JUNIOR GRAND DEACONS . Bro . Sir R . NICHOLAS HOWARD fully deserves the honour conferred upon him . He hails from Dorsetshire , and although there are several bright Masonic stars in that part of England , he will compare vvith most of them in brilliancy and length of service . He was initiated in all Souls Lodge , No . 170 , Weymouth , 1857 , and is now father and senior Past Master of the lodge . He occupies precisely the same relations towards the

Portland Lodge , No . 1037 , Portland , of which he vvas one of the founders and first Worshipful Master , while in the Prov . G . Lodge he was Prov . G . Deacon in 1859 , Prov - G .

The selection of so distinguished a Mason for the honours of the purple is amply justified by such a record .

Bro . ROBERT BERRIDGE for many years past has been one of the most conspicuous brethren in Metropolitan circles , nor is he by any means un . known and undistinguished in the ranks of provincial Masonry .

Principal in 1879 . In 1885 , he vvas appointed G . Supt . of Works in the Prov . Grand Lodge and G . D . C . in the Prov . Grand Chapter of Nottinghamshire .

of C . in the Grand Council of the Order ; while in the Allied Masonic Degrees he was founder and first W . M . of the Rose and Lily Council , No . 15 , and is D . G . M , of the Grand Council .

In the Order of the Temple , he is G . Std . Br . of

the National Great Priory of England and Wales in 1887 . As regards our Institutions , his support has been most valuable . He is a Vice-Patron and member of the Audit Committee of the Girls' School , for which he has served 10 Stewardships , a Vice-Patron and eight times Steward for the Boys ' School , and has served five Stewardships for and is Vice-President of the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution ; while in the Mark Benevolent Fund he has constituted himself a Vice-President , and has served some half a dozen Stewardships .
