Lodge Histories.

trations that benevolence is oar fonndation-stone and charity our cope-stone . Tho centenary of this Lodge ' s institution recalls to onr minds many names associated with the history of Doncaster ; their virtues , their geniuses , their deeds of charity , all claim the remembrance of our recognition . It was Will Radclyffe , of the 30 th degree , who helped Edward Miller , Mayor of Doncaster , and Organist of our

parish Church , to write his history of this town . It was in October 1782 , two then promising members connected with this Lodge , Dr . Chorley , my grandfather , and Mr . Branson who started your charity , the Doncaster Dispensary . To Tetlow , of Knottingley , you owe the translation of yonr charters from Richard I . to James II ., and to William Sheardown , whose history is a remarkable one of industry and

energy and literary ability , you are indebted for the publication of Miller's history . The Prov . Grand Master has , however , awakened a few other memories . From this place or its vicinity sprang Richard Plantagenet , whose intrigues gave rise to those bitter contests between the Houses of York aud Lancaster . It wns Role , a hermit from Hampolewho attempted first to translate tbe Bible into English . Thomas

, Scott became an Archbishop of York . You also claim Franois Frobisher , yonr Mayor in 1535 , as the father of Queeu Elizabeth ' s famous Admiral . One of your vicars , assisted by this Lodge , established the first Sunday School in this town . There was enaoted in Doncaster the tragedy of Rainsford ' s death and murder in 1647 , still shrouded in mystery . Sir Philip Monckton was a prisoner at Belvoir Castle in

1648 . Viscount Galway , Sir Ralph Knight , and R . Molesworth were townsmen of Doncaster , and remarkable for their devotion to the two Charleses . My grandfather was cornet and my father a captain in the Wath troop of Yeomanry Cavalry , whilst in yonr old churchyard lie the bones of several of my ancestors . Here I was born and passed my early youth . Before the passing of the Municipal Act , I was

made a Freeman of Doncaster , and to-day it is my good fortune , as the Deputy Prov . Grand Master of West Yorkshire , to thank the St . George's Lodge for the reception they and the Craft have given to yonr Grand Lodge , and for the compliment paid to the office I have the honour to occupy . I shall ever remember this visit to Doncaster .

Among the other toasts were those of the Mayor and Corporation of Doncaster , acknowledged by Bro . Shirley , the Town Clerk , " St . George ' s Lodge , No . 242 , on attaining its centenary , " responded to by Bro . James Rigby , and the W . Master , to which Bro . Delanoy replied in snitable terms .

The Late Frank Buckland.

THE LATE FRANK BUCKLAND .

THE funeral of Mr . Frank Buckland , one of Her Majesty ' s Inspectors of Fisheries , took place on Friday last , 24 th ult ., at Brompton Cemetery , when there was a numerous gathering of friends to pay their last tribute of respect to his memory . Mr . Buckland died at his residence , 37 Albany-street , Regent ' s Park , on Sunday , the 19 th nit ., having only a few days previous completed his fiftyfourth year . He was the eldest son of the late Very Rev . Dr .

Buckland , Dean of Westminster , and one of the most distinguished geologists of his own or any day , was educated at Winchester College , and Christchnrch , Oxon ., and took his degree of B . A . in 1848 . He then entered on the study of medicine , and having served the office of House Surgeon at St . George ' s Hospital , was gazetted as Assistant Surgeon in the 2 nd Life Guards . He resigned his commission in

