MARK MASONRY .

THE Annual Grand Lodge of Mark Masons for the Province of Berks and Oxon , was held on Tuesday , in the County Hall , at Abingdon , under the presidency of tbe Earl of Jersey , Provincial Grand Maxter , who was supported by the Deputy Grand Master Bro . Stephens , Bros . Binckes Grand Secretary , Broadley Grand Master of Tunis and Malta , Donald Dewar Grand Assistant Secretary , Pulley Provincial Grand Secretary , and nearly 100 brethren of the Mark

COMMERCIAL CHAPTER , No . 41 .

ON Thursday , Sth September , an interesting gathering of Free , masons will take place in the Masonic Hall , Nottingham . The occasion will be the consecration of the Commercial Chapter , to be attached to Lodge No . 411 . The petitioning Companions are—Comps .

Th « ceremony of Consecration will be performed by the M . E . Comp . J . Terry P . G . D . C . Herts , Secretary of the Royal Masonio Benevolent Institution . A banquet will be beld in tbe evening .

A somewhat singular record will be noted in the list of brethren and others to whom sums from £ 50 and upwards have been recommended by Lodge of Benevolence . One brother died three days after the Lodge recommended a grant of . 650 , and a second three weeks after the larger

sum of £ 75 had been agreed upon , as subject to the confirmation and approval of Grand Lodge being adequate to his necessities . These indirectly show the necessity there is for paying the moneys recommended with as little delay as possible .

Probably the owners of " certain freehold premises , with stable in New Yard , " were not a little surprised when their proposal to sell their property for £ 1 , 000 was summarily rejected by the Board of General Purposes . They

probably reckoned that Grand Lodge would bay at the price they put upon it , and they have now discovered their mistake . The premises may be worth £ 1 , 000 to the owners , but they are not to Grand Lodge , so the negociations have very properly been dropped .

degree . The Provincial Grand Lodge was opened at half . past three o'clock , under Lord Jersey ' s presidency , when the various reports were presented , showing the province to be in a satisfactory position * Since the List Annual Provincial Grand Lodge upwards of sixty members have been advanced in the six Lodges in the Province . The rovincial Grand Master appointed his Officers for the ensuing year . The business having closed , the brethren adjourned to the Council Chamber , where a dinner was served , and the usual Mark Masons , toasts were drunk .
