Installation Of H.R.H. The Prince Of Wales.
INSTALLATION OF H . R . H . THE PRINCE OF WALES .
IT is well our readers should be made aware the limit of the time for inserting portraits in the official Historical Engraving of this memorable event is close at hand . None will be received after the end of next month . Any , therefore , who were present , and are anxious to figure in
the engraving , should forward their photograph at once , or else they should call upon Bro . Haigh , at 213 Regent-street , and be specially photographed , free of expense . Already , we are told , over five hundred portraits are in hand , and there is yet ample space for some two hundred more . We
have also received a list up to date of tbose brethren who intend patronising the engraving , and this list contains the names of most of the elite of the Masonic world , including
the King of Sweden , the Prince of Wales , the Duke of Connaught , the Baroness Burdett-Coutts , the Earl of Carnarvon , present and past Grand Officers , present and past Provincial Grand Officers , and other Craftsmen of high
degree . We trust the p icture will meet with success . Assuredly it deserves to succeed , for the event it depicts is the most memorable in the annals of Masonry since the Union in 1813 , and created more enthusiasm throughout the whole
Masonic world than any other we can call to mind . It was , indeed , a grand gathering of the Order , and those who were present cannot help , we fancy , wishing to have the fact of their presence handed down throughout all time . In many engravings the question of Who is Who ? may be answered much in the same manner as the historic
showman , who was asked , as regards the figures in his peepshow , which was Wellington and which was Napoleon Buonaparte ? " Whichever you please , my little clears ! You pays your money and you takes your choice . " This will not be
the case , however , in Bro . Harty ' s engraving of the Installation . Already , as we have said , over five hundred photographs have been sent for the purpose of insertion , and we doubt not the other two hundred for which there is still
room will be forthcoming by the tirao appointed . It was an honour to have been present and taken part in the ceremonial , and this honour is perpetuated in the case of all whose portraits appear in the engraving . Let then any of our readers who have not yet complied with Bro . Harty ' s invitation do so without further loss of time . We close this note of warning by repeating our hearty good wishes for Bro . Harty ' s success .
The Installation Meeting of the Etonian Lodge of St . John , No . 209 , was held , on the 4 th inst ., at the Masonic Hall , Windsor . The Lodge was opened at 4 . 30 p . m ., by the W . M . Bro . J . 0 . Carter , who was supported by Bros . W . R . Denne S . W . ( W . M . Elect ) , Canvin J . W ., Rev . J .
S . Brownrigg D . P . G . M . Chaplain , Pulling Treasurer , Strange P . M . as S . D ., Hume J . D ., J . Roberts I . G ., together with a strong muster of P . M . 's and members , as well as a number of visitors , including no less than three Prov . Grand Masters , namely Sir D . Gooch , Bart ., Berks and
Bucks , Col . Burdett , Middlesex , and Major General Brownrigg , Surrey . Mr . G . Blizard having been ballotted for and elected , was initiated . A handsome testimonial , consisting of a Provincial Grand Officer ' s clothing , and a clock , was then presented to Bro . Tolley , who , though not a
member of the Lodge , had rendered very eminent services to it . The W . M ., in his address , spoke very eloquently of the assistance which Bro . Tolley had rendered on all occasions , in working the different ceremonies , and Bro . Tolley displayed considerable emotion in his reply . Bro .
W . R . Denne , the W . M . Elect , was then installed by Bro . Carter , and afterwards elected , as his officers for the year , Bros . Canvin S . W ., Hume J . W ., Rev . J . S . Brownrigg Chaplain , Wilson P . M . Treasurer , Carter I . P . M . Secretary , Roberts S . D ., Schiemann J . D ., Nichols
I . G ., Strange P . M . D . C , Peart and Webster Stewards . The W . M . then presented a massive P . M . ' s jewel to the I . P . M ., Bro . Carter , and a gold albert chain to Bro . Pulling , as a slight acknowledgment by the Lodge of
his valuable services as Treasurer duriug the last twelve years . The Lodge was soon afterwards closed , and the brethren adjourned to the Town Hall , which had been placed at their service by the Mayor , and Avhere an excellent banquet was served , by Bro . J . Johnson , of the White Hart Hotel , The usual Loyal and Masonic toasts were
proposed by the W . M ., and received with great enthusiasm , Bro . Colonel Burdett responding for that of the "Pro Grand Master , the Deputy Grand Master and the Grand Officers of Grand Lodge of England , " with which his name had been associated . Sir D . Gooch replied to his toast as
Grand Master of the Province , and Major General Brownrigg to his as P . G . M . Surrey . The Rev . J . S . Brownrigg having first replied to his toast as D . P . G . M . proposed the health of the W . M ., who briefly expressed his thanks . Bro . Tolley presided at the pianoforte , and at intervals
between the toasts several glees and part songs were sung very effectively and with great taste , by Bros . Tolley , Christian , and Smith . A long notice , of which the above is only a summary , was forwarded to us in due course , but happening , unfortunately , to be
misdirected , it returned , after many disconsolate wanderings , to the place whence it came . Considering the name of this journal is by no means unknown to the postal authorities , Ave think they might have exerted themselves
more to find out the right address . Occasionally , we see paragraphs in the papers about the marvellous ingenuity which the Post Office displays in finding out addresses which are either wholly illegible or very imperfectly , and even wrongly , given , but they cannot be said to have exerted themselves in this instance .
Bro . Thos . Butler , pricipal M . C . at the Licensed Victuallers' School , Asylum , and Police Orphanage Balls , announces his fifth annual ball , at the " Criterion , " Regent Circus , Piccadilly , in the Grand Hall , on Thursday , the
10 th of February . All tickets must be filled up with the name of the presentees . Bros . Coote and Tinney ' s band is engaged ; Bros . Thos . Meekham and R . Johnson will be the M . C . ' s .
The composition of sherry has been freely discussed by the press of late years , and there is a pretty general opinion , we believe , that much of the so-called sherry has only the remotest connection with the wine of Xeres . However this may be in the case of certain brands—and there are many it
has been our misfortune to taste which we should be sorry to describe as of any particular vintage , from any particular country—we have never found anything amiss with the Specialite Sherry of Messrs . Feltoe and Sons . On the
contrary , Ave have always found it extremely soft and palatable . There is in it neither acidity nor heat , and a man may drink it , in moderation of course , without the lightest fear of its affecting his stomach with a sense of nausea , or his head Avith a racking pain .
The Lodge of Benevolence held its regular monthly meeting , at Freemasons' Hall , on Wednesday , Bro . James Brett , the Junior Vice-President , presiding . The grants , amounting together to £ 425 , made at the last Lodge were
confirmed . Sixteen new cases were then proceeded with , of which one Avas dismissed . Grants , to the aggregate amount of £ 180 , Avere made , in eleven cases , and the others Avere deferred .
We have the pleasuro to announce that the 101 st Anniversary of the Lodge of Prudent Brethren , No . 145 , as Avell as the Centenary Festival and Installation Ceremony , Avill take place on Tuesday next , the 25 th inst ., at Freemasons' Hall , Great Queen-street , W . C . The Lodge will be opened at five o ' clock .
A ivarrant has been granted for a neAv Lodge , entitled tho " NCAV Cross Lodge , " No . 1559 , and it will be consecrated on Saturday , the 30 th inst ., at the ToAvn Hall , New Cross . Bro . W . B . Woodman , J . D . 1275 and 94 ( 3 , is the W . M . designate , E . H . Thiellay , A . G . P . Middlesex , the S . W . designate , and Bro . Simmonds J . W . designate .
