BRO . W . H . CROOKES , PROVINCIAL GRAND SECRETARY OF DURHAM . Last week we recorded with deep regret the death of Bro . William Henry Crookes , of Sunderland , who for quite a quarter of a century was the Provincial Grand Secretary of Durham . His death took place after a few days illness , on Wednesday the 15 th inst ., at his residence , in Talham
Street , Sunderland . The deceased had been long and honourably associated with Masonry , and important Craft honours had been conferred upon him from time to time . Simple and genial in deportment , he won his way into the hearts of all his acquaintances , while his knowledge of Masonry , and his efficiency in those details which Alasons alone can aiipreciate , rendered his presence in a lodge most
desirable . In the office of Grand Secretary of the Province he gave unbounded satisfaction to all , from the noble R . W . P . G . AL down to the humblest member of the Order . There are very few in the province who can fulfil the duties with equal satisfaction , and it is hoped that the brother to whom his fellow Alisons by common consent turn as the only one really equal to the task will be induced not merely
to undertake the duties pro tern , butpermanently . That the death of a brother so highly esteemed as the late Prov . Grand Secretary should evoke a manifestation of feeling among FYeemasons generally was only natural , and the attendance of representatives of lodges from the Tees to the Tyne , at the funeral wlvch took place on Saturday last , though large not surprising A special Provincial
Grand Lodge vvas held at the Alasonic Hall , Sunderland , in order to follow Bro . Crookes's remains to their last resting place . The lodge was called by order of the R . W . Prov . Grand Alaster , the Alarquess of Londonderry , K . P ., by Bro . R . Hudson , acting P . G . S ., and about 300 provincial officers and other brethren assembled in full Masonic clothing .

I he Acting Provincial Grand Alaster , in alluding to the sad event which had brought the brethren from so many distant parts together , said the tribute to the departed which they had met to pay vvas well deserved , and as Alasons they could not well do better than strive to follow the example set ihem by their deceased brother . He felt certain that he expressed the general feeling of regret that all experienced at losing so valuable an adviser and member
of the Order , and they condoled with the relatives and intimate friends of the deceased at the removal from among them of one so highly loved and esteemed . Bro . R . Hudson informed the brethren that having acquainted the Alarquess of Londonderry , R . W . P . G . M . ' , of the death of their Provincial Grand . Secretary , he had received a letter , in reply , thanking him for having undertaken the charge of the funeral proceedingsand asking ,
, considering the loss the Provincial Grand Lodge had sustained , whether he would not undertake the duties of Grand Secretary . Bro . Hudson further said it was his intention , with the aid of the Grand Officers , to comply with the request of the R . W . Grand Alaster , and undertake the duties of Grand Secretary until the next Grand Lodge—an announcement which was received with loud and unanimous applause .
The acting P . G . M . observed that the brethren would appreciate the great advantages the Province would derive if Bro . Hudson complied with the request of the P . G . AI . The lodge then adjourned , and the brethren formed in procession , according to the order of their lodges , and proceeded to the residence of the deceased . Subsequently the march vvas resumed , and a hearse and a number of carriages leading the way to Sunderland Cemetery . The chief

Liddell , Mr . R . B . Lutert ; thiid carriage , Air . Bell , Mr . Halfnight , Air . G . Lord , Air . VV . Craven . Upon reaching the cemetery the brethren took up a position at each side of the entrance path , and as the remains weie borne along by the pall-bearers the brethren stood in
solemn silence with heads uncovered . They afterwards formed in behind the chief mourners . At the church and the grave the Rev . J . J . Brown , acting P . G . Chaplain , officiated in a most impressive manner . The remains were deposited in a brick vault . The coffin was of oak , panelled , with brass mountings . The brass plate bnre the simple inscription : " William Henry Crookes , died Alarch 15 th , 1 SS 2 . Aged 5 S years . " The undci takers were Alessrs .
