NOTICES OF MEETINGS .

— : o : — THE GREAT CITY LODGE , No . 1426 . THE last meeting of the season of the above Lodge was held on Saturday afternoon , 8 th inst ., at the Cannon-street Hotel , Bro . P . T . C . Keeble W . M . There was a strong master of the mem . bers of the Lodge , and tho following Visitors : —Horace Brooks Marshall 1349 Grand Treasurer eleot , W . E . Davis and R . I . C . Davis 1694 , M . Brown 1997 , E . E . Orombie 1623 , 0 . Darrant 943 , 0 . A . Soderberg , T . P . Martin 1765 , Glover 181 , G . T . Shorne

1632 , R . J . Petley 1471 , Nelson Reed P . M . 1572 , 1601 , 1671 , J . H . Bramley W . M . 957 , J . H . Thompson 1741 , J . A . Huckvale 1635 , Croft 1986 , Bnllen 943 . The minutes of last Lodge were read and con . firmed , after which Lodge was opened in the second degree , and Bros . Hooper , Wesley , Kelsey , and Cooper were subjected to an examination as to the progress they had made . Lodge was then

opened in the third degree , and they were raised to the degree of M . M ., the work being exceedingly well done by the Worshipful Master and his Officers . The next business was to elect a Worshipful Master for the ensuing year , and the election , which was almost unanimous , was in favour of Bro . Baber Senior Warden , who returned thanks on his election , promising by every means in his power to discharge

the duties to the entire satisfaction of the members . Bro . N . B . Headon P . M . was unanimously re-elected as Treasurer , and Bro . Potter P . M . as Tyler . The Almoners and Auditors were also appointed . Tho W . M . then said he should take a rather unusual course , and refer to the proceedings which had taken place in tho Grand Lodgo on Wednesday last , which had resulted in the election

of Bro . Horace Brooks Marshall as Grand Treasurer , and as that worthy brother was now prosent , he was sure the members of Tho Great City Lodge would congratulate him upon the result and givo him a hearty welcome , a request which was most cordiall y responded to . Bro . Marshall , on rising , was received with cheers ; ho said he wished to express , his heartfelt thanks to the members of

The Great City Lodge for the part they had taken in the Masonic events of the past week . It was not until Monday last that he became aware of who were to be the mover and seconder of him for the office of Grand Treasurer . He could hardly sstimate the great amount of brotherly love and friendship ho had received , and that he should ever remember . He must say that he

bad not even known his seconder , and had had no communication with aim ; indeed a great majority of those in Grand Lodge who voted in his favour knew no more of him personally than the man in the noon . The brethren had graciously , generously , and magnificently selected him to fill the exalted position of Grand Treasurer , although le was almost the youngest member of the Fraternity entitled to enter

3 rand Lodge . He confessed that he considerjd it to bo * a great aonour to be elected by the voice of tho Craft to this high position , tud ho could assure them that so long as it might please tho Supremo 3 eing to entrust him with life it was his determination to do all he ; ould for tho benefit of the three great Institutions which it was their jleasuro and happiness to possess . Bro . H . Thompson P . M . said they

ire toid that " Masonry is a progressive science , " and he thought hey had an ample proof that it was so in the proceedings which had akon p lace in tho Grand Lodgo on Wednesday last , whon a great jrinciplo had been vindicated , and the voice of the whole Craft had ) 3 cn heard in the result which had taken place , aud tho honour which md been conferred upon tho man of their choice . Although this wa 3 . ho only office in Grand Lodgo which it was in the power of the Craft

; o confer , ho had no doubt but that it might prove of advautago in ) ther respects , and be a gnide in tho future . His object , however , n vising was to rentier a due meed of praise to whom praise was due , ie therefore bogged to move : — "That the members of Tho Great Uity Lodge , iu opeu Lodgo assembled , having observed the decision it which Grand Lodge arrived on Wednesday last in tho election of a justodiau of the funds of the Craft at largo , desire to accord their sincere thanks to their esteemed Bro . R . J . Simpson their Chaplain ,
