announced that the collection in church amounted to £ 8 5 s lid . He had received a cordial invitation to hold Prov . Grand Lodge at Looe , but inasmuch as such a large number attended Grand Lodge , he felt bound to consider

the convenience of the greater number and hold Grand Lodge in large central positions , close to the railway . He welcomed Bro . Sir Charles Sawle on his Jubilee appointment as Junior Grand Warden . He mentioned that he

received applications from several Lodges to allow processions on Jubilee day , but ho thought it inadvisable to allow it . He had the power invested in him of conferring past rank on certain brethren , in commemoration of the Jubilee . He then conferred past rank on the

to the Province as Secretary for many years , and his courtesy to the brethren generally . Bro . Hughan , in seconding , suggested that the Prov . Grand Master should devise some permanent form of commemorating Brother Anderton ' s services . The Prov . Grand Master said he

The Theatres, &C.

THE THEATRES , & c .

Terry ' s . —The latest addition to tho list of London theatres ia one we may bo proud of . From appearances , Terry ' s Theatre , conveniently situated in tlie Strand , may be prouounced as safe as human hand : * can make it . Every precaution has been taken ; each part of tho house has at least two exits . The theatre is constructed

ot concrete aud iron , no wood being used in the auditorium , except for windows and doors , aud even those aro covered by fire-proof paint . Another precaution is an asbestos curtain , which is declared to bo equal to , if not better than , an iron curtain . Moreover , the theatre * is lighted by electricity . Both the interior and exterior are

decorated in the i letmsh style , the inner colouring being a deep brown piuk with apple green and gold , while the silk curtains and hangings are of tho same tint . In short , we may say that Terry ' s Theatre is a cosy , safe and most comfortable one . Having given fall attention to this part of his business , Air . Edward Terry , the solo lessee

and manager , naturally next looks to what attraction he can put forth for his opening night . Believing that lovers of farcical comedy had not become tired of " The Churchwarden , " he chose this piece , and we think this was a happy selection . A play better suited to Air . Terry ' s stylo conld not be found , his portrayal of ChnfFy—the

Churchwarden , on a visit to London—being perfect ; his convulsions , wild expedients , and facial contortions aro severall y brought into play , with a resnlt that you have a strong- inclination to laugh whenever ho is on the . stage . Needless to say , Mr . Terry received a

most hearty reception , and at tlie conclusion was called on for a speech . Capital help was rendero i by Air . Lionel Brough , who gave a good rendering of the part of Bearder . Alessrs . T . C . Valentine ( Gnddam ) , J . W . Erskine ( Hilton ) , T . P . Haynos ( Alfred ) , and the Misses M . A . Victor ( Mrs . Chutty ) , Clara Cowper ( Kate ) , aud

A . Aubrey ( Jane ) ably assisted . "The Churchwarden" was preceded by a new comedietta , entitled "Meddlo and Muddle , " in which Air . Lionel Brough also did well , while Mr . W . Calvert made

a capital military officer . Other parts were taken by Air . J . W . Erskine , the Alisses Florence Sutherland , M . A . Victor , and A . Aubrey . Air . Terry promises some " good things" for the future . We trust that success will attend him in his new home .

Standard . —A drama that can find scope for the labours of four villains , each cf whom is equal to the committal of murder , ought to have plenty of the sensational element about it . That tho " Tongue of Slander , " the new drama by Messrs . T . G . Warren aud John Douglass , can boast of this we readily admit , still tho incidents aro

slightly put together , and moreover they are on the same old lines . Villainy in tho ascendant during tho first threo acts , triumphant virtue rewarded in tlie Inst . Such is the latest Standard drama . In it , however , there is a scene which , for realism , we have never seen the like . Tho heroine has discovered a secret of twn of tho

villains , and to make sure she does not tell this , they try to drown her , ono of them struggles with her , all tho time working - himself along a plank that leads to a ship , and while passing some bales tho heroiue is thrown into tho water . By a quick movement , Aliss Beckwith , well known at tho Aquarium , takes the place of Aliss Amy

McNeill , who is playing the heroine , so that before one ofthe heroes arrives to save her , we aro treated to some excellent swimming . This is capitally arranged , tho real water scene adds another feather to the cap of Mr . Douglass . As already stated Aliss McNeill plays tho heroine ; and is , as visual , excellent . Mr . Bassett Boe gives a powerful

rendering of a drunken scoundrel , while Air . Richard Purdon is to bo complimented on his portrait of a Dutch Skipper . Messrs . Cecil Alorton Yorkc , Georgo Byrne , G . W . Cockbnrn , II . Lonsdel , Arthur Bvunton , William II . Day , iiiss Alarie St . John , and Aliss Kato Leslie render irood service .

A benefit matinee will Lo given at the Opera Comique Theatre , ou Balaclava Day , Tuesday , tho 2 uth instant , commencing at two o ' clock p . m . precisely , in honour of Air . W . IT . Pennington . Daring the afternoon the " 'faming of tlie Shrew , " iu which Aliss Wallis

and Mr . W . II . Pennington wili sake pa if , is to he given , followed by ono act of " The Blue Bells of Scotland , " by the Novelty Company . "The Charge of tho Li ght Brigade" will bo recited by Aliss Alillwr . rd . Numerous other aiti . stcs have cil ' ercd their services , so that wo may expect a vorv enjoyable afternoon .
