Masonic Service At Holy Trinity, Woolwich.
MASONIC SERVICE AT HOLY TRINITY , WOOLWICH .
ONE of the most remarkable services that have been held for some years in Woolwich was that which took place on Sunday , the 20 th nit ., in Holy Trinity Church specially for Freemasons of the town and district . Previous to the service , members of the Masonio Craft , to the number of some 200 , assembled in the schools adjoining the church , and after putting on their regalia entered the church by way of the vestry , and occupied seats specially set apart for them in
the centre of the building . The seats at the sides as well as the galleries were filled with members of the congregation and others who desired to take part in a service of special interest . The clergy present were the Dean of Rochester ( the preacher ) , the Rev . J . W . Horsley , the Rev . S . P . Statham , and the curate of St . Panls , Charlton . The Dean of Rochester wore over his surplice the red
collar of tha Rosy Cross of the 18 th degree , the Vicar , who is Chaplain to the Pattison Lodge , wearing his light blue collar of the Craft . The service opened with the well known hymn , " Lo ! Ho comes with clouds descending , " in whioh the body of men ' s voices produced a grand effect . The prayers were intoned by the Vicar , the special Psalms were 15 and 122 , and tbe first lesson , 1 Kings vii . 13 to 22 , was read by the W . M . of the Nelson Lodgo Bro . McCulloch ,
and the second lesson , 2 Thessalonians iii . 6 to 18 , by the W . M . of the Pattison Lodgo Bro . Busbridge . The Masonic anthem , "Behold , how good and joyful a thing , " was finely sung by the choir , the solo being taken by Bro . T . Jefferson Nell the Choir Master . The hymn before tho sermon was " Gracious Spirit , Holy Ghost . " The Dean of Rochester ( Dr . S . R . Hole ) , who is a Mason of over 50 years' standing , preached from the words , from tho Book of Chronicles , " And he set Masons to hew stones to build the house of God . " The sermon was
worthy of the high reputation of the Dean as a preacher , and was an eloquent setting forth of the work of a true Mason and of the dignity of labour . During the collection of the offertory , the hymn , " 0 , Lord of heaven and earth and sea , " was sung . Over £ 18 was realised , whioh was divided between the Royal Masonic Institutions and the fund for enlarging and rebuilding Holy Trinity Schools . Afterwards
the choir gave a fine rendering of the tuneful carol , " It came upon the midnight clear , " the soprano part being rendered by Miss Bowden . The Masonic Collect , " Almighty and Eternal God Architect and Ruler of the Universe , " was said by the Vicar , to which the choir chanted the response , " So mote it be , " and this most successful service closed with the Benediction . Tho principal Masonic Lodges represented were the Pattison , Nelson , Florence
Nightingale , Waterloo , United Military , Ordnance , St . George ' s , Greenwich , St . Peter and St . Paul , Erith , besides which there were a few brethren representing other Lodges . Colonel Hughes , M . P ., was present wearing regalia , and amongst the members of the Craft who rendered assistance in ordering the processioa or collecting the offertory wero Messrs . G . Mitchell , C . H . Lawson , H . J . Butter , I . Turton , S . Green , J . Wallis , and F . Nicholls . Madamo Kate lester Jones was at the organ .
Tho annual ball of . the Pelham Pillar Lodge , No . 792 , takes placo afc Grimsby on Tuesday . Tho exertions put forth b y fcho Officers of tlio Lodge to render tho occasion ns attractive and successful as possible , including the
engagement of tho famous Bine Hungarian band , have given a great impetus to the demand for tickets , of which J-70 have been alread y sold . The number will be strictly limited to 200 .

