Masonic Notes .

Some weeks since an appeal was addressed to the different lodges from the office of this Paper setting forth the claims of the Freemason for the support of lodges , chapters , & c , in their corporate capacity . It was endeavoured to show that it was to the interest and

advantage of the lodge that the Master for the time being should be informed as to what was taking place in the world of Masonry . We are much encouraged by the responses that have been made to that

communication ; resolutions have been passed in many lodges that the "Freemason" be subscribed for , and we have received instructions to post the same to the private address of the Worshipful Master , who will , doubtless , at the proper time , transfer the privilege to his successor .

Masonic Notes.

Bro . Richard Clowes , of Clayton Wickham , Hassocks , has been appointed Provincial Senior Grand Warden of Sussex in succession to the late Bro . Crawford J . Pocock . Bro . Clowes has been a Past Master for many years , and was appointed by Bro . Lord

Brooke , Provincial Grand Master of Essex , tothe office of Provincial Senior Grand Warden . He went to live in Sussex about five years ago , and joined the Southdown Lodge , No . 1797 , at Hurstpierpoint , also the St . Cecilia Lodge , No . 16 3 6 , at Brig hton . He was one of

the founders and first J . W . of the Earl of Sussex Lodge , No . 2201 , which was consecrated at Brighton in 186 7 by H . R . H . the Duke of Connaught , Provincial Grand Master of Sussex , the late Deputy Provincial Grand Master , Bro . Gerard Ford , being the first W . M .,

the present Deputy Provincial Grand Master , Bro . the Rt . Hon . Sir W , T . Marriott , was the second W . M ., and now Bro . Clowes fills the chair as third W . M .

We feel sure from the great interest he has taken in the Craft since he took up his residence in Sussex that his appointment vvill give general satisfaction to the brethren in the province .

* * * It is now definitely stated that the Prince and Princess of Wales will be present at the opening , in June next , of the Royal Agricultural Society ' s Exhibition at Plymouth , and that they will be entertained by Bro .

the Earl of Mount Edgcumbe , her Majesty ' s Lord Steward and the Lord-Lieutenant of Cornwall . The Freemasons will also hold a special Grand Lodge , which shall comprise all the Freemasons in Devon and Cornwall , for the purpose of giving a welcome to the Prince

as Grand Master . Bro . the Earl of Mount Edgcumbe , as Provincial Grand Master ot Cornwall , and Bro . Viscount Ebrington , M . P ., as Provincial Grand Master of Devonshire , will take a special interest in this part of the many receptions in connection with the Prince ' s visit to the West .

A few days ago Bro . Bernhard Kauffman , P . M . 1732 , & c , celebrated the 50 th anniversary of his birthday , and a few of his more intimate friends took the opportunity of showing their kindly feelings for him by presenting him with a handsome silver cup , bearing the

inscription , " Presented to Bernhard Kauffman by a few friends on the anniversary of his 50 th birthday . April 7 th , 1890 . " The cup was accompanied by a very kind letter of congratulation signed by the donor . * -

among whom we notice Bros . G . R . Bolton , A . N . Clemow , James Hemming , Lewis and Saul Solomon , W . M . Stiles , and Edwin Storr . We heartily congratulate Bro . Kauffman on this mark of esteem in which he is held by his more immediate friends .

The Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution has had a piece of good fortune befall it recently in the shape of a bequest of one-third of the residue of the estate of the late Bro . Dr . Morris Wilson . The residue represents a sum of about ^ 11 , 000 , so that the piece of

good fortune we speak of will not be very far short of ¦ 64000 . We should like to see a few more such come in the way of this Institution , which , having regard to its formidable lists of candidates , needs more support than it gets .

* * * We are glad to note that Bro . J . Finlay Finlayson has been delivering his interesting lecture on " The Symbols and Legends of Freemasonry" before the

Liverpool Masonic Literary Society . His work on the same subject is known to many of our readers , and Bro . Finlayson ' s well-known ability as a lecturer will , we feel sure , enable him to present the subject-matter of that book very clearly and attractively to his hearers .

* * * The 27 th annual festival of the Wandsworth Lodge of Instruction , No . 1044 , on Tuesday , the 25 th ult ., passed off most satisfactory . Bro . Higerty , P . M . and Sec . No . 1044 , P . M . No . 1714 , Past Prov . G . D . Surrey ,

presided in lodge , when the seven sections of the First Lecture were very ably worked by Bros . A . Grundy , 1585 ; T . W . Foddy and R . R . Monger , 1044 ; J * M . Parsons , 1564 ; W . D . Jesseman and J . Mortimer , 1044 ; and H . Baker , 1360 . The duties of the lodge being over the

members and their many guests sat down to an excellent menu , provided by mine host of the East Hill Tloiel , Wandsworth , and afterwards a limited number of toasts were honoured , interspersed with a capital programme

of songs . In short , the evening was a most enjoyable one , and we trust the Wandsworth Lodge of Instruction will live to celebrate many , many more such annual festivals .
