North London Masonic Benevolent Ball.

NORTH LONDON MASONIC BENEVOLENT BALL .

THOSE Craftsmen who have been so zealously working daring the last few weeks to make this gathering a success caunot possibly have been otherwise than satisfied with the re 3 nlt achieved on ( Tuesday last . The Myddelton Hall , though by no means a pre-I tentious building , had been wisely secured for the occasion , as it had I been decided by the promoters the event should be looked upon i purely as a local one . The arrangements made by the Ball

Com-| mittee—viz . Bro . 0 . Hammond ( Treasurer ) 1820 , 147 , Bro . E . Woodi man ( Secretary ) 1950 , Bros . S . Price 1288 , H . Sprake 813 , J . Baker J 1471 , C . Dearing 1602 , G . F . SDOok 1693 , H . Huggins 1288 , H . Hardj ing 1471—were admiarbly carried out . The Veteran M . C ., ' Bro . T . Meekham , had given the Committee the full benefit of his experience , but , in conseanence of an acoident , whioh we trust will

not turn out to be of a serious character , was at the last moment compelled to absent himself . His place , however , was ably filled by Bro . R . P . Forge W . M . 619 , P . M . 1950 . The musical arrangements were directed by Bro . J . A . Collings Org , 1693 . This brother , though but a young Mason , has made his mark , and is favourably spoken of as evidencing great musical ability , whioh has already been

recognised at onr Masonic gatherings . Bro . Collings had carefully selected his musical programme , which we give in detail : — 1 , Quadrille , Patience ; 2 , Valse , Mia Cara ; 3 , Lancers , Rip "Van Winkle ; 4 , Scottische , Royal ; 5 , Quadrille , Fun of the Fair ; 6 , Polka , Tout a La Joie ; 7 , Caledonians , Cameronians ; 8 , Valse , My Queen ; 9 , Quadrille , Vanity Fair ; 10 , Scottische , Veterau M . C . —

specially composed ; 11 , Lancers , Fun and Frolic ; 12 , Valae and Galop , Dream Faces and Rink ; 13 , Valse , Grand Lodge ; 14 , Lancers , Carmen ; 15 , Highland , Prince Charlie ; 16 , Quadrille , United Masonic ; 17 , Polka , British Patrol—Dedicated to the City Qnadrille Assemblies ; 18 , Caledonians , Borderers ; 19 , Valse , Ehren on the Rhine ; 20 , Qnadrille , Merry Dnchess ; 21 , Scottische , Happy Moments ; 22 , Lancers , Iolanthe ; 23 , Redovva , 24 , Ceres ; Galop , Prestissimo . As will

be seen , this selection , which was carefully played by the band—the cornet playing of Mr . Kottauu being especially admired—had a decided Masonic turn , and the effect of this was added to by the regalia , clothing , Ac ., of the brethren who attended . Bro . Colling ' a arrangement of the music for the Qnadrille—the " United Masonic , " shewed excellent judgment , and was most enthusiastically applauded . Taken altogether , this was one of the most enjoyable assemblies we have taken part in .
