Euston , M . W . Pro G . M . M ., as a mark of the lr sincere appreciation of his services on that occasion . But it is not necessary that we should have a precise verbal knowledge of its contents in order to realise either the thoughtful kindness of the 297 Stewards or the nature and extent ot his lordship ' s services both generally and particularly to the Mark Degree . Lord Euston
has been the ruling spirit of the Mark for the last 10 years . He served as Deputy G . M . M . from 1890 till 1893 , when he had conferred upon him the still higher and more responsible office of M . W . Pro G . M . M ., and in that position he has since remained to his own great honour and to the manifest advantage of that branch of our modern Masonry .
But this by no means represents the complete record of his Mark services . On the death of Bro . William Kelly , Prov . Grand Mark Master of Leicestershire , Northants , Derbyshire , and Rutland , a rearrangement was made of that Province , and his lordship was appointed , in 1 S 94 , Prov . Grand Mark Master of Northants , Hunts , and Beds , and to a like position in Leicestershire , while Derbyshire was placed as a separate Province under Bro . A . Woodiwiss as Prov . G . M . M . * * *
Again , his lordship has taken a deep interest in the work of the Mark Benevolent Fund , and has uniformly brought to bear in its behalf both the high influence of his ollicia ! position and his personal sympathies in advancing its interests . Twice has he presided in person at the annual Festival , namely , in
1 S 90 , when , with the help of a Board of 169 Stewards , his lordship had the pleasure of hearing announced what was then the record total of donations and subscriptions to the extent of . C 2354 ; and again on the nth July last , when a Board of Stewards numbering 297 ladies and brethren compiled the record sum of , £ 5113 .
Such work as this merits the honour which has just been shown his lordship by the presentation of this address in album form , in circumstances of publicity which naturally must enhance its value in his lordship ' s eyes ; and we trust he may be spared for many years to confirm , and if possible extend , his claims to the affectionate regard of the Mark brethren .
« * * As regards Lord Euston ' s general services to Freemasonry and its Charitable Institutions , there is ample evidence forthcoming from all sides . His lordship came into prominence in 188 7 , when his Royal Highness the M . W . Grand Master was pleased to
appoint him to the Provincial Grand Mastership of Northants and Hunts , which had just became vacant by the resignation of the late Duke of Manchester , and in 1888 he was chosen to succeed his Grace as Grand Superintendent for the same Province . In the following year he presided as Chairman at the Festival
of the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution , when under his auspices a Board of 36 " ! Stewards raised a total of donations and subscriptions amounting to ^ 13 , 508 . Later in 188 9 Lord Euston was invited to accept the position of Chairman of the Provisional Managing Committeeof the Royal Masonic Institution
for Boys ; while in 1890—on Lord Mayor Isaacs finding himself prevented at the last moment by illness from fulfilling his engagement to preside as Chairman at the Benevolent Institution—his lordship very kindly stepped forward and filled the gap , the Board of 330
Stewards compiling amongst them a total of contributions amounting to , £ " 13 , 841 . In 1 S 93 he occupied the chair at the 105 th Anniversary Festival of the Royal . Masonic Institution for Girls , when there was raised in all . £ 14 , 011 . * * *
But Our record of service is still unexhausted . His lordship is Grand Master of the Grand Council both of the Royal and Select Masters and of the Allied Masonic Degrees . He is Lieut . G . Commander of the Supreme Council , 33 , of the Ancient and Accepted Rite , Prov . G . Master for London and the
Metropolitan Counties in the Royal Order of Scotland M . E . and S . Grand Master of the Great Priory of England and Wales and Grand Cross of the Order of the Temple , and M . I . Grand Sovereign of the Order of Rome and the Red Cross of Constantino . In all these various offices his lordship has exhibited the greatest energy and activity , nor is there an occasion
on which no matter what personal inconvenience it may entail , he does not undertake a task which is calculated to promote the interests of any of them , There are not many , even among the mosl distinguished members of our Order , whose duties are so multif irons , or who , in the discharge of those duties , acquit the nselves so brilliantly .

