ROYAL ARCH MASONRY.

On the 23d of November, 1863, Alex- andra Royal Arch Chapter, No. 100, was .duly organized under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Grand Chapter of Scotland and held under said chapter for years; but being so far removed, it was thought that more ad- vantage would be derived by coming under a jurisdiction nearer home. After due con-

sideration, it was decided to come under the jurisdiction of the Grand Chapter ofNova Scotia. Accordingly, on the 2d day of Jan~ uary, 1878, the chapter was granted a dis- pensation by the said Grand Chapter under the name and title of Alexandra Royal Arch Chapter, No. II, R. N. S. On April I7, 1878, the by-laws of said chapter were adopted and on March 7, 1895, were revised, adopted and approved.

This chapter has continued working un- der the same jurisdiction up to the present time, and is still flourishing, adding yearly fresh material, making up for losses sus- tained by death and other causes. We have at present on our roll fifty-five members and have added others to our numbers during the present year. The following memo may be of interest, furnished by one of the chapter members and requested to be placed on the minutes October I, 1903:

“‘During the month of August, 1863, nine members of the Masonic fraternity de- cided to proceed to St. John, New Bruns- wick, to receive the degrees of the Holy Royal Arch for- the purpose of instituting ' a subordinate chapter of that order in Char- lottetown. Those who went were Brothers I. S. Carvell, Adam Murray, Neil Rankin, Morin Lowden, Charles Bell, William Monk, John Ross, Donald MacKinnon and George Adams, all of whom received the degrees of Royal Arch Masonry in Carlton Royal Arch Chapter on the ZISt of the above month, and were granted a chapter for the Most Excel- lent Grand Royal Arch Chapter of Scotland, entitled Alexandra Chapter, No. 100, dated November 24, 1863. located in Charlotte- town. Prince Edward Island. The only members of the party now known to be liv— ing are Companions Adam Murray and John
