Now Ready,—Th e Freemasons ' Calenda r & Pocke t Book for 1901, Pric e 2/-, by Post 2/1J. The result of these inquiries may be briefly summed up so hear.) Captain Barlow looked upon London as his Masonic home, having made his friends there, far as the lodges and chapters now on thc roll are concerned. and he (Colonel Sewell) did not think the charge of wresting his qualifications could be raised against his supporters. Captai n In 1847, when the late Bro. DOBIE was appointed to office as Barlow had never been absent from the John Hervey Lodge except twice Prov. G. Master of Surrey, there were five of the lodges and three since his initiation, and the reason he was then absent was that he was re- quired as a Volunteer to be in the country. Being an old Volunteer him- of the chapters working ; now the muster- roll comprises 45 self , he (Colonel Sewell) could say that a large number of the service had a lodges and 17 chapters. But Bro. Brig.-Gen. DAVIS, who had true appreciation of Bro. Captain Barlow as a good fellow, not only to the service generally, but to Masonry, and a great many of them who were the honour of being appointed Dep. G.D.C. in Grand Lodge and Masons were anxious he should represent them as Grand Treasurer this G. Std. Bearer in G. Chapter, in 1S3S, is a Mason of long and tried experience. He was initiated under the Scottish Con- stitution in St. Mungo Lodge, No. 27, Glasgow, in 1858. But in February , 1863, he joined our Britannic Lodge, No. 33, and has filled the chair of W.M. He was exalted in St. James's Chapter, No. 2, in 18 77, and installed its First Principal in 1884. He has also shown his goodwill towards our Charitable Institu- tions by enrolling himself as a Life Governor of each.
