In the ante-room was an interesting display of curiosities connected with the Craft. Two large cases near the entrance were filled with the unrivalled collection of Masonic Medals belonging to Bro. G. L. Shackles, of Hull. On the long table down the centre were shown aprons and collars, part of the large collection of Bro. F. J. W. Crowe, of Torquay, the handsome embroidery of many of the specimens eliciting the admiration of the ladies, while others were of considerable historical interest to those better acquainted with this branch of Masonic knowledge. One of the cases at the other end also contained some curious aprons exhibited by Bro. M. C. Peck, of Hull, and a fourth case contained one or two curious jewels, and a historical document of great interest, the patent granted by the Grand Lodge "Royal York of Friendship" at Berlin, in 1799, to H.R.H. the Duke of York as Representative of said G. L. at the G.L. of England. The text of this parchment is given further on. The patent, as well as a case of handsome Lodge Jewels, in silver and Scotch pebbles, formerly belonging to the extinct "Old Argyle Lodge," of Glasgow, were exhibited by Bro. G. W. Bain, of East Boldon.

The guests began to arrive about seven o'clock, and shortly after half-past seven, the I.P.M., Bro. Dr. W. Wynn Westcott, rose to apologise for the absence, through ill-health, of the W.M., the Rev. C. J. Ball, and to claim attention for the President of the evening, Major-General Sir C. Warren, who had undertaken the duties of President, as the senior Past Master of the Lodge. Sir Charles Warren wished that these duties had not been thrust upon him at quite so short a notice, as he found himself unprepared to address the brethren and their fair companions as he would have wished to do; but, in the name of the Lodge, he bid them all heartily welcome, and thanked them for assembling in such goodly numbers to help mark the completion of the first decade in the existence of the Lodge. He trusted the entertainment provided for them would prove of a satisfactory nature, so as to induce them to respond to any like invitation which might be tendered on some future occasion. He concluded by announcing that Bro. Sir Benjamin Ward Richardson, M.D., F.R.S., would now address them.

Sir B. W. Richardson then delivered an interesting oration, in which, for the benefit of the ladies especially, he rapidly glanced at the history of Freemasonry, and summarised some of the theories which had been formulated to account for its existence. With all the charm of manner and voice, for which he is so well known, Bro. Richardson kept the attention of his audience for some thirty-five minutes, the many little touches of humour relieving what in other hands might have proved perhaps a rather dry disquisition.

At the invitation of Sir Charles, the guests now turned to the fruit, ices, and coffee, etc., which were awaiting them, and the rest of the evening was spent in conversation, intermixed with music. The musical arrangements had been undertaken by Bro. Harry Tipper, who, besides delighting everyone with his charming bell-ringing, had provided an excellent programme of glees, songs, and instrumental pieces. He was assisted by the following artists:—The Royal Criterion Glee Singers, Miss Greta Williams, Miss Bessie Poole, R.A.M., and Miss Florence Tipper, R.C.M.

During the evening the manager of the Restaurant informed the Secretary that a party of Hindu Jugglers had just arrived in England, and were at that moment on the premises, and would be delighted to make their debut before an English audience on the present occasion. They were accordingly introduced, and proved a very acceptable though unexpected addition to the programme of the evening, performing some clever sleight-of-hand tricks, besides the famous Mango and Basket tricks, with which every traveller in the East is acquainted.

It was almost eleven o'clock before the brethren and their ladies began to leave, and the evening was considered so successful that many of the guests ventured a hope that it might be made an annual event.

Exhibit at the Conversazione.

