THE Annual Festival of this Lodgo was celebrated on the 20 th February , at tho Masonio Hall , Goletta , Tunis , North Africa . Tho Lodgo was opened at 1 p . m . precisely by the W . M . Bro . Barker , assisted b y Bros . They S . W ., Curletto J . W ., Engerer Secretary , Morana D . of C ., Attard S . D ., D'Amico aa J . D ., Vans I . G ., and A . Pagano Tyler . Thero were also present Bros . Coppi , Dnrazzano ,

v illarealo , Castolli , Rombi , Rotino , Catalano , and Angelica , members ; Visitors—Vais Orator , Maltesopolo J . W ., and Cittanuova Secretary of the Italian Lodgo Eisorgimento at Tunis ; and Souiller S . W ., Pentecost J . W ., Barsotti Treasurer and Le Gallais S . D . of Ancient Carthago Lodge , No . 1717 ( E . G . ) , also at Tunis . On an alarm being given , the following distinguished brethren wero received with duo honours ,

viz .: —W . Bros . J . F . Reade No . 1717 P . D . D . G . M . Egypt , A . M . Broadloy D . D . G . M . Malta , Dr . Perini W . M . 1717 , Professor Ayra W . M . Italian Lodge Eisorgimento , Vais 33 ° , and Dr . Fnnaro Past Masters of tho samo Lodge , D . Costa W . M . of tho Italian Lodge Pi-ogresso Costituzionale afc Susa , and Dr . Muguaini 32 ° P . M . Lodge Carthage and Utica at Tunis . Tho W . M . asked tho D . D . G . M .

Brother Broadley to assume tho gavel . Tho D . D . G . M . expressed the pleasure experienced by the Lodgo No . 1835 at receiving tho visits of so many distinguished Masons on this occasion ; ho stated thafc tho onl y bnsiness before them was to read a circular from the D . G . Lodge of Malta , warning the English brethren at Tunis from holding Masonio intercourse with a self-created body calling itself the Grand

Orient of Tunis and its Dependencies . The circular having been read , it was duly inserted in the minute book . W . Bro . Reade , P . D . D . G . M . of Egypt , H . B . M . ' s Agent and Consul General afc Tunis , then addressed tha assembled brethren ; he said that in returning to his birth-place , after an absence of thirty years , nothing had pleased him more than to find Masonry flourishing in the country . He was

especially interested in the Lodge No . 1835 , as working on the very ruins of Carthage . Ho called tho particular attention of the English and Italian brethren to the circular the D . D . G . M . had read , and told them their dnty in the matter could be described in two words—Fidelit y and Obedience—fidelity to tho Grand Lodge of England , to which they owed allegiance ; and obedience to tho orders of their

immediate superior , tho D . G . M ., who had HO ably dealt with the matter in accordance with tbe decision of the Colonial Board of Graud Lodge . He added thafc nothing could bo moro illegal than the action of the half dozen individuals who had constituted themselves into a pretended Grand Orient against tbo will of tho great majority of regular Masons in the country , and thafc he felt suro that the united

and harmonious action of the Italian and English Masons in the S £ nntr y would speedily bring the movement into deserved contempt . W . Bro . Reade assumed his seat amidst many demonstrations of approval . W . Bros . Perini , Ayra , Costa , and Mugnaini addressed the Lodge in turn , and expressed their cordial approval of the D . G . Master ' s circular , and W . Bro . Reade ' s remarks . Two candidates lor initiation wero proposed and seconded . The charitable collection

was then mado , and tho brethren adjourned to aa elaborate banquet , w ° , r ided by Bro- All " eHca - Tho D-D-G . M ., afc tne request of tbe >» -M ., presided , and the whole of the brethren above mentioned were present . On tho removal of tho cloth , tho following toasts wero duly honoured : —The Queen and the Craft , tho M . W . Graud Waster , the M . W . Grand Master of Italy , the Grand Officers , ana the D . G . Grand Master of Malta . In proposing the health

of tho Right Worshipful Bro . Kingston tho D . D . Grand Muster alluded to tho ablo way that illustrious brother had represented hia district iu England . lie was ablo to tell tho members oi 18 : 55 that their D . G . M . took a most lively interest in tho progress of English Masonry in this important part of his district , and especially iu tho prosperity of the Lodgo which bore his name . Bro . Kingston would

certainly visit the Goletta in June , and probably hold a Grand Lodge under their banner . Bro . Kingston ' s health was then enthusiastically drank , and it was decided to convey to him by telegraph tho hearty good wishes of the Lodgo . Tho next toast was that of tho P . D . D . G . M . of Egypt , to which Bro . T . F . Reado responded . In returning thanks for his health being drunk , Bro . Barker W . M . 1835

proposed tho toast of thoir indefatigable chief , Bro . Broadley . Tho W . M . of the Eisorgimento Lodgo added , on behalf of hia Lodgo , that tho D . D . G . M . mnst bo considered as tho pioneer and main supporter of tho common interests of regular Masonry in the country . Tho toast was very cordially drunk , and Bro . Broadley returned thanks afc some length . Various other toasts wero disposed of , and tho brethreu separated at 4 . 30 , highly pleased with their winter festival . English

Masonry is gaining ground day by day iu North Africa , but tho existence of a spurious centro must always bo regretted . Ifc need hardly be said thafc the body in question has never oven sought tho recognition of our U . G . Lodge , nor , as far as is known , has any communication with a single Masonic governing body of importance . It originated with four or five individuals , and the members of Lodges Nos . 1717 and 1835 trust that the Masonio authorities of distant ooun .

tries will obtain proper information before committing themselves by even the smallest recognition of the G . O , of the Reformed Egyptian Rite , whatever this high sounding title may be intended to represent .
