in 1871 , and became in due course its W . M . He afterwards set himself to organise a movement to establish another lodge , successfully overcame all difficulties which presented themselves , and succeeded in 1882 in getting from the Grand Lodge of England a warrant
for the formation of that lodge . It had now not only a larger membership than any other lodge in the province , but had contributed most liberally in benefactions and charities during the time its affairs had been under the control of Bro . Coulson . Having referred to the
high character which Bro . Coulson bore as a Freemason and as an example to younger Freemasons , his lordship made the presentation and expressed his sincere wish that the recipient and Mrs . Coulson might enjoy health , happiness and long life . Bro . Coulson , who was heartily cheered , expressed his
high appreciation of tli 2 kindness of Lord Barnard and of the members of the lodge . He sketched his career as a Freemason , and , speaking of the work of the Hadrian Lodge , said that during the 21 years of its existence it had given to charities , Masonic and local , no less than £ 1348 . The lodge was then closed , and a concert followed .