THE PATENT OF H.R.H. THE DUKE OF YORK

above mentioned, is a parchment document 19in. by 14in. The text is enclosed by the representation of a wooden, oblong frame, ornamented with a curious irregular key-pattern, 15in. by 8in. over all, and about an inch and a quarter wide. In the centre of the top style is an irradiated circular seal. The legend round the rim reads: Sigillum Magni Latomorum Coetus R.Y. De Amicitia Dicti Berolini. Within this at top, a crowned eagle flying, holding in sinister claw an orb, and in dexter, a sceptre. At bottom, III. Idus Junii | MDCCXCVIII., in two lines. Between the eagle and the date a shield, blazoned, Azure, between three doves with olive-branches, one and two, a pair of compasses with three legs extended, on a Y, or. Supporters, dexter, a griffin; sinister, a sphinx. In the centre of the bottom style, a sphinx, sejant. The whole of the above is printed from an engraved plate. The text within is manuscript, and reads as follows:—

In Consummatione Lux A La Gloire du G .·. A .·. de L'U .·. d'un lieu tres fort et tres eclaire, d'ou part la vraie Lumiere. Force, Union, Prosperite et Salut.

The signatures are, of course, autographs. On each upright of the frame towards the bottom is a square stone depicted. On the sinister one is the signature "Amelaub, Gr. Secretaire"; but the dexter one remains blank. Possibly H.R.H. should have signed here, but if so, he has omitted to do it. Lest any brother proficient in French should object to some of the accents in the above, it may be as well to state that they are so given in the original.

Passing through a slit in the lower dexter corner of the frame is a ribbed yellow ribbon, 2-inches broad, finished with a gold fringe, and attached to it, enclosed in a box is a seal, similar to the engraved seal already described, 2½-inches diameter and beautifully preserved. A 1½-inch shorter blue ribbon is passed through the same slit, and bears a small red wax seal with armorial bearings, too broken and indistinct to describe with accuracy. Similarly placed in the sinister corner is a 2-inch white ribbon with silver fringed ends, and a red seal in box. The legend round the edge is: Lux primus & novissimus oriens F. F. latom. R. Y. D. A. in consummatione. Within this is a serpent forming a ring. Superposed on this ring are two small discs, one, two, and two, forming a pentagon. The upper one is gules, with the letters Alpha and Omega. No. 2, proceeding sun-wise, is gules, an

equilateral triangle or, with Jehovah in Hebrew. No. 3, argent, a quadrangle vert, with I.X. in monogram. No. 4, sable, a lyre and anchor in saltire with crescent and star above. No. 5, gules, a Latin cross with rose branch and rose. Within these, forming the centre of the seal, a larger disc, argent, on it a Y, across the stem of the Y, a G, above the Y, dexter, an ant; sinister, an eye within a triangle.

On the lower margin of the document are two visas, showing that H.R.H. Prince Augustus Frederick visited the Prince of Wales' Lodge at the Thatched House Tavern on the 16th July and the 21st November, 1800. The signatures are: Will. Bridgman, A.M., Rd. Whalley Bridgman, Sen^r. W., Robert Griffin, Jun^r. W., Ja. Heseltine, G.T. in the one case, and: Geo. Corry, R.W.M., John Hunter, S.W., and John Phillips, J.W.; and in both cases: Cha. Bicknell, Secretary. Truly, a most interesting document, upon the possession of which Bro. Bain is to be congratulated.

THE ARCH AND TEMPLE IN DUNDEE.

BY BRO. THOMAS A. LINDSAY.

WHEN I made the promise to our Secretary re the Arch and Temple in Dundee (A.Q.C. VII., 194), I did not anticipate the difficulty I would have in getting the information necessary to supplement the documents I had in my possession. I am now satisfied that I have procured all that can be obtained on the subject and that another must take the matter up if we are to get more light.

"Union Encampment of Knight Templars, Dundee, No. 16, 24th June, 1809."

"This minute book, transcribed from the old minute books from the 24th June, 1809, to the 24th June, 1818, by Alex. Mudie, a Knight Templar."

Such is the statement which meets the eye on opening the minute book of the above named Encampment. We are then informed that "At a meeting of Knight Templars they resolved to form themselves into a friendly or benefit society." They then chose thirteen office bearers and agreed to the following articles:—

1. That the Society shall be called the Union Encampment of Knight Templars, and that none but such as are Royal Arch Masons can be Dubbed a Knight Templar according to Ancient Custom amongst Templars.

2. Everyone dubbed a Knight Templar shall pay ten Shillings into the Fund and a sixpence to the Secretary and the same to the Guard as their Dues.

