y visitors of distinction , among whom was Bro . Gallienne , D . P . G . M . for Guernsey . A ballot was taken for Mr . John Benest , a candidate for initiation , after ample testimony as to character and fitness had been offered . This having proved unanimous in his favour , the ceremony was proceeded with after compliance with tie customary preliminaries , and conducted b the AVMwith the precision and abilitalway

y .. y s displayed by him . The illustrations of the working tools were given by Bro . P . E . Le Sueur , Past S . W . The AV . M . mentioned that the board of management had recommended the appointment of Bro . Schmitt , P . M ., formally to represent the lodge at the approaching reunion of the lodges of Brittany to be held at

He also stated that the officers appointed for the purpose had waited upon the widow of the late Bro . Le Cras , P . M ., with the address of condolence from the lodge on her bereavement , and that she was deeply , sensible of the sympathy and kind feeling manifested by the brethren . The Secretary read the circular announcing the festival at the

opening of the Masonic Boys' Schools , near London , on the 8 th of July . No other business offering , the lodge was closed at half past nine , and the brethren adjourned to the banqueting room for refreshment .

SOISTICIAL FESTrVAT , 01 ? THE UNITED LODGES 01 ? BRITTANY UNDEB TUB GEAND OltlENT 01 ? FEANCE , AT RENNES . Although it is not customary to publish in the Freemasons ' Magazine reports of lodges unconnected with the Grand Lodge of England , still in the present ease there is sufficient reason for departure from the general rule . AAlien the Masonic Temple at St . Helier was consecrated iu

May last year , an invitation to be present at the celebration was forwarded to the lodges of Brittany . Many brethren from St . Malo and Rennes accepted the invitation , and expressed themselves as highly gratified with the kind reception accorded to them . Very shortly after , and probably as the result of this fraternization , arose the idea of an annual fete , at which all the lodges of Brittany miht uniteto be held at the several

g , towns in rotation . The first event of the kind took place at St . Malo , vrhich afforded the Masons of that town , an opportunity of knowing more of the brethren on this side of the water , by sending an invitation to the Freemasons in the Channel Isles , which met with a friendly response . This year Rennes was fixed as the lace of rendezvous

upon p , and the arrangements for the reception were undertaken by the Loge de la , Parfaite AJwion . An especial invitation was sent to the Cesaree Lodge , of Jersey , with which , fvom the adoption of the French language therein , it was natural to expect more complete sympathy , and through it to the other lodges in the Channel Isles . On July 1 stten Masons bailing from the Grand Lodge of

, England crossed the water to Brittany , and but for the prospoet of unfavourable weather on the morning of that day , the number would have been doubled , as many others had given their names . The Cesaree Lodge was represented by Bro . Schmitt , P . M ., as the head of the deputation from that lodge , and Bro . Advocate Gallienne , D . P . G . M . for Guernsey , answered

for the lodges of that island , over which he has jurisdiction , he being their only representative . Besides these there were Bros . Du Jardin , Dr . Hopkins , M . Gallichan , Benham , E . D . Le Couteur , Past Masters , and Bros . Surguy , J . Blampied , and Viel . At about one p . m . on the first day of meeting , the brethren began to assemble at the Masonic rooms , where refreshments were provided , and some time was spent in mutual introductions and social intercourse preparatory to the more

formal proceedings . The lodge rooms being small , and therefore not fitted for the reception of the large number of Masons expected , no business was entered upon there , but at about three p . m . the brethren adjourned to more spacious premises not far distant . As usual in France , the lodge was opened by its members aloneand afterwards a procession of the visitors was formed

, , in which Lodge La Cesaree was honoured by precedence . When all had been arranged in the prescribed order , the members of the visiting lodges being in the centre of the room , _ Bro . Guillot , W . M ., or Venerable , of the Loge de la Parfaite Union , appointed places at his immediate right and left for the leaders of the respective deputations , the others occupying seats round the room . He then addressed a few

words of cordial welcome to all the visitors , to whom the usual Masonic honours were paid . Afterwards , orations were delivered by the representatives appointed by the different lodges , a report of the past year's proceedings having been first read by the Secretary , and the Orator closed the business with an address embodying some suggestions in especial reference to portions of the Masonic ceremonieswhichin Francediffer

, , , considerably from those adopted in England , without , however , any interference with the ancient landmarks . He especially pointed out that recourse must be had to this country ( England and Scotland ) for the most complete knowledge of the history , traditions , and ceremonials of the Order , into an
