M ., in proposing "The Sister lodge ' s , " referred to the unanimity which existed amongst the lodges of the town , which was amply illustrated by

the large number of visiting brethren who invariably honoured them with their presence at the festive board / Hear , hear . ) There never had been better feeling and perfect unanimity than existed at the present time . ( Hear , '' T r ' os . J . MACKIELL , W . M . 2134 , and M . C . PECK , P , M . and Secretary 250 , briefly acknowledged the

The Senior Warden , Bro . R . J . MCLEAVY , proposed "The Visiting Brethren . " He said , speaking personally , he felt greatly indebted to the brethren of the sister lodges for the kindly consideration they had at all times extended to the mother lodge of Hull . That evening no less than 2 e visitors were with them , which spoke well for the good hear After humorous

feeling which prevailed . ( Hear , . ) references to the characteristics of the various brethren who were associated with the toast , the good health of the visitors was drunk with acclamation . Bro . R . HAWLEY , J . W . 250 , in acknowledging the toast , stated he was exceedingly gratified with the kindly reception he had received . He congratulated the W . M . on the

fact of having received a handsome addition to the library from the family of the late Bro . Dr . Bell , and concluded by wishing the lodge continued prosperity . ( Applause . ) Bro . J . CARLILL S AVILL , Secretary IOIO , also responded . He stated he was pleased to have been called upon to respond for two special reasons . First , because it was the first occasion he had had the opportunity of personally

returning his thanks , although he had previously paid them several official visits ; and secondly , because of the honour and privilege he felt in addressing the brethren of the lodge in which a very dear relative of his had been initiated some years ago . He ( Bro . Carlill Savill ) congratulated the VV . M . on presiding at such an auspicious gathering , and he ventured to predict that in future years he would look

back with considerable pleasure to his terrn of office , nor would the sight of that magnificent picture just presented to the lodge , lessen the pardonable pride which he must naturally feel in filling the chair . ( Applause . ) To his friend and brother , the S . W ., he was already deeply indebted , and by the kindly sentiments he had uttered respecting himself that night , he ( Bro . Savill ) felt his

obligations were greatly increased . However , he thanked one and all heartily and sincetely for the truly Masonic greeting he and all the visitors had received . ( Cheers . ) "The Masonic Charities , " and "The Absent Brethren , especially those at Sea , " were subsequently honoured . During the evening some capital recitations and songs

were rendered by various brethren , under the direction of Bro . J . R . Stringer , the talented Organist . We have no doubt the proceedings will be considered as having added another red-letter day in the annals of the history of the good old Humber Lodge , No . 57 , on the roll of the Grand Lodge of England .

Bro . A . Leon Emanuel has had the honour of submitting the two hundred guineas Salisbury Race Cup , manufactured by his firm , to H . R . H . the Prince of Wales at Maclb Tough House . The Queen held her first Drawing Room of the Jubilee season at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday , when the presentations , numbering about 500 , far exceeded those

at any previous function of its kind during her reign . The weather , too , was genuine Queen's weather , and consequently the Mall and Constitution-hill , and the parts adjoining the palace were thronged with sightseers , who noted with interest the splendid equipages which , in almost endless succession , kept on setting down the fair ladies who had come to pay homage to their Sovereign . The Royal , diplomatic , and general circles were fully attended , among

those present being the Prince and Princess of Wales , with the Crown Prince ot Denmark , Grand Master of Masons in Denmark , and Bro . Lord Suffield , in attendance on their Royal Highnesses ; and Bros , the Earl of Mount Edgcumbe ( Lord Steward ) , the Earl of Lathom ( Lord Chamberlain ) , the Duke of Portland ( Master of the Horse ) , Lord A . Hill , M . P . ( Comptroller of the Household ) , and Lord Alfred Paget ( Clerk Marshal ) .

Bro . J . W . Boughton , the proprietor of the Theatre Royal , Portsmouth , has given another striking proof of his liberality and public spirit , for , in forwarding 1 ? the Mayor of that town a donation of five guineas in ^> d of the Jubilee Fund , for the hospital , Bro . Boughton nas intimated that dining the Jubilee week he will devote the whole of the proceeds of one night ' s entertainment at

the theatre to the same fund .

The business will include the consideration of the annual report of the Committee of Management , and the election of nine men from a list of 51 candidates and 28 widows from a list of 77 candidates

—the three deferred annuitants being included in each case . Considering , however , the grand success which attended the Festival in February , there is cause to hope that the brethren may sanction a further addition to the annuitants " We are pleased to note that Bro . P . de Lande Long , P . G D ., has been elected out of a list of nearly a

hundred candidates , to the important post of Solicitor of the Foundling Hospital . Bro .

