Masonic Festivities.

members of your lodge , for the purpose of obtaining the services of a brother , or that you will on your responsibility as AV . M . of the lodge appoint some brother who may be willing to act as Steward , and represent the lodge at this the first festival held iu connection with the Grand 31 ark Lodge Benevolent Fund . It is hoped that a speedy response will be made to this appeal , as it is very desirable that the festival should not be

delayed beyond the middle of July . If the arrangements can be made for holding the festival within that date , there is every hope of its being attended with success , and that it will be graced by a considerable number of Ladies , whose presence is so anxiously wished to ensure the favourable result anticipated by those who have been instrumental in organising tbe festival . The expenses in excess of those to be defrayed by purchase of dinner ticketscannot be more than moderateand will be

, , defrayed - pro rata by the Stewards . Earnestly soliciting your kind co-operation , " I am , AV . and Dear Sir and Brother , " Yours faithfully and fraternaly , "FREDERICK BINCKES , G . Sec . "
