SUPREME GRAND CHAPTER .
THE Quarterly Convocation of Grand Chapter was held on Wednesday , at Freemasons' Hall , London , when the Principals' chairs were occupied by Companions W . W . B . Beach , M . P ., Grand Superintendent
Hampshire and Isle of Wight ; Colonel Gerard Noel Money , C . B ., Grand Superintendent Surrey ; and William Harling Sissons , J . P ., Grand Superintendent Lincolnshire .
After the confirmation of the minutes Companions Sir Lionel Darell and William Mason Stiles were nominated for the post of Grand Treasurer , the unusual event of au election for this post in Grand Chapter being
necessary in consequence of the Treasurer of Grand Lodge , Alderman Dimsdale , not being qualified for a seat in Grand Chapter . The result was closer than was anticipated , but sufficiently marked to secure for
Companion Stiles the coveted honour , the poll being declared as 112 to 102 in his favour , a result on which we tender him our heartiest congratulations , and trust it may be but a forerunner of what is in store for him at no very distant date in Grand Lodge .
The Earl of Lathom was confirmed in his post as Pro Grand Z ., and the Earl of Mount Edgcumbe in that of Grand H ., while the other appointments were announced as follows , the different Companions being regularly invested :
W . W . B . Beach , M . P . - J . Edward Letchworth - - Scribe E . Rov . Canon Kynaston - - Scribe N , Robert Grey - - - Pros . Com . Gon . Purp . F . A . Philbrick , Q . C . - - Registrar . Thomas Lean Wilkinson - - Deputy Registrar William B . Coltman - - Principal Sojournor
