DIBDIN'S GRAVE .
AS touching upon a subjeot dear to the heart of many a Mason , and one which has already been referred to in our Lodges , notably by Bro . J . S . Cumberland , P . P . G . W . N . and E . Yorks , at the installation banquet of the St . Michael's Lodge , No . 211 , we extract the following from a Provincial contemporary : —Learning that St . Martin ' s burial-ground , in Pratt Street , Camden Town , after lying
waste for many years , is to be opened as a recreation ground , Mr . W . Bell Freeman calls attention to the fact that in that place lie the remains of one who did so much by hi 3 songs to help to win our splendid naval victories , and no make our Navy popular—Charles
Dibdin . Mr . Freeman says : —The last time I ( in the company of a friend ) saw his tomb it was smothered with brick-bats , & c . ; still we managed to decipher the name " Charles Dibbin , & c , died 1814 , " and those grand lines in "Tom Bowling "—
His form was of the manliest beauty , His heart was kind and soft ; Faithful below he did his duty , And now he's gone aloft . " Poor Dibdin had a hard time of it , I believe , the latter end of his
life , the pension he received having been withdrawn on account of his political opinions . Now , ' cannot something be done to raise a fitting monument to this true patriot , whose songs will always go straight to the heart of every Englishman ? Personally I think
Westminster Abbey a fit resting-place for his ashes ; failing that , cannot a small ( say sixpenny ) subscription be raised ( so that many can contribute ) to achieve this object and make some amends for past neglect ? Tom Hood truly sings : —
" Evil is wrought by want of thought As well as want of heart . " Surely hitherto it has been an evil to have neglected grand old Dibdin , brought about solely by want of thought , let us trust , not
want of gratitude . Might I suggest that Lord Charles Beresford should do his best towards the furtherance of this object ? His proved bravery and well-known warm heartedness , combined with his popularity , points to him as the right man to start this movement . "

THE quarterly meeting was held at Colchester , on Thursday evening , 9 th February . The M . E . Z , Ex . Companion R . Clowes , presided , supported by hi 3 Officers , and a large attendance of members , while several visitors were present . During the evening the jewel of I . P . Z . was presented to Companion J . 0 . Turner T . P . G . O . The M . E . Z ., in making the presentation , spoke of the services Companion
Turner had rendered to the Chapter erer since he had been connected with it , but especially during the time he had been passing through the chairs . It must bo gratifying to Companion Turner to know that the jewel he bad the pleasure to pin to his brenst had been accorded to him by the unanimous wish of the Companions and
by their subscriptions ; he ( the M . E . Z . ) trusted bo would live many years to wear it and also to help forward Royal Arch Masonry in the Patriotio Chapter . Companion Turner suitably acknowledged the presentation . He said he honestly felt that the Companions had valued too highly any little services he might have rendered to
the Chapter . He had considered it to be only his duty whilst in , office to carry out the working of the Chapter to the very best of his ability , and it could not but be most gratifying to his feelings that
the Companions had subscribed for and given to him this very handsome jewel . There was to his mind no Masonio ceremony so grand and beautiful as the Royal Arch , and no brother could fully understand the extent of Masonic teachinsr until he had become a member
of the supreme degree . He assured them that he should always be proud of this handsome jewel ; whenever he looked upon it he should be reminded of the kindness and good feeling that had been
shown towards him by the members of the Chapter ; and when the time came that he should be called away , his family would value the jewel as much a 9 he did himself . The jewel , which is of gold , bears the following inscription : —
" Presented to Ex . Comp . John J . C . Turner I . P . Z . 51 P . P . G . Org , Essex , by the Companions of the Patriotic Chapter , No . 51 , as a token of esteem , on the completion of his year of office as Z . —Colchester , 9 th Feb . 1888 . "

THE fifth annual edition of this most handy and useful book is now before us , and from a careful perusal of its contents we may say that great pains has been bestowed on the work . Every available information that is of any value to the theatrical profession is to be found therein ; the names of all the towns in the United Kingdom are
given , with each place of amusement , the population , market days , distance from the principal London railway stations , fares , list of newspapers , and where lodgings may be had . For such a collection of information the author may justly say that his book ia " an essential to every actor ' s travelling bag . " Then there ia a list of
names and addresses of a vast number of actors and actresses , vocalists , acting managers , agents of all kinds , authors , composers , teachers of dancing and elocution , entertainers , musical directors aud composers , music hall artists , and scenic artists , which , of course , proves of great value . In short , every kind of information has been
provided by the compiler , who is to be congratulated on his improvements in the 1888 edition . At the end of the work is to be found a price list of all necessaries required in the way of " making , up , " wigs , & c . There is also a short article on advice to amateurs , which they will do well to read .
