Annual Ball Of The Old Concord Lodge, No. 172.

ANNUAL BALL OF THE OLD CONCORD LODGE , No . 172 .

THIS annual event took place at the Princes' Hall , Piccadilly , on "Wednesday , the 25 th instant , when close upon 200 ladies aud g » ntlemen assembled to enjoy the capital programme arranged by the W . M . and hi * band of Stewards . Princes' Hall is a new departure for the Old Concord Lodge , and although not so commodious

and suitable for a ball as some places , everything was done to make those present comfortable . Bro . H . Tatton Sykes , the Worshipful Master , started tbe ball sharp to time , and dancing was kept up until past midnight before supper Has announced . This was served in good style by the Orienfil Astociation , Limited , of 26 New Cavendish Street , W ., and gave great satisfaction . Bro . H . Tatton Sykes

presided , and he was supported in tbe vice chair by Bro . W . Hunt , the S . W . of tbe Lodge , and on the right by Bro . Carl T . Fleck and "his little lot , " numbering something like 50 ladies and gentlemen . Brother C . Hooper supported Brother Fleck , while among the other brethren who took the head of tables we noticed Bros . F . W . Jordan , F . Davies , H . J . Cousenp , W . C . Sohneberger ( " the old firm " ) ,

and George King . After the good things had had ample justice done tbem , the President rose to propose the toast of tho Qheen and tbe Royal Family , which , we need hardly say it , met with anenthusiastio reception . This was followed by tbe toast of the Ladies . Bro . Sykes said that once or twice a year the ladies were invited to join tbem in what he might term the fourth degree of Masonry , and be

was very pleated to see them in such goodly numbers on the present occasion . The gentlemen assembled that evening , and especially the members of the Old Concord Ledge , ought to feel proud of the honour done tbem by the numerous company of ladies who bad gathered around them . The pretty dresses and smiling faces made tbe scene so bright , and caused the gentlemen present

to enjoy themselves so much , that he felt sure they would drink the health of the ladies in bumpers . This was done in true Old Concord style , after whioh Bro . Sykes called on Bro . H . J . Cousens to respond . In reply Bro . Cousens said he was exceedingly obliged to the W . M . for the kind things be had said about the ladies , and to the gentlemen present for the cordial way in whioh they had

received the toast . He conld assure them tbat the ladies were pleased to come to the Old Concord Lodge ball , and hoped to meet again on many future occasions . Brother W . Hunt the vice-chairman then proposed the health of the President . He congratulated Bro . Sykes on the success of tbe evening ; he felt sure that result was fairly deserved , for their President had taken

great trouble to make the ball enjoyable . Bro . Hunt asked those present to drink to the health of Bro . H . Tatton Sykes , whioh was cordially done . Bro . Sykes , in responding , said that whatever he undertook he tried to do thoroughly , and it was a pleasure to him to hear that those around him had so much enjoyed themselves . The company then adjourned to the ball-room , where dancing was

resumed with great vigour , Mrs . Hunt ' s Ladies' Orchestra playing some bright and attractive music . Bro . Jarvis , in his oapacity of M . C . jdid gcod service , and kept the ball going in splendid style until late in the morning , when the company dispersed , one and all agreeing that the ball had been most enjoyable .

London : W . MORIE * Co ., 127 Eegent Street , W . THE first of these songs is a bright and merry one , the words of Henry St . Clair have been put to such attractive musio by Valentine Hemery that we have no doubt it will become popular . Another good song is G . Hubi Newcombe nnd C . Francis Lloyd ' s "Dearie ;"

it is pretty , and is certainly worth singing . " Threads and Thrums " is a song that will be heard frequently , especially at smoking concerts ; good words by Valdemar hav « been set to spirited musio by F . Sewell Southgate . Perhaps the best of the four , however , is

" Hosanna in Excelsis , " by F . Amos and Ed . St . Quentin . It ia a sacred theme , and the music is so good that it is bound to demand approval when properly sung . The composer is to be congratulated on having done suoh good work .

" All for eaoh other . " Song . Written by J . C . Manning , composed by Charles D'Aoe . Bridgwater : CHARLES D'ACE , The Hill . IT is not often tbat we receive MaBonic songs for review , so that when they do arrive they are doubly welcome , especially if they are

good , as is the case with the one nnder notice . " All for eaoh other " has been written by J . C . Manning , while some appropriate and effective musio is snpplied by Charles D'Ace . The work is intended as a sequel to " Let Brotherly love continue , " and has been dedicated to the Et . Hon . Lord Tredegar .
