Otago Royal Arch Chapter 844, E.C.

The election and installation of Z. and officers of the above chapter was held in the Masonic Hall, Dunedin, on the evening of the 12th inst. The chapter was opened by M.E. Comp. H. Eldridge P.Z.; E. Comp. C. Braid being H.; and E. Comp. Bamfield as T. There was a large attendance of visiting companions, both the Joyce and Kilwinning Otago Chapters being well represented. E. Comp. Braid stated that he thought it would be advisable under the circumstances to proceed with the election and installation of officers for the ensuing year. After some discussion M.E. Comp. S. James, P.Z., stated that he had seen an exalted Comp. from England who thought the installation could be proceeded with, and if by accident anything was wrong the G. Chapter would condone it. The ballot was then taken and resulted as follows:—M.E.Z. Comp. Bamfield; H. Comp. Henry Eldridge P.Z., T. Comp. O. J. Hodge; Scribe, E. Comp. F.P. Cahill; Treasurer, Comp. J. E. Peake, P.Z.; P.S. Comp. the Rev. W. Ronaldson. M.E. Comp. Eldridge then vacated the chair in favour of M.E.P.Z., Comp. J. A. D. Adams, who proceeded to install the above officers, being assisted during the ceremony by E. Comps. S. James, P.Z., and T. Fordyce, P.Z. The ceremonies were well carried out, and it was remarked by some of the visiting companions, that the interior of the Chapter was equal to anything they had seen in the colony.
