The Lodge -was opened at one o clock p . m ., and after formal business , the Prov . Grand Chaplain , Bro . the Rev . H . J . Mason , delivered a lecture on the social , moral , and intellectual education and culture which Masonry affords

to its earnest and zealous disciples . The Prov . Grand Master , in his annual address , reviewed the work of the Grand Lodge during the past year , and noted with special

emphasis the installation at Brighton , by the M . W . G . M ..

of the Duke of Connaught as Provincial Grand Master of Sussex . He then reviewed the past year ' s Masonic work in his own province , and congratulated the brethren of the Sherborne Lodge on having secured private premises in

which to hold their meetings . The Charity work of the province was next referred to , and satisfaction expressed at the support given to the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution at the last Festival , when Dorset was placed

ninth on the list of provinces in order of merit , the sum of £ 180 being handed in by the Steward for the province , Bro . E . T . Budden P . P . G . S . W . The Girls' School had also been well supported , and the Stewards—Bros . Dngdale and Milledge—had handed in a joint list of over £ 130 . He

then alluded to the work of the Dorset Masonic Charity , and called on the honorary Secretary to read the annual

report , whieh was as follows : — The Sixth Annual Report of the General Committee of the Dorset Masonic Charity to the Provincial Grand Lodge of Dorset , holden at Blandford , Thursday , 5 th August 1886 . Right Worshipful Provincial Grand Master and Brethren , —In our

last Report it was our pleasing duty to congratulate the Province on the completion of the first stage of the financial work of the Dorset Masonio Charity , viz .: the attainment and investment of £ 2 , 125 as a permanent endowment for the Charity . The past year may be considered as the first year of our normal

work , unembarrassed by any anxiety as to the Endowment Fand , and relieved from the duty of making appeals to the Lodges and brethren for the accomplishment of that object . We have had to solicit for nothing more than a subscription of 5 s a year from every brother to make up an adequate revenue for our

operations of relief to distressed brethren , assistance to widows of Dorset Masons , and help towards the education and advancement in life of the children of poor or deceased Dorset Masons . The brethren on the whole fairly respond , and one LooVe has especially distinguished itself by the very large number of subscribers

in proportion to its roll of members . The Manor Lodge , Beaminster , out of a roll of twenty-eight members , has sent in a list of twenty-one subscribers , or seventy-five per cent ., which is by far the largest per

1367 , Beaminster , 19 subscriptions for 1885 . . 4 15 0 „ 21 subscriptions , 1886 - - . . 550 622 , Wimborne - - . » . -750 1168 , Sherborne ( Bro . White W . M ., £ 5 ) - . -626 170 , Weymouth , for 1885 3 15 0 386 , Wareham , for 1885 - . . . 3 10 0

centage yet reached by any Lodge in the Province , and is an earnest of what we may hope for , if in every Lodge we could secure the co-operation of so zealous and ardent a Mason as Worshipful Brother Baskett , to whose admirable energy this success is mainly due .

The total amount received from the Lodges and brethren daring the financial year just closed is as follows : — Lodge £ a d
