the Lodge and visiting brethren , in consecmenco of the remote distance of the old Lodge Room from the New Hall , assembled at the house of Bro . A . Huttenbacb , which , on account of its convenient situation , he had most kindly placed at tho disposal of the R . W . D . G . M ., who , on arrival , shortly after three p . m ., was received with all duo honours . A temporary or occasional Lodge was then formod , duly

tyled , and opened in tho first degree . A procession wa 3 formed in the order prescribed by tho Book of Constitutions ; the several Lodges ( with their banners ) were duly represeutod , and tho places of absent District Grand Officers were temporarily filled by brethren appointed by the D . G . M ., and the brethren moved in full costumo towards the New Hall . After the brethren had taken their places in

the Lodge Room , the solemn and impressive ceremony of consecration was proceeded with . A Board of Installed Masters was thon formed , and Bro . T . A . Fox S . W . was inducted into tho Oriental Chair of K . S ., with tho usual mystic rites aud ceremonies , by tho D . G . M ., assisted by the R . W . Bro . F . H . Gottlieb P . D . D . G . M . Tho brethren were recalled , and the W . M . was saluted iu the three

degrees , aftor which ho appointed and invested his Oflicors as follows —Bros . D . Comrie S . W ., G . Lavino J . W ., A . Huttenbacb . Trea ., J . M . Anthony Sec , G . Griffin S . D ., H . T . Newtou J . D ., J . A . Sandilands Stoward , W . Spencer Organist , R . Dennard I . G ., E . S . Cohen Tyler . The Lodge being closed , the brethren adjourned to the banquet , room , whoro , under the presidency of the R . W . D . G . M ., ample

justice was done to the good things provided . The usual loyal and Masonic toasts were dnly honoured , and an agreeable and pleasant evening was passed . On the 31 st December a grand ball was given iu tho bauquet-room iu honour of tho opening of the new Hall , which was honoured by tho presence of the Hon . the Lieut .-Governor ( Colonel Anson , R . A . ) , Mrs . and Miss Anson , many of the leading residents , both official and private , Masonic and

non-Masonic . The decorations were magnifioent , and what further added to tho success of the affair was the presence of the band of the 28 th Regiment , which , through the kindness and courtesy of the commanding officer , had been sent from Singapore for the occasion . At midnight the dawn of the now year was heralded by a splendid display of fireworks ; the guests then retired to supper , after which dauoing was resumed aud continued till the small hours of morning . To W . Bro . Fox and the committee

appointed to carry out the arrangements too much praise cannot be given for tho satisfactory manner iu which everything passed off . St . John the Evangelist's Day 1878 will hereafter be a red-letter day in the memories of the Freemasons of Penang . Lodge Royal Prince of Wale 3 is yet in its infancy , but it numbers in its ranks many brethren of zeal aud ability , who have the

highest interests of the craft at heart , by whoso exertions it has overcome grave difficulties in the past , and by whose presence and nspistauce it may hopefully look forward to a bright future . Clinging to the traditions of tho past aud closely adhering to the ancient , landmarks of the Order , wo trust that in rears to

come this Lodge may rise to rank aud eminence on the long roll of the Grand Lodge of England . So shall tho work now consummated bring forth good fruit iu due season , and the labours of those who bore tho heat and burden of the day—labours dedicated to the glory of T . G . A . O . T . U . and the interests of our beloved Order—will not have been in vain .

" Hence , midst the ruin of three thousand years , Unhurt , unchang'd , Freemasonry appears ; Her fair towers and monuments may fade away , Her truth and soci A love shall ne ' er decay . "

The first annual ball of the Burdett Contts Lodge , No . 1278 , took place on Wednesday , at the New Manor Rooms , Mare-street , Hackney . A select party of brethren and ladies were present , and spent a veiy enjoyable evening , all seeming alike anxious to add to the comfort

of their friends . We understand that the result , financially , is snch as will enable the Committee to place a goodly sum on the list of Bro . Crouch , their W . M ., who is acting as Steward for the Lodge ; this will serve

as an incentive to reuewed efforts in years to come . Bro . Sturtevant , the Hon . Sec , aud the Board of Stewards deserve thanks for their efforts to make the ball a success , and we hope the Lodge will long have their assistance in any cause it may undertake .

The regular meet-ng of the The Great City Lodge , No . 1 , 426 , was held on Saturday , 8 th hist ., at the Cannonstreet Hotel . A report shall appear in our next issue . We must ask the indulgence of the members until then .

A dramatic performance under the auspices of the members of the Mereey Lodge , No . 477 , in aid of the funds of the Royal Masonic Institution for Girls , London , aud of the Cheshire Masonic Educational Institution , has been fixed to take place on Wednesday tho 26 th inst ., at the Theatre Royal Birkenhead .
