Hi,
I don't know why you are creating new instance of you master page.
you can call it call the same as
Master.[Your function]
you must specify the master page
<%@ MasterType virtualpath="~/Masters/Master1.master" %>
For more information on Master Page :

I did not saw any erroneous code but you post the both master and content page then I more clear to understand.
