During the course of the proceedings the splendid band of the 74 th played many beautiful airs , and the piper of the corps , a splendid young Highlandman , walked the dining-hall , sending forth his mountain strains in sublime style . After all the usual loyal and Masonic toasts , the Brethren broke up about twelve o ' clock , when his Grace and the Grand Lodge quitted the hall , cheered by an assemblage who seemed and knew how to appreciate and to feel the honour done them on this ever-to-be-remembered
. Glasgow Thistle and Rose Lodge , 31 ay 11 . —The anniversary was celebrated in the saloon of the Boot Tavern , Saltmarket-street , when the election of the Office-bearers took place : —John Crauford , the late lt . AV . M ., re-elected ; John Gardner , S . AV . ; John Phillips , J . AV . ; and Robert A . Murdoch , Secretary . The Lodge was visited by the AIasters and Office-bearers of a number of the Glasgow Lodges , who spent a very agreeable and harmonious evening .
Glasgow Kilwinning , No . 4 , June 12 . — This ancient and distinguished Lodge , under the able and enlightened auspices of its present R . AV . M . Brother John Main , has latterly acquired a degree of honour and distinction not surpassed by any sister Lodge in the west of Scotland . Scarcely a week has passed without one or more individuals having come forward desirous of initiation , gentlemen distinguished as much for their talents and attainments as well as for the high and respectable status they hold in society . How much can be effected when the interests of
a Lodge are at the hearts of its members and office-bearers ! It is worthy of mention , too , that in the early part of the past winter the R . AV . M . intimated his intention of giving a series of essays on the origin , progress , and present position of Freemasonry , together with a full explanation of the landmarks of the Order . The series was delivered ably and eloquently , and so successfully , that in the ensuing winter the essays are to be repeated . Great efforts are making to get up a new Lodge -room
for better accommodation , on the plan of a joint-stock . association . It is expected that the construction and beauty of the building will be alike worthy of the Order and the pencil of the artist . Before closing our remarks , we may observe that the Kilwinning No . 4 , is the mother Lodge of Brother Sheriff Alison , the historian of Europe , and who was lately elected Provincial Grand Master for the District of Glasgow , in the room of our respected Bro . Henry Monteith , of Carstairs , who resigned in consequence of his advanced age . Much is anticipated from the known interest and regard held by Brother Alison for the welfare and prosperity of Masonry .
