In Memoriam .
BRO . WILLIAM GOMM . It is only within the last few hoars that the announcement of tho death of this esteemed Craftsman has reached ns . Bro . William Gomm , P . M . of the Royal Alfred Lodge , Ko . 780 , and for the past three or four years its Treasnrer , departed this life , after a short illness , on the 29 th ultimo .
Our worthy brother was a man of simple tastes , but he possessed a warm heart , and was ever ready to help those in distress . Of ample means , he never refused to listen to an appeal properly authenticated ; and merely asked for a
guarantee that the applicant was deserving of his assistance . Those who knew him best fully realised this , and knew beforehand they wo aid never appeal in vain . We tender to the members of his family our deep sympathy in the loss they have sustained .
Bro. Donald M. Dewar,
BRO . DONALD M . DEWAR ,
ASSISTANT GRAND SECRETARY OP THE MARK GRAND LODGE . IT is with sincere regret that we announce the very unexpected death , on Wednesday , the 23 rd instant
of Brother Donald M . Dewar , the much-respected Assistant Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Mark Master Masons of England and Wales , & c . Bro . Dewar had been only absent from his post during some two or three days , when the sad intelligence
of his decease became known , and , as a matter of course , even those who knew him but slightly were as much grieved as surprised at the unlooked for announcement . Our late Brother , during the five or six years he had held the important and responsible office of Mark
Assistant Grand Secretary , had so endeared himself to all who came in contact with him , officially or otherwise , by the uniform kindness and courtesy of his demeanour , that we are convinced every one , on hearing of his death , will feel as though he had sustained some great family
bereavement . Bnt the sorrow will be greatest in those branches of Freemasonry of which he had been for so long one of the brightest ornaments . Bro . Dewar bad worked most assiduously , and it will be no detraction from the merits of others who had worked with him that he had
rendered almost incalculable service to tbe Mark and other Degrees , and that a considerable share of their present prosperity was due to his zeal , energy , and ability . He had taken a leading part in all the principal events which grace their history during the past few years , and very great difficulty will be experienced in selecting a successor who will fulfil the duties which his death has made vacant as ably and as courteously as he did .
The chief interest in connection with Bro . Dewar ' s Masonic career attaches to his official position in the Mark Grand Lodge . We know him to have been a Craft and Arch Mason of great experience , but we know him best in the capacity we have mentioned . His post was in the unices
ot the Mark Degree , Red Lion-square , and there till within the last few days he was to be seen labouring quietly , but none the less successfully , to advance the prosperit y of his Order . He had held high office in his Grand Lod ge—that of G . M . Overseer—before his aDDointment tn
the Assistant G . Secretaryship , but tbe distinction pertaining to the former is as nothing by comparison with that which he had achieved in the latter . In the former case he was one of several brethren who all enjoyed the same rank and privileges ; in the latter he stood alone , and there is no
questioning the fact that whatever he put his hand to , he carried out loyally and well . The same must be said of him m the various other positions he held—as a member of the brand Master ' s Royal Ark Council , as P . P . G . Recorder of the Grand Council of Royal and Select Mastersand as G
, . Secretary of the Grand Council of the Allied Degrees , while we may be sure it was no idle distinction that was conterrecl upon him when the Supreme G . R . A . Chapter of ermont
T appointed him its representative near the Mark jmnd Lodge of England , and the Grand Councils of Louisiana and Michigan chose him in the same capacity " ear our Grand Council of R , aud S . M . He was also
Bro. Donald M. Dewar,
Knight Grand Cross and Intendant-General of Division Unattached in the Order of Rome and the Red Cross of Constantine , and was not only a Life Governor of the two Schools and the Benevolent Institution , but had also served the office of Festival Steward to each of those Charities ;
the Mark Benevolent Fund having likewise received from him much valuable assistance , both as a liberal supporter and as a warm advocate of its claims for support . In fine , if the duty now devolving : upon us is a sad one , we have at least the consolation of knowing that of no brothor would
it be possible to pen a brighter or more honourable record than of Bro . Donald M . Dewar , and wo trust the knowledge that his qualities of mind and heart were so generally appreciated will be accepted by the members of his family as in some slight measure an alleviation of their great sorrow .
Dinner And Presentation To Brother Harbour.
DINNER AND PRESENTATION TO BROTHER HARBOUR .
BROTHER Joseph Harbour , who lately retired from the Governorship of the Incorporated Society of Lioensed Victuallers and of •toe Licensed Victuallers' School , the arduous duties of which he had discharged with eminent advantage to both dnring the past twelve months , was entertained on the 17 th inst ., at a banquet at the Holborn Restaurant , given him "b y bis late colleague ? on the
Committee of Management and a nnmerons body of friends in the Wholesale and Retail branches of the Trade , and presented with a valuable service of plate , purohased with the subscriptions of his colleagues , supplemented by a sum of one hundred guineas unanimously voted for the purpose at the recent Quarterly Court of the Incorporated Society , in grateful recognition of the valuable services rendered by him to both branches of the Institntion during his year of office .
The post just vacated by Bro . Harbour , entailing ou its occupant the duty , among the rest , of providing for the annual expenditure of the Sohool ( now exceeding £ 7 , 000 ) , is necessarily an onerous and anxious one , under the most favourable circumstances ; but last year its ordinary difficulties were immensely aggravated by the adverse condition of trade , which , as we well know , exercised a most unfortunate influence on the interests of all Benevolent Institutions depending
for their support on the voluntary contributions of their patrons . Over the exceptional difficulties of his term of office , however , the late Governor so completely triumphed , that his year has olosed with , the splendid total of upwards of £ 7 , 300 obtained for the funds of the School , a result which , so far as the Subscription Fund ia concerned , entitles it to rank as the sixth best year it has had since the
establishment of the Panel in 1807 . Among the principal circumstances to which the Institution is indepted for this unhoped for success in a most inauspicious year must be mentioned the fortunate issue of the Anniversary Festival , held at the Crystal Palace in Jnne last , under the presidency of Captain Townshend , of the firm of Samuel Allsopp and Sons , Burfcon-on-Trent , the subscription and donation list on
which occasion reached tho sum of £ 5 , 300 . Bro . Harbour has been throughout his year sustained , also , by the continued liberality of the Wholesale Trade and its numerous connections , and one piece of particularly good fortune fell to his lot in the receipt of a legacy of £ 200 from the executors of the late Mr . James Marsh , of Nottinghill . With the zealous and hearty co-operation of his colleagues , he
has , in a word , made an exceedingly good year for the Institution , under cirenmstanoea most unpropitious for the work he had undertaken , and he had the further satisfaction of handing over to his successor , in the highest state of efficiency , and with improved prospects , the noble School in Kennington-Iane which he had so energetically worked for and so ably administered .
Mr . William H . Beaucharnp , who occupied the chair at the banquet on the 17 th , in well chosen words proposed the toast of the evening , " The health of the late Governer , Mr . Joseph Harbour , " and then made the presentation , which , he said , was the principal object for which they had met . The testimonial took the form of a Salver , together with a Silver Tea and Coffee Service , and other articles for
Mr . Harbour , and a suite of jewellery for Mrs . Harbour , in recognition of the valuable services she had rendered in superintending the domestic arrangements at the Schoot . The several articles were of elegant design and admirable workmanship , and were supplied by Bro . Youous , of Brixton Road , whose taste and ability in providing snch matters are now recognised by many members of the Craft . Knowincr as ws do the merits of thn Institutions Mr . Harbour has
lately been at the ho id of , and the care required to nil the post as he has done , we can but add our congratulations to him on the result of his labours and the recognition they have met with at the hands of his fellow workers .