3. Every article belonging to the Encampment shall be carefully marked in the books so that there may be a proper Inveter taken once every year.

4. Every member shall be duely warned of all the meetings if he resideth in Dundee, and when assembled the stickest and Deacentest Order shall be observed and no member intoxicated with Liquor shall be admitted on any pretence what ever and any member or members who shall use Turbelance fraud or decetfulness, or a swearer or a drunkard after being openly admonished and still persisting shall be cut of from the Society.

5. No Treasonable motions shall be made or adopted or Sedetion against the Laws of God or the Laws and Regulations of men. Whereas we the present members adopt the same whose names here followeth."

Then comes a list of thirty-three names, but this list is somewhat misleading, for a number of the names are those of members who were afterwards admitted, although some on their admission are mentioned as "old members."

Turning to an old cash and minute book, the heading of which is "The Journeyman Mason Royal Arch Society, Dundee," we have the same list of names after the same articles with the exception of the first, second, and third.

The first exception debars the Master of the Journeyman from being Master of the "Thistle," a Masonic Lodge. The second provides for the other office-bearers being office-bearers in the "Thistle," and the third states "every person shall pay ten shillings for receiving the whole of the Arch."

The Knights agreed "that every member shall pay a sixpence every Quarter," so they met every quarter day to collect accounts, and "dub Knight Templars, Malta and Red Cross" those who craved to be admitted into the Order.

On 13th February, 1811, they received a letter of Dispensation from the "Royal Grand Conclave of Scotland" which had by this time been formed by a number of Scottish Encampments joining under a representative governing body with H.R.H. the Duke of Kent as Patron and Knt. Alex. Deuchar as Grand Master.

---

The Arch and Temple in Dundee.

The charter was received on 12th February, 1813, and in May, 1814, the Encampment was duly consecrated by Sir John Deuchar, Pro-Grand Master. He seems to have been on a consecration tour in the counties of Fife, Forfar, and Perth, where a number of Encampments had been enrolled in towns and villages where now the Craft Lodge scarcely exists.

The "Union" seems to have given more or less assistance to the starting of six Encampments in this neighbourhood—none of them now exist.

The prosperity was short lived, for we find in 1816 the Knights of the Union instruct their Treasurer "to arrest Sir Alex. Watson's wages for the £1 0s. 10½d. he is owing and to prosecute Sir Steven Henery for the 15/- he is owing the Encampment."

In 1817 "It was unanimously agreed that all in arrears to the Encampment shall be charged to the Justice Court to make payment before the time specified for ballancing the books."

The Encampment, in 1821, "is fully convinced that it will never come to be a benefit society," so they agree to divide the funds and pay sixpence per quarter "to support the order." Three years after they increased that sum to one shilling; but in 1831 there were so few members present they agreed "that no cash be collected that night," and although they continued to meet every quarter until 1835, no more cash was collected. The last minute is dated 14th September, 1835, when they met for the election of office-bearers, "the election being over, no other business coming before the meeting, we spent the evening in the utmost of harmony, and the chapter was closed in due form."

The reference here to the Chapter is peculiar, for it is the only mention of the Encampment being closed as a chapter; whereas in the old minute and cash book of the Journeyman Royal Arch Society the minutes of the meetings always commence as "a meeting of the Royal Arch Society," and end "business being over the Encampment was closed in due form."

I have no doubt this minute and cash book of the "Journeyman" is the original of the Templar minute book; for the dates of meeting, the names of the candidates, and the cash received, all coincide with the records of the Knights.

No mention in either of the books is made of the agitation for alterations in the arrangements of the Royal Grand Conclave which was carried on in Edinburgh previous to 1833¹, and which led to the resignation in that year of the Grand Master, Sir Knt. Alex. Deuchar, who had held the office since the formation of Grand Conclave in 1811. With his resignation the Grand Conclave of Scotland practically ended. The changes and claims made, the admission of non-Masons, the throwing aside of old customs and traditions by the new body, the "Chapter General of the Religious and Military Order of Knights Templars —instituted 1818," could not but have a disastrous effect on provincial Encampments, and may partly account for the disappearance of the Union and other Encampments. Indeed, the only one remaining now in activity is the St. George's Aboyne Encampment, Aberdeen. There are, I understand, remnants of other two, but they have had no candidates for a number of years. Lately, the Chapter General made overtures to the St. George to join it and I believe that body is not against doing so; but I venture to say it will only be on its own terms, for tradition is strong in Aberdeen, and the ancient Brethren supported Deuchar.

