When organized it was learned that another Lodge in the state claimed the name of " Corinthian," consequently the word " Temple " was added. Since the date of its institution, eight members of the Lodge have died. Hamilton Chapter, No. 62, R. A, M. Probably no Chapter of Royal Arch Masons in the State of New York has so interesting a history as that of Hamilton Chapter. This Chapter had its inception from the desire of many members in Wells Lodge, No. 282, F. & A. M., to organize a branch of Capitular Masonry in Rochester. The following named brethren, eleven in number, were instrumental in procuring the warrant for Hamilton Chapter: Levi H. Clark, William Neafus, Chauncey Dean, William Cobb, William Johnson, Solo- mon Close, David C. West, Samuel J. Andrews, Benjamin Abel, Chauncey Cobb, Glover Fenn. At this time M. E. Companion Ezra Ames was Grand High Priest of the Grand Chapter, and DeWitt Clinton, General Grand High Priest of the General Grand Chap- ter. The charter for Hamilton Chapter was granted at the Annual Convocation of the Grand Chapter held at Albany, February 3, 18 19. The wording of the charter was as follows : " To Companions Levi H. Clark, William Neafus and Chauncey Dean, to hold a chapter at Rochester, within two miles of the bridge crossing the Genesee River, by the name of Hamilton Chapter, No. 62." In the language of Companion Thomas Gliddon, who writes most interestingly of this period : " Where is this bridge ? Undoubtedly it was the old bridge at Carthage which was completed that year — a bridge that was regarded as a bold feat in engineering, as it was con- structed with a single arch two hundred feet above the surface of the river. The bridge, however, has long since passed away. It is not easy to interpret the Grand Chapter record, and determine with accuracy where the nearest Chapters were then located. It is certain, how- ever, that west of Rochester only one or two had received charters earlier than 18 19. There was one at Geneva; and on the same day that Hamilton was chartered, Ontario Temple, No. 66, at Canandaigua, were likewise duly authorized with a charter." The first regular communication of Hamilton Chapter was held January 16, 1819, when William Cobb presided, and Companions Caleb L. Clark, A. Hamlin, William Neafus, Solomon' Close, David C. West, William Johnson and Ebenezer Watts were present. Brothers John G. Bond, William Brewster, William Atkinson, Phelps Smith and Harvey Gilman were proposed for membership. Levi H. Clark, William Cobb and William Neafus were ap- pointed a committee to draft a code of by-laws. Tradition informs us that the lodge room where the Chapter rnet was in the building ownod by Abelard Reynolds, on the site of the present Reynolds Arcade building. It was on January 28th of the same year that the Chapter opened for the first time on the " Seventh Degree," and received fiifteen petitions for exaltation. On the first of the February following these candidates received sublime degree of the Royal Arch : William Atkinson, Elisha B. Strong, Elijah Darrow, Rev. Comfort Williams, Ebenezer Watts, Benjamin Austin, Harvey Gilman, Oliver Culver, John G. Bond, Phelps Smith, Ira West, William Brewster, Charles Jackson, C. L. Clark, Augustine G. Dauby. The first installation of the officers of Hamilton Chapter occurred March 17, i8ig. At this time an oration was given by M. E. Companion Levi H. Clark, and the installation ceremonies were conducted by Most Excellent Companion and Reverend Alanson Welton, P. H. P. of Richmond Chapter. The following officers were installed: High Priest, Levi H.Clark; King, William Cobb; Scribe, Chauncey Dean; Captain of Host, Benjamin Abel; Principal Sojourner, Davis C. West ; Royal Arch Captain, William Neafus; Secretary, Benjamin Austin; Treasurer, William Atkinson; Third Vail, Elisha B. Strong; Second Vail, Rev. Comfort Williams; First Vail, William Johnson; Stewards, Phelps Smith, Ebenezer Watts ; Tiler, Elijah Darrow. The original seal. of this Chapter was procured by the Past High Priest William Cobb, May 29, 1822, at a cost of $s-oo- It was the custom of those days to celebrate St. John's Day. This was generally done in conjunction with the members of Wells Lodge. It was not until Feb- ruary 10, 1823, that Hamilton Chapter purchased its first set of robes at a cost of $260.00. 