an excellent dinner , winch was provided for them at the Saracen's Head Hotel , Charles P . Cooper , Esq ., Q . C , the Provincial Grand Master , presiding . Several members of the Craft residing in Ashford and the neighbourhood having expressed a wish to see a Lodge established in the town , the Provincial Grand Master said nothing would give him greater satisfaction than to be called upon to consecrate a Lodge there . It is understood that immediate steps will be taken to procure a warrant from the Grand Lodge of England .
WHITBY , YORKSHIRE . —The brethren of the Lion Lodge ( No . 391 ) , have , as we mentioned in our last number , been favoured with a visit by Br . W . Goring , M . P ., of Lodge ( 25 ) , and P . Z . of Chapter ( No . 25 . ) , London , whose specific object was to introduce the lectures in Freemasonry as practised in the various Lodges of Instruction in the metropolis ancl the knowledge of which , in Whitby , as in most of the provincial Lodges , was exceedingly limited ; in fact , for any practical purposes might be considered quite unknown . Br . Goring , however , by his unremitting attention during a fortnight spent here , has succeeded so far as to place the whole of those beautiful lectures
at the command of the different officers and several members of the Lodge , so that , by following up those impressions by a regular weekly meeting of mutual instruction now held every Tuesday evening , there is every probability of their being retained , and this lodge as effectually worked as any out of London . Whilst the brethren here feel particularly grateful for the very able services of Br . Goring , they would especially recommend a similar step to be taken by many other country Lodges . The great ability displayed by Br . Goring in his method of instruction far exceeds everything
that has been witnessed here previously , and surpasses the most sanguine expectations . During his visit , a Masonic picnic was held in Mulgrave Woods , at which he was also present , and contributed much to the enjoyment of tbe party . The Britannia Chapter here likewise reaped great benefit from his services , and , as in the case of the Craft , so also in Royal Arch Masonry , did our worthy Br . display that admirable ability and wonderful talent which he possesses in such an extraordinary degree to the delight and satisfaction of every companion present . The fortnight thus spent will ever be considered as most important in a Masonic point of view , and will doubtless contribute largely to the future prosperity of both Craft and Royal Arch Masonry in Whitby .