The Journeyman Mason Royal Arch Society met in "Robert Ramsays Brewery Overgate" on the 24th June, 1809, to elect office-bearers. There is no word of forming a benefit society but "every present member paid one shilling towards the benefits of a fund" and agreed to the articles already indicated to which their names are attached. The same names appear as present at a meeting of the "Union Royal Arch Chapter," now No. 6, also held on the 24th June, 1809. The minute book of the Union Royal Arch Chapter is also transcribed from old minute books, by the same individual who transcribed the Temple minutes.

The signatures in the old minute book of the "Journeyman" are evidently those of the writers, journeyman masons who were likely to be following their calling during the day; so it seems somewhat curious that they should, on a summer evening in June, form a benefit society of "Knight Templars," be present at a meeting of "Journeyman" and also at the "Union Chapter." To make confusion worse it is on this same 24th June, 1809, that the first minute of the "Union" appears as such. Previous to that date it was known as the "Ancient Royal Arch Lodge" held within the Ancient Lodge Room, Dundee. The minute of 24th June, 1809, commences "at a meeting of the Ancient (in future to be called) the Union Royal Arch Chapter." No reason or explanation is given of the change in name, but it may be well to note that there is an interval of six years between that minute and the preceding one, also that a change in the designation of the principal office-bearers takes place. Z. H. & J. now appear instead of the First, Second and Third Grand Master. Previous to that date there were certainly Three Arch Lodges in Dundee—"St. David's," "Operative," and "Ancient," and if we may infer from the minutes of the "Journeyman"

---

to the concessions made and reference to the "Thistle," there were a number of Arch Masons in it. I can find no trace of the origin of the Arch in "St. Davids" or the "Operative," but the records of the "Ancient" are clear; so it is just possible that members of the former may have united under the banner of the latter, and so formed the "Union." It is certain that the Arch was defunct in "St. Davids" about 1800, and in 1817 the "Operative" was so inert that it took no notice of the formation of Grand Chapter. But both Craft Lodges are still active. The "St. David" opened a Chapter about twenty years ago, which is still active, but the originators had no knowledge of the Arch having ever been worked under the old banner.

In the "Ancient" Lodge Room, on 18th February, 1773, "The Ancient Superexcellent Royal Arch Lodge was duly constituted by Edward Brereton, Grand Master of the Superexcellent Royal Arch Lodge, No. 52, held in H.M. Thirty Seventh Regiment of Foot, with Richard Brodly belonging to same and Alex. Ross, Shipmaster in Dundee." It was worked according to the regulations received by Lodge No. 52, from the Grand Lodge of England. Bro. Brereton with the consent of the members of No. 52, sent "true copies of the original resolutions now in our Lodge" to the Ancient and through it to the other two Lodges in Town if they cared to accept them.

The first of these is a resolution of Grand Lodge of England, on December 4th, 1771; and the next was made at a General Chapter held the 3rd January, 1772. These and others that follow are for the guidance and admission of Arch members under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodges of England, Ireland, and Scotland, and are issued from the office of the Grand Lodge of England, Bow Street, Covent Garden, on 23rd January, 1773, by William Dickey, Grand Secretary.¹

These articles or regulations seem to have been considered as a form or a sort of charter and were accepted and put in force by the "Ancient" in Dundee, the "Enoch" in Montrose, and probably by Arch Lodges in Aberdeen and the North of Scotland, where the 37th Regiment was quartered in 1773.

Although the Arch, as well as the "Higher degrees," were worked by the Craft Lodges in Scotland long before that date—each according to its own rule—there can be no doubt that in issuing these regulations of the "Ancients" Grand Lodge of England, Bro. Brereton, and Lodge No. 52, gave Arch Masonry a lift up in their march northward.

