We are pleased to learn the North London Masonic Ball , held annually on behalf of the Institutions , promises this year to be another great success . The date fixed is Thursday , 27 th inst .,

and it is hoped that last year's return of £ 94 may even be exceeded on this occasion . Bro . F . Humphreys ( 44 Canonbury Square , N . ) is acting as Hon . Secretary , and will be glad to supply any further information .

The Lord Warkworth Lodge , No . 1879 , held their annual ball in the Central Hall , Amble , on the 14 th ulfc . The hall was tastefully decorated for the occasion , with flowers and flags .

Several emblems of the Craft were hung on the walls , and the stage , which was occupied by the orchestra , was beautifully set off with flowers , supplied by Dr . Smythe , Amble House . Overforty couple were present .

The annual Ladies' Banquet and Ball in connection with the Eccleston Lodge , No . 1624 , will be held at the Criterion , on Wednesday , 19 th inst ., and is expected to be as great a success as usual . Tickets may be had of Bro . James Morris , the Woodrow Lodge of Instruction , Stone ' s Bestaurant , Panton Street , Havmarket .
