Masonic Notes.

Masonic Notes .

We remind our readers that the Quarterly General Court of the Royal Masonic Institution for Girls will be held at Freemasons' Tavern on Saturday , the 26 th instant . The only business of moment to be transacted is the election of nine children from an approved list of 49 , and the poll will close at 3 p . m .

* * * The Marquis of Hertford had a great reception at Belfast last week on the occasion of his being installed as Prov . Grand Master of Antrim . The ceremony took place at the Exhibition Hall of the Botanic Gardens .

A banquet was held afterwards , and the Grand Master of Ireland , the Duke of Abercorn , presided at both meetings . Representatives were present from the Provincial Grand Lodges of Derry , Tyrone , Fermanagh , and Donegal . We regret our space does not

permit of the speeches at the dinner being reported as well as the proceedings in the lodge , as they were all to the purpose , and the new Prov . Grand Master was particularly happy in responding to the toast of his health , proposed by the Duke of Abercorn .

* * * The deep love and reverence in which Bro . Dr . Smyth , Past Grand Chaplain of England , is held in the estimation of the brethren of West Yorkshire , was again evinced on the 12 th instant at the regular meeting of

Lodge Prudence , No . 206 9 , of which he is a founder and P . M . He had consented to read a paper , giving some account of his personal knowledge of the Indian Mutiny , through which he served as chaplain to the forces . As soon as this became known , brethren from

all parts of the province made an effort to be present , and the large lodge room was crowded to its utmost capacity . Amongst those present were several military brethren whose regiment was engaged during the Mutiny , and with whose officers Bro . Dr . Smyth had

made warm friendships during those trying times . The lecturer almost excelled himself in handling this subject , and the only regret felt was that time did not permit of a longer address . * * *

Bro . Charles Middleton , who at this meeting was selected by his brethren to rule over Lodge Prudence for the next year , is in every respect well qualified to carry on the traditions of the lodge . The distinguished P . M . ' s who founded the lodge , have now all in turn

passed through the chair of K . S ., and Bro . Middleton will be the first brother below the dais who has occupied that exalted position . Thanks to his predecessors , he will find all difficulties smoothed away , and

there is every reason to expect that his year of office will be marked by the same success and harmony which has characterised the tenure of office of those who have preceded him . So mote it be .

We understand that a warrant has been granted for a new lodge to be held in Manchester ; that it will be named the Centurion , and that its members will be confined to those who belong to the military profession . Bro . Col . Le Gendre N . Starkie , Prov . Grand Master of East Lancashire , is to be the first Master .

Following the example of the London Scottish Rifles , " the London Irish " is to have a lodge in connection with the Corps . The Hon . Colonel of the regiment , H . R . H . the Duke of Connaught , heads the list of founders , and his name is followed by that of Col .

Ward , Dr . Bigg , Major Carrell , Major Inglis , Major Stewart , Capt . Billinghurst , Capt . Badham , and Lieut . Kirkpatrick . The consecration will take place at Freemasons' Hall on the 16 th proximo . * * *

A correspondent 01 the Fishing Gazette writes to the Editor as follows : " Sir , —I am writing to you , as one who is personally acquainted with many of the best class of fishing men , to ask a question and make a suggestion . Is there a Masonic lodge , the

members of which are all fishermen ? If not , why not ? There are many well-known fishermen who are good Freemasons , and I am sure that a lodge of fishermen ( call it the " Izaak Walton" ) would

be a great success . Country and town members could meet together and sink their disputes as to the relative merits of wet-flies and dry-flies in the good fellowshi p of the Craft . I have neither time nor influence sufficient to take an active part in founding such a lodge ; but I
