United Grand Lodge Of New South Wales.
Dr . Tarrant , and he could only endorse his sentiments by saying that Dr . Tarrant had said just what he ( Dr . Sedgwick ) would have wished to say . He was sure they were all much indebted to the conference for the manner in which
they had conducted their business . The resolution -was unanimously carried . Bro . C . T . Stokes said that , on behalf of the committees appointed from the three Constitutions to form a basis of union which had now been
unanimously adopted , he had great pleasure in returning their hearty and grateful thanks for the very kind way in which those present had shown their appreciation of their efforts . Those efforts had now been happily
consummated in the formation of the United Grand Lodge of New South Wales , and it was to the members of the conference a source of the greatest gratification tha :. their labours had so pleasantly ended . He could assure them
that no effort would be spared to bring to perfection the whole of the work necessary to carry out the grand object which they had now inaugurated . The labours of the conference had been very onerous ; each of the three
Constitutions had to discuss night after night most keenly any points which they thought might interfere with the dignity of those whom they represented . Their opinions were listened to by all with the greatest consideration , and
with the largest amount of brotherly and Masonic feeling . Occasionally little differences arose , but everything had been amicably arranged , for they were all united in one grand object , which was to attain Masonic union . Nothing
had been allowed to interfere with that one bright gu'ding star , and keeping it in view they had got over all their difficulties . They had not transgressed any point of Masonic law , nor had they violated a single point of
Constitutional law . They had ended their labours so far by arriving at that noble consummation of all their work . He had very great pleasure on behalf of the conference in thanking the Grand Lodge , and now he had to thank the
members of the conference themselves for their very great forbearance and the very kind manner in which they had shown consideration to him in the sometimes difficult position of chairman . His labour had been one of love and
scarcely one of work , for they had all had the one object in view , and hence had avoided splitting upon any rock or difficulty that had presented itself . The heads of the three
Constitutions then retired , and were accorded grand honours as they marched down the hall . The Grand Lodge was then closed in due form .

THE DEVON AND CORNWALL MASONIC CLUB .
HPHERE was quite a brilliant gathering at the Devon and Cornwall - * - Masonic Club and Hall on Monday evening , the 1 st inst ., on the occasion of the formal opening of the new Masonio Temple . The fonndation stone was laid by Bro . Viscount Ebrington , M . P ., P . G . M . of Devon , in December last , in the presence of about six hundred
brethren , and good progress has been made with the work by the contractors , Messrs . Lapthorne and Goad . The premises at No . 1 Princess Square , were utilized for the purposes of the club , aud a handsome building , three storeys high , classical in design , has been erected at the back . The lower room , which is 18 ft . by 28 ft . and
14 ft . high , is intended for banqueting purposes , and will comfortably seat 150 persons . On the next storey are two handsome Lodge rooms , together with the necessary offices and . retiring rooms , whilst on the third storey is a magnificent Lodge room , 60 ft . by 29 ft . and 24 ft . high , capable of seating about 700 brethren . The building will
be completely finished before Christmas . It will then be dedicated by the P . G . M . Viscount Ebrington , and it is proposed to have a grand demonstration in connection with it . This will probably take the form of a ball and conversazione on an extensive scale . Lodge Harmony , No . 156 , which opened the Huyshe Masonic Temple in Princess
Square about sixteen years since , most appropriately held the first Lodge meeting at the new building on Monday evening . The W . M . Bro . John Little presided , and was numerously supported . The W . M . welcomed the brethren of the Lodge to their new Masonic home , and trusted that they would continue to have a prosperous and
successful career and would work with that good Masonic feeling which had characterised Lodge Harmony in the past . Complimentary speeches were made by Bros . Major Tracey , the Rev . T . W . Lemon , and others . At the festive board Bro . W . K . Mitchell gave an interesting resume of the history of the Lodge . Reference was made to the
fact that the suggestion that the Masons of the three towns should celebrate the Queen ' s Jubilee by the erection of a Masonic Temple emanated from Bro . W . Derry P . M . 156 , who was now the Chairman of the Directors . Bro . J . R . Lord , Chairman of the House Committee , acknowledged the toast . He expressed a hope that all the Lodges
which met iu the Temple would work with love and harmony . Many years ago Bro . Keats , the architect of the present building , and the late Bro . Elliott Square tried hard to get the necessary capital for a Masonic Temple , but failed . Bro . Derry ' s suggestion was simply the revival of the efforts of Bros . Keats and Square .
