TO THE EDITOR .
SIR AND BROTHER , —In reference to the question of your correspondent , a Past Master , regarding Masonic clothing and insignia , I beg to inform you that the regulation of the Grand Lodge of Ireland is , that no Mason shall wear a ribbon of any colour except sky-blue in a Lodge of Craft Masonry . But in consequence of there being no law on this subject in the Ahiman llezon , very great irregularity has prevailed in the practice of country Masons , of which I believe the
members of the Grand Lod ge were not much aware until lately . I understand that a new edition of the Laws and Constitutions , which is now in preparation , and will speedily appear , will contain a precise regulation regarding the clothing , & c , of Masons in the three first degrees . 1 take the opportunity of observing , that if your remark in a note in p . 334 , refers to the Grand Lodge Officers , you are in error in stating that they wear green collars ; sky-blue is the colour worn by the Grand Officers of Ireland
, which is alleged by Irish Masons to be the original Grand Lodge colour in England also , the garter blue having been introduced at a late period . On this last remark I do not profess to be accuratel y informed , but of the practice of the Grand Lod ge of Ireland I am certain , being myself a Grand Officer .

The word , however , I contend to he good and of classical ori gin . Masons know very well , that it is used as descriptive of those unlawful listeners whom , it is the duty of the Tyler to keep off from our ceremonies ; and
