Vve regret to he . ir that Bvo . Charles Godtschalk , who in his day has been one of the most zealous ancl consistent workers on behalf of the Masonic Institutions , still remains in a serious condition as regards his health .

Consequent on a further attack of paralysis , which occurred some four months since , our worth y brother is now bedridden , and the greater part of his time is spent in an almost unconscious state . Bro . Charles Godtschalk was

always an attentive correspondent , nnd many of thoso who had business connections with him , in associntion with the several Committees of the Province of Devon , will accept this as an explanation for any delay that may have

anseu in hbir communications not being replied to with that , promptness that hitherto has characterised onr brother . Acting on the advice of his physician , Bro . Godtschalk has removed from London , and wc . trust the change will produce the beneficial result so much desired .

ANOTHER Loclgo was added to the roll of Surrey on Tuesday , when the Abbey L- 'dcre , "No . 2120 , wns conseerat d afc tha Masonic Hall , Chertsey . In consequence of a severe attack of bronchitis , the Provincial Grand Master , General John Siulholme Brownrigg , O . B ., was unable to bo present to perform the ceremony

of consecration as he had intended , and iu his absence the arrangements for the con ? ecrafcion of the Lodge were entrusted to Bro . Chas . Greenwood P . G . Sword Bearer , who ifc is now definitely settled is to be the Deputy Provincial Grand Blaster , in lieu of the Key . 0 . W . Arnold P . G . Chaplain , whose absence from this country

necessitated his resigning that office . Among those present to do honour to tho occasion were Bros . James Torry P If . 228 P . P . S . G . VV * . Norths and Hunts , Stampall Lambert W . M . 155 f > , C . Greenwood jnn . P . P . G . Secretary , John G . Horsey P . P . G . D . C , P . Mnrray 36 , A . T . Onslow P . M . 1395 , H . E . Frances P . P . G . S . D ., T . Vincent P . P . G . Sword

Bearer , W . W . Morgan P . M . 211 , C . T . Tyler P . P . G . S . D ., Thomas Wnkley "jun . 1395 Prov . G . J . D ., J . D . Tester P . P . G . S . W . The brethren formed in process i on and entered the L : dge , when Brother Greenwood appointed Brother John G . Horsey to the Senior" Warden ' s chair , and Brother Lambert to that of Junior

Warden . Bro . H . E . Frances was asked to tako the post of D . of C , and Bro . Lester that of Inner Gmrd . The Lodgo was opened in t e three degrees , and after tho hymn " Hail , Eternal , " Bro . Greenwood explained the natnre of tho duties the brethren were assembled fco perform . He then requested Brother James Terry to formally

consecrate the Lodge . Bro . Charles Greenwood jun . officiated a ? Provincial Grand Secretary , and read the petition ancl warrant of the Lodge . The brethren having signified their approval of tho Officers named in the warning Bro . Terry gave an eloquent nnd practical oration on tha principles of the Masonic Institution and fche

responsibilities of its members , after which the ceremony was proceeded with according to fche customary forms . Bro . Henry Currie Leigh Bennett was installed as Worship ful Maitor . and Colonel Lorenzo George Dundas invested as Senior Warden , Brother William Henry Gardiner , the J . W . designate , was unable fco bo present , his

investiture had therefore to be de f erred nnlil the first meeting of the Lodge . Brother James R . Boor Past Mast or and Secretary 370 was elected Treasnrer , and duly invested . Bro . tbe Rev . Walter W . Martin P . M-. Chaplain 370 was appointed Secretary , George Fox Spencer S . D ., and G . J . Mason Ty ler . The other offices will bo

filled latter on . The addresses were then delivered by Bro . Terry , and the ceremonial work of the day , which thronghont was performed in that perfect manner we always look for from Bro . Terry , was brought to a conclusion . The customary votes of thanks wero passed to those who had taken part in

the day ' s proceedings , and Bro . Terry , in acknowledging th © oomplimeofc , expressed the pleasure he felt in taking pnrfc in the formation of a new Lodge for the Province of Surrey . The banqnet was served in the dining-room of the Masonic Hall . The after proceedings were of tha nsnnl nai-pe- ) b ) e character . As a matter of

coarse the approaching Festival ofthe Girls' School was referred to , and Bro . Charles Greenwood expressed hia fervent desiro that , the Proviricinl Grand Master should be strongly supported on that occasion by the members of his Province . Brother Greenwood said that ifc was at Chertsev , thirty years since , J

hathe firsfc received his official appointment , as Provide al Grand Secretary , and it was "ratifying to him that , it wns ni-o at Chertsey thafc he received his first , recognition ns D .-pnty Provincial Grand Mas ' cr . He felt a difficulty in following so zealous and expert a Mason as the Bev . C . W . Arnold , bub hoped ho shonld ho ab'o to

discharge the duties of his new office for 'ho benefit of tho Provide , and ncreenbly to fcho brethren oomppsin « r it . B ** o . Terry iu responding for the Charities referred to the Festival of his Institution in 1883 , when Gen . Brownrigg presided with most satisfactory results . On thafc occasion two hundred and seventy-two Stewards supported

the Provincial Grand Master of Surrey , nnd the total contribute amounted to upwards of thirteen thousand ponnds , of which amount £ 905 14 s wns taken rip by twenty-two Surrey Stewards . Doubtless Surrey would be as loynl to their chief when ho presided next , May on behalf of the Girls as they were when he filled the same office for

the Old People , and added to this he was now working for a popnl-ir Institntion , so that it miyhfc reasonably be hoped the coming Fi > sli-. * al wonld be a snccess . Other complimentary toast * were civen and responded to in order , and the proceedings wire I rou ^ ht to s conclusion in due form by the Tyler .

Amongst tlio many improvements wo havo recentl y had occasion to notice , in various parts of the metropolis * , miy be mentioned that at Van " Salmon and Compasses , " Penton street- , Islington , whioh lias now heen converted into a

really handsome and recherche tavern . The compartments havo been subdivided , and fitted "with screens of stained glass , with elaborate designs , setting oufc the title of the house . Every arrangement Las ber-n nindo for the comfort

and convenience of the numerous patrons of this old est ahlishment . "VYe congratulate Bro . Hooper , who has just completed his extensive ' alterations , on the t ran ormation he has effected in the interior of the Salmon and Compasses .
