WILLIAM PARKMAN LODGE. This is a new Lodge, located in the pleasant village of Winchester, in Middlesex County. It having worked the past year under Dispensation, a Charter was granted to it by the Grand Lodge on the 14th of June, and on the evening of the 22d it was duly Constituted, its Hall Dedicted, and its officers Installed by the M. W. Grand Master, assisted by a full delegation of the officers of the Grand Lodge. The Constitution and Consecration were in private. At the Dedication and Installation of officers the ladies were admitted, wh were present in large numbers. For their better accommodation the latter ceremony took place in the Lyceum Hall, which was beautifully and emblematically decorated with flags and other devices. In the East was a rich Canopy, bearing on the face of the arch, in gilt letters, the words WILLIAM PARKMAN LODGE, and on its base, the word WELCOME. In the West was also a Canopy bearing the words Faith, Hope, Charity, and the other portions of the Hall were decorated to correspond, The whole design was in good taste and well carried out. The artist was Mr. Beal of this city.

The Masonic Hall is one of the prettiest in the State, - neat in all respects, and admirably adapted and furnished for the purposes for which it is to be used. The ante-rooms are small but convenient, and fitted up in the same good taste that characterizes the main room.

At the conclusion of the Masonic ceremonies the large Hall was given up to the ladies, and soon converted into a Fairy scene, with tables spread with the luxuries of the season, and decorated with the choicest flowers. The magic hand of beauty was visible everywhere, and bright eyes and joyous faces ruled the hour. It was an occasion to be treasured up among the pleasant memories of the past.

As a finale, short speeches were made by the Grand Master and some other Brethren; at the conclusion of which the company dispersed, all apparently gratified and happy.

The Lodge has done a good business the past year, and starts off on its new career under the most encouraging prospects. It is in most excellent and reliable hands, and its future can hardly fail of eminent and enduring success.

The officers for the year are as follows:-

  • Albion K. P. Joy, W.M.
