The R . W , Bro . Hughes , D . M . ( in the unavoidable absence of Bro . Warren ) , occupied the chair , and was ably seconded by his assistant Officers .

Cartwrigbt , of the Alfred Lodge , No . 425 ; Bro . Harrison , No . 201 ;
and Bro . Pocklington , of No . 339 , Boston . It speaks well for the progress of the Lodge , and marks the desire of the Brethren generally to see the Mark Degree recognized by the Grand Lodge of England , to find that there are now on the roll of the Lodge , although only two months established , the names of thirty Brothers , some of whom have been advanced in the illegal assembly styling itself the Bon-Accord Lodge of Mark Masons , but who have renounced their allegiance to it and formally joined the new Lodge . There are , besides , as many as seventeen Brethren on the list for advancement next Lodge evening .