12 ">/ , '"? w-i ■",.' ■ . ■/. • >'i-i. "" MATTHEW JAMES STEEL Our Tiler In 1828, we are told that the Chapter again came to its place of meeting and Brother Gliddon in writing of the history of this period says : "I suspect that this lodge room was in the old building that formerly stood on the east side of Exchange Street near the canal bridge where the Ailing and Cory building is now located, and also that a little further south on the same side of the street, opposite Spring street, Jonathan Child erected a very fine edifice which was called the Model Building and in it was a suite of rooms arranged for Masonic meetings. This, however, was never occupied for Masonic pur- poses." The same authority says : " The period known in American history as the days of anti-Masonry was in the year, 1828, hastening to a climax of intense excitement, particularly throughout all this region. No allusion, how- ever, is made to this matter in any of the records of Ham- ilton Chapter, but we know for a fact that the Compan- ions ceased to meet very soon after the annual election of pecember 17, 1828. " The charters of Lodge, Chapter and Commandery were surrendered in 1829 or 1830. Although the con- flict was fierce and prolonged it did not destroy the insti- tution for the foundation of the Masonic edifice had been too securely laid. Early in January, 1834, an " Address to the Fraternity of Masons in the State of New York '' was published in this city strongly recommending " That all the Lodges and Chapters in the State return -their charters, dispose of the funds and property on hand to some other benevolent purpose, and let the institution expire in the arms of its members." William Neafus was the only one of the charter members who signed this address. It was at the Annual Communication of the Grand Chapter in 1846, that " A petition from several Compan- ions, former members of Hamilton Chapter No. 62, pray- ing that the said Chapter may be revived, was read and referred to the standing committee on Warrant. As a result of this action the committee reported in favor of returning the charter of Hamilton Chapter No. 62, at Rochester, to Companion William Brewster, and the other petitioners, and that they be authorized to hold an elec- tion of officers and resume the labors of a Chapter and that all dues be remitted up to that time. Thus Hamil- ton Chapter started on the second period of her brilliant career of usefulness. William Brewster was elected High Priest ; Ebenezer Watts, King ; Erastus Cook, Scribe ; Luther A. Allen, Secretary, and Charles C. Lathrop, Treasurer. The succeeding years were periods of great activity and a very substanial increase in membership. At the close of the year 1856, the Chapter was at the flood tide of its prosperity having a membership of 107 members, being the largest Chapter in the state with one exception, that of Buffalo Chapter No. 71, with a membership of 149. In 1859, Hamilton had reached first place in the sisite with a membership of 175. This record Hamilton has never allowed to be broken and she still stands to-day the largest Chapter in Capitular Masonry in the State of New York, her present membership being 980. During all the years that have gone, Hamilton Chap- ter has been favored with a membership comprising some of the brightest and ablest workers that this state has ever produced. The regular convocations of this Chapter are held on the second and fourth Thursday evenings of each month. The present officers of Hamilton Chapter are High Priest, Frederick R. Smith ; King, George F. Argetsinger; Scribe, Charles S. Owen; Treasurer, Frederick S. Rogers; Secretary, John Alexander; Captain of Host, Charles J. Gliddon ; Principal Sojourner, Ward K. Ange- vine; Royal Arch Captain, George E. Hatch; Master Third Vail, M. VanValkenburg ; Master Second Vail, William C. Smith ; Master First Vail, Thomas G. Young; Chaplain, Rev. Samuel J. Clarkson ; Sentinel, Matthew J. "Steel ; Organist, Frederick A. Reynolds ; Trustees, S. M. Benjamin, William H. Jones, George F. Loder. Ionic Chapter, No. 210, R. A. M. The first step towaiti the organization of a second Chapter of Royal Arch Masons in Rochester was taken at a meeting of Hamilton Chapter, May 31, 1867, at which meeting a petition headed by William F. Holmes asking the Grand IJigh Priest to issue a, dispensation to organize a new Chapter in the city of Rochester was brought up for consideration. On vote, Hamilton Chap- ter recommended that the dispensation be granted, and on the twenty-second of the following June Seymour H. Stone, Grand High Priest, issued a dispensation to form Ionic Chapter, and in February, 1868, the warrant was granted to Companions William F. Holmes, High Priest, George W. Stebbins, King, and Albert G. Wheeler, Scribe, and their associates, to hold a Chapter at Roches- ter, in the county of Monroe, to be known'as Ionic Chap- ter, No. 210. The list of charter members is as follows : William F. Holmes, John McConvill, William S. Thompson, George A. Reynolds, James S. Garlock, Edwin Taylor, H. P. Langworthy, Andrew J. Warner, George W.