In a letter before me, dated Montrose, 28th January, 1818, the writer, an enthusiastic Mason, states the "Arch was first established in Montrose by the Wool-Combers-Travellers from Ireland and also by them in Aberdeen." This was previous to 1764, for the writer records a conversation he had with an old Mason who was exalted that year. "The order they then practised prior to 1769 was, as they termed it, modern—which modern order then was the same now authorized by the Grand Chapter of England and Scotland, and in 1769 the Ancient way was given them by Travellers, Shipmasters, and Soldiers."

The writer of the letter held a position in the Inland Revenue, seemingly had a good deal of time at his disposal, held office in Craft and Arch in Montrose, Edinburgh, and Dundee, and in this letter regrets his inability to get at the Stirling records, which he thought would be the oldest records of the Arch in Scotland.

I have tried to give you what I thought might be of more than local interest, knowing you would overlook imperfections, and I trust my efforts may prove of some service to the brethren. Accompanying these minute-books I have found some circulars, and enclose transcripts. The first relates to the formation of the Deuchar Supreme Grand Royal Arch Chapter, and has never, to my knowledge, been published. The second is a form of petition to be received into the Order of the Temple, and is printed on paper bearing the water-mark "I.M., 1821."

CIRCULAR PROPOSING THE FORMATION OF A GRAND CHAPTER.

Edinburgh, 12th July, 1816.

SIR & BROTHER,

At a meeting of the Royal Arch Chapter of Edinburgh, specially convened, for the purpose of considering what steps would be most necessary to be adopted, to put the sublime degree of Royal Arch Masonry in Scotland upon a more respectable establishment than it is at present, the Most Excellent Principal, Brother Alexander Deuchar, in the chair. The Chapter having been regularly opened and constituted by prayer, the Most Ex Principal rose, and, in an able speech, entered at great length into the present state of Masonry in Scotland, taking a comprehensive view of the three great divisions of the Order,

Circular Establishing a Grand Chapter.

as Master Mason, Royal Arch, and Knight Templar. In the first place, he directed the attention of the Brethren to the first degree of Masonry, comprehending Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft, and Master Mason, which at present is flourishing in a very conspicuous manner, under the maternal and protecting influence of the Grand Lodge of Scotland,—a benefit the brethren of that degree had now enjoyed for nearly eighty years, and which he trusted they would enjoy till time should be no more. The Most Ex Principal next directed the attention of the Brethren, to the great benefit which had accrued to the exalted order of the Knights Templars, as one of the higher degrees of Masonry, since the establishment of the Royal Grand Conclave, about eight years since, under the patronage of His Royal Highness the Duke of Kent; that the Conclave now had no less than forty Encampments of Knights Templars, registered on their roll, in Scotland and the West Indies; by which means that beautiful degree of Masonry had been wrested from almost total oblivion, and the many abuses which existed in it, nearly, if not totally abolished. The Most Ex Principal then informed the Brethren that it was the prosperity attendant upon the establishment of the Conclave of the Templars, added to the knowledge of the Royal Arch Brethren in England having the satisfaction of sitting under the protection of a Grand Royal Arch Chapter, (over which His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex is Most Excellent Grand Principal) that particularly called his attention to the beautiful and interesting Order of Royal Arch Masonry, the intervening degree between Master Mason and Knights Templars. He trusted the brethren would feel with him the deepest regret that the Royal Arch degree should still be labouring under the grossest abuses; that a degree of Masonry, whose mysteries are so well worth the attention of men of literature and science, should be permitted longer to remain in oblivion; and, lastly, showed the impropriety of the intermediate degree remaining in a state of irregularity, while the other two were enjoying the benefit of a regular establishment. These sentiments having met with the most cordial approbation of every brother present, and several having delivered their sentiments in unison with their Most Excellent Principal they unanimously resolved, that measures should be immediately adopted to carry such a desirable object into effect: upon which the Most Excellent Principal Brother Deuchar moved, that a committee of seven intelligent brethren should be appointed, with full force to communicate the above resolution to all the Royal Arch Chapters in Scotland, and to take such measures as to them should seem most proper to carry the same into effect, when the following brethren were appointed, viz:

The M. Ex. Principal, Brother Alexander Deuchar. The R. W. Brother, Pat. Cunningham, Treasurer. The R. W. Brother, Murray Pringle, Secretary. The R. W. Brother, William Brydon, Priest. The R. W. Brother, Patrick Deuchar, Chief. The R. W. Brother, W. H. Blackie, 1st Sojourner. The R. W. Brother, James Gilchrist, Chamberlain.

