bouTHMOLTON . — Loyal Lodge of Industry ( No . 610 ) . —The regular monthly meeting of this Lodge was held at the Fremasons' Hall , on Tuesday , the 3 rd February . The W . M . > Bro .

-ESSEX . . COLCHESTER . ^ United Lodge ( No . 998 ) . —One very marked effect of the establishment of a military camp at Colchester has been to give a strong impetus to Freemasonry . Both officers and privates on foreign service , as well as in passing from town to town on home duty , find this ... universal bond of brotherhood of such iniportant advantage , that Masonry is perhaps more general in the army than in any other single profession . The Angel Lodge , No . 59—one of the most ancient
in the kingdom—has from the cause referred to experienced a large accession of members ; and is probably in a more flourishing condition than at any former period of its history . Of course , it is the desire of every sincere Freemason to advance through the various degrees and honours of the Craft ; and in this respect the military Brethren experience a disadvantage , as their sojourn in a place is rarely of sufficient duration to enable them to obtain and ^ fill offices , the appointments to which only recur annually , and to which in old Lodges resident members
have naturally a prior claim . With a view to obviate this difficulty in Colchester , a proposal was recently started for forming a second Lodge , under military auspices . An application for the recommendation of the existing Lodge to the petition to the Grand Lodge of England for the grant of a warrant ( the usual course of proceeding ) was not unnaturally regarded with some jealousy , but was eventually obtained ; and the Prov . G . M . granted a dispensation for immediately opening the Lodge , although unable at present to make arrangements for its consecration in
regular form . The designation of this new body is the " United Lodge , No . 998 , " and the George Hotel has been selected as its loccde . The installation of the Master , and the appointment of officers , took place on Wednesday afternoon ; the former ceremony being performed , at the desire of the Prov . G . M ., by the W . M . of the Angel Lodge—Bro . Thomas Hall . There was a great muster of the Craft , including visitors from a distance , and several Brethren of the Angel Lodge .