Doric Council, No, 19, Royal and Select Masters, was organized October 31, i860, and from its earliest years it has been one of the most prosperous councils of the Cryptic Rite in the State. The work of this Council has always been most favorably known on account of its accuracy and the zeal with which its officers and members have carried ttn the work during the forty-two years of its history. Its membership at the present time is 311, and last June its present Thrice Illustrious Master was hon- ored by being elected to the highest office in the gift of the Grand Council of the Empire State. This was but a fitting recognition of the many years of distinguished ser- vice given by Grand' Master Bradt, not only to the work of Doric Council, but to conscientious service in the Grand Council of the State, through all of whose subor- dinate offices he had served with credit to himself and honor to the Council which he represented.

Monroe Commandery, No. 12, Knights Templar, is one of the oldest and best known commanderies not only in the State of New York but" also in the United States. * Deceased, t Suspended. The first date in the original record book relating to the organization of Monroe Encampment (old style) of Knights Templar, is June 14, 1826. We find at this early date that in pursuance with a notice given, the Sir Knights assembled in their first regular conclave on the loth of July, 1826, and completed a permanent organization by the election of the following officers: Rev. Francis H. Cuming, Grand Commander; Jonathan Child, General- issimo; Abelard Reynolds, Captain - General ; Jacob Gould, Prelate; Edward Doyle, Treasurer; Henry B. Willams, Secretary ; Simeon P. Allcott, Senior Warden ; , Ebenezer Watts, Junior Warden ; Charles G. Cumings, Standard Bearer ; Joseph Frazer, Sword Bearer ; Charles C. Lathrop, Warder. These officers were publicly installed July 13. 1826, the installation ceremonies taking place in St. Luke's Church, on Fitzhugh street, of which Rev. Francis H. Cuming was at that time the rector. The early history of the Commandery indicates an unusual degree of prosperity, a large number of the most prominent business and professional men having con- nected themselves with the order .very soon after its organization. There seems to have been no set back in the pros- perity of the Commandery until . February 27, 1829, at which time the Anti-Masonic excitement was at its height, and the Commandery deemed it for thq best interest of all concerned that the warrant of Monroe Encampment should be temporarily surrendered, which was done on the 15th of August, 1839. Early in the winter of 1847-48, the Sir Knights of Monroe Encampment petitioned the Grand Encampment for a return of their charter and the request was granted, and from January 28, 1848, to the present time, the career of Monroe Commandery has been one of unexampled prosperity in Templar history. In the work of reorganization, William E. Lathrop took a leading part, arid was chosen Commander for a ' number of consecutive terms. This Cornmandery was for many years the largest in membership in the State, and at the present time stands first in membership. Monroe is a fully uniformed Commandery, and for many years maintained one of the most successful drill corps of any commandery in the United States. This drill corps, under the direction of Past Grand Commander George F. Loder, attained a national reputation for its remarkable skill in drilling. Monroe has made many pilgrimages to nearly all of the most important Templar gatherings in the State of New York as well as elsewhere. She has also contributed many thousands of dollars to charity in the way of giving exhibition drills for the benefit of Orphan Asylums in other cities, and also in her own beautiful custom of visit- ing annually on New Year's day, Rochester Orphan Asy- lum, where large donations have beep made of presents as well as substantial cash subscriptions for the purpose 16 ■"^Sr^z^ — "^"^rs • t^^^^'^-^^rrf^ ..^. -^9j^ ■r^^.^", ^!5i2f2'^ ^.m^^^^^^ ^^i^:^'^' Members of Governing Board Geo.

