INSTBTJCTION . Percy Lodge ( No . 234 ) . —This old-established Lodge of Instruction , which formerly met at Down-street , Piccadilly , has been removed to Bro . Painter ' s , Ship and Turtle Tavern , Leadenhall-street , where the mother Lodge is held ; and has changed its night of meeting . It will now assemble on Saturday evenings , at seven o ' clock . Its opening under the new arrangements took place on Saturday last , when there was a very large attendance . Bro . J . B . Warren , No . 745 , occupied the chair . The ceremony of initiation and all the sections of the 1 st
Lecture were ably worked . Bros . Farmer , Thomas , Brett , Somers , Braham , Hay don , Barnett , Prince , Piatt , Solomon , Kerr , Isaacs , Moss , Bower , Hodson , Donohue , Hart , Mayer , Vanderlyn , and Painter , were elected joining members . Bro . W . Charnock was elected W . M . for the ensuing week . Bro . Burrell , W . M . of the mother Lodge , expressed his delight at seeing so great a muster , and said it was no doubt attributable to the energy of Bros . Warren and Charnock , under whose care he had no doubt the Lodge , both for instruction and numbers , would
shortly he second to none . The Brethren then saluted Bro . Warren with honours . It was resolved that the annual festival should take place on the 6 th March , on which occasion the ceremony of installation will be worked by Bro . Thomas , the -veteran P . M . No . 745 ; and we understand that Bro . Lambert , P . M . No . 234 , will be requested to preside at the banquet . We believe this Lodge was established by Peter Gilkes ; and the 100-guinea jewel which was presented to him is now the proportv of Bro . Key , one of the members .
