The Governor Of New Zealand.
THE GOVERNOR OF NEW ZEALAND .
ON the 21 st inst . a complimentary dinner was given at Limmer a Hotel , Hanover-square , to the Earl of Onslow , K . C . M . G ., on his appointment as Governor of New Zealand . The dinner was given by the Onslow Lodge of Mark Master Masons , No . 361 , of whioh Lodge he was the first Worshipful Master . His Lordship , who takes a great interest in Freemasonry , was appointed Grand Senior Warden
in United Grand Lodge of England in 1880 , Prince John of Gluckaburg having that rank conferred upon hira at the same time ; and in other degrees the Earl of Onslow has always taken a prominent part . Previously to the dinner the Lodge held its regular January meeting at the Hall of tbe Supreme Council 33 ° , 33 Golden Square , at which
the Earl of Euston the Master of tho Lodge presided , and performed the ceremony of advancement to the Mark degree in admirable style , the candidate being Mr . W . R . Macaalpy . At the dinner also the Earl of Euston presided , having the E irl of Onslow on his right , and Mr . L . C . Gordon Bobbins , Colonel Shadwell Gierke , and Mr . A . Bott
Cook on his left . The company comprised Sir Lionel Darrell , Mr . Hyde Clarke , Colonel A . H . Biroham , Major J . H . L . Craigie , the Rev . G . N . Palmer , the Rev . C . J . Martyn , Mr . J . Inglis , Mr . R . Loveland Loveland , the Rev . H . R . Cooper Smith , Mr . S . Green , Mr . G . Farwell Jones , Mr . C . F . Matier , and Mr . Reginald J . Mure . The Earl of
Lathom , Lord Egerton of Tatton , the Earl of Limerick , and several other noble lords were unable to attend , aud sent apologies for their absence . The Earl of Euston , in giving the toast of the evening—the Earl of Onslow—aaid that aa Lord Onslow had marked well in the past in everything he had taken up , in every office he had held , so ,
as Her Majesty s representative in New Zealand , he would leave his mark there , and God prosper him in everything he did ! When he came back , after a brief absence , he would receive as hearty a welcome as he now received a God-speed and good wishes . The Earl of Onslow , in responding , said the Onslo . v Lodge had already paid
him the greatest honour a Lodge could pay by calling it after his name . He could not say that in undertaking the duties he was about to assume be did it with unalloyed feelings of pleasure , for there were many ties to be severed and many matters to be uprooted , but it was only for a short period , and there was none he felt more
deeply than his severance from Grand Lodge of England , Grand Mark Lodge , and the Onslow Lodge . He had undertaken something that was exceptionally interesting ; he was going to see a great country , a young , strong , and prosperous country , which combined many diversified and conflicting elements ; it was a country which
was loyal to the backbone , which honoured and respected Freemasonry and Grand Lodge , and yet was more democratic even than democratic England ; and with all those curious combinations it was , above all , a hater and abhorrer of the great principles of Free Trade . He . was pleased to think that , as Governor of a great
Australasian Colony , he should not be far separated from one who had honoured him with far greater distinction than he could pretend to in the Mastership of this Lodge , via ., Lord Kintore ; bufc ifc waa an augury for the future of the Empire that there were men who were willing to go away and leave the pleasures and comforts of a
civilised land for a very fow years for the sake of promoting tbe welfare of the great Empire . A great change had come over the spirit of Freemasonry in Australasia . It was not long ago that , for the first time , the Australasian Colonies . proposed to establish a Grand Lodge and a Grand Master of their own , and he believed that
it would be for the greatest usefulness of Freemasonry in Australasia thafc they should be self-sustained and cohesive . The Prince of Wale . ? , who fnlly appreciated these matters , had nofc hesitated to deolare that a closer union of hearts should be brought about by acknowledging such a Grand Lodge . After all , though many thousands
of miles away , they were not so far separated . It was nofc only true that a girdle had been put around the world in forty minutes , but thafc those wbo wished to go to Australasia on a visit could do so in a very short time , and he hoped that those brethren he saw around him would come oufc to New Zealand , and he promised them a hearfcy
reception at Government House . Wherever he might go he had this consolation , that he should always meet warm Masonio hearts who were willing to work with him , to set aside all distinctions and differences in the one bond of Freemasonry , and he should nofc easily
forget those words he had heard pronounced by the Worshipful Master thafc wherever they might be they would always find among Mark Masons true friends . Mr . Wilhelm Ganz , in the course of the evening , played " Home , Sweet Home , " and after the Tyler ' s toast the brethren sang "Auld Lang Syne . "—Daily Telegraph .
A Lodge of Instruction , to work under the sanction and designation of the Montefiore , No . 1017 , will in future meet every Thursday evening , afc St . James ' s Restaurant ,
Piccadilly . Bro . N . P . Vallentine , P . M . 1017 , has undertaken the Precepfcorship , and proceedings will commence at 8 o'clock precisely . Bro . F . N . Hardinge , 1017 , will ant an Sfinrntarir
The anniversary of the Lodge of Repose was held at Derby , on Thursday , the 17 th instanfc , when there was a large attendance of brethren . Bro . John Ryley was installed as W . M . for the ensuing year .
The Lodge of Rectitude , No . 502 , held a ball afc the Town Hall , Rugby , on Wednesday , the 23 rd instant , in aid of the hospital of St . Cross .
On Tuesday evening , the 15 fch instant , at a meeting of the Handyside Lodge , No . 1618 , held at Saltburn , Bro . Isaac Robinson S . W . was unanimously re-elected Worshipfnl Maater for the ensuing year .