Princess ' s . —A most amusing afternoon attraction is now provided by the very enterprising young manager of this house , Mr . Herberte-Basing , in the shape of an English adaptation of the French pantomime , " Lo Voyage en Suisse , " whioh our readers may remember was produced some years ago at the Gaiety . Bob Rolliugstone and Dudley
Green havo both been cut out in their matrimonial ventures by a quack , Doctor Gull , and in revenge follow him on his honeymoon to Switzerland , giving him no peace until they finally expose him and prove that be has a wife still living . In the execution of their plot they are assisted by two footmen , James and John , and Gadabout , a
tourist , characters that are capitally played by Messrs . Charles , Rene , and Fred Renad . Mr . Herberte-Basing gives an admirable portrayal of the reckless Rollingstone ; Mr . Henry Dana is a pleasant Dudley Green , and Mr . Wilfred E . Shine more than equal to the part of Dr . Gull . Miss Phyllis Bronghton has little to do as Virginia , but
dances divinely ; while Miss Courtenay , Mr . L . J . Munro and Miss Alice Stuart creditably sustain some minor characters . Special mention must be made of Mr . Henry Bedford , whose Swiss landlord was a perfect study . Tho fun runs fast and furious throughout , and
it is a happy thought of tbe manager to grant a quarter of an-hour's respite betwen the second and third acts , and serve tea and cake to restore exhausted nature , suffering from the effect of too muoh cachinnation .
The Eoyal Aquarium . —A most liberal programme ia now presented by the management , so that from early morning till late at night a constant ronnd of varied amusement may ho enjoyed , over a hundred performers appearing on the central stage throughout the day . In addition to Minting , the cyclist wonder , and Nitram
Neeg , with his startling leap from the roof , to whom we have previously referred , there are selections by the Ladies' Orchestra , the Bessmire Tronpe of Living Statuary , Miss Sells , denominated tbe Boneless Lady , a marvellous contortionist ; Fritz Vonng , clown ; the Mnsical Lindsays , and the Wonderful Levenes . There are also
several "side shows , including Signor Succi , who is now undergoing a fast for fifty-two days ; while in the theatre Sampson , the Strong Man , and Professor Germaine , mesmerist , appeal to those who may be palled with the other entertainments . In the St . Stephen ' s Hall adjoining , there ia the new Crystal Ice Rink , on
whioh the ordinary ice skates may be used ; it has been largely patrodized by patineurs lately , who endeavour to emulate the clever feats accomplished by Stiegert , the German Champion Skater . Our climate can never be depended upon , but for a wet day there is no place in London that affords more amusement than the Aquarium .
It is stated that , last week , Colonel Shadwell Gierke wrote to the management of " Venice in London" to engage a box for himself and family for the 30 th ult ., so that while the performance was taking place on Wednesday afternoon our lamented Grand Secretary was being buried .
The Countess of Clancarty , formerly known in theatrical circles as Miss Belle Bilton , was , last Sunday morning , safely delivered of twin boys , at Upper Hare Park . Mr . J . L . Toole is now making satisfactory progress towards recovery .
In order to meet the great demand for seats to witness A . W . Pinero ' s enormously successful play , "The Times , " at Terry ' s Theatre , the management have decided to give , in addition to the nsnal Saturday matinees , extra matinees on Monday , 4 th January , and Wednesday , 6 th Jannary .

MESSRS . CASSELL AND COMPANY'S NEW PUBLICATIONS .
IT is with pleasnre we have perused the last two numbers of Messrs . Oassell's " Family Magazine , " for we have found therein somo useful , instructive , and interesting reading . Tho opening chapters of the serial stories are most interesting , —and they bid fair to be very attractive tales . The short stories are also good , while the hints on dress are up to date . We heartily recommend the now
volume of this magazine to our readers . As we anticipated , the success of the companion work to tho " World of Adventure , " tho " World of Romance , " haa proved very great . This cannot bo wondered at , for Messrs . Cassell havo spared no pains to make it a most attractive work , and the fourth number ,
just to hand , is well up to the mark . Each romance is written in a masterly style , and proves a happy medium to wile the timo away . Tho work is profusely illustrated , and should be secured by all lovers of this kind of literature . Another of this well known firm ' s publications , " Little Folks , " is
also beforo us . The Jannary number commences a new volume , and if it is a sample of what may bo expected during tho year—and wo beliove it is—tho young people havo a good timo in storo for them . Tho two serial stories , " Tho Noxt-door Neighbour , " by Mrs . Molosworth , and "Through Snow and Sunshine , " by Henry Frith , havo
both started well , and will prove a rare treat to thoso who read them . The current number also contains several abort stories , specially adapted to the young , while full particulars of now competitions for 1892 , with a list of the prizsa offered to children of all ages are also