At Edinburgh, 24th April, 1816.

The Brethren of the Committee appointed at the above Chapter having met, they made choice of the Most Excellent Principal Bro. Alexander Deuchar, as their Master, and Bro. M. Pringle as their Secretary; after which Bro. Deuchar suggested the propriety, that, as they were appointed for the purpose of giving and receiving information, they should, in compliance with Masonic form, drop the name of Committee, and adopt that of Lodge of Intelligence, which was unanimously agreed to. The members of the Lodge of Intelligence having taken into their serious consideration the purpose for which they had been appointed, and having taken a view of the present existing state of the Royal Arch Masonry in Scotland, found the whole might be classed under five distinct heads.

1. Those Chapters in Scotland already holding warrants from the Grand Royal Arch Chapter of England.

2. Those Chapters who have for a long period of years been established in Scotland, and that prior to the year 1800.

3. Those Chapters which are attached to the Encampments of Knight Templars, who hold of the Royal Grand Conclave of Scotland.

4. Those Chapters, if any, which are held under authority from Ireland.

5. Those brethren who have assumed the right, within these few years, of holding Royal Arch Chapters.

To these five heads the brethren of the Lodge of Intelligence would most particularly call your attention, especially to that particular head to which your chapter may properly belong, and beg leave to observe upon them.

---

1st. These Chapters holding under the Grand Royal Arch Chapter of England, to these Chapters the brethren of the Lodge of Intelligence would earnestly suggest the propriety of all the Royal Arch Chapters in Scotland being under one proper head, and hope the brethren of these Chapters will most cordially come forward and support the intended establishment, an outline of which they will find in the sequel of this circular.

2nd. Those Chapters who have been established for a long period of years, the Lodge of Intelligence are disposed to consider completely regular, according to existing circumstances. Those chapters, it is expected, will form the great body of which the Grand Chapter of Scotland will, in the first instance be composed. They are, therefore, requested to come forward with the utmost alacrity, as, failing proper vouchers of seniority, the receipt of their respective applications for being put on the roll for the present will be taken, upon the final adjustment of the roll. These Chapters are therefore requested most seriously to consider the propriety of this establishment, and, if possible, join the measure prior to the election, that the meeting of the Chapters may be as numerous as possible, which will be the greater inducement for gentlemen of rank and influence coming forward with their assistance.

3rd. Those Chapters which are attached to encampments of Knights Templars who hold charters from the Royal Grand Conclave of Scotland. These the Lodge of Intelligence consider also to be regular, as they are held under the tacit acknowledgment of the Royal Grand Conclave; and as being attached to a regular body, these Chapters it is expected will send in their adherence without delay.

4th. Those Chapters which are held under authority from Ireland. The Brethren of the Lodge of Intelligence are not aware if any of this description exist in Scotland; but if there are, they are requested to come forward and join the Grand Royal Arch Chapter, leaving the question of their regularity to the decision of the first General Meeting.

5th. Those Brethren who have assumed the right within these few years of holding Royal Arch Chapters, and making Royal Arch Masons; these the Lodge of Intelligence conceive to be completely irregular.

The Lodge of Intelligence then proceeded to draw up the plan for the establishment of the Supreme Grand Royal Arch Chapter of Scotland, subject to the approbation of the first General Meeting of that body, when the following resolutions were unanimously agreed to, viz:

Res. 1st. That a Grand Lodge or Chapter of the Royal Arch Order of Masonry be established in Scotland, under the designation of the Supreme Grand Royal Arch Chapter of Scotland.

