\ TUNE has passed away and July lias come in , and the London Lodges are closing , ancl some of the brethren are moving away from the " Little Village .

We understand that a new Lodge is about to be formed , to be named the ' ' Creaton , " in honour of our gallant Bro . Lt .-Col . Creaton ; and we rejoice to know that such is the case , as no better Mason , no more hard working Brother , no more zealous friend to our charities , and no more urbane and kindly companion exists .
We regret to have to mention that certain irregularities have been committed in the last voting for the Board of " General Purposes , " but they are in course of investigation by the authorities , and the evils are already redressed . A lively contest for the vacant Secretaryship of the Girls' School is going on . We trust that merit will again win the day ; as if there is any one thing
