all of his former efforts on this occasion. The

Sir AieTdnder HOllenJrook Holt Highly Hon.
0red.-As special mark of distinction rarely
bestowed, and then only for extraordinary SER
vices rendered for the rite, the Grand Cross of
the Court of Honor was by unanimous vote con-
ferred upon Sir Alexander II. Holt, 32d degree,
at the meeting of the Supreme Council Thurs
day, at noon. This is considered the highest
honor that can be conferred upon any Mason,
and is more highly appreciated by far than the
33d degree 1t was the only one conferred
throughout the entire jurisdiction, and the
Masons of the District highly appreciated the
honor to one OF their own number Brother
Hollis services to the Scottish Rite, as well as
his activity in behalf of the York Rite, have
endeared him to his brethren by many ties of
fraternal regard, respect, and esteem. AT once
one OF the most popular and esteemed of our
brethren, he combines genalty which is un-
paralleled in the jurisdiction
