were not surprised that a large gathering of Craftsmen assembled to take part in the consecration of this new Mark Masters' Lodge and the formation of the Province of East Anglia . The representative men of Gorleston—if wo may be allowed so to designate them—Bro . E . P . Yonell and Bro . Major Dods , had striven to their uttermost to the end that tho meeting shonld tnrn ont a snccessfnl one ; and each vie : l in a spirit of honourable rivalry in offering a cordial welcome to the many visitors , with a result eminently satisfactory to all who

participated m their hospitality . It has been said that Suffolk is fortunate in the nnmber and position of its representatives in the various deerees in Freemasonry , and unquestionably she is securing for herself a position in tho Masonic world . Daring the past few years great strides have been made in the Craft and Royal Arch degrees , which have respectively their Provincial Grand Lodge and Provincial Grand Cbapler , both of them are well represented , and constantly

increasing m numbers of membership . The Mark degree nntil Monday had bnt two Lodges in the comity—one at Ipswich and the other at Bnry St . Edmunds ; on that day , however , the little corner of Suffolk—Gorleston—aspired to the possession of its Mark Lodge , following its earlier aspirations of a Royal Aroh ; and a large gather , ing of Mark Masters , and candidates for advancement , attended at St . Andrew's Hall . " The Yonell" is the title under which this

new Lodge will work , and is the sixth in the now-established Province working under the Mark Masters' Constitution , the other five Lodges being named—Albert Victor 70 , Ipswich ; Walpole 92 , Norwich ; Freeman 105 , Bnry St . Edmunds ; Isaac Newton 112 , Cambridge University ; and Constantino 145 , Colchester . Amongst those present were the Right Hon . Lord Henniker

Brother the Right Hon . Lord Henniker Grand Mark Master Mason of England and Wales and the Colonies and Dependencies of the British Crown , attended by several of his Grand Officers , was in

waiting and sought admission . A deputation was formed , and the Most Worshipful Grand Master was received in the usual form , and with honours . On taking the chair , Lord Henniker expressed the great pleasure it gave him to witness the growth of Mark Masonry as evidenced by the increasing labour it entailed . Ho was especially proud of the duty that now devolved upon him in consecrating a now Lodge in his own county , particularly as in connection

with the day's proceedings a Provinco was to be constituted . He complimented the members of the Lodge upon the excellent start it had made , and thought this might be accepted as a happy augury for its futnre . The founders of the new Lodge were then arranged in order , and the Petition and Warrant read . The brethren having signified their approval of the Officers named in the warrant , the Most Worshipful Grand Master proceeded to constitute the Lodge ,
