Star Lodge of Instruction , No . 1275 . — An ordinary meeting of the members of this Lodge of Instruction took place on Saturday evening , at the Marquis of Granby , New Cross , when the attendance fell rather short of the usual number , in consequence , no doubt , of the many brethren who were drawn away by the attractions presented on Coronation Day to the holiday pnblic , and also by

the holding of an important meeting in connection with a neighbouring Lodge at Chiselhurst . However , some excellent work was done , and brethren who are in the habit of attending this very popular Lodge of Instruction will readily understand us when we say the evening afforded a real intellectual treat .

were performed testified to the admirable instruction imparted in this Lodge , and elicited the deserved approbation of the brethren present .

him in better elocutionary form , and the style in which he delivered himself of a somewhat laborious task drew from the brethren the heartiest expressions of admiration and approval .
