Diary For The Week.

The Great City Lodge , No . 1426 . —The monthly meeting of this Lodge , the second one of the present season , waa held on Saturday evening , 10 th November , at the Cannon-street Hotel , but waa very thinly attended . Bro . Keeble W . M . presided . Bros Baber S . W ., Fendick J . W ., Potter S . D ., Headon P . M . Treasurer , Blackie P . M . Secretary , and several members . The minutea of the

last meeting were read and confirmed . The Lodge was then opened in the second degree , when Brother Henry Dottridge , having previously undergone an examination , was passed to the degree of F . C , the ceremony being well performed by the W . Master . Tho cereraony was afterwards repeated , by request of the W . Master of the Lebanon Lodge , No . 1326 , and Bro . Gosler received his second step

in Freemasonry . On the resumption of the Lodge to tho first degree Bro . Hamer P . M . said he wished to bring under the notice of the Lods ; e the melancholy and sudden death of an eminent City man , a brother Mason , and one who had been a visitor to their Lodge on several occasions . Bro . Felton had occupied the position of chairman of the Commissioners of Sewers of the Corporation of

London , and at the termination of his year of office had retired with the respect of every one of its members , he also had held other important offices in the City . He was a Past Master of the Cripplegate Lodge , No . 1613 , and of the Victoria Lodge , No . 1056 , and was highly esteemed by all . His death was a very sudden one , for he was well and hearty in business one day ia the City , and tlie

next he was no more . His funeral had been attended by many of his City associates , and also by members of the Lodges to whioh he belonged , and he thought that as Bro . Felton was well known to tho members of The Great City Lodge , they would agree with him in paying a tribute of respect to his memory . He proposed : — " The members of The Great City Lodge , assembled on Saturday , the 10 th

of November 1883 , desire to express their personal sympathy with the brethren of the Cripplegate Lodge , No . 1613 , and the Victoria Lodge , No . 1056 , on the great loss they have sustained by the death of their respected Past Master Bro . George Matthew Felton , C . C ., who was so well known and held in such high esteem in the City , and that this resolution be entered on the minntes of the Lodge and

that a copy of it be sent to the two Lodges respectively . ' Bro . N . B . Headon P . M . and Treasurer seconded the motion , whioh waa pub and unanimously agreed to . The case of a distressed brother was brought under the notice of the Lodge , and a very liberal sum was voted , to him . The case of a widow of a deceased brother was also brought

forward , which was deferred for further consideration . The Wor ship ful Master announced his intention of representing the Lodge at the next Festival for the Boys' School , and asked the members to support him npon that occasion . There being no further business , the Lodge was closed and adjourned until the second Saturday in December .
