Craft Masonry.

Frank Bullen is well known as an eloquent lecturer , and rapidly rising star in the ht « ary horizon , and is with it one of the most genial and kindly of men . Both candidates afterwards expressed the deep interest they took in the ceremony they had heard . 1 he W M . then presented the lodge with a handsome banner and received a cordial vote ot thanks , and also presented B ? o . E . W . T . Hoare , LP . M ., with the Past Master's jewel voted by the members , which Bro . Hoare in a few expressive words suitably TL . i „ j _ I il ,.. ^ lr , co ^ snJ rhr . hrpfhrpn nartoolt of a verv excellent banquet .

After the usual loyal toasts , those of "The W . M ., " " The Installing Master , " " The Initiates , " "The Visitors , " "The Past Masters , " "The Treasurer and Secretary , " and "The Officers , " were , in due course , eloquently given and responded to . Bro . Frank Bullen being particularly felicitous ; while Bros . Pow , Lightfoot , and others testified tp the pleasure they felt on being present , with warm wishes for the prosperity of the lodge . Bro . Pointon , P . M ., was particularly happy in his reply , and Bro . Frances , as Secretary , was listened to with

hearty brotherly feeling . . . . . , . The excellent musical programme and the exigencies of the train service made it an imperative necessity that the speeches should , at least have one virtue—brevity , which left much that could have been said unsaid . Bro . Wheeler charmed the company with « nme excellent ballads . Bro . Frank Bullen ably recited Bro . Kipling's _ poem "Our

Mother Lodge , " Bro . Hopkins drew sweet music from the silver bells , and Hro . n . w , Smith , by his marvellous command over the Japanese fiddle , drew forth such tunes that nothing was to be desired except he changed it for an English one . Bro . b rank bwinford , KG . O ., was , as one might expect , simply perfection as pianoforte accompanyist . The Tyler ' s toast brought a very happy evening to an end , leaving the memory of it an enjoyment for aye .

Arnold and Holmes , having undergone a satisfactory examination , were raised to the Degree of M . M . by the W . M . This being the first occasion that the W . M . has had an opportunity of working any of the ceremonies from the chair , it is but fair to state that the skill and ability shown was repeatedly referred to during the evening , and was duly appreciated by the whole of the brethren present . Mr . H . A . Jones was initiated by the W . M ., and after further business the lodge was closed . During the evening tbe W . M . announced that he should hold a ball at Cannonthe of the

street Hotel on Tuesday , January 22 nd , 1901 , when he hoped to have support brethren to make it a success . .

M ., who had prepared a capital programme , which was successfully carried out by the energetic and genial Secretary , Bro . Geo . Parrett . Continued illness precluded the Organist from being present , but the wish ot the brethren is that he ( Bro . T . F . Noakes ) may be with them at their next merry meeting .

Memorial To The Late Bro. Professor Shuttleworth.

MEMORIAL TO THE LATE BRO . PROFESSOR SHUTTLEWORTH .

A large and influential meeting was held on Monday afternoon at St . Paul's Chapter House for the purp ose of setting on foot a subscription for a memorial to the late Bro . Profes sor Shuttleworth , rector of St . Nicholas Cole Abbey . In the unavoidable absence of the Bishop of London , the Bishop of Stepney presided , and among those present were Mr . Leonard Courtney , Bro . Alderman Sir William Treloar , Bro . Alderman and Sheriff Vaughan Morgan , Mr . G . W . E . Russell , and Dr . Wace .

The Bishop of STEPNEY explained that they were met to do honour to a man of a remarkably lovable character , possessed of wonderful zeal and energy . Moreover , the professor was an exceedingly generous man , and was inclined to spend perhaps too freely when appeals for help were made to him . All felt that his great services to the Church and to the social lite of the City claimed a public acknowledgment , and as his premature death had placed his family in circumstances in which assistance was much needed , their thoughts naturally turned in that direction .

Mr . LEONARD COURTNEY spoke to the propriety of a memorial . To all the professor was known as a thorough Cornishman , and they in London knew what pains he took in gathering around him men who had migrated from that county , and in securing the success of the annual Cornish dinner . When he came to be incumbent of a City church they saw something of the zeal with which he drew people to the services . Whatever he found to do , he did it with his might .

Bro . Alderman Sir WILLIAM TRELOAR hoped they would do something to show their appreciation of their late friend and there interest in those he had left behind .

Bro . Alderman and Sheriff VAUGHAN MORGAN proposed that the form of the memorial be a fund to make provision for Professor Shuttleworth ' s wife and family . Prebendary WACE seconded , saying that , besides the other virtues already attributed to him , Professor Shuttleworth possessed a most generous faculty of self-effacement .

Mr . G . W . E . RUSSELL said that his friendshi p with the professor dated from their undergraduate days at Oxford . Just previous to his death , Professor Shuttleworth expressed to him a fervent desire that his son should have the benefit of an Oxford education .

Dr . BAKER supported the resolution , which was unanimousl y carried . To promote the objects a committee was formed . Bro . Archdeacon Sinclair was appointed chairman , and Mr . R . Petherbrid ge ( St . Paul ' s Chapter House ) hon . secretary . Subscribers to the fund already include the Bishops of London , Truro , and Stepney , Bro . J . Passmore Edwards , the Mayor of Falmouth ( Mr . F . j . Bowles ) , Bro . Alderman and Sheriff Vaughan Morgan , Bro . Alderman Sir W . Treloar , Mr . Leonard Courtney , snd Mr . J . L . Barrett .
