MARE MASONRY .
St . Mahr $ Lodge of Mabk Master ^ . 1 ) . —The third monthly meeting of the Brethren of this now flourishing Lodge was held on the evening of the 2 nd ult ., at the Freemasons' Tavern , when the R . W . Bro . H . G . Warren advanced no fewer than twelve Brethren to the Degree of Mark Masters ; the whole of the ceremony , considering the short period the Lodge has been working , having been performed in a manner highly creditable to the R . W . and his subordinate Officers . The following is a list of the Brethren advanced : —Rev . 0 . F . Owen , Brov . G . Chap , for Surrey , and W . M . No . 661 ; Bro . Eenn , P . M . No . 23 ; Bro . Gurton ,
P . M . No . 201 ; Bro . Boyd , No . 118 ; Bro . Ireland , P . M . No . 805 ; Bro . Lowenstark , P . M . No . 805 ; Bro . Piatt , Nos . 168 and 219 ; Bro . Frampton , No . 248 ; Bro . Sheen , P . M . No . 237 ; Bro . Norland ; Bro . R . J . Warren , No . 289 ; Bro . Blackburn , No . 169 . After the close of Masonic business , the Brethren supped together , and spent a most agreeable evening . In returning thanks for the toast of his health , the Rev . Bro . Owen took occasion to observe on the non-recognition
of the Mark Degree by the Grand Lodge of England , and expressed a hope , that as the success of St . Mark ' s Lodge would popularize -the Degree in this country , and demonstrate the fact ( which he never doubted ) that Mark Masonry was part and parcel of Craft Masonry , not only a graceful appendage to the Fellow-Craft Degree , as it had been styled , but an essential portion of it , and the link which connected it with the Third Degree , so the constituents of Grand Lodge would , when the question was next brought before them , be better acquainted with the subject on which they would be called on to vote , and would not , as on the last occasion , reject it because they knew nothing about it .
