a large muster of brethren from all parts ol the Province . Congratulations were exchanged on the fact that at tho recent annual O ' estival in connection wuh the Boy .- , ' Masonic Institution , Bros .

The monthly meeting of the General Committee of the Royal Masonic Institution for Boys was held on Saturday 2 nd instant , at Freemasons' Hall , when there was a lull attendance , under the presidency of Bro . A . F . Godson , M . P .,

Patron , P . G . D . There was a large number of petitions for consideration . The list of candidates for tho Oetobei Election , as far as possible , was prepared , and eleven vacancies declared . A grant towards the outfit of an ex-pupil was made , and a vote of thanks to the Chairman closed the business .

We are frequently amused with the arrogance displayed by some of our self-constituted " supporters , " bat the genus exists elsewhere , if we may rely on the following , which we cull from an " exchange" : —

"In the report of the meeting of Lodge our readers will notice a remark made by Bro . , a visitor to the Lodge , namely , _ That he had come to the conclusion that the paper ( ) was not impartial ; certain Lodges got column after column , month after month , while others were never even mentioned . This looked to him

like cliqnism , and while ifc existed he for cue would not give tho P per his support . ' In reply , wo may state that wo cannot bo expected to publish accounts of meetings wo arc never , ; . ;! - ; ¦ d ; - , o vi .-it . We are only too happy to receive notice of Lodge ine .. ting :: . Seoondfy , as far as Professor —— is concerned , the ste . port afforded by hiai has been , —nil . "

Wo need hardl y add , \ vc also have found the '' deadheads " always the most difficult to satisfy , however zealously we Way have striven to please .

— : 0 : — The Freeviin * on Jubilee Number . Loudon : Freemason Office , Great Quoen-s . reot , U ' . C . It may be rather Into to speak of a production which has won the idmiratiou of all who have seen i , both for elegance of design and

comprehensiveness of matter ; but those considerations in themselves ratut bo our excuse for any aup iv-mt tardiness in the way of notice . The Jubilee nnmbor stands alone , as the concentration of an enormous bulk of information interesting to all Freemasons , and there is not a member of the Craft bnt , should be in possession of a copy— 'i . e .,

it he can get it . Tho introductory pages give an elaborate sketch of " Royal Masons "—scions of Reigning Houses—who have donned the lambskin apron since A . D . 1717 . A long list is given of tho " Royalties " who have figured in the Craft , both in this and other countries ; and the recapitulation M eminently valuable for reference

on subjocrs chat tire often the matter of inquiry . Under the heading of "Tho Queen and fcha Craft , " Bro . G . Blizird Abbott dilates on Freemasonry in English-speaking communities daring the Viotorian K' -a . Full information is given oi' previous Grand Masters , from the Duke of Sussex to the present date , with all the salient features of

their respective reigns over the Craft . The Masonic Charitable Institutions and Associations are described , with elaborate returns as to tho work each iris accomplished ; and these sketches are accompanied by views of tho Boys' and Girls' Schools , and the Benevolent Institution , from photographs by Bro . Bedford Lemaire , of the Strand ,

Mark Masonry , Masonic Knight-Te nplary , and other Masonic Systems in the Unit- 'd Kingdom , the Colonius aud Dependencies of the British Crown , are also given , with pot traits of eminent Masons iu this aud other countries . Bro . W . J . llnghan P . G D . treats learnedly of Royal Masonic medals of England ; and there is a lengthy

and detailed record of the M-nonie Celebration of Har Maj-sty ' s Jubilee at , Albert HaU , of which all , whether present or nob , will be glad to preserve au account . A great many other subjects are dealt with , in very interesting manner , and we rppoafc thnfc n <> Mason should

Ue without this standing work of information aud reference . Tho marvel is that so Valuable a collection of Masonic matter could have been brought together in such elegaut f > riu at tho ridiculonsl y low price of sixpence .

The 19 th Anniversary Festival of the Benevolent Fund connected with the Grand Lodge of Mark Master MasoDS will be celebrated on the 20 th instat . t , at the Holborn Restaurant . Bro . tho liio-hf , Hon . the Earl of Amherst

M . W . P . G . M . of M . M . M ., and Prov . Grand Master of the Craft Province of Kent will pi eside , and a large and distinguished assemblage of Mark Master Masons is expected . Dinner will be served at six o ' clock precisely .
