FRKENASONRY.—Thelnstallation of Bro. E T. Budden,
P.C.S.D and RM., let; Windairne, as W.M. of lodge
Unity. 3411. took place last Tuesday at the lodge held at
the Town-hall. More than usual interest attached to the
meeting, in consequence of this being a new departure in
the history of the craft in Wareham_ For several years
pad lodge Unity has languished from various causes, but
of late under the guidance of the P.G. See., W. Bra
Coombs. of Dorchester, aid with the assistance of the
Wirubome brethren chiefly, led by Bro. E. T. Buddp
th interest in e craft Ina been revived, and it is ho
that the prosperity which at the present time characterises
the hslires of the province generally will be also shared
by lodge Unity. The unanimous election of Bro. Sudden,
the hearty co-operation of the Wimborne brethren, and
the zeal of the menders at Wareham, all point to a
successful year, and we heartily trust the anticipation
may be abundantly realised. The ceremony of installa-
tion was ably performed by W. Bra Jacob, of Weymouth,
almost the senior mason in the province, and who has for
more than half-a-century taken a warm interest in the
preeperlty of the craft. There was • large number of
visiting brethren present, including Bro. C._ W. Wyndham,
P.M. Bros. H. Ling, P.M., and Alfred Atkins, J.D., 417,
Dorchester. The newly installed W.M. appointed and
invested his officers as follows —& W., Bro. M. J. Guest,
J.W., Bro. C. H. W. Parkinson; Tr., Bro. C.
Yearsley, P.M., P.G.SL ; Sec., Bra It Hooper ; &D., Bra
C. W. Wyndham, P.P.G.S.Wks.,_ P.M. 506 and 1,114;

tions were made for balloting at the next lodge, The
installation banquet took place at Bro. Yearsley s, Red
Lion hotel, and was a most happy gathering. The repast provided was of the most elegant description. The emu