Cyrene Commandery No. 39, K. T. Cyrene Commandery owes its origin to Monroe Com- mandery, No. 12, of Rochester. At a regular conclave of that body held at Masonic Temple December 21, 1866, it was unanimously resolved : " That this Commandery do recommend the petition praying for a dispensation to establish a new Commandery in this City, and do avouch for the petitioners as being Knights Templar in good standing, ability and character." *Deceased. fSuspended. This resolution culminated in the issuing on the 4th of February, 1867, by R. E. Sir Pearson Mundy, Grand Commander, a dispensation to form Pyrene Commandery to be stationed at Rochester, and the following were named as its first three officers : John M'Convill, Em. Com. ; William H. Cumings, Gen. ; William Carson, Capt Gen. ; with the following Sir Knights as Charter Mem- bers : Luther C. Spencer, Charles A. Gardiner, John F. Whitbeck, Abram Karnes, John M'Convill, Harvey P. Langworthy, William H. Cumings, Jessie W. Gifford, William Carson, William H. Gorsline, William S. Thomp- son, Egbert B. Jennings, William H. Briggs, John B. Wing, James E. Lattimer, George W. Donnelly, Levi S. Fulton, Edwin Taylor, Charles M. St. John, George M. Deming, Andrew J. Warner, John Barker, Chauncey B. Woodworth, George W. Stebbins, W. Dean Shuart, Geo, A. Reynolds, Robert Boyd, John M. Fiske, Cyrus Beards- ley, Orrin E. Castle, Charles Vaill, Bernard Hughes. Of these faithful workers in our glorious cause all have passed over the " great divide " " to the honors and rewards which await the valiant knight," except two, viz. : Robert Boyd and Cyrus Beardsley, who still are members in good standing. The first meetings were held in the Mayor's office, but the first regular Conclave, U. D., was held in their new hall, West Main Street, where Powers Hotel now stands, the present headquarters of the Grand Commandery, on April 11, 1867, when a set of by-laws was adopted, and several petitions received for member- ship. Weekly Conclaves were held until October 8, 1867, when most eminent Past Grand Master William E. Lath- rop, appointed by the R. E. Grand Commander as his proxy, constituted and installed the first officers of Cyrene Commandery, who were as follows : John M'Convill, Em. Com. ; William H. Cumings, Gen. ; William Carson, Capt. Gen. ; John F. Whitbeck, Prelate ; Andrew J. War- ner, S. W. ; Albert J. Warner, J. W. ; Abram Karnes, Treas. ; Charles M. St. John, Recorder ; Bernard Hughes, Standard Bearer ; Edwin Taylor, Sword Bearer ; Egbert ' B. Jennings, W. ; Luther C. Spencer, William H. Gors- line, William S. Thompson, Guards ; Maurice Smith, Sen. At this Conclave also the Charter was received, bear- ing date of October 2, 1867. From this time on the new Commandery increased in number and usefulness. It was then, as now, characterized by the quality of its work. On August 2 2d of that year, a beautiful Silk Banner was presented to the Commandery by the ladies of the members of the body. The presentation occurred at the mansion of Sir Frederick Cook, East avenue. The ban- ner was received by the Eminent Commander with appro- priate remarks, and many expressions of knightly apprec- iation. In 1878 the Commandery changed its place of meeting to the Masonic Temple, on invitation of the bodies meeting there, and on April i ith a reception was tendered them by the Temple bodies, pleasantly install- ing them in their new quarters. 1878 was the year of the yellow fever scourge in New York, and appeals for aid for the sufferers met with a hearty response, and a liberal 18 Members of Governing Board (Continued) Ralph T. Olcott Henry R. East Thomas J. Nicholl Joseph F. Engel Frank H. Dennis J. H. Beebe Henry G. Sauer Isaac A. Wile Joseph C. Wilson K^^s^^^Si^ subscription was forwarded by Cyrene for their relief. On April 22, 1879, Em. Com. Sir A. J. Hatch presented the Commandery with a handsome set of officers' jewels, which are still used by the Commandery. 1885 was made memorable by the Commandery participating in the corner-stone laying of the new United States Government Building ; also in the entertainment of the Grand Com- mandery which held its annual conclave in the fall of that year in Rochester. In 1889 it was deemed advis- able to change its headquarters to Consistory Hall on West Main street, where unusual accommodations were afforded. On New Year's Day of that year the Command- ery visited the Industrial School on Exchange street, cheering the hearts of the little people with delightful entertainment, a bountiful supply of presents, as well as a splendid contribution in money to help in carrying on the work of the institution. These visitations have been con- tinued each New Year's Day since. A disastrous fire occurred in 1892, destroying all the properties of the . Commandery, causing a temporary change to the Masonic Ten^le, kindly thrown open for its use for a few months until the " work of rebuilding " could be completed. 1894 through the efforts of Past Em. Commanders W. K. Bar- low and S. W. Levis saw the Commandery again in pos- session of a handsome set of silk colors. National ensign and Beauseant. In 1899 the Commandery, on invitation of Palestine Preceptory No. 18, Port Hope, Ontario, made a pilgrimage to that place and was received with marked demonstrations of fraternal friendship and knight- ' ly hospitality by their Canadian fraters. Thus, very briefly stated, is the history of Cyrene Commandery. With a small beginning it has passed through a varied and trying career. It is now in a pros- perous and vigorous condition with a bright future before it, having an active membership of something over two hundred, each one of whom is a firm believer in the grand characteristics of the order " Charity and Hospitality." The officers of Cyrene Commandery for the present year are as follows : John N. Doud, E. C. ; William C. Miller, Gen.; John B. MuUan, C. G. ; Charles C. J. Bailey, S. W. ; Frank W. Sibley, J. W. ; H.

