S . ; T . W . White , Aide-de-Camp . The installation , visitors ' , and associates' fees were , pursuant to notice , increased , and the question of the adoption of the tunic by the conclave , as also the device of the " Plantagenista , " was

referred to a committee of five . The conclave was then closed , and the knights adjourned to the refectory , where a bountiful and choice banquet was served . In the course of the evening the M . P . S . gave the usual loyal and chivalric toasts , which were all heartily received . A Past Sovereign ' s jewel was presented to Sir Kt . D . R . Still , the Immediate P . S ., in recognition of his services and

courteous demeanour at all times , and that worthy knight expressed his thanks briefly , but to the purpose . E . Sir Kt . John Boyd , P . Sov ., proposed the Sovereign ' s health , and dwelt at some length upon the many merits of Sir Kt . Thomas , who , he said , was so eminently qualified to

preside over Ihe conclave . Sir Kt . Thomas replied in acknowledgment of the compliment . The " newlyinstalled companions-iii-arms" also returned thanks to the toast of their health , and Sir Kts . W . B . Johnston , of St . Andrew ' s Conclave , No . 15 , and G . F . Henley , of the Rose and Lily Conclave , No . 3 . responded for the visitors .

Rose and Lily Conclave , No . 3—This conclave held its fourth anniversay meeting at the Masons' Hall , Mason ' savenue , on Saturday , the 75 th inst ., when the M . P . S .-elect , Sir Kt . W .

confraternity of the Red Cross . The M . P . S . then invested the officers for the ensuing year as follows : —Sir Kts . G . Kenning , Viceroy ( elected ) ; J . W . Dawson , S . G . ; D . D .

Walters , P . Sov . 3 , an exmember , and C . Parker Ward , of No . 2 . During the evening several good songs were sung by Sir Kts . Henley , Dawson , and others present , and all were highly pleased

with the entire proceedings . This conclave , which had somewhat languished after its removal from Richmond , is now becoming more prosperous , five members having been installed at the last two meetings ; and under the able guidance of so good a Mason as Bro . Mann , and with the valuable assistance of Bro . Cottebrune—both being widely known and talented brethren—it is likely to attain a position second to none .

HOLLOWAY ' S PILLS AND OINTMENT . — Wind y Weather . —Throughout the spring , and sometimes far into the summer , the keen easterly winds sorely test the weakchested , the rheumatic and the neuralgic . To subdue the first indications of these maladies , Holloway ' s well-known remedies should be applied at once ; each day ' s neglect makes the treatment more difficult and the issue more

dangerous . These Pills throw off all impurities , clear the lungs , regulate the circulation , and overcome inflammatory tendencies ; and the Ointment well rubbed in near the affected part , checks all erroneous action , draws all surplus blood which is creating mischief to the surface , and gets rid of it by increasing the capillary circulation of the skin and augmenting its exhalcments . —[ Advt ]

REPORT of Dr . Arthur Hill Hassall , Analyst of the " Lancet" Sanitary Commission , Author of " Food and its Adulterations , " & c , & c , on Mayar ' s Semolina : "Ihave carefully tested , chemically and microscopically , the samples of Semolina sent by Messrs . L . Mayar & Co ., 36 , Mark Lane , London , E . C . I find them to be perfectly genuine , of excellent quality , and eminently nutritious . They contain a very large percentage of

nitrogenous matter , chiefly gluten , and arc far more nutritious than any other food , such as Arrowroot , Tapioca , Sago , Com Flour , Farinaceous Food , ordinary Wheat Flour , or any of the Cereals in use as food in this country . — ( Signed ) ARTHUR HILL HASSALL , M . D ., London . " - - Highly recommended by the Faculty for Infants , Invalids , & c . Makes delicious Pudding , Custards , Blanc Mange , & c .
