Masonic Notes .

The Provincial Grand Lodge of Cheshire will meet at Congleton on Wednesday , September 21 st . The Right Hon . Lord Egerton of Tatton , Prov . G . M ., will preside on the occasion . * * *

The centenary meeting will be held at Stockport , on September 14 th , in connection svith the Unanimity Loelge , No . 28 7 , of svhich Bro . Henry Smith is W . M . The Prov . Grand Master , Bro . Lord Egerton of Tatton , will be present on the occasion . We anticipate a most successful event .

Masonic Notes.

We are pleased to announce that Lord Brooke , R . W . P . G . M . of Essex , has kindly consented to take the chair at the 95 th Annual Festival of the Royal Masonic Institution for Boys in 1893 . * * *

At the meeting of the Boys' School Committee on Monday last a vote of thanks svas unanimously passed to Bro . S . J . Attenborough for the valuable legal services he had rendered , and the position of honorary solicitor to the Institsstion was conferred upon him .

The Institution is to be congratulated on the result of the efforts of the Secretary , who has , after a lengthy correspondence with the Commissioners of Inland Revenue , extending over many months , succeeded in clearing the Institution from the charge of Income Tax and Inhabited House Duty , svhich had

been paid for many years past . The amount returned for three years to April , 1891 , svas ^ 270 , an allowance of about ^ 90 being made for 1892 , and the claim for that sum being waived in future years . Great credit is due to Bro . McLeod for so perseveringly following up this matter . * * *

The Committee of Management of the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution have done a graceful act in electing Bro . J ames E . Terry an honorary Vice-President svith the rights and privileges pertaining thereto . Bro . James E . Terry very generously declined

to make any charge when investing money in the purchase of some , £ 50 , 000 stock in behalf of the Institution , and the compliment svhich the Committee has paid him is a very appropriate recognition of Bro . Terry's goodwill . We trust he may live to enjoy his new privileges for many years .

» » * It was an exceedingly pertinent remark which Bro . the Earl of Jersey , Governor of New South Wales , made the other day on the occasion of his visit to the Australian Irrigation Settlements in the neighbouring Colonies of Victoria and South Australia . Apropos of the question of federation , his lordship observed that

if the tie which existed among Masons was able to reconcile into harmony the divergent creeds and beliefs of men all over the earth , the federal sentiment should be strong enough to bring together the people of one country—people who had almost everything in common . The inference is a just one , and we hope it will be realised , » * *

We prefer Bro . Gillon , Past D . G . Master under the New Zealand Constitution to the New Zealand Mail as a " guide , philosopher , and friend . " The latter has " London Freemason " on the brain , and on the principle " when you have no case , abuse your opponent ' s attorney , " whenever it has nothing to say and is at

a loss how to say it , it takes to sneering at or abusing this journal . But sneers and gibes are not arguments , and if only it can prove we are svrong , we shall without hesitation at once cry " peccavimus . " However , we are not alone in this matter , and the Nevi Zealand Mail having dubbed us a " too fashionable journal , " and told us in tolerably plain terms that our opinions on New Zealand

Freemasonry are misleading , has a quiet dig at the brethren in the Colony who still hold aloof from the nesvly-installed Grand Lodge , and . tells them roundly that their position is " absurd and untenable , " that their lodges are " short-sighted" and " a long way behind the times , " and that it is useless for them any longer " to bite their fingers " over the present state of Masonry in New Zealand .

* * * On the other hand Bro . Gillon in the address at the installation of Bro . Malcolm Niccol , to which we referred last week , appears to be doing * all in his power to establish a healthy feeling betsveen those of his own Masonic persuasion and the adherents of the old

regime , and is anxiously looking forward to the time when the whole body of New Zealand Masons will be ranged under one banner . We leave it to our readers to decide which method of procedure is the likeliest to bring about a solution of the present controversy , the gibes of our contemporary , or the kindness and courtesy of Bro . Gillon .

* * We have read with very great pleasure the report of the proceedings of the District Grand Lodgeof Bengal at its Quarterly Communication held at Freemasons ' Hall , Calcutta , on the 21 st March last . The evidence it contains , that the Craft is in the enjoyment of a fair

degree of prosperity , is strong . There are on the roll of the District Grand Lodge some 35 lodges , but of these five , unfortunately , are in abeyance . But the remaining 30 are in excellent form , and have been doing good sound svork during the past 12 months , and well maintaining , but without substantial increase , their numerical strength . There is also—or we should say
