Masonic Notes .

It is expected there will be grand doings at the Empire of India Exhibition , Earl's Court , on Wednesday , the 14 th inst ., when , as we announced last week , the Empress Lodge , No . 2581 , will be consecrated . The ceremony will be performed by the Grand

Secretary , and there are rumours abroad as to the attendance of Grand Officers being exceptionally large . The first W . Master is Bro . Alderman Sir ] . C . Dimsdale , P . M . Grand Master ' s Lodge , No . I , Past Grand Treasurer of England .

It has been officially announced that the annual meeting of the Provincial Grand Lodgeof Northumberland will be held in the Grand Assembly Rooms , Newcastle-on-Tyne , on Wednesday , the 30 th inst ., the duty of making the necessary arrangements for the

reception of Provincial Grand Lodge being in charge of the St . John ' s Lodge , No . 1712 . We have no doubt there will be a strong muster of Prov . Grand Oflicers and members , firstly because the business to be transacted will include the consecration of three new

lodges and secondly because the Province has taken so active and prominent ; i part in connection with our Masonic Festivals during the year , and we dare say brethren will gladly avail themselves of the opportunity of learning more particularly what the Province- to which they belong has accomplished in the discharge of its duties and in supporting the Masonic Schools .

Masonic Notes.

The lodges to bo consecrated at the meeting are thc Temperance , No . 2557 ; the Delavel , No . 256 S ; and the Holmes , No . 2571 . These are all located in Newcastle-on-Tyne , and will augment the number of lodges in the Province to 28 , and in Newcastle itself to

15 . Thus in the nine years that have elapsed since the present Provincial Grand Master , Bro . Sir M . White Ridley , Bart ., was installed in office , as many as seven new lodges will have been placed on the roll , and the Province is in this respect just one-third stronger than it was when Bro . Earl Percy resigned . If the same

rate of increase is maintained during the next few years we may look forward to seeing Northumberland not only becoming stronger in respect of members , but likewise to its taking even a more prominent part in the proceedings of Masonry than it has done up to the present time .

The Quarterly General Court of the Governors and Subscribers of the Royal Masonic Institution for Girls was held in Freemasons' Tavern on Thursday , the 10 th instant . The chair was taken promptly at the hour of noon by Bro . Henry Smith , I ' . G . D .. Deputy Prov . Grand Master for West Yorkshire , Patron and

Treasurer of the Institution , and the regular business having been rapidly disposed of , the poll was opened for the election of iS children from the approved list of 34 . The names of the successful girls will be found in our advertisement columns . We shall , however , reserve our remarks as to the result of the polling till next week .

* * The Quarterly General Court of the Governors and Subscribers of the Royal Masonic Institution for Boys will be held in the same place and at the same hour , today ( Friday ) , when 17 boys will be elected by ballot

from the approved list of 46 candidates . As it is not impossible and unquestionably not improbable that these " Notes" will be in the hands of our readers before the poll closes at 3 p . m ., we renew the appeal we have before addressed to Governors and Subscribers whose

votes and influence are not already promised in behalf of the five boys whose names will be removed from thu list if they fail to win success at this ballot . The five in question -figure on the list as Nos . 3 , 7 , y , and iy , all hailing from London , and No . 26 from Gloucestershire .

The annual meeting of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Mark Master Masons of Worcestershire was held in the Masonic Hall , Worcester , on Wednesday , the oth inst ,, under the presidency of Bro . A . F . Godson ,

M . P ., Prov . Grand Master . The business included the delivery of an address on Mark Masonry by Bro . the Rev . J . W . Down , Prov . Grand Chaplain , and the appointment and investiture of Prov . Grand Ollicers .

With its September number the Freeiiinsoiis' Repository , which is published in Providence , Rhode Island , and is the organ of the Craft in the jurisdiction uf the Grand Lodge of Rhode Island , completed its 24 th volume . During 20 years of this period Bro . the Rev .

Henry W . Rugg has been in charge as Editor , and under his guidance the Repository has proved itself an able exponent of the various Masonic questions whicli have come under public discussion , a loyal supporter of Craft interests , and a courteously-conducted and

readable journal . None indeed will dream of denying the claims of our Rhode Island contemporary to be regarded as a " well-printed , attractively-illustrated , and carefully-edited Craft publication , " and we sincerely trust it may meet with a large measure of

support in the future—a support which shall be worthy of its high character as a Masonic journal—than we are told it has received in the past . We cordially congratulate the Repository on the excellent position it has attained among the Masonic periodicals of the United States ol North America .

We regret to learn from our American exchanges that Bro . John Hodge , Past Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of New York , died with painful suddenness on the 7 th August last . Bro . Hodge was seated at dinner , when he suddenly sank to the floor and expired . Our

deeeased brother was extremely popular with all classes of brethren in the City and State of New York . He was elected Grand Master at the annual meeting of his Grand Lodge in June , 10 Y-4 , and during his year of office had shown conspicuous ability and devotion to

the interests of our Order . Indeed , seeing that lie had vacated his office only some two months previous to his decease , the services he had rendered were still very fresh in the recollection of New York brethren , to whom as to the family and friends of their I . P . G . Master , we offer our most respectful sympathy .
