DALHOUSIE LODGE BALL .

THE First Annual Ball in connection with tho Dalhousie Lodge , No . 860 , took place afc the Holborn Town Hall , on Thursday , 19 th instant , and proved one of the greatest successes of tho season . Danoing waa kept up withspirit , and was thoroughly enjoyed by most of those present . Bro . Weige , W . M . of the Lodgo , presided afc the supper , whioh waa well supplied by Bro . Giscard ( of Holborn Hill ) .

Knowing the pleasures in store for the guests in the ball room , the president expressed his intention of being very brief in his remarks . The toast of the Queen having beon honoured , he proposed ono whioh ho considered of almost as great importance . He only wished that it 3 proposition had been placed in the hands of some brother better able

to do it justice . When the heart was full , tho words came but slowly , and for this reason tho company must excuse him if he appeared to be lax iu paying a tribnte to the ladies . He felt delighted that the present meeting had given him an oppoi- - tunifcy of welcoming the ladies to a participation in the pleasures of

hia Lodge . With the toast waa coupled the name of Bro . W . W . Morgan jun ., who acknowledged the compliment on behalf of the fair BOX . Success to the Dalhousie Ball waa now given from the chair , and was heartily acknowledged by the company assembled , as was the

next—that of the health of the promoters of the Ball . Bros . Dobson , Dickins and Wallington having replied , the latter Brother heartily proposed the health of the President , whioh having been drunk in bumpers , was acknowledged by Bro . Weige . Dancing waa resumed and kept up till a late hour in the morning .

District Grand Lodge of East Jamaica will hold its annual meeting in the month of February . We aro glad to announce that we have recoived into the folds of Masonry the Eev . W . E . Pieroe , a clergyman of the Church of

England in Jamaioa , who was initiated into the mysteries at the Jamaioa Lodge on 13 th January , by Bro . Dr . Allen . This reverend gentleman has done so much good as a clergyman that we hope tho day is not far distant when we may hear that he has taken some prominent part in our noble and ancient institution .

We are pleased beyond measure to find that tbe Board of General Purposes consider it " as mucb a duty as a pleasure " to recommend tbat a gratuity of 150 guineas bo paid to Bro . H . G . Buss , Assistant Grand Secretary , for his services during the illness and absenco of the Past

Grand Secretary , Bro . Hervey , and from tbe time ot tbe lattor ' s resignation till the appointment of his successor . All who enjoy the privilege of knowing Bro . Buss aro aware of the zeal and assiduity he displays in the performance of bis official duties , as well as the uniform kindness and

consideration be exhibits towards all who are brought in contact with him . This recommendation , therefore , from tbe Board comes most gracefully from them , who have had especial opportunities of judging of his worth . We do not doubt that Grand Lodge will adopt the Board's

recommendation unanimously and with acclamation . Nor do we for our part regret in the slightest degree that so favourable an occasion has presented itself for offering our bumble testimony as to the value of Bro . Buss's Masonic services as Assistant and Acting Grand Secretary , and in other capacities .
