PRESENTATION AT THE PALLADIAN LODGE , No . 120 .
UNUSUAL interest attached to the monthly meeting , held at tho Green Dragon Hotel , Hereford , on the 6 th inst ., as it had been annouueed that Bro . O . Shollard P . M . 120 , P . P . G . S . W . ( Herefordshire ) , P . Z . ( Royal Arch Chapter ) , and Deputy Provincial Grand Master of Mark Masons of Gloucestershire and Herefordshire , was to be presented with a portrait of himself . The presentation was made
by Bro . Cullwiok W . M ., who said that , on behalf of the Lodge , he had great pleasure in presenting to Bro . Shellard that artistic presentment of himself . It had been the result of the ardent and unanimous wish of the brethren that there should bo in existence a good portrait of him , with his full Masonic honour * . The reoords of the Lodgo showed that Bro . Shellard had boen a subscribing member for
upwards of 30 years , that he had for many years been one of its consoripb fathers , ever ready to give tbo benefit of his long experience and splendid abilities to further the interests of tho Lodge and the happiness of its members . Tbo W . M . know ho was but echoing tho unanimous wish of the wholo of the brethren when bio said that long might Bro . Shellard live to see his other self , and to choor and en .
conrage his brethren with his eloquent words , genial manners , and pleasant face . In reply , Bro . Shellard said thai ; now nearly 15 years ' had elapsed since the Brotbren of tho Palladia : ) Lodge invited him to a banquet , at whioh he was presented with an address , eloquently worded , beautifully written , and elegantly framed , congratulatius ; him upon his having been for the second time elected to the office of
Mayor of tho anoient oity of Hereford . That address had over sinca occupied a prominent position in his dining-room , and it served to constantly remind him of the groat kindneBS ho had received nt tho hands of his Masonic brethren . Three years ago he was elected to the Mayoralty for the third time , but in Novembor last he owised to be a membar of tho Corporation . Happily for him , ho had
maintained hi 3 connection with tho Palladiau Lodge , and hy regular attendance , aud by taking nnflagging interest in its welfare , ho hud rotained the good opinion of hi-i brethren , and that eveuing he had reoeived yet another gratifying proof of their kindness and esteem . Tho address to whioh he had alluded was presented to him in December 1875 , by the then W . M . Bro . Guruey , a brother who was
much respected and beloved , and whom ho ( Bro . Shellard ) had had tbe privilege of initiating into Freeraaaony in 1866 . He was removed to the Grand Lodgo above some years ago . But in Bro . Cullwiok , tho present W . M ., thoy had a worthy successor to Bro . Gurnoy , and he had that evening most ably discharged what , ho was sure , had been a pleasant duty to him . He ( Bro . Shellard ) esteemed it a great
privilego to have received at Bro . Cullwick ' s hands that additional proof of their osteem and regard . Ho would be guilty of tho greatest , ingratitude if ho did not dooply feol and highly value the compliment which had been paid him , and be thought tho best acknowledgment he could make wonld be to ask them to allow fio portrait to bo planed and retained on the walls of his mother Lodge . At his age it
could not bo expected that ho would be very long spared to meet them , but whonever it shonld please the Groat Architoct of tho Universe to summon him to the Lodge above , he hoped that although absont in body ho would be permitted to be present in spirit , and that when they looked at tbe portrait they would recall with pleasure and satisfaction the numerous pleasant meetings they had bold
together , that they would forgot his failings and shortcomings , and wonld say of him that , " though dead , he yet speaketh " ; that " ha was not lost , but gone before . " In the meantime , so long as health , and strength , and opportunity were vouchsafed to him he wonld esteem it both a duty and a privilege to join them on every possible occasion , and to do all ho could for the benefit of the Lodge . On
behalf of the Lodge the W . M . said he had the utmost pleasure in accepting possession of that excellent portrait , which would bo an object of great interest and delight to every brother , for from tho length of yoars , tho readiness of wit , breadth and soundness of judgment , the gorgeousness of apparel , whioh at all times characterised
Bro . Shellard , ho would ever be viewed as the Solomon of tho Palladian . There was an unusually largo attendance at the Lodgo , and by all who saw it the portrait was pronounced to bo a " speaking " likeness , and a work which reflected tho greatest credit upon the artist , Bro . J . Thirlwall , of King Streot , Hereford . Subsequently a banquet took place , and a very pleasant evening was spent .
Tho Royal Gloucester Lodge of Freemasons at Southampton has a most interesting history , another chapter in which was opened on Thursday , tho 13 th inst ., when , in the presence of a large assembly of mombers or the Lodgo aud visiting brethren , the banner under which the Lodgo has worked for , probably , over a hundred years , and which is as tattered aa if it had beon carried through many battles , was
superseded by a new one , tho gift of tho W . M ., Bro . D . W . B . Tayle . In this connection ib ia itaeronting to learn that a work is in the press by Bro . U . Sadler P . M . P . Z ., sub-librarian of the Grnnd Lodge , entitled , " Thomas Dunckerley : his life , labours , and letters . " Dunckerloy was prominently identified with the early history of tho Gloucestor Lodge , but the story of his life will possess an interest for
tho " uninitiated or popular world , " as well as for the whole body of the Craft . Ho had a most romantic and eventful oareer as a naval man , and was the reputed son of George II ., in virtue of which he , presumably , had apartments in Hamptou Court Palace and an allowance . Dunckerley was vory intimately connected with Portsmonth while in the Navy , and there became a Freemason in 1750 , in tho old
Lodge of Antiquity . He was appointed Provincial Grand Master of Hampshire in 1767 , and again in 1786 , and died at Portsoa while on a vi * it in 1795 , and was buried at St . Mary ' u , Kingston . The later years of his life s era to have b on almost wholly devoted to F / oomasonry , aud ho looms large in the history of the Craft in the laltor half of tie eighteenth century , — Hampshire Independent .
