The Grand Stewards.
for , b y such delay , the members are actually thrown upon the resources of the moment , instead of being fully prepared ; and they are consequently very glatl to be regulated by the proceedings of former hoards , which , if not satisfactory , are thereby continued ; and if proved to have been conducted upon excellent arrangements , may yet be improved upon . We would , however , impress upon the Grand Stewards the necessity of studying the constitution . They will perceive that very important duties devolve upon them , and that some matters connected with the welfare of the Craft depend upon their co-operation . They should bear
in mind that they are GRAXVI OFVIGEKS O \? THE YEAR . AVe know , hy experience , that when they have met regularly , practical good has resulted .

LODGES OF INSTRUCTION .
THE Emulation Lodge of Improvement for Master Masons , held at the Fitzroy Coffee-house , has continued its meetings regularly throughout the summer , and has been very fairly attended . At this we are not surprised , as , in its ranks are enrolled nearly all the principal working Masons .
