United Grand Lodge will hold its Grand festival on Wednesday next , the 29 th inst ., and as it will be the 21 st anniversary of the installation of the Prince of Wales as M . W . Grand Master , the occasion will be a more than usually memorable one . It is , indeed , very generally understood that his Royal Highness has
decided upon signalising the day by conferring Past Grand rank upcn a number of distinguished members of our lodges . However , it is not our intention to anticipate the announcements which will be made in Grand Lodge on Wednesday next . Rumours
occasionally have an awkward knack of turning out to be unfounded—one has already done so which was published some time ago in the Daily Telegraph . The wisest course , which we purpose adopting , is to prophesy what will happen a few days hence , when we shall know whit has happened . # #

learn through the medium of our columns how deeply indebted it is to his Royal Highness for the care , ability , and judgment he has exhibited in the administration of its affairs . » * # The annual meeting of the Provincial Grand Lodge
of West Yorkshire was held at Doncaster on Wednesday . There was a larger attendance of brethren than at ordinary annual meetings , as it was known that the retirement of Bro . Henry Smith from the post of Deputy Provincial Grand Master , which was only announced at the autumn Provincial Grand Lodge as
being an even . that would happen in the near future , would become au fait accompli , and that the very able and experienced Mason whom the Provincial Grand Master had selected to fill thc vacant office—Bro . John Cooper Malcolm , of Leeds—would be obligated
and installed as Bro . Smith s successor . We congratulate Bro . Malcolm upon his appointment , and trust he may have health and strength to discharge the duties now and henceforth devolving upon him with a success as conspicuous as that which was displayed by his respected predecessor .
Having welcomed the coming , we cannot do otherwise than speed ^ the parting Deputy . Not that it is necessary we should speak at any length of the mai ? y important services , which , during the whole of his long and ever active career , Bro . Henry Smith has rendered to Freemasonry , both generally and Provincially .
Those services need not to be proclaimed , as it were , by sound of trumpet . They are known everywhere , known almost as well at the head-quarters of Freemasonry in London ar . d in the Provinces as they are throughout the length and breadth of West Yorkshire ; and being thus known , they speak for themselves . But just at this moment , when the sense of regret which
naturally accompanies the closing of a long and active official career is keenest , we may perhaps be permitted to assure Bro . Smith that the respect he carries with liim into his retirement is at least commensurate with thc services he has rendered . At the same time , we most sincerely hope that he may be spired for many , many years to enjoy that respect which he has so justly earned .
* * * Our attention has been called to the case of " Robert Rothwell Kershaw , " described as of no occupation , who on Saturday last was charged befoie Mr . Rose , at the West London Police Court , with begging . The evidence of Police Constable 310 X . having been
given , and the prisoner's explanation having been duly considered , the Magistrate discharged him with a caution . We have every reason to believe , from trustworthy information which has reached us , that this is the very fellow against whom we cautioned our readers in one of our " Notes " on the 21 st March as having
been twice sentenced by London Magistrates to hard labour as a rogue and a vagabond , " and as being engaged at that date " in calling at the private houses of brethren soliciting alms . " The man , Kershaw , told Mr . Rose he was a Freemason and also that he had been educated at Trinity College , Dublin . He was also
stated to be " sixty-one " years of age . The person referred to in our " Note " was " an elderly man " and sent in a card to those he called upon with the initials " B . A ., T . C . D . " appended to his name . Doubtless , if Mr . Rose had had these circumstances brought to his notice , he would have dealt with thc case in a somewhat different fashion .
* * * While it is gratifyi ng to learn that very substantial progress has been made during the last three weeks in strengthening the Board of Stewards for the approaching Festival , which will be held on Wednesday , the 13 th May , under the presidency of the Earl of
Yarborough , Provincial Grand Master of Lincolnshire , we regret to find that several important and influential Provinces are either wholly unrepresented or represented only by two or three brethren . We are not surprised that Provinces should be absentees or indifferently represented , such as Cheshire , which did so
well for the Boys' School in July last year ; Middlesex , which so greatly distinguished itself in support of its Provincial Grand Master , Bro . Lord George Hamillon , at the Benevolent Festival in February last ; or Derby , shire , which is very properly husbanding its resources in order to promote the success of the Boys' School Festival in Juno , when his Grace the Duke of
Devonshire , its Provincial Grand Master , will occupy the chair . But tliere are other Provinces which , it appears to us , might exert themselves to a greater extent than they do , and we trust that before the eventful day approaches , some of their brethren will tender their services as Stewards . The Board at present numbers about 330 ,
