Provincial Grand Chapter Of Wiltshire.
PROVINCIAL GRAND CHAPTER OF WILTSHIRE .
The annual meeting of the Provincial Grand Chapter of Wiltshire was held at the Masonic Hall , Devizes , on Friday , the 12 th inst ., under the presidency of the Grand Superintendent for the province , the Right Hon . Lord H . F . Thynne , M . P ., Past G . N ., who was supported bv Comns W Nott P . G . H . ; TH . Chandler , P . P . G . H ., as P . G J . ; Hf C . Tombs , P . G . A . Soj ., P . G . S . E ., and other officers , present and past , and companions of the province .
The report of the Charity Committee recommended that a grant of ^ 21 be made to the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution , to be placed upon the list of Comp . John Chandler , P . P . G . H ., who had offered to represent the province as Steward at the next Anniversary Festival of that Institution , at which festival Sir Michael Hicks-Beach , the Prov . Grand Master of Gloucestershire , a province with which Wiltshire had been , and was now , in intimate connection as regards Charity organisation , was to preside .
The Registrar ' s report was read , giving , as usual , an account of the present position of Arch Masonry in the province . The M . E . SUPERINTENDENT , in addressing the companions , referred to the figures given in the Registrar ' s report as being most satisfactory ; one new Chapter , the Methuen , No . 1533 , had been added to the chapters in the province since the last meeting , and he congratulated it on its flourishing position . This made five chapters in all , whilst the total number of
members of the Order , in the province was steadily increasing . His lordship alluded also to the Provincial Grand Chapter meeting for the first time at Devizes in consequence of the removal of the meeting place of the Chapter of Harmony from the Masonic Hall , Trowbridge , to the building in which they were then assembled , a removal which he trusted would give additional
strength to that excellent chapter . He recognised again with much pleasure the great boon to the province in the re-appearance of the Masonic Calendar under the able editorship of Comp . Nott , and trusted so useful a work would be continued and duly supported . He further alluded to the losses which in the past few years the Prov . Grand Chapter had sustained by death .
During the past year they had from this cause to deplore the loss of one of the most active companions in the province , viz ., Comp . Tasker , who was one of the Principals of the Thynne Chapter , No . 147 S , in which he had undertaken office to assist the companions there at the comparatively recent establishment of that chapter , and had continued to support it until his death . In response to an enquiry from the Grand Superintendent
, Comp . NOTT , P . G . Treas ., the Secretary to the Provincial Benevolent Fund and Charity Organization Committee , stated that such fund now received the general support of the lodges in the province , and fortunately , had as yet had no claim upon it for assistance , so that the whole of the annual income had been invested .
The Prov . Grand Superintendent then invested the Prov . Grand Officers for the ensuing year as follows : Comp . H . Kinnier , 355 ... ... ... Prov . G . H . „ T . P . Saunders , 632 ... ... ...

A collection of alms subsequently made was handed to the Treasurer of the receiving chapter to be devoted to the Devizes Cottage Hospital , or otherwise , as his chapter may direct . After the Provincial Grand Chapter was closed the companions dined together at the Bear Hotel , where the new host , Comp . N . J .
