Grand Lodge was asked to sanction votes of £ 75 in one instance , and £ 50 in two cases . Three sums of £ 40 each and three of £ 30 each were referred to the Grand Master , and seven sums of £ 20 , four of £ 10 , and one sum of £ 5 were immediately granted .

IT has been determined that in accordance with Law 255 of the Book of Constitutions , two Past Masters of the same Lodge cannot be elected on the same Board of General Purposes . It follows that as a result of the recent election

Brother Robert Manuel P . M . of the Urban Lodge , No . 1196 , who obtained 295 votes , and who was fifth on the poll , retains his seat at the Board ; while Brother Japheth Tickle , also P . M . of the Urban Lodge , No . 1196 , who obtained 190 votes , and who was sixteenth on the poll , is ineligible to sit .

Bro . John Robertson Reep P . M . of Cordwainer Ward Lodge , No . 2241 , obtains the vacant seat at the Board , caused by Bro . Tickle ' s election being invalid .

Enlarged Hall At Blandford.

ENLARGED HALL AT BLANDFORD .

nnHERE was a large gathering at the Honour and JL Friendship Lodge , No . 1266 , Blandford , on Tuesday evening , 12 th inst . The occasion was a special one , inasmuch as the Brethren celebrated the completion of the set of Masonic

Rooms acquired by the Lodge . For some time the need of a more commodious supper room was badly felt , and it was decided to extend the room generally used . This has been carried out in a most satisfactory manner , and an excellent and spacious dining room provided , which was

opened by the Master Bro . H . R . Jesty on TuescUiy evening after the usual business of the Lodge had been transacted . The business included the initiation of Mr . G . E . Woodhouse , and at its conclusion the new supper room was used for the first time . An excellent repast was provided by

Bro . H . Champion , and the Master presided over a large gathering , which included a goodly number of past and present Provincial Grand Officers and Brethren from various Lodges in the county . The usual toasts were given during the evening and some excellent songs rendered . The gathering was of a most successful character .

At the conclusion of the business at the Portsmouth Lodge , No . 487 , on Thursday evening—five members being initiated—a smoking concert was held , a very enjoyable hour being spent . Bro . H . G . Fryer W . M . presided , and

his vis-a-vis was Bro . Triggs S . W . Among those who contributed were Bros . Isidore Marcill ( who splendidly sang " The Diver " and " Drinking " ) , W . Bate , W . J . Cronin , A . Gribben , G . Bevis , G . Symes , Bert Cunningham , and Gauntlett . Bro . Cowan presided at the piano .
