work on "the Isiao Tablet of Bembo ; " also a large sized Photograph of hia Drawing of the same .

At seven o ' clock the Fraters sat down to a sumptuous banquet at the Holborn Restaurant . A long list of toasts was honoured , and there was much discussion of topics of Rosioruoian interest .
Amongst the various uses to which the bicycle is applied , and their name appears to be legion , is the easy means of covering distances by members of the photographic profession . Many of us can recollect , not so long ago ,
when an order was given by the country Squn-e to take his mansion or a picnic party in groups it involved the employment of a cumbrous van and no end of paraphernalia for the artist to fulfil the task . Of course , photography has
made great advances since that time , and so as the " wheel world ; " thus , at a few hours' notice , the photographer can pack his impedimenta on a machine , and trundle his
way to the point aimed at , in about as many minutes as it formerly took hours . Prominent amongst these knights of the lens and camera is Bro . J . Bertolle , of 268
Caledonianroad , N ., of whose efforts we have several excellent and highly finished specimens of photography . That of the grand historical church of Chingford , with its ivy mantled tower and walls , and quaint old churchyard , is a unique
and splendid work of art . It is useful to know such a professional aide as Bro . Bertolle in cases where groups or special photographs are wanted , without the trouble and
expense of providing long beforehand , and we recommend all who may be entrusted in such matters to cultivate the acquaintance of our friend in the Caledonian-road .
In the Churoh of St . Mark's , Deptford , a beginning has been made , as a Jubilee offering , in the stained glass east windows , with a work from the studio of Mr . Taylor , of Berners Street . The subject is "Christ Disputing , " forming one of a series to be eventually carried out .

Obituary .
MRS . HENRY POVEY . THE sad intelligence of the death of Mrs . Povey , wife of Bro . Henry Povey , P . M . and Treasurer of the Neptune Lodge , No . 22 , a Founder and Dir . of Cers . of the Derby Allcroft Lodge , No . 2168 , will be received with profound
sorrow by a very wide circle of Masonic friends . By the active exertions he has made in promoting the interests of both the Lodges named , and more especially in the cause of benevolence , Bro . Povey has earned for himself no mean
distinction ; and it is well known to every one who has been brought into contact with him that his efforts were most earnestly seconded and stimulated by his wife , who has been taken from him at so early an age . Many
brethren will cherish pleasant recollections of the manner in which the late estimable lady exerted herself to make them happy and comfortable when Bro . Povey invited a party of Masonic friends to partake of his hospitality at
his residence at Hornsey , and of how much her affability and charming manners were appreciated by the guests on all such occasions . Mrs . Povey , however , had for upwards of two years been suffering from phthisis , to which insidious
disease she succumbed , on Saturday last , to the great grief of her relatives and friends . We sincerely sympathise with Bro . Povey in this fresh affliction , his wife having now followed all the children of the family—three
girlsto that "Bright Sphere Above . Onr condolences will , we are certain , be shared by a very wide circle of our readers , both within and outside the pale oi Masonry ,
amongst whom Bro . Povey has been for many years known as a most assiduous worker , and a genial and hospitable friend .
BRO . GROVE ELLIS . JUST as we go to press the tidings reach us of the death of this well known brother . Bro . Ellis had been in a sad state of health for the past five years , but his ailments only reached a critical stage some three or four months since . He was a member of the Joppa Lodge , No . 188 .
