Masonic Notes .

The Quarterly Communication of Grand Lodge on Wednesday was but thinly attended compared with recent meetings . The interest of the proceedings centered in Bro . Eve ' s appeal against the rejection of a portion of a notice of motion by the Acting Chairman of the General Committee previous to the last Quarterly Communication . Bro , Eve presented the case

in his usual clear and lucid manner , and although his cr n ' ention was disputed by Bro . James Brett , who had presided on the occasion in ejuestion , and by Bro . G . R . Langley , who was present , Bro . Eve unmistakably carried Grand Lodge with him , and the result , on a vote being taken , was a large majority in favour of his appeal .

There was much to be said in favour of the suggestion of the President of the Board of General Purposes , that the question should stand over until the next Communication of Grand Lodge , to enable the Grand Registrar , under whose advice it appeared the

General Committee had acted , to be present , but it was contended by Bro . Eve , and with some reason , that ample notice had been given , and that it was through no fault of his that the legal advisers of Grand Lodge were not present to justify their action and to support the decision ot the Committee .

Masonic Notes.

Bro . Eve , in the course of . his observations , complained that his appeal was not fully set forth in the agenda paper , and was treated with the greatest amount of cold water altogether ; a remark which we think was quite uncalled for , as he must have known

that it has never been the practice to set out fully in the agenda paper the particulars of appeals . To do so would be creating a very inconvenient precedent , as in the majority of cases the particulars are very diffuse and voluminous .

* * We feel sure that we are voicing the desire of every member of Grand Lodge in expressing a hope that some modus vivandi will shortly be found out of this wretched controversy , so that the time of Grand Lodge shall not be occupied , to the exclusion of more pressing business , in discussing a question which few of the members care for and fewer still understand . That

some one has blundered is patent to all , but whether the false step was first taken at home or abroad it is surely not beyond the power of the men of " light anel leading " to devise some method of extrication from the present dead lock .

* It appears from the report of the Colonial Board , which was presented at the meeting , that the District Grand Lodge of Wellington , New Zealand , has taken action with reference to those of its lodges which have seceded and joined the " so called Grand Lodge of , New

Zealand , " and under the authority delegated to it by Article 106 of the Book of Constitutions , has caused all such lodges to be erased from the roll of United Grand Lodge of England . The number of these lodges is 12 , and , as the District Grand Lodge in ques . tion , before the secession , numbered 19 lodges , there

remain seven that prefer the old order of things to the new and unrecognised Order which was started a few years since to the detriment of Freemasonry both in the Colony and generally . We trust the other District Grand Lodges in New Zealand which may not have taken this step , will do so at an early date , so that we may know precisely how we stand in New Zealand .

» * » The lodges for which his Royal Highness the M . W . Grand Master has been pleased to grant warrants of constitution since the Quarterl y ^ Communication of Grand Lodge in June last are 12 . in number , of which two are located in London , six in the Provinces , and

four abroad . The London two , as is the rule now-adays , are of a special character , one being named the Train-bands Lodge , No . 2524 , and intended for members of the City of London Militia , while the other is styled the Lancastrian Lodge , No . 2528 , and is intended to serve as a London . Masonic home for Lancashire brethren . The six Provincial lodges have

been added to the respective rolls of Kent , Lancashire ( E . D , ) , Lancashire ( W . D . ) , Middlesex , Northumberland , and Surrey . The four abroad are located in Bombay , Burmah , Jamaica , and the Orange Free State , South Africa . We trust the new lodges may prove valuable additions to the strength and influence of English Freemasonry . * * *

We were gratified at seeing Bro . J . Ross Robertson , Past Grand Master , and Present Grand Z . of Canada , present as a visitor at Grand Lodge on Wednesday , On the last occasion of his visit he was received with

the honour due to his exalted Masonic rank , and cr eated a marked impression by an able speech which he then delivered , his voice was not heard on this occasion , but his presence was no less welcome to the members of Grand Lodge .

# # # The business appointed for transaction at the Quarterly Communication of the Grand Lodge of Mark Master Masons of England and Wales was of the most formal character , while the report of the General Board was briefer than usual and contained fewer items of

general interest . It seems that no warrants for new lodges have been issued during the past quarter , but 348 Mark and 42 Royal Ark Mariner certificates were granted . Bros , the Hon . W . T . Orde-Powlett ( North and East Yorks ) , and R . V . Vassar-Smith ( Gloucestershire and Herefordshire ) , having completed

their period of three years of service as Prov . G . Mark Masters , have been re-appointed to oflice , while the old District Grand Lodge of Bengal has been sub-divided into the District Grand Lodge of Bengal , with Bro . the Hon . Sir John Edge , Q . C , as District Grand

Master , vice Bro . H . H . the Maharajah of Kuch Behar , whose term of oflice had expired ; and the District Grand Lodge of the Punjab with Bro . E . W . Parker as its first District Grand Master . We have no doubt the ; change will prove beneficial .
