W ., Christian S . D ., Watkinson J . D ., Baker I . G ., F . Carr Secretary , 0 . Lorkin Acting Preceptor ; also Bros . Powell , Wilkinson , and Wallington .

Star Lodge of Instruction , No . 1275 . —This prosperous and important Lodge of Instruction , whioh is in session all the year round , held its usual weekly meeting at the Five Bells , New Crossroad , on Saturday evening , 25 th ult ., and it speaks wonders for the interest taken in the Lodge by its members that nearly forty mastered at the close of a very hot day to afford light or obtain

instruction , under tho Preceptorship of Bro . Wm . Andrews P . M . The Bye-laws provide for the ceremony of installation to be rehearsed on the fourth Saturday in August , a somewhat unfortunate time , we are inclined to think , since it is jnst at this period of the year so many brethren are dispersed over tbe surface of land and water ; and however zealous Masons they may be , they could hardly be

expected to forsake the " breezy downs " or tho " sad sea wave " ( i £ ambition , or the length of thoir pockets , had not takon them further a-field ) for the purpose of witnessing a ceremony which could be fixed for any other month . No public announcement was made of the occasion , nor was it generally known by whom the ceremony wonld be rehearsed . We repeat , therefore , that it speaks well for the

popularity of the Lodge and its honorary Officers . There was a numerous array of Past Masters , amongst whom the following were called upon to support our much-respected Bro . Catterson P . M . 549 , who occupied the chair . Bros . Shaw 834 . S . W ., Bartlett 147 J . W ., C . Hawksley 1702 S . D ., Waterman 147 J . D ., Bear 861 I . G . After the usual preliminaries , Lodge was opened in due form , Bro . Walter

Martin , the indefatigable Secretary being called upon to read tbe minutes of the previous Lodge meeting , which were duly confirmed . The ceremony of initiation was then rehearsed in an impressive manner , Bro . Page acting as candidate ; after which , the Lodge having been opened in the second degree , Bro . Catterson relinquished the chair in favour of Bro . Martin , who was about to rehearse the

duties of Installing Master for the first time . Bro . Andrews , acting as M . C , introduced Bro . Shaw as W . M . elect ; finally he occupied the chair , and proceeded to invest his Officers , the same brethren , with two exceptions , being again appointed . The Lodge having recently acquired an harmonium , of good tone , it is needless to say that proper nse was made of tbe same dnring the ceremony , particularly in the

course of the investiture . The addresses to the Master , Wardens and brethren were then delivered , after which Bro . Martin resumed his seat amidst the applause of the brethren . Wo congratulate Bro . Martin on his first appearance in a new character . He is but a youn ° " Mason , and has not yet passed the chair , but he is zealous , energetic ^ and painstaking , and the perfect and fluent manner in which he

performed so much of the ceremony as was admissible well entitled him to the vote of thanks which was afterward s accorded . The Lodge was called off for a brief interval , after which it was resumed in the third degree and closed down . Three new brethren were elected members , and after the usual routine business had been disposed of , Lodge was closed in ancient form and adjourned .

In connection with this Lodge is a Charitable Association , bearing its name , and comprising something like 150 members . On this occasion it was announced that there would be only one ballot ; the fortunate brother , however , was not present . We understand that , during the eight months of its existence , something like £ 200 has

been raised towards the snpport of the various Masonic Institutions , so that the Star in the Sonth of Loudon is a jewel of no mean lustre in the "light of charity . " We heartily recommend a visit ; for should a brother not know any one who is a member , if he can only " prove" himself , he will meet a cordial welcome , and probably come across some friend whom he did not know to be a Mason .