W . C . We noticed last week the magnificent supper in honour of a new brand of champagne given by Messrs . Leatham and Cator , of Whitehorse-street . The proper name of the wine in question is Creme d'Or , and we are not surprised to hear that during the past fortnight its owners have been selling large quantities of this famous

vintage . Some of our readers may have noticed that , last week in recording that Bro . Sir Francis Burdett , Bart ., had moved to his house , at Richmond , from his seat in Derbyshire , we described our respected brother as " Prov . G . Master of Derbyshire . " They will , of course , hardly need to be told that we meant to describe him as " Prov . G . Master of Middlesex . "

Bro . Fred . McColl Chambers , of No . 163 S , announces a grand smoking concert at the Falstaff , Eastcheap , on Wednesday , the iSth inst . The justly celebrated Bro . E . W . ' Mackney , Mr .

The Chaucer Lodge of Instruction—No . 1540—supper , held at the White Hart , passed off well on Thursday evening , the 2 ist ult . Bro . J . Robins , P . M . 25 , was in the chair . All the brethren present thoroughly enjoyed themselves . The recitations and songs were exceedingly good . Want of space this week prevents us from giving a better account .

Stephen ' s School , Shepherd ' s Bush , with the assistance of a few of their friends , gave a concert at the Athenaeum , Godolphin-road , on Tuesday . There was a numerous audience , and the programme , which was of a varied character and well chosen , was carried out

mostsuccessfully . The boys who took part in the entertainment , and most of whom are members of the church choir , sang several part songs correctly and tastefully , the Misses L . Close , R . Brooking , and Cove were justly applauded for their several contributions ; and Mr . Tom Reynolds , who gave a brace of humorous songs , was in each case rewarded with a hearty encore . In the interval between the

parts a team of youngsters , captained by Cecil Freeman , and including Cecil Hartley Abbott , a younger son of Bro . G . B . Abbott , gave a display of their gymnastic prowess on the parallel bars and with the dumb bells , and showed , by the neatness and precision with which they went through their various exercises , that they must have profited greatly by the advice of their mentors—the Rev . Messrs . bentley

and Ramsay , curates of St . Stephen ' s , and Mr . Tampin . Mr . Pomeroy , under whose head mastership the school has established for itself a sound reputation , is to be congratulated on the success of the gathering .

sound health . The enormous demand for these Pills throughout the globe astonishes everybody , and a single trial convinces the most sceptical that no mrdicine equals Holloway ' s Pirls in its ability to remove all complaints incidental to the human race . They are a blessing to the afflicted , and a boon to all that labour under inter . ial or external disease . The purification of the blood , removal of all restraint from the secretive organs , ami gentle aperitive action are the prolific sources of the extensive curative range of Holloway's Pills . —ADVT ,

Masonic And General Tidings

The Derby Allcroft Lodge , No . 2168 , whose permanent quarters are located at the Athenjeum , Camdenroad , propose temporarily migrating therefrom on Thursday next , the 19 th inst ., and holding a special banquet at the Holborn Restaurant in celebration of her Majesty ' s Jubilee , and also for the purpose of inaugurating a lodge Benevolent Fund . We hear that a goodly number of

Masonic celebrities are expected thereat , and that the meeting will be presided over by the W . M ., Bra . John Derby Allcroft , Past Grand Treasurer . THE AMERICAN EXHIBITION . — This great enterprise on the part of our American cousins was successfully inaugurated on Monday , when a vast concourse of visitors assembled to take part in the proceedings . A solemn invocation by Archdeacon Farrar , orations by the

director and president , the singing of patriotic English and American songs , and the presence of distinguished ecclesiastics , senators , and men of mark in different ranks of life , combined to place it at once on a par with the best of its predecessors . Buffalo Bill and his picturesque troupe of Indians , Mexicans , and Cowboys , although nominally a secondary part of the show , will , however , we venture to think , be the real attraction .

Bro . Sir E . Clarke , Q . C , M . P ., H . M . ' s Solicitor-General , presided at the anniversary Festival , held at the Albion Tavern , Aldersgate-street , on Tuesday , of the Royal Hospital for Incurables . The Chairman in his eloquent appeal for support , mentioned that it was intended to elect this year forty instead of twenty-five candidates in commemoration of the Queen's Jubilee , and referred in

handsome terms to the munificent help given by Bro . J . Derby Allcroft , Past G . Treasurer , who is Treasurer of the Institution , and who , at his own cost , had kept the St . Leonard ' s home open for one year . Subscriptions amounting to £ 4282 were announced in the course of the evening . Miss Amy Roselle ( Mrs . Arthur Dacre ) will start on a Starring Tour in the Provinces early in Autumn .

Prior to her departure , she is , says the Era , " for the first time in her artistically brilliant stage career to have a Grand Complimentary Benefit , tendered her by her brother and sister artistes as a token of their esteem . That this will prove enormously successful will readily be believed when we state that the Ladies' Executive Committee will include such eminent representatives of the dramatic profession as Mrs . Kendall , Miss Ellen Terry , Miss Mary

Anderson , Mrs . Stirling , Miss Genevieve Ward , Miss Wallis , Mr . Arthur Stirling , and Mrs . John Wood . A Committee of Gentlemen is also being formed , and has already been joined by Bro . Henry Irving—who has , however , generously offered the use of the Lyceum Theatre for the occasion . The Hon . Secretaries in connection with this benefit are Messrs . Brandon Thomas and Maurice de Verney . "
