Notices Of Meetings.

in a manner that left nothing to be desired . Several visitors from Wakefield , Liverpool , Newcastle and Manchester were present . On the motion of tho J . W ., seconded b y tho J . D ., it was resolved to increase the annual subscription of tho Lodge to £ 1 5 s , and to devote 5 s out of this sum to a Charity Fund , to bo disposed of at the end of each financial year , by the vote of tho Lodge , to some purpose in connection with the Masonic Charities . This step was taken in

consequence of suggestions thrown ont by the D . Prov . Grand Master at the Prov . Grand Lodgo Meeting of tho North and East , Ridings , held atRfidear last August , that a small sum should be voluntarily subscribed hy each member of tho Lodges in tho province , in order that tho province might do mere for the Charities in the future than it , had done in time past , and wo believe that tho Eboraeum Lodgo , though tho youngest ; but ono in tho province , has been the first to take steps in tho direction indicated .

Concert At The Bow And Bromley Institute.

CONCERT AT THE BOW AND BROMLEY INSTITUTE .

THE truly charitable instinct of the East-end Masons , abundantly conspicuous on many occasions , was again exemplified on Thursday , the 11 th inst . By tho assistance of a Committee of Stewards , consisting of some thirty odd brethren , more or less eminent , and under the immediate patronage of the Secretaries of the three Institutions , a Grand Concert was given at the Bow and Bromley

Institute , the entire profits of which will bo divided amongst tho Masonio Charities . The Hall of the Institute , exceedingly lofty , is not over spacions , and , having no gallery , affords accommodation for only about five hundred persons . Tho floor is level , but the platform ,

holding a magnificent organ , is sufficiently elevated to secure an uninterrupted view to the entire audience . The decorations and panellings are chaste , of ' neutral tints , and very pleasing to the eye . Shortly after tho appointed time , the proceedings commenced with an organ solo , by Mendelssohn , excellently performed b y Miss

Concert At The Bow And Bromley Institute.

Georgiana Conves . The first portion of tho programme included a variet y of songs , diets , violin solos , & c , mostly of the old-fashioned kind , vet none the less plens'iig , owing to the caro which every one of the artistes bestowed upon their respective performances . Tho May-pole song was satisfactorily rendered by Miss Coyto Turner . Mr . Arthur E . Hooper , though excellent , was somewhat deficient

in his upper notes , in which the wonted ring and clearness was missing . Special mention must be undo of the talented Afiss Jessie Boyd , whose exquisite rendering of " Tho Bird that came in Spring , " by Benedict , elicited tho most enthusiasric applnu ^ o , to which sho very graciously responded with tho well-known old ballad , " Joanetto . " Bro . Farnuharson delighted the audience with his characteristic

song , "Oh , ruddier than the Cherry" ( Handel ) , on being vociferously re-demanded , ho gave , with exceeding humour , " Tho fat Grey Man . " Miss Martha Harries was also most favourably received , tho audience at once recognising tho latent talent of the young artiste . Madame Wensley was simply exquisite . Tho three part , by Mesdamos Wensley , Royd , and Harries , received its due meed of

approbation . After a short interval , tho second part of tho programme was proceeded with , aud wo can only reiterate the gratifi . cation and delight loudly expressed by tho audience after each performance , which concluded with " A romance of Juvenile Literature , " by Bro . Farquharson , which was most enthusiastically applauded . Previous to tho separation of the audience , Bro . Binckes , in most

eloquent terms proposed a vote of thanks to Bro . Blain , which was seconded by Bro . Terry , and most enthusiastically carried ; with hurrahs and great cheering . Bro . Blain expressed his thanks . Tho enterprising Bro . 0 . Blain , whose indefatigable labours as Secretary to tho Entertainment Committee contributed in no small degree to

the snecess which crowned their efforts , will not fail to inscribe tho 14 th of December as a red letter day in his career , for on that very day the members of tho River Lee Traders' Protection Society presented him with a handsome gold watch and chain , value fifty guineas , for important services rendered in organising the same . It should be mentioned that the services of the artistes wore gratuitously rendered .
