Tho vice-chair was filled by Bro . Hollington , W . M . of tho Mother Lodge . In proposing tho toasfc of tho evening , " Success to tho Langthorn Masonio Institution , " Bro . Tharp describee at length how it had been , in the first instance , suggested and brought

into due form by Bro . T . S . Taylor , and ho went to show how the success that had been achieved was mainly duo to his exertions . No less than £ 500 had been voted in tho course of tho last two years . Bro . Taylor responded , and in doing so thanked all present for the compliment they had paid him , aud attributed much of tho success to the assistance which had been so freely offered him by

several indefatigable brethren . Bro .

tlncnb , and emphatic manner , and set forth the claims of his Institution to the continued support of tho Craft . Bro . Terry followed suit , and fully endorsed Bro .

Royal Albert Hall , the great honour of attaching his autograph to several of the artist's proofs . This will give an additional interest to this necessarily limited number of en" -ravings now in course of issue , and there will be doubtless

a very keen competition among Ci-attsmcn as to who shall be the fortunate possessors . We offer Bro . Harty onr hearty congratulations on this crowning evidence of the merits of his work , and trust he may have a substantial reward for the cares and anxieties he must Lave experienced , as well as for the arduous labours he has gone through during the past threo years .

We have to acknowledge the second number of Per Jj-und , a new Masonic publication which has made its appearance this year . Bros . Hugo Mandcllo and Dr . Ludwio- Rosenberg are joint editors , ancl the contents

are of a very interesting character . The new candidate for Masonic favour deserves to be well supported by our German and Hungarian brethren . It is published at Buda-Pestli , Yienna and Leipsic .

We acknowledge , with fraternal thanks , receipt of a copy of Bro . David Pryce Owen ' s 8 crij > fitral Extracts , compiled and pointed as a Musical Service for the various Masonic
