The announcement was made that the next meeting of Provincial Grand Lodge would be held at Windsor , and Provincial Grand Lodge was closed in due form . A capital banquet was most bountifully supplied by Bro . W . C . Flanagan , of the Great Western Hotel , Reading , at the Old Town Hall . The tables were laid for a party much beyond that which .

presented itself . The floral decorations by Bro . Dick Radclyffe were in excellent taste . Great praise waB awarded the caterer for his exertions . The customary toast list followed , and the proceedings were enlivened by some capital singing , Bros . Dyson ( Windsor ) , Shartau ( Westminster Abbey ) , and Becket and DeLacey ( St . Paul ' s ) , being the artistes engaged . :

Those who are interested in the new system of Electric Lighting , will be pleased to hear that the Electric Son Lamp , which was invented by MM . Louis Clerc and Bureau and was adjudged the Gold Medal at the Paris

Exhibition of 1881 , is now on view in the vaults beneath the Royal Exchange . The private view is fixed for to-day ( Saturday ) , and it will afford- us the utmost pleasure to give full particulars of the new lamp is our issue of next week .
