practice the noble principles of the order . It was early in his term of office that the Masonic Club was established on an enlarged basis , and the commodious hall in Cooperstreet , Manchester , was soon afterwards erected . By virtue of his office he laid the foundation stone of the new building in 1862 , and the hall was opened in 1864 , The deceased brother was the Grand

Superintendent of the Royal Arch Chapter of the province . He had just , within a few weeks of his death , completed a gift of £ 1 , 000 to the Royal Masonic Institution for Boys . This donation entitles the Provincial Grand Master for the time being in perpetuity to the nomination of one boy to participate in the educational and other advantages of the institution . Bro . Blah- had not made any

nomination , but it is understood that he had fixed upon an eligible candidate , whoso appointment will now rest with his successor . In addition to Mill Hill House , Bro . Blair had two seats in Scotland , one called Glenspean , and another in Caithnesshire , called Castle Braul . Hero he had ample opportunities of following his favourite pastime of salmon

fishing , and of indulging in field sports , of which he was very fond , and in which he Avas considered an accomplished practitioner . The town and neighbourhood of Bolton have lost in the deceased gentleman a staunch and liberal friend ; and his tall anet erect form , crowned with a profusion of snowwhite hair , will long linger in tho recollection of those who ever found in him a true benefactor and a sterling friend .