The following brief . sketch, written by the present Potentate of Damascus Temple will be of interest to local Shriners : Damascus Temple, A. A. O. N. M. S., Oasis of Roch- ester, N. Y., is the oldest working Temple in the United States or Canada ! It is, and by the virtue of the follow- ing facts : The present Potentate, in the year 1873, wrote to Walter M. Fleming of New York City, asking if he had any ritual or scheme that would do to organize a Social body for Knights Templar for fun, recreation, etc. His reply was he had, and when we visited New York we called on him a few weeks after and with four or five others we were duly obligated Shriners, and with this nucleus formed Mecca Temple of New York City. After returning home a week or so later, we organized Damascus Temple, No. 2, with the following members: (The Temples were first to be numbered, but afterwards the numbers were omitted.) *W. H. Bosworth, *James Logan, Dan'l T. Hunt, J. L. Brewster, *D.W. Gotens, *Geo. Hamblett, G. F. Loder, S. R. Carter, W. H. Whiting, *Owns Williams, Eli Leav- enworth, H. M. Plant, *C. A. Brady, Abe H. Vander- berg, Wm. Davis and R. W. West. Charter dated seventh day of June, 1876. Walter M. Fleming, Imperial Potentate ; William J. Paterson, Imper- ial Recorder. Damascus Temple proceeded at once to work with such assistance in paragraphs as 111. Noble Paterson, the Illustrious Recorder, sent us, and did work with robes and other paraphernalia as was found necessary, and all forms of ceremonies were original with us, having no' ritual or coacher, and the same is being used to-day. Eighteen inonths later, while W. J. Florence was filling a professional engagement at one of the theaters, Damas- cus Temple invited W. M. Fleming and W. J. Paterson to come to Rochester and see Damascus Temple confer the order. They accepted, and were present when we con- ferred the Shrine degree in the afternoon in old Concert Hall, State St., on J. Clinton Hall, a stock actor at the Opera House. The records show tha^ Walter M. Fleming, W. J. Florence and W. J. Patterson and about fifty other nobles were present, October 12, 1875. Damascus Temple then had a membership of 138. At the banquet which follow- ed, two Shrine badges were presented (having the bar instead of the scimiter as now, made of two tiger claws, and the first ever made. ) One was presented to W. J. Florence, and the other to W. M. Fleming. Our New York Nobles said at the banquet, " There is something good about this Shrine work, and we will go home and start Mecca Temple booming. " These, Nobles, are the cold facts of how the Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine started in this country. Damascus does not claim it originated the Order but knows that if she had not " pushed hard " possibly no Shrine would ever have been known of, and from five Nobles in 1874 the order has increased to about 50,000. ■' Allah be praised ! " The Imperial Council was duly formed soon after this with Mecca, Damascus and Mt. Sinai Temple, Mont- pelier, Vermont. Damascus did not receive its charter until about two years afterwards. The present Potentate of Damascus Temple, now serv- ing his twenty-eighth year as Potentate, was Deputy Imperial Potentate of the Imperial Council for nine years, and by his assistance other Temples were organized and the Order made the grand success that it is to-day. The stated services of Damascus Temple are held at 104 Reynolds Arcade, second Wednesday in each month. The annual service for the election of officers will be held December 10, 1902. The following are the officers of Damascus Temple for the present year : George F. Loder, 111. Potentate ; F. R. Smith, 111. Chief Rabban ; Cortland Avery, 111.

As early as 1826 Hamilton Chapter took action looking to- ward owning such a home. The following resolution was adopted, viz : " Resolved — That Companions Ira West and Gideon Candee be a committee to confer with the committee appointed by Wells Lodge, also with the Trustees of School District No. 2, in the Town of Gates, and to report at the next regular convocation, upon the expedi- ency of erecting a Masonic Hall." May 23d,. 1827, Robert Martin, Philip Smith and Abelard Reynolds were appointed a building committee. Oct. 4th, 1827, Jacob Gould, Bill Colby and C. G. Cummings were appointed to confer with Messrs. Cuyler and Stebbins on procuring a suitable Masonic Hall. Nothing tangible appears to have been done. From that time until now the hope of building a Masonic Temple has abided with the brethren. From time to tirae action has been taken, committees appointed, plans made, money raised. At one time an act of the Legisla- ture was procured especially incorporating the " Masonic Temple Association of the City of Rochester, N. Y. " Chapter 433, Laws of 1894. ■That hope, long deferred, is now realized. Brother William A. MacCallum of Rochester Lodge, and Brother J. C. McNab of Valley Lodge, made an informal canvass of such brethren as they chanced to meet. They found much to encourage the belief that the accepted time had come. Monroe Commandery was in urgent need of enlarged accommodations. An extension of the lease of the so-called Temple, preliminary to making changes getting more room was proposed. Action must be taken at once or deferred for a series of years. On December 5th, 1899, Yonnondio Lodge appointed a committee to canvass its members for stock in the new Masonic Temple. All the other lodges did likewise. The following committees were appointed : Valley Lodge—]. C. McNab, J. C. Wilson, H. S. Jenner, H. B. Guilford, L. C. Piper, C. S. Owen, W. E. Webb, A. J. Phelps, C. B. Rebasz, Fred S. Rogers. Yonnondio Lodge — Fredk. R. Smith, Geo. A. Benton, S. B. Williams, R. A. Searing, Louis N. Stein, Wm. East- wood, J. B. Colman, W. J. McKelvey, Geo. W.

