Notice Of Meetings.
and the Prov . G . Officers , Bro . T . B . Whytehead said that Lord Zetland had shown himself the right man in the right place , and tho circular before them , announcing that tho consecration of the Ferrum Lodge No . 1848 , at Middlesborough , would be performed by his lordship , showed the living interest he was taking in tho Craft in not leaving theso matters entirely in the hands of his Depnty . He ( the
speaker ) had lately been turning over some old volumes of the Freemason ' s Quarterly , and he had come npon the announcement of the appointment of tho late Earl as G . M . of England . Tho comments mado by the editor wore notvery complimentary tohis lordship , who was said to have been pushed into the office without any special qualification . Most of them remembered how tbo late Earl had falsified snch an
assertion by the manner in which he had endeared himself to the Masons of England , and he thought the case of the present Earl was curiously analagous . When Lord Zetland was installed at York , a few years ago , as head of this important Province , ho had heard it said that his lordship had merely been appointed becanso ho was his nnole ' s nephew . Well , how had the event proved ? Plainly , that
the appointment was tho very best that conld have been made . He believed every Mason in the Province honoured and loved his lordship as one who conscientiously did his duty to tho Craft , and did it well . It was a pleasant thing , too , to see him coming prominently forward in the Masonio Charities , and he was glad to know that York would support him well on the 9 th proximo , when his lordship
wonld preside at the Benevolent Festival . The list of the York Lodge , 236 , was already a very substantial one , and he hoped the junior Lodge would still sustain its already well earned reputation for charity . The health of the W . M ., the I . P . M ., Ac , was then drunk , and a very pleasant evening was passed , enlivened by tho singing of Bros . Wilkinson , Marshall , and others .

M . vacated the chair in order that his Immediate Past Master might advance the brethren whom he had initiated . Bro . Hart was on this occasion a candidate
for the third degree , and in due conrsc the ceremony was performed on his behalf . The Lodge was resumed , and Bros . Rnbenstein and Job Gillingham—the latter a member of tho Gooch Lodge , No . 1238 —were passed , Bro . Parkhouse in each case performing the ceremony in a most creditable manner . Bro . Lander now resumed the chair , and proceeded to close the Lodge . Before this was
done it was proposed that the sum of twenty-five guineas be expended in the purchase of a harmonium . After some remarks it was pointed ont that as thero was at present no accommodation for storing an instrument it wonld bo better to postpone the question for a time , and accordingly the subject was deferred . The W . M . announced that a Chapter attached to the Earl
of Carnarvon Lodge would shortly be consecrated . Ho hoped that it would be as well supported as the Lodge had been . Lodge was then closed , and the brethren adjourned to banquet , during which the W .

Parkhouse ) hoped the toast would bo heartily
responded to for all time . He trusted the members of tho Earl of Carnarvon Lodge wonld always respect the gavel of tho W . M . and show him respect . Tho present Master was as distinguished a Mason as ever lived , and had always worked hard for tho good of tho Craft . The W . M ., in replying , having expressed his thanks to the company for the reception they had accorded tho toast , said
ho shonld do his best to secure success for the Lodge dnring his term of office , so that when he vacated the chair he might leave the Lodge in as good a position as it was when ho was installed . The toast of tho Visitors was now given . Bro . Bartlo being tho first to respond , that brother expressed tbe great pleasure he experienced
in attending . But for tho invitation he had received to be present at their gathering , ho would then have been in Cornwall , he was extremely pleased ho had stayed in London . Bro . Stiles , who followed , complimented the members on the excellent way all their arrangements wero carried out . No Lodge could attain

a higher reputation than was possessed by the Earl of Carnarvon , both as regarded its support of the Charities and the excellence of its working . Bro . Gillingham also thanked the brethren for tho hospitality they had exhibited . Ho was especially indebted to them for their kindness in advancing him to his second degree . Bro . Spencer also responded . The W . M . then briefly introduced
tho toast of tho Past Masters , to which , after a most hearty reception had been accorded by tho brethren , each responded . Bro . Parkhonse having expressed his thanks , desired to say a few words on behalf of tho Charities , for ono of which he was working as Steward . If any of those who were present felt they could give anything for the maintenance of tho Royal Masonio Benevolent
