Masonic Notes.

Masonic Notes .

The members of the Aldersgate Lodge , in pursll = ance of their annual custom , have unanimously agreed to invite the I . P . M ., Bro . Alderman Renals , and Mrs ,

Renals to a complimentary banquet , at which visitors ( ladies and gentlemen ) may be introduced . These reunions are much enjoyed , and we think might , with advantage , be more generally adopted by other lodged ,

* * * The scheme for relieving the funds of the Boys ' School from the payment of the pension to Bro , Binckes is not making such rapid progress as the

friends of the Institution could wish , but we have faith in its speedy completion as soon as the lodges fully realise the advantages that will accrue to the Institution directly it is relieved from the dead-lock that has existed for some time .

* * * The West Yorkshire brethren have shown what can be done by prompt and energetic action . Not only have they obtained the full quota asked from 74 out of the 75 lodges in the province , but an excess of ^ 40 13 s . 6 d . of

has been forthcoming , ^ 20 which they have determined to devote to a fund for providing practical instruction in the arts of printing and carpentry at Wood Green . We shall have something more to say on this

subject next week , in the meantime we would urge the friends of the Institution to take this matter up with a will , so that nothing may stand in the way of the full success of the coming Festival .

The meeting of the Provincial Grand Chapter of Middlesex is fixed for Saturday , the 21 st June , at the Greyhound Hotel , Hampton Court . * * *

The consecration of the Ermine Lodge , at Lincoln , on Monday , was a very successful affair . The Grand Secretary was in good form , and , with his experienced lieutenant , Bro . Frank Richardson , as Director of Ceremonies , and Bros . Captain Philips and J . H .

Matthews as Wardens , the ceremony went as smoothly as could be desired . Bro . Cousans , as W . M ., has added another to his already long list of Masonic honours , and we congratulate him heartily on the excellent start the lodge has made .
