DIRECTORS OF CEREMONIES .
As we find the remarks we made under this head last week have excited some attention , we take the opportunity of appending the following note . In some Lodges where the office is maintained as one of importance , the holder is styled Director of the Ceremonies , which is a better title than that of Master of the Ceremonies , and the office is filled by a Past
Master or other experienced Brother . As an exemplification , we refer to some recent appointments reported in our last Mirror . Thus in tbe Old Concord , ( No . 201 ) , Bro . Nicholson , P . M ., has been appointed Director of the Ceremonies ; at the Yarborough Lodge , ( No . 812 ) , Bro . J . D . Carr is styled Director of the Ceremonies ; at the Scientific Lodgeat Cambridge ( No . 105 ) , which is one of hi gh
stand-, , ing , Bro . Bentley , P . M ., was appointed Director of the Ceremonies ; in another old and eminent Lodge , the Royal Cumberland Lodge of Bath , ( No . 48 ) , the Director of the Ceremonies is Bro . Peach , P . M ., and Prov . S . G . W . for Somersetshire ; at the Lodge of Unanimity , at Taunton , ( No 327 ) , Bro . Ball was appointed Director ofthe Ceremonies ; at St . John ' s Lodge , Bolton , ( No . 436 ) , Bro . William Redick
was reinvested as Director of the Ceremonies , the appointment being kept permanently in efficient hands ; at the Lodge of Harmony , Winchester , ( No . 90 ) , Bro . H . Newman was appointed Director of the Ceremonies ; and at the Eoyal Clarence Lodge , Bristol , ( No . 81 ) , a very old Lodge , Bro . R , J . Weaver , P . M ., was appointed Director of the Ceremonies .
