The Masonic Demonstration At The Preston Guild.
THE MASONIC DEMONSTRATION AT THE PRESTON GUILD .
Last week we gave an account of the Masonic ceremonial in connection with laying the foundation-stone of the Harris Free Library and Museum , at Preston , as part of the Guild Festival , and it may be well to supplement it with names and facts in connection with a gathering of our
brethren which has certainty had no parallel in the memory of even the oldest Mason . As the Earl of t . athom is the head of the Craft in this important division of the province of Lancashire , nothing vvas left undone on the part of the Masons to make the ceremony worthy of the Guilds , of their chief , and of their Order . A special Masonic train left Liverpool at an early hour , and it vvas estimated that
during the day there were no fewer than 2000 members of this important body in the ancient city . This is the greatest gathering of the Craft that has ever taken place in the province . The brethren of West Lancashire were , by command of the P . G . M ., invited to assist at the ceremony of laying the foundation-stone of the Harris Free Library and Museum , and the large attendance showed how high is the
esteem in which Lord Lathoni is held . The readiness of the response to his lordship's command also showed the deep interest felt in a celebration which will always be historically identified with Freemasonry . The Especial Provincial Grand Lodge was opened at the Town Hall , by Bro . the Right Hon . the Earl of Lathoin , VAV . D . G . M . of Eng ., R . W . P . G . M . of W . Lane , who
took his position in Prov . Grand Lodge , and amongst those present were Bros . Colonel Stanley , W . D . G . M . j C . T . Beswicke-Royds , P . S . G . W . ; VV . Ashley Clayton . P . J . G .

formed , the route taken being by way of Fishergate , Lunestreet , and Ftiargate , to the Market-place .

THE NEW MASONIC SCHOOL , MERRION ROAD , DUBLIN . The first official act in connection with the new Masonic school was consummated on the 29 th ult ., in the Masonic School building on the Rock-road , and the business of the institution will henceforth be carried on with wreater impetus and wider scope in its new home .
Appropriately enough , the Education Committee was the first to meet within the walls , under the presidency of Lord justice Fitzgibbon , and they discharged the duty of assigning nine fresh pupils to such departments of the school as best suited their years and training . These latest arrivals raise the total number of pupils from thirty-six , the largest number which could be accommodated in Burlington-road , to
forty-two—a number far from exhausting the capacity of the present building . The children have been now all transferred to Men ion-road , and it is positively refreshing to witness the wonder and delight they exhibit at the beauty and novelty and size of the'building , as well as at the character and convenience of all the arrangements made for the comfort and instruction of their young lives . Nor are
they alone in the admiration of the structure , whether from an external or internal point of view . The school is certainly one of the handsomest institutions in or about the city , and the visitor , no matter what his experience , must be struck at first sight with its proportions and massiveness , blended as they are with a gracefulness of outline and softnr-ss ; nf detail which eouallv beautify the building and
please the eye . This happy effect is further enhanced by the natural rurroundings of the place . The health artistic as well as the health material has been well considered in the selection of the locale for the children ' s home . The site is a most judicious one . Within easy distance of the city , it has all the advantages of rustic life and of marine the
associations . From the upper windows of the building pupils can command not alone a splendid view of Dublin Bay , with its wide sweep of waters , but likewise an ample range of the Dublin mountains , " with gentle slopes and graves between . " On one side lies the city , with its varied spires , and towers , and domeu , half concealed , as it vvas yesterday , in a gossamer-like veil , woven of heat and dis-

THE NEW MASONIC SCHOOL , MERRION ROAD , DUBLIN . The first official act in connection with the new Masonic school was consummated on the 29 th ult ., in the Masonic School building on the Rock-road , and the business of the institution will henceforth be carried on with wreater impetus and wider scope in its new home .
Appropriately enough , the Education Committee was the first to meet within the walls , under the presidency of Lord justice Fitzgibbon , and they discharged the duty of assigning nine fresh pupils to such departments of the school as best suited their years and training . These latest arrivals raise the total number of pupils from thirty-six , the largest number which could be accommodated in Burlington-road , to
forty-two—a number far from exhausting the capacity of the present building . The children have been now all transferred to Men ion-road , and it is positively refreshing to witness the wonder and delight they exhibit at the beauty and novelty and size of the'building , as well as at the character and convenience of all the arrangements made for the comfort and instruction of their young lives . Nor are
they alone in the admiration of the structure , whether from an external or internal point of view . The school is certainly one of the handsomest institutions in or about the city , and the visitor , no matter what his experience , must be struck at first sight with its proportions and massiveness , blended as they are with a gracefulness of outline and softnr-ss ; nf detail which eouallv beautify the building and
please the eye . This happy effect is further enhanced by the natural rurroundings of the place . The health artistic as well as the health material has been well considered in the selection of the locale for the children ' s home . The site is a most judicious one . Within easy distance of the city , it has all the advantages of rustic life and of marine the
associations . From the upper windows of the building pupils can command not alone a splendid view of Dublin Bay , with its wide sweep of waters , but likewise an ample range of the Dublin mountains , " with gentle slopes and graves between . " On one side lies the city , with its varied spires , and towers , and domeu , half concealed , as it vvas yesterday , in a gossamer-like veil , woven of heat and dis-
