NOTICES OF MEETINGS .

Austin P . M . Preceptor , and several other brethren . Tho W . M . worked the ceremony of the 1 st degree , Bro . Baxter acting as candi . date . Tho 1 st , 2 nd , 3 rd , and 4 th . Sections were worked by Bro Webb , and the 5 th by Bro . Crawley , assisted by the brethren . Bro Grammer was elected as W . M . for the next meeting . All Masonic business being ended , tho Lodge was closed in ancient form .

St . MungO Lodge , No . 27 . — This old and influential Lodge met in St . Mark ' s Hall , 17 th August , Bro . Dnguld Ilutler R . W . M . presiding , T . Hastie D . M ., Dr . J . Mclnnes S . W ' ., Garrick McComb J . W . There was a large attendance of visitors , amongst whom we noticed on the dais Bros . W . Bell P . M . 3 £ , Wheeler 73 , G . Fisher J . W .. A . Bain W . M . 103 , R . McLeod S . D . 12 'J , Paisley ,

Angus Nicholson 188 , J . Morgan R . W . M . 219 , D . Gilchrist R . W . M . 465 , and three brethren hailing from American Lodges , viz ., Bros , Mathison of 37 , Ohio , Jas . F . Shaw No . 70 , Connecticut , and the R . W . M . of Mount Zion , Columbia . Que brother was passed to the 2 nd degree , Bro . Bain , P . M . of 103 , performing the work in his usual careful style . The Lodge was then called to refreshment , with Bro .

Bain as Junior Warden ; after the Master had proposed the Queen and the Craft and tho Grand Lodges , he gave the P . G . L ., coupling it with Bro . J . Morgan , whom ho congratulated as the coining Provincial Grand Secretary . Bro . Morgan , in reply , said he had no ambition to fill tho post designated ; true , he had acted at the last meeting as interim secretary , and he had been requested

to call another meeting , but he thought a better qualified person might be found to fill the office , who was older as well as a better Mason . Bros . Bain , Bell and Wheeler , all urged Bro . Morgan to retain the office , he being well qualified ; as , in their opinion , it required a young man possessing energy as well as ability . Bro . Shaw , of Connecticut , returned thanks ou behalf of tho American brethren ,

and D . Gilchrist for tho Visitors . Bro . Morgan gave "The Press , coupling with it the names of Bros . Nicholson of the Gael , and Wheeler of the " FKEKMASON ' S CHRONICLE . " Both brethren suitably acknowledged the compliment , Bro . Nicholson saying he might have replied to that of the visitors hailing from Stornaway , or to the Americans , as he had long resided in Canada ; but perhaps , as editor

of the Gael , they would like him to give them a Gaelic speech , but he would defer that till their next meeting . Bro . Wheeler proposed " Prosperity to St . Mungo ' s , No . 27 , and her Master . " The R . W . M ., in his reply , claimed for his Lodge the honour of being the oldest in Scotland , as well as the most respected . Bro . Bell gave " the

Officebearers , " which was acknowledged by the Wardens , Bros . Mclnnis and McComb . Tho final toast was given from the Chair , all being well satisfied . The pleasure of the eveuing was enhanced by tho vocal abilities of Bros . Sharp , Stewart , Thompson , Butler , Brodio and Bain .

Preceptor , Pelton acting Secretary , Gomm S . D ., Sayer J . D ., Smith I . G . The first ceremony

was rehearsed , Bro . Hill as candidate . The method of examination , entrusting , opening and closing iu the second and third degrees , were then rehearsed . Bro . Jas . Stevens P . M . begged permission to make a few observations which , he thought , miylit prove instructive , or , at any rate , tend to ventilate a few points in Masonic procedure , which to many , especially of the younger brethren , are always more or less obscure . Amongst other matters , he pointed out a method of

advancing , easy for the Deacon and intelligible to the candidate . He next gave reasons why the three great lights should be placed different to their position in this and most other Lodges . An interesting discussion then ensued respecting matters highly important , bnt which we do not deem advisable to publish . Bro . Turqupnd will preside next Wednesday , when he will work the ceremony of iustallation . Bro . J . Stevens P . M ., the appointed candidate , will after , wards explain the first traciug-board , Bro . Gottheil , in proposing a
