Beaumont Lodge Apron

Lodge Beaumont was constituted in 1810 and worked in Yetholm in Berwickshire. This old apron was presented to The Hawick Lodge No.111 by Mr J. J. Vernon along with photographs of past masters in 1909. Unfortunately the lodge was erased in 1837. However, it has a a distinctive Royal Arch feel to the apron, both from the border styling and the symbol on the flap. Perhaps the lodge worked the Craft degrees and the Royal Arch degree during this period.

St. Mirrens Lodge No. 129—On Monday the 27th ult ., the members of this lodge celebrated the Festival of St. John. The brethren met about half-past six o'clock in the evening, in their Hall in Moss Street and after having masonically clothed themselves they marched, headed by the instrumental band of the Paisley Volunteer Corps, accompanied by flag and torch bearers through the streets of the northern part of the town and thence to the new town, where the procession halted at the residence of Bro. Ex-Bailie Hamilton, in Thread Street. The Ex-Bailie is the oldest Mason in the town and as may be supposed, he was right heartily greeted. Leaving there, the procession recrossed the river to Causeyside Street, and refreshed themselves at the residence of their R. W. M. Bro. Andrew Wallace. The R. W. M. then joined in the procession, which proceeded to the west end and returned by way of Highstreet to the Globe Hotel.

A couple of questions:

Interesting Snippet

I have been unable to answer these so any info would be appreciated.
