On tho 27 th December

the Lodge resolved on commemorating its first festival by purchasing a Life Governorship to the Boys' School . At the meeting of the D . G . Lodge of Malta , held in that island on the 30 th March 1878 , several Tunis brethren wero presented , and it was announced that the District of Malta had been extended , so as to include the Regency of Tunis in its jurisdiction .

Franckel S . W . 1717 were honoured with the appointments of D . G-S . W . and D . G . Chaplain respectively , and two other members were appointed D . G . Stewards . On the 22 nd June following , a meeting of the D . G . Lodge was held at Tnnis , nuder tho banner of the Ancient Carthage Lodge . Bro . Kingston D . G . M . presided , and amongst those who supported him were Bros . Broadley D . G . S . W .

and Rieohelman D . G . J . W . Bro . Kingston's reception was a most hearty one , and Bro . Broadley ' a address was admirable . On the 6 th September the latter was re-elected W .

About this time , too , was published a translation of the bye-laws in Italian by Bro . A . Perini . M . D ., who was installed Bro . Broadley ' s successor in the Mastership on 4 th October 1879 . During Bro . Perini ' s year of office the Lodge had the honour of entertaining Bro . Montague

Guest , M . P ., Provincial Grand Master Dorsetshire , and his Deputy Bro . Hambro , as well as Bro . Rosenbusch , D . D . G . M . So sensible were Bros . Guest and Hambro of the hearty and fraternal reception they experienced on this occasion that an address of thanks was passed by our Dorset brethren in P . G . Lodge assembled , and forwarded to Bro . Broadley and the W . M ., Wardens , aud members of

the Ancient Carthage Lodge . No less than 135 members have been initiated or joined since the formation of the Lodge , they being of almost every nationality and religion . The active members last year mustered altogether eighty-two . In 1879 , when Ancient Carthage had a muster roll of one hundred , several of the brethren who resided in Goletta , the port of Tunis ,

formed the resolution of petitioning Grand Lodge for a warrant constituting a new Lodge , which bears the name and number of the William Kingston Lodge , and No . 1835 , respectively . The Lodge was consecrated by Bro . Broadley on the 21 st June of that year , and Bro . J . E . L . Barker Past Junior Warden of No . 1717 was installed the first W . M . The D . D . G . M . Broadley , on behalf of his chief ,

presented the new Lodge with a handsome set of jewels and collars . At its annual Festival on 20 th February , eight P . M . ' s and W . M . ' s of the Tnnis Lodges were present , and an important speech was made fay W . Bro . Reado P . M . 1068 , and P . D . D . G . M . Egypt , who a few months previously had taken up the Agency and Consul- Generalship of Tunis , and become a joining member of No . 1717 . In May 1880 ,

Bro . Broadley was elected , and , in June , installed WM . , the ceremony being performed by Bros . W . Read P . M . No . 407 , P . D . G . Reg ., assisted by W . Bros . T . F . Reade , Perini , and Barker . The number of those who have joined or been initiated in the William Kingston since its constitution is given as thirty-five , of different nationalities and religious ; the present active list consisting of thirt y-one members .

The above completes the English Lodges forming the D . G . L . of Malta . There is , however , another Craft Lodge in Malta nnder the jurisdiction of the Grand Lod ge of Ireland . It was warranted in 1851 , and is known as the Leinster Lodge , No . 387 , being so named in honour of the late Duke of Leinster G . M . of Ireland , and it has attached to it a Royal Arch Chapter and Mark Masters' Lodge . The

first meeting was held in January 1852 , and Bro . Greshen was in . stalled W . M ., who filled the office , as did all hi 3 successors to 1875 , for only six months . Since 1875 inclusive the W . M . has been elected annually . The Irish brethren , we are told , were at first somewhat coldly received , but the feeling lasted only for a few months , and onr English and Irish brethren have since been on the very best of terms .

In 1856 , SirR . Douglas , Bart ., then a minor , was initiated by dispensation from the Grand Lodge of Ireland , and about the same time the Leinster placed its Hall at the disposal of Lodge Integrity , then 1771 . now No . 528 , attached to the 14 th Foot , and holding under the English Constitution . In recognition of this courtesy and hospitality Integrity made Leinster a present of five dozen handsome firm "

glasses . Among other presentations to the Lodge may be mentioned an inkstand , made out of a shell from Sebastopol , given by Bro . Robinson ; a square and compasses , by Bro . Layland ; a portrait of the late Duke of Leinster , by Bros . Swift and Good , and a splendid Bible , by Bro . A . J . Godfrey , of the 21 st Foot . Among donations b y the Lod ge are noted £ 20 to the Indian Mutiny Relief Fundin 1857

, ; £ 5 towards the relief of the Christians who suffered in Syria in 1860 ^ and £ 20 to the Lancashire Distress Fund , in 1862 . Among joining members of the Lodge will be found the name of Capt . Shadwell UILiUUl y Daiance to its credit

, may be described as in a condition of prosperity . Strange rs who may attend its meetings , says Bro . Broadley , will carry away with them the most agreeable recollections " of the hospitalit y and fraternal reception accorded to them . " We have now completed our picture of Craft Masonry in Malta .
