is painted , a valley scene , through which runs a beautiful stream , which passes under a real bridge and disappears in natural perspective on the western wall . Let us go over the bridge . A rocky path leads up to the bridge , which we cross ,

and our path continues behind a wall of rock to the height of 14 ft . Pursuing our journey we descend rapidly into a square room , about 20 ft . square , bordered with natural scenery , trees , & c , and conveying a good idea of " some vast

wilderness , some boundless contiguity of shade . " Apartments Nos . 3 and 4 are of equal dimensions , and applicable for conferring the higher grades . The Banquet Room is about 30 x 50 ft ., and will comfortably seat 200 guests . Larder , store room , pantry , and kitchen make this suit complete . The arrangements for this branch of the work are

complete , the dishes , glnsses , china , & c , cost over £ 400 , and would be sufficient for a very fair hotel . The money expended on the furnishing already described has not been squandered , but has been well and judiciously expended , and reflects great

credit ou the zeal of the brethren of the rite . About £ 1 , 600 has also been subscribed by the members , which , when expended , will produce even a better effect than already is to be found . I have , perhaps , been too precise and tedious in

thus giving the detail , but I have done so that our brethren may see that we in the " wooden country " have some ambition and zeal , and have determined that the rooms I have described shall have no equal in the Masonic world .

Should this suit your MAGAZINE , and interest any of your numerous readers , you may again hear from AN IRISH YANKEE .

A correspondent has submitted to us the following , queries : — 1 . The Freemasons' Magazine lias decided that the law of Grand Lodge does not forbid the admission into a lodge of a brother , under a foreign jurisdictionin the clothing recognised bhis own Grand .

, y Lodge . Is it then correct to allow a brother under the Scotch Constitution , visiting an English lodge ,, to wear a Mark jewel , but not to wear a lioyal Arch ,, and to allow a brother under the Irish Constitutions

to wear both jewels , the Mark degree only being recognised in Scotland , and both degrees being recognised in Ireland ? 2 . In the ceremony of installation , as the Board of Installed Masters cannot be formed until after the lodge is opened in the third , degree , is it necessary

for all brethren under the rank of an Installed Master to withdraw before the lodge is opened in the third , degree ; and should the W . M . elect be presented for the benefit of installation , and take the O . B . of a W . M . elect , when the lodge is in the second or third ' degree ? I have seen both practices .

3 . Some time ago you laid down the law that a S . W ., when ruling a lodge in the absence of the W . M . and P . M . 's , should wear his own badge , the level , and not the badge of the office he assumes . In that case , what badge should the brother acting as S . W . for the time wear ; and should brethren

acting in junior offices wear the distinctions of those offices if not regularly appointed to them ? May I respectfully draw Bro . Hopkins' or Bro . Hughan ' s attention to a query in the Magazine of May 2-5 fch , page 407 , under the heading- '' Visitors and Certificates , " with a view to its solution?—W . S . L .
