Eboracum Lodge, No. 1611.

EBORACUM LODGE , No . 1611 .

THIS Lodge held its monthly meeting on Monday evening , at the Queen Hotel , York . Bro . M . Millington W . M . was supported by P . M . ' s Bros . Whytehead , Cumberland , Balmford , Simpson ; Bro . Geo . Kirby W . M . 236 ; by his Wardens , and an unusually large attendance of brethren . Two successful ballots were taken for candidates ; and two candidates , elected at a previous meeting , were initiated , by the Worshipful Master , the J . D . g iving the charge . Bro . T . B .

Whytehead , as Treasurer of the building fund , announced that nearly £ 1 , 000 had been subscribed towards the purchase of a hall , most of it by members of the Lodge . The Provincial Grand Master had very generously subscribed £ 50 , and so also had Brother J . W . Woodall , of Scarborough , who was always ready to help in Masonio work . There was no doubt that the necessary funds would

easily be raised , and he was able to state that a meeting of members of the Mechanics' Institute had endorsed the action of their committee in the sale to the Lodge of their old building . Great ¦ atisfaction was expressed by the members at this announcement , and several additional debentures were taken up . Before the Lodge was closed Brother Cumberland P . M . presented to the Lodge

a framed photograph of Masonio emblems , Brother G . Irving presented a large framed and coloured bird ' s-eye view of Tork , and Brother Whytehead presented to the library a bound copy of the Voice of Masonry . Two candidates for Freemasonry were proposed , and the Lodge was closed . At refreshment several good speeches were made , and the proceedings were enlivened

by the singing of Bros . Cumberland , Wilkinson , and Child , whose performance of "Willie brewed a peck o' maur , " was exceedingly humorous . We may add that the building secured by the Eboracum Lodge for the purposes of meeting is situated in St . Saviour . gate , in the centre of the city , and for many years has been used by the Mechanics' Institute Society , who are now raising a fund for erecting

a new and larger building in Clifford-street . The old building is admirably adapted for Masonic purposes , having a very large lecture hall on the first floor , suitable for a Lodge room , and ground floor rooms available for banquetting room , smoke room , library , committee room , & c , and a caretaker ' s residence at the back . The price

is £ 1250 , and as some additional outlays will be required , the members of the Lodge have formed an Eboracum Masonio Hall Proprietory , and are raising £ 2000 by means of debentures of £ 5 each , bearing interest at a low rate . There is every prospect of the scheme being perfectly successful .
