NOTICES OF MEETINGS .

UNIVERSAL LODGE , No . 181 . THE regular meeting of this Lodge was held on Thursday , 20 ch inst ., at Freemasons' IhM , Groat Qneen-atreet , under the presidency of the W . M . Bro . W . R . Norris . He was well snpported by the Offioers and members of the Lodgo and a goodly array of Visitors . The W . M . having opened the Lodgo in the three degrees , closed to the first , when Mr . George Clayton Penny and Mr . James Anderson Cameron were regnlnrly initiated , the W . M . performing his part of

the oeremony in a most impressivo maimer . At the conclusion of the initiations , Lodge was closed , and tho brethren adjonrned to tho banquet-room , where a most enjoyable evening was passed under the presidency of the Master . After grace the W . M . gave the first toast on the list , " The Crown and the Craft . " It had been said that the sun never set on the British Empire ; the same might , with equal

truth , be said of Freemasonry ; and so long as it continned to be as useful as it was at the present time , its popularity wonld be maintained . The next toast was that of the M . W . the Grand Master . The aoolamation with which the nomination of H . R . H . was received in Grand Lodge , aud the unanimous way in whioh he was re-elected , manifested the popularity which he had entitled himself to . The

lustre attaohed to his lofty station was reflected on each true Mason , all of whom were proud of him as their Grand Master . H . R . H . had himself said , that although not BO frequently among the brethren as he could wish , he yet took the greatest interest in all that appertained to the Order . After two songs , one by Bro . G . J . Dunkley , and the other by Miss Annie Larratt , tbe toast of the Pro G . M . and the Grand

Officers was given . The W . M . felt that few words were needed to recommend this toast . The brethren were aware of the great services which the Past Grand Officers had rendered to the Craft , and there was little doubt but that those who cow filled the various offices would acquit themselves equally well . The toast of the Charities came next . This was one dear to every Freemason . If it

were necessary to prove the good done by the two Schools , the result of the recent Cambridge Local Examinations would be suffioieDt for the purpose , the result thereof being mo 3 t favourable for the Boys' and Girls' Schools . If we turn to the " Aged , " we should there find comfort and repose provided for many who had borne the heat and burden of the day , and who , in the decline of life

had to seek assistance from their fellows . It was here announced that the Charity-box , wbioh had been passed round , contained £ 116 s 3 d—a very good amount considering the number of brethren present . The Worshipful Master then had pleasure in proposing the Initiates—a toast always dear to the Universal Lodge . No Lodge could exist without its old and tried members ; neither

could any continue without new members . He felt that the two gentlemen admitted that night would be a credit to the Order , and trusted that the Lodge which they had joined might prove a credit to them . Bro . Cameron considered they would be most ungrateful if they did not refcnrn thanks for the reception accorded them . He was pleased with his experience of Freemasonry , bnt his experience

so far was coupled with one regret—that bis first night in Freemasonry , when he had seen and heard so much to delight him , could not come again . There was something dear in the first of everything , but he hoped that his first uight in Freemasonry might not always prove to have been the best . Bro . Penney followed , adding his thanks to those of bis brother initiate . Bro . Fryer I . P . M . had once more the

pleasure of giving a toast . When he last had the privilege of addressing the brethren on the subject of their Worshipful Master he told them that Bro . Norris would prove himself a good Mason and fit to carry out the work . He thought that the work they had that evening witnessed had fully confirmed the truth of his statements . The W . M . returned thanks . If his humble efforts had met with the

approval of the brethren he was well satisfied . He hoped that during his term of office they would have love and harmony in the Lodge , with plenty of work at each meeting . The toast of the Past Masters was a very pleasing one for him to offer . He was indebted to his Past Masters for good and valuable advice . Not the least among them was his I . P . M . Bro . Fryer , whose labours of the past year , now

happily for him at an end , reflected great honour both on him and tbe Lodge over which he had presided . The Past Masters were a credit to them . Bros . Fryer and Wood responded , after which the toasts of the Visitors and of the Officers were given and acknowledged . The Tyler ' s toast followed , and then the brethren were called from refreshment and the Lodge regularly closed . Among the visitors were Bros . Syme Mary Chapel 1 Scotland , Christie 7 , Little 166

Graham , who was supported by Miss Amy Graham , Miss Annie Larratt , Miss Amy Keddle , Bros . Chaplin Henry , H . P . Matthews , C . M . Mitchell , and E . C . Baron Read .