Res. 2nd. That this Supreme Grand Royal Arch Chapter shall be composed of three representatives from each Royal Arch Chapter in Scotland who acknowledge her authority.

Res. 3rd. That the first General Grand Chapter composed of the representatives of chapters belonging to classes 1, 2, 3, & 4, be held in the month of October next, when the Grand Office-bearers are to be elected.

Res. 4th. That the Royal Arch Chapters belonging to classes 1, 2, 3, & 4, shall be put for the present upon the roll exactly in the order in which their respective applications to be so, shall be received by the interim Secretary.

Res. 5th. That the Chapters belonging to class 5, or any other competent number of Royal Arch Masons who may wish to join this Grand Chapter, shall be put on the roll exactly in the order in which their respective applications for charters shall be received by the interim Secretary.

Res. 6th. That the fees for extending the charters of confirmation to chapters belonging to classes 1, 2, & 3; the fees and consideration of those of class 4; and the fees of charters of erection of those of class 5; and also the dues to be charged for registration of the Royal Arch Brethren's Names in the books of the Supreme Grand Chapter of Scotland, be left to the determination of the first general meeting.

---

Circular Establishing a Grand Chapter.

Res. 7th. That the order of precedency upon the roll shall not be fixed until twelve months after the establishment of the Supreme Grand Chapter: and due notice will be given to the respective Chapters to send in their claims.

The Lodge of Intelligence then proceeded to draw up resolution for their own guidance, prior to the establishment of the Supreme Grand Chapter.

Res. 8th. That the secretary be instructed to put the names of all the Royal Arch Chapters in Scotland belonging to classes 1, 2, 3, & 4, who shall accede to the above plan, exactly in the order in which their respective letters of accession shall be received.

Res. 9th. That every Royal Arch Mason, being a member of a Chapter belonging to classes 1, 2, 3, or 4, who shall present a commission to the Lodge of Intelligence, appointing him representative for any Royal Arch Chapter, who shall accede to the above plan, shall be immediately considered as a member thereof.

Res. 10th. That the Lodge of Intelligence shall meet from time to time as may be necessary, to draw up the plans and arrangement for the constitution, consecration, and election of office-bearers of the Supreme Grand Royal Arch Chapter of Scotland, and also to give and receive every information relative to the above establishment.

Having now, Brother, laid before you such proceedings as have taken place with respect to this important business, may I, therefore, request the favour of your immediately calling together the Brethren of your Chapter, and laying the same before them for their consideration and I most sincerely hope they will see the propriety of the measure, and do everything in their power to promote its establishment. Should the members of your Chapter approve of the establishment of the Supreme Grand Royal Arch Chapter of Scotland, you will have the goodness, if it is not in the power of any of your office bearers to be present at their meeting in October, to send a proxy commission to some Royal Arch Brother in Edinburgh to appear in your name, and give in your accession to the establishment as soon as possible; and as he will thereby become a member of the Lodge of Intelligence, he will be able to give you every information with respect thereto. Should you not be acquainted with any Royal Arch Mason in Edinburgh, I shall be happy to afford you every assistance in my power in recommending you a person who shall be properly qualified to attend to your interest.

As the Lodge of Intelligence have not been able to ascertain all the Royal Arch Chapters in Scotland, I have annexed a list of the places and Lodges to whom this circular has been sent, that, should any other come under your knowledge, you may either send them your own letter for their consideration, or inform me of their address, and I shall forward one to them officially.

I have further to request, that should you know any Royal Arch Masons belonging to the 5th class, you will also promulgate the contents of this circular to them, and by brotherly advice prevail upon them to desist from their irregular practices, and apply for a proper warrant, by petition to the first General Supreme Grand Chapter. Such petition may be sent to me, and I shall lay it before the Lodge of Intelligence, and have no doubt of its being granted at the first general meeting of the Supreme Grand Royal Arch Chapter.

Any further information you may desire, by letter (post paid) addressed to me, Ladyfield Place, I shall be happy to afford you.

I am,

SIR & BROTHER,

Your most obedient servant,

(signed) W. Pringle, Secretary.

