The Doric Club, Limited.
THE DORIC CLUB , LIMITED .
IT is contemplated to establish a first-class Club for Freemasons residing in , and visiting London , and with this object in view a Company has been regisfcpred nnder the above title , with a capital of £ 5 , 000 , divided into 1 , 000 shares of £ 5 each . It is proposed to secure suitable and well-furnished premises in the neighbourhood of
Pall Mall , containing Dininsr , Smoking , Reading , and Billiard Rooms , in addition to accommodation for Masonic meetings , and generally to provide comfortable quarters for brethren from all parts of the conntry . The programme is one which should be well supported , and if it can be carried ont in accordance with the proposals of the
promoters it will no doubt have many beneficial resnlts . London has hitherto been very far behind in according snpport to Masonic Clubs , not a few of which have been promoted at one time or another , only to exist for a short time , even if they ever got so far as to commence operations . In the Provinces it is different , there
being many towns supporting a Masonic Hall , and utilising portions ofthe premises for Club purposes , with results alike satisfactory and convenient . The Doric Club will be regulated by a Committee elected by the subscribers , while arrangements will be made fco provide members
with all information relating to the Craft , and for holding Lodges and Chapters of Instruction ; all of which will doubtless prove matter of interest to the members of the Club . We think , however , ifc is as a Masonic home for London and Provincial brethren that the Club will best secure patronage ; a place of meeting where brethren wonld feel
they were really " at home , " and where they would have opportunities of meeting their fellow Craftsmen . We are informed that some influential members of the Order have g iven their support fco the proposal , by accepting the office of Patron , bnt until we can officially announce the names of these Patrons ,
which we trust to be able to do at an early date , we confine onr . selves to referring our readers to the prospectus of the Club , whioh appears in another part of this issue , or to the Honorary Secretary , Bro . Joseph D . Langton , who will give any information that may be desired .
The Prince Leopold Lodge of Instruction , No . 1445 held at Bro . W . H . Myers ' s Printing Works , 202 White chapel-road , near the London Hospital , and the White chapel and Mile End Stations of the Metropolitan , Dis
trict , and East London Railways , will commence its Session on Monday evening , 28 th inst ., at seven o ' clock , and continue its meetings every Monday evening until the end of the Session in June 1886 . Wm . H . Myers P . M .
820 and 1445 , P . Z . 820 and Z . 1598 , Preceptor , Wm . McDonald P . M . 1445 , Z . elect 1598 , Deputy Preceptor , James A . Robson P . M . 1445 , J . elect 1598 , Hon . Sec . Craftsmen are cordially invited to attend .
The monthly meeting of the Board of Benevolence on Wednesday evening , at Freemasons' Hall , was presided over by Bro . James Brett P . G . P . Bro . C . A . Cottebrune P . G . P . Junior Vice-President took the Senior
Vice-President ' s chair , and Bro . Henry Garrod G . P . occupied the chair of Junior Vice-President . Bros . Col . Shadwell H . Gierke G . Secretary , and several other well-known Craftsmen were in attendance . Recommendations for grants
made at the August meeting to the amount of £ 140 were confirmed . There were 29 cases on the list , of which seven belonged to London—twelve were widows . The total sum granted or recommended was £ 675 , which was
composed of two sums of £ 50 , five of £ 40 , five of £ 30 , one of £ 25 , six of £ 20 , two of £ 15 , four of £ 10 , and two of £ 5 . Two cases were deferred .
The Masonic exhibitions held at York and Worcester have had one good effect at least , having led to the establishment of a Worcestershire Masonic Library and Museum , for which we understand collection is going on apace .
Bro . George Taylor P . P . S . G . W and Secretary of the Province , has already secured something like four hundred volumes of valuable and rare books ; over two hundred old medals of all countries , and a large nnmber of prints ,
certificates , aprons , pottery specimens , & c , & c , which will form the basis of the collection , and which , we believe , will ere long be permanently installed in its future home . We are all the more pleased to announce the result of Bro .
Taylors efforts as we have heard it said that we were inclined to throw cold water on this proposal—a statement very far from correct , as our desire is , ancl always has been , to encourage and assist , in every way within our power ,
the establishment of Masonic exhibitions . Wifch such a start as Bro . Taylor will be able fco give the Worcestershire Museum , we hope it will attract curiosities from brethren who now possess them and who may be willing to present them wherever they would be appreciated .
