Reports Of Meetings.

Tuesday , at the Kemble ' s Head , Long Acre . He was punctual in opening the Lodge at 8 o ' clock , and had the assistance of Bros . R . Fitch sen . S . W ., L . Lake J . W ., J . D . Graham P . M .

The Lodge was opened in the second a , nd third degrees , and closed down to the first . As we expected would be the case the working was perfectly rendered . Bro . Fitch , another excellent wovkar , was elected W . M . for Tuesday next . **********

Stuart Lodge , No . 1632 . Exi'KRlKN'CE has taught us that the worthy Preceptor of this Lodge ( Bro . W . J . Carroll W . M . of the Upton Lodge ) is able to give most admirable renderings of the different ceremonies , and accordingly we looked forward with considerable pleasure to a visit to this Lodge of Instruction , anticipating we should there find evidences of his knowledge and example . We were not

disappointed in this respect when we attended on Friday of last week , at the usual quarters of the Lodge at the Deacons Restaurant , 3 Walbrook , E . G ., although we must confess to a certain amount of regret when we found the Preceptor was unavoidably absent ; the duties of his Office devolved for the time being upon Bro . H . Hyde P . M . 1237—a Brother highly esteemed in the Upton Lodge , and well known in the Craft as an efficient worker and a capable instructor—and he did all that was needed to uphold the reputation of the " Upton boys . "

The accommodation placed at the disposal of the Lodge is most satisfactory , the quarters being both comfortable and commodious , while there is an additional benefit in the fact that the manager Bro . W . J . Yardley is a great favourite among members of the Craft , and does everything possible to ensure comfort and enjoyment for his patrons . The season of the yeiar and the near approach of Bank Holiday both had an effect on the attendance- , which was not so numerous as usual . Those present included Brothers R , T , A .
