impressively and efficiently performed / At the close of the ceremonies , the R . W . Bro , Dr . Fearhley , presented the Lodge with a very beautiful carpet , which was laid on the floor of the Lodge , and in doing so gracefully alluded to handsome presents from other Brethren . The carpet which the R . W . Brother has presented to the Lodge is of' a very chaste Masonic design , manufactured by Bro . Charles France , and designed by Bro . J . 6 . Gill , Prov . G . Supt . of Works , West Yorkshire . The centre , which is 3 yards by 2 yards , is the tesselated pavement , bordered by the
vandyking of the Royal Arch colours , crimson , and blue , 18 inches wide at the corners , of which are placed the four tassels , alluding to the cardinal virtues ; the body of the carpet is scarlet , with a border of garter blue and an outer border * 18 inches wide , maroon . The effect of the whole is elegant and reflects the highest credit upon the designerandmanufacturer ; indeed , it is the E . A . tracing board on a large scale . Bro . Raisbeck , P . M ., P . Prov . G . S ., proposed a vote of thanks to Bro . Fearnley , for his very handsome present , which was seconded by Bro . Thos .
Hemingway , P . M ., and P . Prov . S . G . W ., and accorded by acclamation . The W . M . for the ensuing year was then elected , when the nearly unanimous votes of the Brethren were given in favour of Bro . Joseph Moseley Harrison . Two gentlemen were proposed for initiation . The agenda for the next regular Lodge , to be held Thursday , the 16 th December , will be heavy , consisting of the installation of W . M ., one raising , four passings , and two initiations . We understand the installation will be performed by W . Bro . R . R . Nelson , Prov . Gr . Sec , and P . M . of the Lodge .