Olcott, Harvey B. Carlton, J. S. Briggs. A more systematic canvass of the lodges was now instituted, and prosecuted with so much success that we became convinced that, the Temple would be built. Accordingly the stockholders were called together in Old St. Paul's Church, known as Damascus Temple Annex, and by Damascus Temple tendered for the occasion. The organization was perfected and the corporation formed in June, 1900. In form we are a business corporation, organized under the Laws of the State of New York. The number of directors is thirteen, as many as the law allows. There is also an Advisory Board of one for each one hundred members of each lodge, together with the official head of each Masonic or quasi-Masonic body which is a prospective tenant of the Temple. While for some legal purposes the action of the Board of Directors as such is necessary, practically the Directors and Advisory Board sit as one and form the Governing Board of the Temple. The following Directors and Advisory Board were elected May 28, 1900: Directors—G&o. A. Benton, H. H. Edgerton, Geo. F. Roth, H. S. Jenner, Fred. R. Smith, S. B. Williams F.

Hungerford Smith, W. A. Sutherland. They organized by the election of George A. Benton, President ; H. H. Edgerton, Vice-President ; S. B. Williams, Treasurer; Louis N. Stein, Secretary. The collection of the subscriptions was now begun, and soliciting subscrip- tions continued. The services of William H. Learned were secured. By the generosity and courtesy of the Trustees of the Rochester Fire Department Association desk^ room was given us at No. 8io Powers Building. Mr. Learned is found there daily from 9 a. m. to i p. m. Committees on Site and Plans were appointed on Oct. 15th, 1900, as follows: Committee on Site — Chas. S. Baker, Geo. F. Roth, J. A. Robertson, Frank Taylor, Chas. Vogel, F. S. Rogers, J. F. Engel, Geo. W. Aldridge, S. P. Bancroft. Committee on Plans — H. H. Edgerton, Fred. R. Smith, H. W. Goetzmann, H. S. Jenner, E. E. Almy, F. H. Beach, F. S. Stebbins, J. Hungerford Smith, S. Handler. It was realized that there must be a difference of opinion upon the site, but it was determined that wherever the majority deemed the best site there all would concur. A very large number of sites were offered. After careful investigation on December 28th, 1900, by vote of fourteen to twenty-six, the lot, 100 x 165, at the corner of Clinton Avenue North and Mortimer Street, (known as the Watson Homestead,) was chosen. Upon motion to make the choice unanimous every man answered aye as his name was called. Thus this site became the unanimous choice of the fraternity. Let it so remain forever. Time will more and more indicate the wisdom of the choice. The purchase price was $40,000, paid in cash jSi8,ooo and in stock $2 2,000. We are under great and lasting obligations to James S. Watson, Granger A. Hollister, Elizabeth C. Watson and Isabelle W. Hollister for their generous treatment of the fraternity. The Plans Committee invited competition among the brethren. A number of plans were submitted. - They were most carefully examined in detail and those of J. Mills Piatt were chosen on March 18th, 1^00. Leon Stern was associated with him. Finance Committee was appointed on October isth, 1900, as follows : Finance Committee — S. B. Williams, H. W. Goetzmann, F. C. Mailing, H. H. Edgerton, J. A. Robertson, Frank Tayloi^ Chas. Vogel, E. E. Almy, Geo. F. Roth, J. C. Wilson, L. N. Stein, I. A. Wile, H. B. Carllon, H. D. Stone, Wm. Karle. It has continued with but little change. To be suc- cessful good financiering was and is the absolute requisite. At the outset the determination was formed, and has been rigidly adhered to, that all the money subscribed must be sacredly devoted to building purposes. We will on no account depart from this policy. Necessarily there are expenses for incorporation, books, stationery, printing, clerk hire, postage, revenue stamps, etc. The expense of incorporation was met by the lodges. From the sale of old buildings, interest on our funds, profits on the sale of buttons, souvenir trowels, etc., the other expenses have been and will be met. All the Gov- erning Board serve without recompense. The Finance Committee meet every Wednesday, and have devoted a very great amount of time to their duties with gratifying success. The first annual meeting of the stockholders was held on May 28th, 1901, at Damascus Temple Annex, donated as before, and resulted in the election of the following: Governing Board — Geo. A. Benton, H. H. Edgerton, Geo. F. Roth, H. S. Jenner, Fred. R. Smith, S. B. Wil- liams, F. C. Mailing, J. A. Robertson, Frank Taylor, H. W. Goetzmann, Chas. Vogel, E. E. Almy, Chas. S. Baker, F. S.

