A new pianist has recently made her appearance in London , Miss Nellie Carpenter , daughter of Bro . C . F . Carpenter of New York , and the amount of success she has achieved must be extremely gratifying . It is only a short time ago that she played at a soiree given hy Lady
Molesworth , at which the Prince and Princess of Wales were present , and their Royal Highnesses cordially congratulated the young lady on the excellence of her performance .

I he annual meeting of the Prov .

The brethren will attend Divine service in St . George ' s Church , and th usual banquet will take place afterwards at the New Falcon Hotel . The occasion derives additional
importance from the fact that it is 25 years since Viscount Holmesdale was installed by the then G . Registrar and Prov . G . Master of Cambridgeshire , Bro . Thus . H . Hall , as Prov . G . Master , Gravesend being likewise the scene of that important ceremony . With that kindly consideration which he so frequently evinces for the pupils of our Masonic Girls' School ,
Bro . Alderman Savory generously invited the children to vi- it him at his country residence , Buckhurst Park , Sunninghill , on Tuesday , the gth inst .

and a large number of Bro . Alderman Savory ' s neighbours and friends . Though the morning looked threatening , matters mended and , as it happened , a most enjoyable day was spent by the Alderman's youthful guests , special trains being engaged to convey them to Sunninghill and home again .
The East London Industrial Exhibition , which was opened four weeks since by H . R . H . the Princess Louise and the Marquis of Lome and a distinguished company , was on Thursday , the nth inst ., the scene of a highly interesting ceremonial , the Most Noble the Marquis of Ripon having kindl y undertaken to distribute the prizes , which the various objects of self culture and industry had
wen for those exhibiting . The noble Marquis was supported by the Marchioness of Ripon , Lord and Lady Hobart , and many other aristocratic supporters of these useful undertakings , and was introduced by Bro . Dr . Dundas Grant , M . D . In the course of the proceedings we gathered that there had been a most encouraging amount oflocal support to render the Exhibition , what fortunately it had proved to
be , a complete success , both as regards the excellent objects it had in view , and also from the financial aspect . I his gives promise that another similar undertaking may follow that just brought to so happy a conclusion , and the Committee are to be congratulated upon the great success which has attended their unwearied labours to improve the moral and social condition of the toilers in this large industrial
district . The use of the Drill Hall was kindly given by Lieut .-Col . Donald Munro ; Bro . the Right Hon . the Earl of Shaftesbury , K . G ., was the President ; and an influential Committee had for its able Secretary and Manager , Mr . A . C . rt . McLaglen . 3 , 000 , 000 tins of CHAMPION'S MUSTARD were sold in
London atone during the past year . . Why was this so ? Because the public , having satisfied themselves it was the best and cheapest , gave 11 a preference over all others . —ADVT . £ 20 . —Tobacconists commencing . —A pamphlet ( 80 pages ) How to open respectably from ^ 20 ; three stamps , H , Myers & Co ., Cigar ami 1 ' obact . o Merchants , Kuston-rd ., London .
