gift to Brother Donaldson , who made an eloquent and effective reply . The various costly and handsome articles which composed the Testimonial , were manufactured by Brother Alex . Hay , Jeweller to thc Grand Lodge of Scotland . Thc proceedings being terminated , the lodge was closed according to Masonic ceremonial .

On Tuesday last , the Provincial Grand Lodge of Derbyshire Freemasons was held in the Assemblyrooms , Derby , under the presidency of Bro . H . C .

Okeover , as A . P . G . M ., Bro . J . Crossley officiating as D . P . G . M . There was an unusually large attendance of members of the Craft from various parts of thc province . The Provincial Grand Lodge was opened in ample form at two p . m ., prayer being

offered by Bro . the Rev . A . A . Bagshawe , Vicar of Wormhill , Buxton , R . D ., Provincial Grand Chap-Iain . The minutes ofthe Provincial Grand Lodges held in September , 1871 , and February , 1 S 72 , were confirmed . The P . G . Secretary also read letters he

had received in answer to congratulatory addresses that had been sent to thc Queen and the Prince and Princess of Wales on thc recovery of Bro . H . R . H . the Prince of Wales . A characteristic letter was also read which had been received from Chicago ,

acknowledging with gratitude the subscriptions received from the Derbyshire brethren for thc relief of brethren in that city who had suffered by thc great fire last year . The next business was to receive the annual reports of worshipful masters of

lodges . These were of a most interesting and gratifying character , and elicited some well-timed remarks from Bro . Okeover , upon the steady progress masonry was making throughout the province of Derbyshire . —Bro . J . Smith , P . G . S . D ., read the

report of the Masonic Ball Committee , of which he is chairman , vvhich was eventually adopted , after a long and animated discussion , in vvhich Bros . C . R . Colvile , Waite , C . F . Roe , I-I . Casson , T . Cox , J . Crosslcv , T . Hall , H . Hillam , G . T . Wright , A .

Bagshawe , R . Darwin , Foulds , and others took part . It vvas stated that the Masonic Hall Committee intended to call in the subscriptions promised and get the foundation slon-i laid as quickly as possible . The site is at the corner of Gower-street ,

Green-hill . —After Bro . T . Cox had been re-elected Prov . Grand Treasurer and Treasurer of the Masonic Hali Committee , Bro . Colvile alluded to thc valued and gratuitous services rendered to the Hall Committee , b y . 'Bro . John Gadsby , P . P . G . S . W .,

and moved a vote of thanks to him , which was carried vvith considerable applause . Bro . Colvile expressed his deep regret at the absence of Bro . Gadsby that day , and expressed a hope that he would again take an active part in the furtherance

of freemasonry . — Ihe A . P . G . M . then proceeded to appoint thc following as his grand officers for the ensuing year . * — Brothers William Naylor . P . S . G . W . ; J . Smith , P . J . G . W . ; A . A . Bagshawe , P . G . Chaplain ; Hazlehurst , P . G . R . ; W . II .

Stewards—Bros . Welborne , Hirsch , Bennett , Dusautoy , Headland , and Ratclilf . — By permission of Bro . Okeover , Bro . Binckes , Secretary of the Boys' School , Woodgreen , London , addressed the brethren upon the subject ofthe Masonic Charities , and expressed the

gratitude of the Committee of that noble Institution for the handsome support they had received from the province of Derbyshire . —The remaining business having been disposed of , the Provincial Grand Lodge was closed in form , and with solemn praver , after an unusually protracted silting .

The brethren then adjourned to the St . James ' s Hotel , where an excellent dinner was provided by Bro . Plock in thc large hall . Bro . Okeover , A . P . G . M ., presided during dinner , but as he had to leave by an early train , Bro . Colvile , P . D . P . G . M .,

was unanimously called upon to preside , and it is scarcely necessary to state that under his genial presidency n most thoroughly enjoyable evening was spent . Eighty brethren sat down to dinner .

The repast over , the room was tyled , and Bro . Colvile gave the usual Masonic Toasts , which were duly honoured , Bro . Dodd presiding at the Organ . In the course of the evening Bro . J . Crossley , P . P . G . S . W ., proposed t tbe health of Bro . Colvile ,

Provincial Grand Lodge Of Derbyshire.

Past Deputy Prov . Grand Master , in an excellent speech , in which he reviewed the long connection of Bro . Colvile with the Craft in Derbyshire , the interest hc took in the promotion of Freemasonry , the high estimation in which he was held by

the brethren , the p learure it gave them to see him . again amongst them in such excellent health , and the hope that it might please the G . A . O . T . U . long to spare him to aid them with his council and advice . — Bro . Colvile replied in a telling address , -ia which he alluded to the invariable kindness he had

always received at their hands . He began to feel himself a very old Freemason , for it was in the year 1830 that he donned the Entered Apprentice's apron . ( Hear , hear . ) What progress masonry had made in Derbyshire since that time ! Then there were only two lodges in the province , although

mysterious rumours went about to the effect that there was one in existence in the remote part of the Peak of Derbyshire . There were no railways in those days , so the few brethren then at Derby chartered a couple of chaises to go and try to find out where this lodge existed . ( Laughter . ) How

different to-day when no fewer than sixteen masters of lodges in the province advanced to the pedestal and read those interesting reports which delighted them all , as showing the rapid advance of masonry ancl the great interest that was being taken in its promotion ! Bro . Colvile concluded by urging

upon thc brethren to be careful to preserve the ancient landmarks of thc craft , and resumed his seat amidst loud cheers . —Other toasts followed , and Bro . Binckes made an appeal on behalf of the boys' school . — The Tyler ' s Toast brought the proceedings to a close .
