^ I ^ HIS flourishing College , which has now almost reached I its full complement of members , and is by far the most active and prosperous College in the Society , met in the ancient banqueting hall of Skipton Castle , on the 31 st May . There was an unusually large attendance of the fratres . The V . W . Celebrant , Fratre R . J . Smith , was supported by

Fratres C . L . Mason , J . L . Atherton , W . N . Cheesman , acting as C . of N . ; F . W . Halliwell , J . Smith , Secretary ; and W . Swales , all Past Celebrants ; also Fratres W .

Organist ; the Rev . E . Richards , T . P . ; and J . E . Cawthern , as G . of T . The R . W . Chief Adept of the Province , Fratre T . B . Whytehead , jun ., Sub . Mag . IX ., was unable to be present on account of his severe accident during last winter , to the very great regret of the fratres . Sixteen aspirants were balloted

for and elected ; and eleven being present , were advanced to the Grade of Zelator , by the Celebrant , assisted by V . W . Fratre Jas . Smith . A paper on " Skipton Castle and its story , " tracing the history of the Castle and its inhabitants , notably the Cliffords , and dealing with some of the principal

events in their career , was read by the Celebrant , who received the thanks of the College . It was resolved to hold the next meeting at Richmond ( Yorks ) on Saturday , the 16 th August . Prior to the meeting , the fratres , accompanied by a large number of ladies , were conducted over the ancient fortress ,

and shown the various interesting features ; the old parish church was also visited . After dinner at the Devonshire Hotel , a large party of fratres and ladies drove to Grassington and Kettlewell , in Wharfedale , where Sunday was pleasantly spent ; and on

Monday morning proceeded , via Buckden and Cray , over the ridge and down Bishopsdale to Aysgarth and Leyburn . Various points of interest were visited , and the members of the party returned to their respective homes in the evening , after a most enjoyable excursion through one of the most beautiful and romantic parts of the county .

A very interesting feature of the excursion was the receipt by Fratre Fletcher , editor of the Yorkshire Herald , while at Grassington on Sunday evening , of the welcome news of " Peace , " which was immediately announced to the inhabitants of the village amid general congratulations and rejoicing .
