Masonic Notes .

Bro . the Ri ght Hon , \ V . L . Jackson , M . P ., had an easy but a pleasant task to fulfil at the recent halfyearly meeting of his Prov . Grand Lodge . Freemasonry has prospered so abundantl y in West York > shire that as to the condition of the lodges under hia rule and the work they are doing , there was nothing but

well-merited praise for him to bestow . Again , as to the support which tbe Province habitually gives to our Masonic Institutions , there was no great need for him to lay much stress upon that . Yet he gladly availed himself of the opportunity afforded by the meeting of thanking them for their

He also referred in terms of just encomium to the existence of a Central Masonic Library in the Province , and thc services rendered by Bro . W . Watson , and other members in behalf of Masonic literature . These and
