FREEMASONRY IN DORSET.
A Provincial Grand lodge of the province of Dorset was
held at tiwanage on Wednesday last, and It was a highly
gratifying meeting. For the convenience of the brethren
Bro. Burt, of SMIIIIIIO, arranged for the "Heather Bell°
ha leave Poole for Swanage at 10'clork, while for those
fearing mot do aser there was an alternative route by
annnital. trona Warnhaan, but it would seem that amongst
other things the craft are not afraid of water, and the
larger number chose the sea route. Happily the weather
was exceedingly line, and the trip both going and return-
ing ITIIA meet enjoyable.
The lodge was held in the Mowlent Institute, a fine
building dedicated to SIVSZIAJO by the late Mr. Mowlens
for purposes of instruction and amusement, " not excluding
.s,asional meetings on Free Masonry," as a tablet in the
hall'records. When it was erected there seemed but small
Probability of • lodge being held there, but Mr. Mowlena's
prescience in this as in other matters hasbeen at length
demonstrated, 'awl Swanage is now one of not the least
amongst the good lodges of the province. The lodge was
opened shortly after noon, the Itizht Worshipful
Provincial Grand Master (Joseph Gundry, Esq.). being
supported by the D.P.G.M., Bro. Montagu, with Bro. G.
Hervey, Secretary at Grand Lodge. and Bros. P. Binckes,

congebe (Dorchester), either past or present Grand Lodge
Officers, together with Bro. F. 11 Woodford, P.P.G.
of Somerset, many emineat masons of Dorset, and a 'goodly
assemblage of the craft, all at whom were gathered under
their respective banners.
An interesting feature of the promoting" was an able
and valuable shire= by Bro. the Rev. W. 11- Heath, of
lettchatt, offering suggestions for promoting and increasing
the activity and vitality of lodges by study of the
philosophy -and history of the order, and by • larger
support of masonic charities, and to ensure their carrying
out to the fullest extent the crest characteristics of
Freemasonry- Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth. The
Mama, which was full of sound advice, wee thoroughly
appreciated and warmly applauded. At it. close, on the
motion of the IL W.(1.11., a vote of thanks was passed to
Bro. Heath. by acclamation.
At a subeequent period the R.W.G.M. congratulated
the ledge on the continued anal satisfactory progress of
craft masonry in the province. This harpy state of things,
he observed, was very largely due to the untiring energy
and masonic knowledge of the P.G.L. Sec. Bro. Coombe
- (applause), The Wareham Lodge had been resuscitated
through the assistance of the Win:lbw:to brethren, which
was also a matter for congratulation. The death-roll
dories the past year had been numerous, and he mentioned
with appreciative remarks the loss of Bros. Rev. W. J.
Buller, C. C. Barrett, G. Evans, .1. Penton. J. Maunder',
E. CasUeruse, J. Green, Moyle, Sir .I. De I.a Pole, and J.

as to have become important and powerfuL During
the past year they had succeeded in placing one boy in the
Boys' School, one on the Male Annuitant Fund, and one
on the Female Annuitant Fund. This year it was hoped
they would secure the election of another boy, and the
W.G.M. cordially commended the charities to the lodges
and members of the province for extended support. The

given to masonry by the prominent position in the malt
taken by the Prince of Wales. It was very gratifying

province of Dorset, and to know that for its size it is one