The annual meeting of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Warwickshire will be held at the Church Schools , Solihull , on Wednesday , the 26 th instant , under the auspices of the St . Al phege Lodge , No . 1431 . Prov . Grand Lodge will be opened at 2 . 45 p . m ., and the usual banquet will follow at 5 p . m . —tickets , exclusive
of wine , 5 s . 6 d . each , for which application must be made to the Chairman of the St . Alphege Board of Stewards , Masonic Hall , New-street , Birmingham , on or before Saturday , the 22 nd instant . The business will be of the usual character , and in the course of the proceedings the brethren will go in procession to St .
Alphege Church , where a sermon will be preached by the Rev . Lloyd Evans , M . A ., Prov . G . Chaplain , and the offertory devoted to the Warwickshire Masonic Benevolent and Pupils' Aid Fund , the report of whose successful Festival in Stoneleigh Park in July is the chief feature in the paper of Agenda .
* * * On Tuesday , the 9 th October , there will be a meeting of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Warwickshire , held in St . Mary ' s Hall , Coventry , at which the St . John ' s Lodge , No . 2 S 11 , will be consecrated , the W . M . designate installed , and the officers for the
ensuing year invested . The ceremony will be performed by Bro . Edward Letchworth , G . Secretary , assisted by Bro . Frank Richardson , Past G . Deacon , and the officers of tbe Prov . Grand Lodge of Warwickshire . When the ceremonies and other duties of
the day are concluded , a banquet will be served at the Queen ' s Hotel , tickets for which—at 5 s . each , exclusive of wine—must be applied for to Bro . J . W . Mills , Queen ' s Hotel , Coventry , not later than Saturday , the 6 th October .
We have to acknowledge receipt of Part 2 of Volume XIII . of the Ars Quatuor Coronntorum , being the Transactions of the Quatuor Coronati Lodge , No . 2076 , and shall take an early opportunity of reviewing its contents . These are varied in character , and quite up to the standard ol merit for which the Transactions
of the lodge are noted , the principal contribution being , appropriately , that of the W . Master—Bro . T . B . Whytehead , P . G . S . B—entitled "The Relics of the Grand Lodge of York . " The paper is not only admir able in itself , containing as it does much inter
esting and readable matter , but has the additional advantage of being embellished with quite a number of illustrations , including a portrait of Bro . Francis Drake , G . M . in 1861 , and several facsimile reproductions of minutes , & c .
* The Committee of Management of the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution held its regular monthly meeting at Freemasons' Hall on Wednesday under the presidency of Bro . H . A . Tobias , P . G . Std . B . The Secretary reported the deaths of thr ee
male an nuitants and one widow , and also of one wido w , receiving half her late husband ' s annuity , and one male candidate , and six petitions ( five male and one widow ) were considered and four accepted , the names being ordered to be placed on the lists for the elections in May , 1 9 , while those of two men were deferred .
••• We have received copy of the proceedings of the Quarterly Communication of the Dist . G . Lodge of Burma , held at the Masonic Hall , Rangoon , on the 25 th June last , under the presidency of Bro . Dr . N . N . Parakh , Dep . Dist . G . M ., acting as Dist . G . M ., in the
unavoidable absence of the Dist . G . M . —Bro . J . Copley Moyle . Considering the difficulties which lodges in India have to contend with , the Craft in Burma appears to be in a comfortable position , nor did anything of a regrettable nature present itself at the meeting except the report of the death of Bro . E . G . Barron , Dist . G . Secretary , to whose sterling worth
a just tribute oi respect was paid and ordered to be entered on the minutes . Moreover , steps were taken , and are being taken , throughout the District , toeducate the two boys he has left to mourn his loss , a sum of 200 rupees having been voted towards that object by the Dist . G . Lodge , while Lodge Victoria , in Burma , of which the deceased was a member , has already raised 780 rupees .
As regards the state of the Craft , both numerical and financial , everything appears to be going well , There are 10 lodges on the District roll with an aggregate of subscribing members on the 31 st March last of 373 as compared with 354 on the 31 st December , lSyi ) , the bulk of the increase having occurred in Lodge Victoria in Burma , Mo . S 32 , Rangoon , which
can boast of an accession of one initiate anil 13 joining members during the quarter . No returns had been received from two of the lodges , and in their case the numbers for the previous quarter were carried on . On the General Fund there was reported a balance of 1174 Rupees , while on the Benevolent Fund the balance was 1153 Rupees . We trust that future accounts and Returns may prove as satisfactory .