As on the previous evening , at the same establishment , when the Wellington Lodge , No . 548 , held high festival , there was a very large attendance , and it is clearly shown by these two meetings that the residents in the vicinity are most zealous in the exercise of
their Masonio functions . The Lodge was opened by Bro . J . B . Williams W . M ., who was supported by Past Masters G . Bolton , H . Bartlett ( Treasurer ) , S . R . Speight ( Secretary ) , G . Dilley , J . Freeman , B . Banks , H . 0 . Freeman , J . J . Pitt , and H . G . Dilley . Amongst the Visitors were Bros . F . Binckes P . G . S . B ., J . Terry P . G . S . B ., F . R .

Justice Lodge in 1880—he has devoted his best energies to the service of Freemasonry . In the first place , he has served all the offices in his mother Lodge , and has taken a deep interest in the Justice Lodge of Instruction , of whioh he may be said to have been one of the foremost , if not the foremost , in establishing . But it is in
connection with tho Masonio Institutions that Bro . Emblin has mosfc prominently made his mark . In 1887 , the year before its Centenary , he undertook a Stewardship on behalf of the Royal Masonio Institu . tion for Girls , when the amount recorded on his list reached the magnificent total of £ 420 .

Goddard Tyler . Bro . Williams gave the addresses , and was congratulated by all present on the admirable way in which he had carried out the ceremony . A candidate for initiation now presented himself ; the ballot was declared in favour , and Mr . Campbell was introduced and took the benefit of Masonic light . The next feature was tbe
formal presentation to the W . M . of an elegant banner , to be used by the Lodge in perpetuity . This gift was acknowledged by Bro . Emblin , who stated the members of the Lodge fully appreciated the kindness thus exhibited by the Immediate Past Master . The announcement was then made thafc the Worshipful Master had undertaken a
Stewardship for the next Festival of the Royal Masonio Institution for Boys , and £ 1010 s was voted from Lodge Funds , the amount to be placed on his List on behalf of that Charity . An application from a member to be placed on the conntry list was favourably entertained , and a proposition for a gentleman to join the Order , in due form , was
presented to the Secretary . Shortly afterwards Lodge was closed .