1863 , and thenceforward to the close of his career devoted himself heart and soul to Natural History . To him , the world is largely in . debted for the increased knowledge and culture of Fish . His museum at South Kensington is alone a sufficient testimony to this , even if no account were taken of his numerous contributions on the snbject to tho periodical literature of the day . He did not , however , confine

his labours to fish only ; his interest was pretty impartially distributed among all branches of the animal world , and whether he was writing of a baby hippopotamus , the cobra , the elephant , or generally , he always wrote pleasantly and in a manner to enlist the sympathies of the pnblio . Still more to his praise is it to say that the opinions he offered were thoroughly practical , and to his energy

and ability we are indebted for more than one careful legislative enactment on the subject of the culture and preservation of fish . But they who knew him best are the best qualified to speak of his merits , and we cannot do better than quote the following excerpt from the colums of Land and Water , with which excellent journal Mr Buckland , as projector , proprietor , and contributor , had been connected during

the whole period of its existence : — " With his enthusiastic genial , and ever-ready pen , his practical bent of mind and his keen observing powers , ever on the look-out to seize new points for the elucidation of natural history puzzles and iohthyological problems , it was Ms delig ht to communicate all he observed or learned to our pages . Here he met the publio as a friend . "

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS .

J . W . D . —Such a brother is not a full member and not entitled , therefore , to the rights and privileges of full membership . Bnt even if he were , it wonld be ill-advised on the part of the W . M . to appoint him to , and ill-becoming in him , to accept an office the dnties of which it was known beforehand he would be prevented from discharo-iner resrnlarlv .

R . L . S—The Festival of the R . M . B . I . is fixed for Wednesday , 23 rd of Febrnary , and will be held , as usual , at Freemasons' Tavern . Sir Henry Edwards , Bart ., Prov . G . Master of West Yorkshire , has consented to take the chair . For further information we refer you to Bro . James Terry , Secretary to the Institution , at the Offices , 4 Freemasons' Hall .

The Mohawk Minstrels.

THE MOHAWK MINSTRELS .

THE Mohawks made their re-appearance at their quarters at the Agricultural Hall , after their three weeks' visit to the Garriok Theatre , on Christmas Eve . The programme was a special one , and gave the greatest satisfaction to all who had the good fortune to be present . Mr . Ted Snow created quite a furore in his new song , " I can't get married at all . " Mr . G . Clare sang with great taste a pretty new ballad , " A Sunbeam fell across my Way . " Mr . Kavanagh

was in good voice , and sang " Tbe Tournament splendidly . Mr . C . Garland's rendering of "Children ' s Happy Voices , " to use an expressive phrase , brought down the house . In the second part a quintette , entitled "Lady Mine , at early Day , " by Mr . Warwick Williams , the Musical Director of the troupe , was another great success , thanks to the taste exhibited by Messrs . Garland , Temple , Layton , Oliver , and Clare in their interpretation of Mr . Williams ' s

composition . A new Comicality , " The Bumptious Bumpkins , " and a new Farcical Absurdity , " The Mnsic Monomaniac , " with a new Banjo Song , by Little Thomas , were very favourably received . This special programme was given twice , both on Monday and Tuesday , crowded houses , and is being repeated every evening with the greatest success . Mr . Hunter was the able Interlocutor he always is , and Mr . Mowbray , as Manager , spared no pains to meet the comfort of the audience .

Berner's Hall.

BERNER'S HALL .

WE have great pleasure in noting that the Berner ' s Hall , Agricultural Hall , has been opened for the season by Bro . R . G . Thomas , who has provided an admirable Variet y Entertainment , which includes magic and juggling , startling illusions , an exhibition of Living Statuary , together with a Grand Christmas Shadow Pantomime . In Part I . appeared Messrs . Ottaway and Woodinthe

, Champion Bone Soloists and Comedians . Both did extremely well , Mr . Ottaway being a wonderful good " bones , " such as we have seldom seen . The Champion Skaters likewise acquitted themselves in a manner which was highly appreciated by the whole andience . Part II . included the Shadow Pantomime , with Johnny De Vere as Clown ,

M . Ricarde as Harlequin , Sidney Neal as Columbine , and Tom Robbins Pantaloon . This , too , was deservedly applauded . The orchestra gave more than one evidence of its quality ; indeed , the whole cntertainmont is such as might have been expected from so experienced an entrepreneur as Bro . Thomas , to whom we heartily wish all success .
