Hull Amateue Theatricals . — -On Thursday evening , January 29 , an immense audience assembled at the Jarratt-street Rooms , to witness the long-talked-of performance , for the benefit of the Benevolent Fund attached to the Minerva Lodge of Freemasons . Through the instrumentality of Messrs . Wolfendefi and Melbourne , of the Queen's Theatre , a very handsome and compact little stage had been erected at one end of the room , with beautiful scenery , and machinery that worked to perfection . Everything was got up en regie ; an excellent amateur orchestra filled up the intervals , and Bro , F . Jackson accompanied the vocal
portions of the entertainment on the pianoforte . " You Can t Marry Your Grandmother , " " Bombastes Furioso , " and (( The Two Bonny castles , '' were the entertainments of the evening , all excellently represented by Bros . B . Jacobs , J . Jacobs , Jone % J . Harrison , Mrs . Wilson , and the Misses Cudworth and Seyton , professional actresses , who kindly gave their services . The responsible duties of stage-manager were undertaken by Bro . Arden , the W . M . of the Lodge , to whom is due the entire credit of having originated the performance and carried out the arrangements , by which we are glad to hear upwards of £ 70 have been added to the Benevolent Fund .
Htjddeksfield .- —The annual ball and soiree given by the W . M . and Brethren of the Huddersfield Lodge , No . 365 , took place on Friday , the 20 th of February , at the Zetland Hotel . The Lodge-room was tastefully decorated for the occasion , and presented an appearance rarely to be surpassed for beauty and gaiety . The attendance was very good , the Brethren appearing in full Masonic clothing , from the Boyal Arch downwards , with jewels , collars , and badges of office . The music , on which the life of a ball depends , was everything that could be wished . We
were particularly delighted with a new Masonic polka , played during the evening , which has just been published by Bro . Joe Wood , P . G . O . of West Yorkshire , in which certain airs , well known to the initiated , are introduced with good taste and the happiest effect , and the time is so distinctly marked , that it is next to impossible to get out of step . We have no doubt but that this polka will become , as it richly deserves to be , a great favourite at all Masonic dances . At half-past eleven o ' clock the supper-room was thrown open , where the tables were furnished in a
rechercM manner , and did much credit to the worthy caterers , and gave great satisfaction to everyone present . Bro . J . Brook was appointed Master of the Ceremonies , a-nd he performed the duties of that office in a very able manner . Dancing was kept up with great spirit till past four o ' clock , when the band struck up " Roger de Coverley , " after which the party separated , the Brethren having enjoyed themselves exceedingly ; and if we may judge from the happy faces of the ladies , they also passed . an agreeable evening . This is the third Masonic ball given in Huddersfield since Christmas , all of which have passed off with e ~ clat .
Portobello Masonic Ball . —This assembly came off in the Town Hall , on Friday evening , February 20 , with eclat . The hall was beautifully decorated for the occasion . Upwards of thirty Brethren , in full Masonic costume , with their wives and " bright particulars / ' kept up the dance , in all its varied forms , with unwearied spirit , until five o ' clock next morning , to the excellent quadrille band
