THE NEW LODGE AT PORTSMOUTH . VISIT OF H . R . H . THE DUKE OF CONNAUGHT .
THE brethren of the Province of Hampshire ancl the Isle of Wight have reason to be extremely proud of the recent addition that has been made to the Lodges of their district , and are to be congratulated on the splendid success which attended the inauguration of their new Lod « 'c—the Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar , No . 1903 .
We only hope that an existence begun under such auspices as attended the Consecration may be continued for many years to come , and that fcho same degreo of success may ever attend the new Lodge as was-man if est at its first meeting . The R . W . Provincial Grand Master , Bro . W . W . B .
Beach , Esq ., M . P ., acted as Consecrating and Installing Officer , ancl he fulfilled the duties of those important offices in a most satisfactory manner . The meeting was hold on Wednesday , 25 th inst ., in the Lecture Hall , Penny-street , Portsmouth , which had been most tastefully decorated , with
flowers , banners , & c ., and when filled by the brethren , as it was in every part during the ceremony , presented a most pleasing spectacle . A special train from London brought H . R . H . the Duke of Connaught and several influential members of Grand Lodge . They were received at the
railway station by Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar , who was accompanied by his Staff and Lord Charles Beresford , Commander of the Royal Yacht Osborne , the W . M . designate of the new Lodge , and proceeded direct to the place of
meeting . On the entrance of His Royal Highness into the Lodge , the march , " Hail to our Prince , " composed by Bro . Winfcerbottom , Bandmaster of the Royal Artillery , was played by Bro . G . Jones , Prov . G . Organist , and he and the other Grand and Provincial Grand Officers took
their seats amid the heartiest applause of the brethren assembled . Bro . Beach assumed the chair , and was supported on the dais by H . R . H . the Duke of Connaught , the Right Hon . Lord Tenterden Prov . G . M . Essex , Bro . Montague Guest , M . P ., Prov . G . M . Dorset , Bro . Samuel
Eawson P . D . G . M . China , Lieut .-Col . H . S . Somerville Burney , Rev . C . J . Martyn ancl Rev . C . W . Arnold P . G . Chaplains England , W . Hickman P . A . G . D . of C . Deputy Prov . G . Master , & c . The Lodge was then opened in the three degrees , and tho brethren having saluted the Grand
and Provincial Grand Officers , the ceremony of consecration was proceeded with , the Lodge being in due course formally constituted by the Provincial Grancl Master . The installation of Lord Charles Beresford then took place , and he , having appointed his Officers , proceeded to close
the Lodge , first tendering a vote of thanks to the Provincial Grand Master , and proposing that H . R . H . the Prince of Wales , H . R . H . the Dnke of Connaught , and the Provincial Grand Master should be elected honorary members of the new Lodge . Bro . Townsend , who was
appointed P . M . of the Lodge , said he had been requested by his brother Founders , to tender to the newly installed Worshipful Master their sincere thanks for the great consideration he had shown in undertaking the first Mastership of the Lodge , and to present to him a Founder ' s jewel , which
they hoped he would accept as a pleasing memento of this most auspicious occasion . Lord Beresford suitably responded , and proposed a vote of thanks to His Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught for having done them the honour of attending . He had done so at great per .
sonal inconvenience , and the Worshipful Master felt that the presence of His Royal Highness had added greatly to the success of what he deemed a most important meeting . -The Duke of Connaught cordially expressed his thanks for the reception that had been accorded him . He had
attended with the greatest pleasure the proceedings of the c'ay , and looked upon the ceremony as tbe most imposing ne had ever witnessed in connection with Freemasonry , alone excepting the Installation of His Royal Highness the irmce of Wales as Grand Master , at tho Albert Hall . Heart y good wishes having been tendered bv the visitine
Brethren , the proceedings were brought to a conclusion , about 250 of the brethren afterwards partaking of a banquet at the Headquarters of the Artillery Volunteers , under the presidency of Lord Charles Beresford . In addition to those already named , the Worshipful Master was
supported by Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar , and many otner distinguished personages . As we have alread y said , the greatest credit is clue to all wDo nave ^ aken a part in the eataWisliment of { llig new ctge , wllicQ undoubtedly has started under more

favourable auspices than any other of the r ' . any now in existence . The petition to tho Grancl Master bore the names of upwards of sixty brethren , so that the Lodgo really started with a membership far in advance of that enjoyed by the majority of English Lodges ; we only hopo
that this prosperity at starting may continue , and that for all time the Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar Lodge may stand out as a grand illustration of the principles of Freemasonry . It is our intention to give a full report of the day ' s proceedings in our next issue .
We publish elsewhere in our columns a pretty full account of the proceedings of tho annual distribution of prizes to tbe pupils of tho Masonic Female Orphan School , Dublin , with reference to which Ave took occasion to offer a few remarks in our last week's issue . We have since
been favoured with , and acknowledge with sincere thanks , receipt of copy of the full "Report presented by the Governors of the Masonic Female Orphan School to the Grand Lodge of Ireland " on 5 th May current . We stated then thafc the amount of subscriptions promised to 4 th May
was £ 10 , 523 , of which £ 7 , 353 had actually been paid . It seems , however , that a Dublin Lodge and Chapter , to wit the Shakspeare , No . 143 , has promised a further £ 600 , conditionally on its having accorded to it the ri ght of nominating one pupil from time to time for thirty years ,
but as yet there has been no time to submit the proposal to the Governors . If , as is most probable , the Governors accept the offer , then the subscriptions will reach £ 11 , 123 , or within rather less than £ 900 of the total sum required , namely , £ 12 , 000 . Of the amount promised , Dublin Lodges ,
Chapters , and Preceptories figure for a fraction over £ 8 , 200 , and the Provinces for £ 1 , 953 , while , in the shape of miscellaneous subscriptions , that is , from Grancl Lodge and Grand Chapter , Great Priory Ireland , Grand Council 33 ° England , & c , & c , there is a further sum of
over £ 968 , the total from these three sources being , as we have said , £ 11 , 123 . In addition are contributions for special purposes , namely , 250 guineas , by Speedy Memorial Fund , for Infirmary ; ancl £ 100 , by Earl of Pembroke , for Railings ; while Bro . John McCnrdy , C . E ., has promised to defray
cost of additional piers for Entrance Gates . This bears out fully the statement that the Provinces , which receive the greater share of the benefits of the Institution , do not give as much help as might justly be expected of them . One excellent idea , which seems to have been acted upon
with considerable advantage , should find favour with us about this time—that is , for some weeks before our Charity Festivals . It is thus noted in the report : — "During the past year a suggestion to devote the COLLECTIONS afc Masonic meetings to the Funds of the ORPHAN SCHOOLS
has been largely acted upon , and a very considerable sum , contributed in separate donations of small amount , has thus been realised . " Ancl it is added , " If , in this and other ways , everv member of the Order could be induced
to make some contribution , however small , in each year to the Schools , they might be maintained in their fullest efficiency—at a cost which , being freely shared by all , could be felt by none . " We referred to this last week , but it will bear reiteration .
The concert at the Morley Hall , under the direction of Bro . George Wei ge , took place , according to announcement , on Monday evening last . There was a very good attendance , and the efforts of the musical artistes gave unqualified satisfaction . We congratulate Bro . Weige and those associated with him on the result .
We have great pleasure in announcing thafc , on the occasion of Her Majesty ' s birthday , the Queen has directed letters patent to be issued , conferring on His Royal Highness Prince Leopold , K . G ., & c , the style and titles of Duke of Albany , Earl of Clarence , and Baron Arklow .