On June 3d, 1901, the following Building Committee was appointed: F. C. Mailing, H. W. Goetzmann, E. E. Almy, Chas. S. Baker, H. S. Jenner, Fred'k R. Smith, Jno. A. Robertson, Geo. F. Roth, M. H. VanBergh, C. N. Pratt, S. Handler, F. S. Stebbins, H. G. Sauer, J. Hungerford Smith, F. D. Morgan. The Committee at once set to work to secure responsible informal bids for the work. Ground was broken August 27th, 190 1. A bag of earth from the North East corner to be used for Masonic purposes was shovelled by George F. Loder. The Gov- erning Board after the invocation by F. S. Stebbins broke ground and loaded two wagons. A large number of the Brethren, with glad and hopeful hearts, witnessed the beginning of the actual work of building.

The completed structure, furnishing, cost of lot, and equipment, means an outlay upwards of f 2 50,000. The task undertaken is not small, but it has never been under- rated. The need is urgent, the recompense great. We build for generations to come a monument of the loyalty of the brethren of this age to an ancient and honorable order. There has been no deviation from the course marked out at the beginning. Everything has proceeded satisfac- torily. Much has been done, much remains to be done. Now, my brother, a personal word with you. Have you done your full share of this great and gratifying work ? It is as much your work as that of any brother. The building will be the headquarters of Masonry, not only in Rochester, but for the whole of the Thirty-Third Masonic District, and even beyond. Are you a subscriber ? If not it is high time that you become one. When the stockholders' names are emblazoned upon the walls of the Temple surely your name should be among them ! There are very few indeed among the fraternity who cannot pay $10 — in ten months. Many intend to increase their sub- scriptions. Duty and loyalty urge you to do this for the noblest order among men. It will pay you if you never get a money dividend. Yet the indications are that it will be better than a Savings Bank investment. There is an active demand for rentals in the building at paying rates. We do not anticipate any difficulty in renting all available space. October 5th, 1901, the stock subscriptions amounted to $116,450.00, and the number of stockholders is 1,925. The fraternity can and should build the entire building without bonds or mortgages upon it. Hall. The building of the Temple is assured. Its dimen- sions are 100 feet each way and 100 feet in height above the water table. Ground to the west, 65 x 109, is reserved for a hall. It depends upon the stock subscriptions whether or not this be done. It should certainly be done for two reasons, ist, It is needed. 2d, It will pay. Heat, light and attendance must be provided for the Temple. The additional cost for the hall will be very small. The lobby, entrance, ticket office, check room and bicycle room and other conveniences are already in the main building. The hall would be entirely an auditorium. It should be made by far the finest and most attractive in Rochester, to be the social headquarters for receptions, parties, balls, concerts, lectures, etc. It will be large enough for substantially all conventions that come to Rochester. The fraternity need such a hall for their general gatheriiigs, now becoming more frequent, and for the l^rge banquets. The Commanderies need it for drilling. The roof could be of asphalt and would be the very best of drill places during the summer months, as well as providing a fine roof garden. Monroe Com- mandery alone should, if necessary, build such a hall for its own needs. It will cost about ^35,000, and should pay fifteen per cent, on its cost. Therefore the stockholders should build it to make their stock pay better. Rochester needs such a hall. The iron and brick work on the east is already provided for in the Temple. Brethren shall we hot, after building the Temple, or better along with it, build the hall ? Subscriptions may be conditioned on building the hall. Stockholders Room. A room is provided on the second floor, with ample accommodations, where our stockholders from out of town may go with their wives and children, be at home, rest and refresh themselves and have their parcels sent. Museum. There is also a room on this floor (second) designed to exhibit interesting relics and curiosities, both Masonic and otherwise. "It is hoped that many such may be donated so that this may be the' nucleus of a museum. We will be pleased to receive such from now on. Memorials. We would perpetuate the memory of our honored dead by suitable memorials. The opportunity is afforded friends, fanlilies and lodges to put a window or other memorial in the building in remembrance of those who have worthily sustained the good name of our ancient craft, but action must be taken without too much delay. Lodge Rooms. The lodge rooms are lofty, large and well ventilated. The Sturtevant system of ventilation will enable us to maintain them at any required temperature and keep the air pure and fresh. We have a Middle Chamber approached across a porch up three, five and seven steps, and through an inner and outer door. Masonic Club. The entire third floor is adapted for the use of a club. The club organization is separate from the building corporation. The club will rent the floor, furnish it and run its own affairs. Applicants must be stockholders and Master Masons in good standing. We hope for a very large membership, and that very many non-resident Masons may become members. Especially for such we have planned several small rooms which may be used for business purposes, and in which business appointments may be made. It is hoped that business men from Syracuse to Buffalo, and from the lake to the Pennsylvania Ime, may find it pleasant and profitable to belong to this 30 Yonnondio Lodge, No. 163, F. & A.

