A Masonic Hall In Jamaica.
A MASONIC HALL IN JAMAICA .
We take from the Anglo Jamaica Advertiser , the following account of a Bazaar , held at Alontego Bay , in aid of a project for the erection of a Masonic J lall , in that remote quarter of the globe : —
" The W . Master of the Friendly Lodge , No . 3 S 3 , AIontego-Bay , has achieved a success—both in its demonstration and sale of articles—which , we venture to assert , no other man at the present day would have obtained in such a limited space of time . The undertaking was , indeed , a great
and hazardous one , and the amount of success obtained by the hearty response ofthe community at large , and the ladies in particular , must be exceedingly gratifying to the cause of Masonry . One like Air . S . S O . Jacobs , who has endeared himself , to the community in which he lives and
moves and has his being , must obtain that subsidary and substantial aid for which he appealed to them . And though this was at first thought by some as likely to have been a failure , we are glad to find they have been sadly mistaken . " It would have puzzled any one wilh
extraordinary vision to find out where the money came from , that for three consective days the attendance never flagged but continued supeiflousin fact the room was so crowded that no one could walk comfortably from stall to stall without coining in contact with some person or other ,
and there was an amount of business done as would be almost incredible if stated . It is worthy of note that the same friendl y feelin > r which pervaded its opening continued to its close . Harmony and goodwill seems to have been the motto with all concerned , made doubly so by the
lively interest exhibited by the community . Few in the humble position of life which the abovenamed gentleman occupies , would have undertaken such a gigantic task and carried il through , par excellence , as he has succeeded in doingand that in times like the present , while his
predecessors , 11 : more flourishing days , thought aud spoke of the purchase of a lodge roum , but had not the courage to attempt . In point of grandeur its fittings-tip surpassed anything of the kind ever yet placed before the public , and had only to be seen to be admired ; support
following admiration . " It would be impossible to enumerate the amount of articles sent in as presents both from abroad and home . Among them we noticed a highly-finished loo table , tastefully and artistically worked up with different kinds of Jamaica
wood , made and presented by Mr . William Kerr , cabinet-maker and coach-builder of this town , and a member of the Craft , which tedious and masterly work was executed within two weeks , and which was valued at ^ ' , and met ready purchase .
" Success , then , has been achieved in the bazaar , and we sincerely trust the like success may attend the future exertions of this worthy brotherhood , and also that health , prosperity , and a long life of usefulness may continue to follow this large-hearted and much-esteemed gentleman
throughout , that the means to the end may be gaincdTor the purchase of that lodge room , hereafter to be a lasting memento to his present and future brethren , and held as a tribute for ever of his zeal for the Masonic cause , when he , shall have quitted this earthl y tabernacle .
We cannot conclude , however , without according that meed of praise to the lady stall keepers who presided over the several stalls . Too much praise—in fact our pen falls short of language sufficiently adequate to do ample justice to their several merits—cannot be awarded them for their attention towards , and endeavours to please .

every individual who visited their stall , from the elite down to the meanest peasant girl . On the whole they acquitted themselves nobly . Indefatigable in their exertions , polite in their demeanour , agreeable in their manners , and charming in their bewitching smile and appealing look
—a look that would touch the coldest heart , and a smile that would draw the last shilling from any man ' s purse , be he ever such a miser , and who , if he escaped one could not resist the otherthey left not one loop-hole , through which a penny could be gained for the cause they had in hand ,
untouched . Each one threw herself heart and soul into the noble work to raise money , and so these ladies accomplished their arduous task , handing over the proceeds of their sales to the Worshipful Master . Overcome in part by exhaustion , physically and mentally , as well as by
the overpowering efforts of these amiable ladies , silence being obtained , this worthy gentlemen , for whom so much was done , stood up and returned thanks to the inhabitants for their kind co-operation and support , and the lad y stallkeepers , individually and collectively , for the
very kind feeling displayed towards him , and the able manner in which they had acquitted themselves . This was followed by loud cheers , the band playing ' He ' s a jolly good fellow . ' The bazaar was then closed . Public auction of ofthe few remaiiiinsr articles followed the next
day . " The amateur band was in attendance each evening , and discoursed some very pleasant music . " We learn that the next matter on the Master ' s Trestle Board , during his term of
ollice , to expire in December next , will be the consecration of the New Lodge Room to be afterwards named ' Riponville , ' and the laying of a memorial stone , so soon as the same shall be sanctioned by the Alost Worshipful the Grand Alaster of England . "
BRO . AND ll . uiAMii I ' KANK EI . MORK ' CONCERT . — Frank Elmore , well known in connexion with many City companies' and masonic banquets gave , in conjunction with Madame Streinbtirg-Ehnore , a grand concert at St . James ' s Hall on Wednesday week . The programme was a
most select one , and was carried out to a successful issue by some of our most popular artistes , amongst whom were Aliss Edith Wynne , who admirably sang Clay ' s song , " She Wandered down the Mountain Side , " and was encored ; Madame Osborne Williams : Mdlles .
Girardi and Victoria Bunsen ; Madame Thaddeus Wells , Signor Caravoglio , and Bro . Frank Elmore himself were the vocalists . For instrumentalists , Air . F . Chalterton played his " Remembrances of Italy , " on the harp , and Mr . Richard Blagrove his concertina fantasias with
their well-known effect ; and a young lady ( Miss Sanders ) , a pianoforte pupil of Madame Elmore ' s , played a theme from Fe Pro / ihete with great power and firmness of touch for one so young ; while Madame Elmore herself contributed to the
applause which to some extent she conduced to by playing some of her exquisite solos . The humorous trio , " I ' m Not the Queen , " sang by Mesdames Wells and Williams and Mr . Elmore , concluded a most successful entertainment . The
accompanists of the evening were Signor Mazzoni ; Messrs . Alan , IL Parker , Ganz , Osborne Williams , and W . Carter . Air . Michael James Whitty , formerly proprietor of the . Liverpool Duiti / J ' osl , was seized with paralysis at eleven o ' clock , Tuesday morning , and died at live p . m ., without having recovered consciousness . He was in his 79 th
year . Coming as it does in thc very height of the season , the Ascot race meeting , with its Royal and aristocratic patronage , fairly over-shadows , for the beauty of its accessories , all similar assemblages in any part of Europe . This year the toilettes of the lady visitors have been more
bewilderingly beautifiul than on any previous anniversaries , and Mr . A . Ahlborn of Regent-st . who now takes foremost rank for the beauty and taste of his costumes , had the satisfaction of designing several for leading members of the aristocracy , which were the observed of all observers on the " Stakes" day .
