, , , W . J . Johns , J . O . ; S . Holloway , Chap . ; Captain Barber , Org . ; and the other officers who were present in the discharge of their various duties . One of the largest meetings ever held since ths establishment of the lodge in May last testified that the interest of tho members was rather on the increase than otherwise , which fact was made still more apparent by the advancement of six candidates , aud seven propositions being

made during the evening , making in all sixty-nine members in less than twelve months . A memorial to the General Board was proposed by Bro . Tweedy , that the lodge be allowed to nominate its successor to the chair in May instead of September , according to the warrant .

vantageous ^ - Degree Truro neighbourhood . Considerable pleasure is felt by the promoters in seeing the ancient degree of Mark Masonry so firmly established in the extreme west of England , and especially at the fact that , ere long , the Fortitude Lodge will bo blessed with another offspring , which bids fair to be as strong and healthy as its first , which was opened at Hayle in January last . The lodge was closed iu solemn prayer at seven p . m .
