The Worcester Exhibition And Provincial Grand Lodge.
THE WORCESTER EXHIBITION AND PROVINCIAL GRAND LODGE .
WE may remind onr readers that the Masonic Exhihito be held at Worcester , and to which we recently referred , will be opened on Wednesday next , and that the Soiree organised by the brethren of the district in connection with it , will be held that evening from 7 . 30 to 11 p . m .
A most successful meeting is anticipated , while , as regards the Exhibition , we believe it will far eclipse anything before accomplished , and while this is not saying much—bearing in mind the fact that the two held at York are about the
only previous attempts at anything of this sort—it must be remembered that Worcester has not tho same Masonic antiquities associated with it as York has , aud accordingly has to make up for local attractions by additional outside
ones . The regular Provincial Grand Lodge meeting will be held the following day , at the College Hall , Worcester ( by kind permission of the Yery Rev . the Dean ) , at 12 o ' clock . Amongst the business to be transacted is the consideration of the following notices of motion : —
( I . ) By Bro . Geo . Taylor P . G . Sec . — " That the sum of £ 5 5 s be voted from the Funds of this Provincial Grand Lodge to the Fund now being raised in honour of Bro . W . J . Hughan P . G . D ., and called the " Hughan Testimonial Fund . " ( II . ) By Bro . T . M . Hopkins P . P . S . G . W . — "That the sum of £ 10 103 be voted from the Benevolent Fund to the widow of the late
Bro . W . B . Hooper , formerly a member of the Semper Fidelia Lodge , 529 , Worcester . The brethren will walk in procession to attend Divine Service in the Cathedral , at 2 . 45 p . m ., when a Sermon will be preached by the Very Rev . the Dean of York , Bro .
A . P . Purey-Cusfc , Past Grand Chaplain , and a collection made for charitable purposes . The brethren will return to the College Hall , when Provincial Grand Lodge will be closed . A Banquet will be served at 4 . 30 p . m ., at the Guildhall , for which Tickets may be procured from the
Provincial Grand Stewards , at 6 / 6 each , dessert and attendance included . Special arrangements have been made with the Great Western Railway Company , by which brethren may travel at reduced rates , particulars of which may be had of the Provincial Grand Secretary ( Bro . George Taylor ) , Summerdyno Villa , Kidderminster .

A DIMIT . —Bro . Robert D . Holmes , of New York , long editor of the Sunday Dispatch , and one of the originals of the " University of Comus , " used to tell a good story of a Mason whom we will call , for perspicuity , Brother Lowry .

Worshi pful Master , and holding the same for one full term . His Lodge ( Good Gracious , No . 81 ) had suffered from jgtiorant and mischievous Masters before , but Lowry was more than i gnorant ; he was an Ignorant-ramus for all that the word implies , and as mischievous in his high position as one can well be .

between the churchwardens of a parish iu Suffolk and a company ° [ Freemasons , the latter stipulate that every man should bo pro-T 'ded with a pair of white leather gloves , a white apron , and that a . ° dge , properly tyled , should be erected at the expense of the parish , 111 which to hold their meetings .

GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY .
WE have boen favoured with copy of tho " Illustrated Guide " issued by this C unpany . Considering its price—only the modest sum of " one penny "—it is marvellous how such a publication can be offered to the public . With this , of course , we havo no concern . What we aro interested in bringing under the notice of our readers is , that the Great Eastern Railway Company makes known to its patrons , through tho medium of this Guide , its arrangement for
tho season for Home and Continental Tourists . These arrangements are on a most liberal scale . The tariff of fares is as low as it can consistently with economy bo made , while its service of trains is frequent and well regulated . It it unnecessary we should describe at any length the part of the home conntry which is traversed by the Great Eastern . It is enough that it includes within the range of its
system such popular watering places as Great Yarmouth , Lowestoft , Walton-on-tho-Naze , Cromer , and Clacton-on-Sea . Inland are the cathedral towns of Ely , Peterborough , aud Norwich—to say nothing of the many other pleasure resorts to which it furnishes frequent and speedy access . To all these Tourist Fortnightly aud Excursion Tickets are issued at remarkably
low rates , by first , second , and third Classes , the charges to Yarmouth mid back , for instance , being for 1 st Class 27 s 6 d ; 2 nd Class , 20 s ; 3 rd Class , 15 s 6 d ; Excursion Ticket ( Friday to Tuesday ) , 1 st Class , 20 s ; 2 nd Class , 15 s ; 3 rd Class , 10 s . The Tourist tickets , be it remembered , are available to 31 st December . But it is pro « bably the excellence of its Continental Service , infl , Harwich , on
which the Company chiefly prides itself , and not without good reason . We have availed ourselves of it before now , and are speaking , therefore , from personal experience , when we say that it is impossible there can be a better or speedier route to the Continent than that worked by the Great Eastern Company . The train service to Harwich is punctual and speedy , the boat service thence to Rotterdam
and Antwerp is similarly characterised , while the boats themselves are comfortably and even luxuriously fitted , there being the further advantage that the sea-passage lasts only a few hours . Moreover , by this route we are placed in direct communication with the North of Europe , while in the case of those who wish to make their way Southwards , the facilities are as great by
this as by any other line . But in the North , there are some States , such as the Netherlands and Belgium , which are well worth a visit . Not only are there the usual picture galleries , museums , and places of historic interest to be inspected or visited , but the cities and towns , the people , and indeed the country generall y , are unlike what we are accustomed to see elsewhere . Few
people have any idea of the wealth of sights to be seen in the Nether , lands , the quaint pioturesqueness of its cities and towns , and the character , habits , and mode of life of its people . Those who are in search of novelty will find it in Rotterdam , the Hague , Leyden , Amsterdam , Utrecht , elsewhere in Holland and the adjoining Pro . vinces , all these places being , thanks to the Great Eastern Company ,
within a few hours' journey of London , while if , having seen these hurriedly , they prefer devoting the greater part of their time to journeying np the Rhine , and making their way further South , into Switzerland , & c , Ac , they will have no difficulty in accomplishing their purpose expeditiously and cheaply by tbe
Harwich-Rotterdam , or Harwich-An twerp route . If further information is needed , we must refer our readers to the Guide Book itself , or better still , perhaps , to the General Manager of the Line at the Liverpool-street Terminus , or the officials at the principal stations on the Great Eastern and Metropolitan District Lines .
The installation meeting of the High Cross Lodge , No . 754 , will take place on Wednesday next , the 27 th inst ., at the Seven Sisters' Tavern , Page Green , Tottenham . We hope to give a full report of the proceedings in our next issue .
