Masonry Standing Still.

In connection with the Loyal Berkshire Lodge of Hope , of which Lieut .-Colonel Gerald Ricardo is Worshipful Master , a most enjoyable ball was given on Wednesday night at the Mansion House , Newbury , when the company had the advantage , to a large extent at least , of / the special

arrangements made for the Craven Club Hunt Ball held in the same building on the preceding night . Messrs . Boyer and Co ., however , naturally substituted Masonic mottoes and designs for the emblems of the chase conspicuous on Tuesday evening . Owing probably to dances and other

counter attractions in adjacent towns , the attendance fell short of that of last year , nevertheless the company numbered upwards of ioo , and were honoured with the persence of the Worshipful Master and Mrs . Ricardo , Past . Master Keyser ( High Sheriff of the County ) and Mrs . Keyser , and Mrs . astie Jriouse sister

Sperling , ot JDonnington _ (_ ro . rveysers ; . A well selected programme of dance music was admirably executed by the Band of the Royal Military College , Sandhurst , and dancing was jrolonged from about nine o ' clock until the following morning .

A presentation was made to Bro . John Haywood , at a recent meeting of the Devon Lodge , No . 1138 , Newton Abbot , in appreciation of the valuable services he had rendered to the Lodge as Tyler for 25 years , and as a mark of respect and esteem . The gift consisted of an elegant easy

chair , and was handed over by Bro . John Olver P . M ., who said the recipient had been a pattern Tyler , and was much respected by all the Brethren in the Western Counties .

They trusted that now Bro . Haywood had removed to Torquay his remaining days would be spent in peace , happiness and comfort . A silver plate , with an inscription , is to be added to the chair .

One of the most enjoyable balls held in Cardiff during the season was that which took place at the Town Hall on Wednesday night , under the auspices of the Tennant Lodge , No . 1992 . The ball , which was in aid of Masonic Charities , was attended by about 160 persons , and dancing was kept up

to the strains of Bro . Arthur Johnson ' s band until the early hours of Thursday morning . The Assembly Room and its approaches were tastefully and very effectively decorated .

The chairman of the committee was Bro . W . I . Vaughan W . M ., whilst Bros . S . O . Williams D . C , Walter James P . M ., A . L . Beard , G . Gray , and F . S . Bowling acted as Masters of Ceremonies .

A pleasing event , which must be almost unprecedented in the annals of Freemasonry , took place on Tuesday , at the Barnato Lodge , No . 2285 , held at the Cafe Monico , when Mr . Hyam Raphael was inducted in the chair as Worshipful Master for the ensuing year . He had the gratification of

having at the ceremony no less than five brothers , Messrs . Ralph Raphael ,, Philip Raphael , Geo . Raphael , Joseph Raphael , and Nat . Raphael , all of who are , of course , " brethren " in two senses . As these gentlemen constitute all the male children of the family , the nucleus is there for a small Lodge on their own account . — " Jewish World . "

The installation meeting of the Duke of Connaught Lodge , No . 1524 , to which we have already referred , will be held on Thursday next , 26 th inst ., at Anderton ' s Hotel , Fleet Street , E . G ., at 4 o ' clock . In addition to the

installation of Bro . Edmund Frisby the work of the evening will include the balloting for and initiation of five gentlemen , and general business usual at annual gatherings . The banquet is fixed for 7 o ' clock . ,

The annual social of the St . Bede Lodge , No . 1119 , was most successfully held in the Mechanics' Hall , Jarrow , on Wednesday ni g ht , nth inst . There was a large attendance , the social having become such a popular gathering that all the applications for tickets this year could not be entertained .

COMPLIMENT TO THE MAYOR OF HULL . A COMPLIMENTARY banquet was given by the Brethren of the Humber Lodge to the Mayor of Hull on Monday , 16 th , when the toast of the evening was proposed by Bro . W . E . Corris P . M . P . P . G . R . The speaker referred to the satisfaction which Bro . Gelder's selection for tho Chief Magistracy had afforded his Brethren in Masonry , and continued :

Masonry Standing Still.

And what a pleasure it must be to take a part in the government of thia great city , and help to shape its destiny . Our city is not decaying , nor is ita progress arrested . It is throbbing with vitality and conscious of its inherent strength and resources . Our old city is quaint and picturesque . A halo oi romance hangs around it . It boasts of a kingly name and Boyal charters . It ia rich in historic associations . Her people are proud of a long line of merchant princes ; of the prominent part which she has played in the

stirring events of " our rough island story . " But some of the legacies of the past have now , through the exigencies of modern times , become obstacles in the path of progress , in the way of those necessary changes so urgently needed to meet our expanding commerce , ' the want of our increasing population , the culture and equipment of the people in this competitive

age , the opportunity for their rational recreation , as well as the want of rapid conveyance , and wide and commodious thoroughfares between our extended borders . Much has . been done , much is being done , by our city fathers , and great credit is due to them , and they deserve our warm praise . We trust that you , Bro . Mayor , and your colleagues , may be able to accomplish much more in this our day and generation . followed the note sounded Corris

Bro . Gelder , in his response , by Bro . . "I am quite certain Hull will continue to progress , " he said "for the Corporation is a progressive body . It is quite true our forefathers were not so progressive , but even they lived up to their ideas and judgment , and to the exigencies which surrounded them . Hull is rapidly increasing , and that is our argument for pushing on with measures to make the city all the more convenient , all the more beautiful and beneficial to the ratepayers generally . There is nothing so revolutionary as standing still . " The Mayor

added : " I can assure you , Brethren , that it is not my intention to become in any way a faddist or turn out to be a crank , so aptly described by Brother Corris . I should not like to be considered a one idea man , but at the same timo we require in our civic bodies men who are leaders , distinctly in advance of their fellows , and we are glad to have such in the Hull Corporation . Next to the honour done mo by the Corporation , I foel none greater than the honour and compliment paid me by the members of my Masonio Lodge , for which I tender you my most sincere and grateful thanks .