There will be billiards and games, but no playing for money will be allowed under any circumstances. The initiation fee is $5.00 and must accompany the application. Dues will begin on the occupancy of the rooms, and are expected to be $6.00 per year, perhaps less to non-resi- dents. A blank application is printed herein. If you are a stockholder fill it out and send it in with ^5.00. If not fill out both it and the subscription blank. It is necessary to get members before occupancy to provide a fund for furnishing the rooms. The money from the initiation fee will be devoted to that purpose. Masonic Fair. It is proposed, during the Fall of 1902, to hold a grand Masonic fair for a week or more in the building to provide funds for furnishing the Temple. The work of preparation for this event is now in progress. There is much to do, for excepting the dedication, this will be the event of 1902. It must be elaborate, full of surprises, tempting all your money to the coffers of the Temple, for we must furnish richly befitting the order. The co-opera- tion of everybody is solicited to make the fair a crowning success. Buttons and Trowels. A stockholder's button to be worn only by stockholders, has been adopted. Subscribers are stockholders before the stock is actually issued. We hope they may be gen- erally worn, particularly on all Masonic occasions. A small souvenir trowel is for sale to all. It bears the date of the corner. stone laying. These are 25 cents each. They may be had at all the headquarters on November ist, and at any time at 810 Powers Building. Entrance. The entrance to the Temple from Clinton Avenue is to be embellished by Masonic emblems, donated by the several Masonic bodies, and are expected to be particu- larly noticeable and fine. The two Masonic pillars will stand one on either hand. There is to be the cross and crown of the Commanderies, the double eagle of the Consistory, the star of the Eastern Star Chapters, the crescent and scimiter of the Shrine, and other emblems. Every lodge that is a stockholder to the amount of $50, if from the country, and I500 from the city, will have its name and number cut upon the portals of the entrance. We expect that every lodge of this district will see to it that its name there appears. This Temple is the head- quarters of the district. The office of the District Deputy Grand Master will be there. Let each lodge, not already a stockholder, fill out the subscription blank herein con- tained and send it in without delay. Finally. We seek the aid of every brother. The beginning and the end of the success of the Masonic Temple is based upon two things. First, Taking stock. Second, Paying for stock. Unselfish, even self-sacrificing work along these lines will bring ample returns to all. Let us each and all labor unceasingly until we shall have built and furnished the most complete, beautiful and the best equipped Masonic Temple that can be found. Then we may well enter into the rest and enjoyment of its manifold excellencies. Fraternally yours, GEORGE A. BENTON, President Masonic Temple. Present Officers. President, Geo. A.

Clum 51 ffloQQ^^ f^^^m^ A Store of the Future PROSPECTIVE AND POSSIBLE Sometime in the future, a retail business will grow up on this corner, that shall eliminate advertising as now done, and the advertiser as now employed. Thai will come when a thoroughly appointed organization with consummate ability, shall manage every detail with perfection — a store so complete that it will be the concrete response to every need, and thus will be its own advertisement. By the imperial right of superior service, it will command audiences, and will not have to proclaim its own attractions by costly methods. With such ideas, we push this business on. The public is the employer of every retail business — if they want better service, the worthiest must be appreciated. And the store of the future will be evolved just as rapidly as the public, by approval, will create it. It is the perfection of co-operation. We have every reason to be assured that the New Store, plus the public, will in due time arrive at the ideal. McCURDY & NORWELL, CO. Brown Brothers Company Continental Rochester, N, Y.