To The Secretary of the St. John's Royal Arch Chapter, DUNDEE.

The Committee agreed upon the following

REPORT.

BRETHREN,

In presenting this our Eighth Annual Report to the Lodge, we once more congratulate you on the good work done during the last twelve months, and on the excellent prospects with which the new year opens. The dark cloud upon the brightness of the expiring session is the death of our dear Brother Kelly, a member of our Inner Circle. We shall see him no more among us, but his memory will remain with us. Our membership has been increased by the admission of Bros. Malczovich and Conder, and now stands at 29. As Bro. Malczovich resides at Budapest, we shall not often have the pleasure of his company, but Bro. Conder promises to be with us frequently and has been appointed to office by the W.M. We are also glad to welcome once more to our meetings our two distinguished brothers, Major General Sir Charles Warren and Rear Admiral A. H. Markham, on their return from serving their country abroad.

In the Correspondence Circle we have several deaths to deplore, some of which touch us very nearly, and all have been duly recorded in our Transactions. There has been during the past year an accession of 387 members to our Outer Circle; which, after deducting losses by death, resignation and erasure, leaves us with a total of 1831. The constant increase in our numbers is in itself cause for gratification; but the addition to our strength is not to be gauged solely by a numerical standard. Several of the new members have already contributed articles to our columns; and there is evidence of a greater readiness on the part of many to add to the information in our "Notes and Queries."

Hitherto our Summer Excursions have been confined within very moderate limits of space and time; but in June last we ventured further afield, visiting Salisbury and Stonehenge, and extended the time over two whole days. That under these circumstances the excursion should have obtained even more support than usual, is highly gratifying; our choice of interesting spots to explore thus becomes greatly widened. We believe that, apart from the mere pleasure of visiting scenes of interest, these annual expeditions are of much benefit. They afford our widely scattered members an opportunity of passing a comparatively long time in the society of each other, enabling them to form new friendships and tighten already existing bonds; thus applying to our Lodge as a whole the strong cement of better acquaintance. With a membership so widely distributed as ours, these outings supply a want not otherwise easily satisfied.

On the 28th November last we completed our tenth year of existence, though not of actual work, and the opportunity was seized of marking the event by a Conversazione. Considerably over 300 ladies and gentlemen assembled on the occasion, which was so enjoyable that many present expressed a wish to see the Conversazione become an annual event. We are, however, doubtful of the wisdom of such a course; but if the members strongly desire it, their opinion will receive careful consideration. To those brethren who so kindly exhibited their collections of curios and interesting objects, we beg to tender our hearty thanks.

We are glad to be able to report well on the financial aspect of the past year. By a strict but judicious economy, we have been enabled to reduce considerably the adverse balance of the last three years. Our position is about £170 better than last year, and we confidently hope next year to report that the

---

Audit Report for 1894.

balance stands on the right side of the ledger. We think it will be conceded that economy has not been practised at the expense of efficiency; and that the brethren have received in return for their subscription, this year as during the past, full measure heaped up and running over.

The time has now arrived when some means should be adopted to lighten the labours of our Secretary. The work of the office has increased to such a formidable extent that he can no longer face the task unaided. There is much routine and detail which may very well be entrusted to a clerk. Such a step would materially lighten the labours of our Secretary, now often extending to 15 hours a day for many successive days. We have decided to allow him to draw £50 a year for the salary of a clerk.

The amount outstanding and due to the Lodge is unusually large this year. The cause of this is to be attributed in a great measure to the late season at which Reprints Vol. V. was brought out; so near, in fact, to the date at which the subscriptions become renewable, that members abroad have not been informed of their indebtedness. It was felt that to ask them for a remittance in November and again in December would be entailing needless trouble. Some of the other debts have also been contracted quite recently, and sufficient time has barely elapsed for their recovery. But there is no excuse whatever for the large amount due for 1894 subscriptions: and we regret to state that some 250 members have allowed a whole year to pass without discharging their obligations to the Lodge.

We append a statement of the chief accounts during the past twelve months; the nature of those not tabulated will be easily understood by a reference to the Summary of Cash.
