LODGE HISTORIES .

CENTENARY OF THE OLD GLOBE LODGE . WE take the following extracts from thc paper ou the history of the Old Globe Lodge , read by Bro . R . H . Peacock P . M ., at tho celebration of the Centenary Festival of the Lodge , at Scarborough , ou the 15 th ult .: — In a short paper like the present it will be impossible to present to the brethren more than a brief digest of the more interesting portions

of the history of the Lodge ; nor will it be possible to give in full the charters , documents , and minntes which would probably be included in a printed work . The chief points of interest in the early history of the Lodge have been mostly selected for thia paper , as being of special interest at this period of the Lodge ' s history . It is very difficult to say with any degree of certainty when the firsfc Lodge

wns formed in Scarborough . As York may be regarded as the home of ancient Masonry , so the connection of Scarborough with York was so intimate that the Craft in the two towns was closely connected . A Lodge was chartered by the Regular Grand Lodge of England ( the "Prince "Masons , "Regulars , " or "Moderns" ) in 1729 , 27 th August , at Scarborough . The meetings were held at the Three Tuns

Inn ( situate about the bottom of Globe-street ) . This Lodge was iu existence abnnt a quarter of a century . This Lodge and one afc Halifax were the only private Lodges in the County of York A . D . 1738 . This was not the first Masonic Lodge in the Town , there being a Lodge which can be traced as being in existence in the latter put of the 17 th century . The Lodge held at the Three Tuns was erased

from the list of Lodges under the " Modern" Grand Lodge in Norember 1754 . There was a further Lodge warranted by the Grand Lodge of all England ( held at York ) in 1762 , the records of which are preserved afc York from 27 th May 1762 , to 30 th August 1763 . In 1772 a letter from Bro . Hart , of Scarborough , was read ab the York Grand Lodge , stating that Bro . Jefferson , in whose house this Lodge

met , had left the mn , and on the decline of the Lodge had taken the jewels with him . In 1779 a letter was read at the same Grand Lodge from Bro . Wm . Hntton Steel , of Scarborough , saying that the jewels were in possession of a Mrs . Hall , who wonld give them up if safe in so doing . It appears from tho letter that the jewels wero those of the 1729 Lodge , which had evidently been used by the Lodge of 1762 .

Bro . Steel states that he is the last survivor of four score Brethren , and is very old and infirm , and wishes them to be in proper hands before he dies , and there is no one but himself who has any claim on them . In December 1779 , be sent the jewels , and said the Lodge of 1729 had not a meeting since 1735 , which is 44 years since ,

and he had fallen heir to them . He freely gave them to tho Grand Lodge at York , and all the jpwols are still there in the custody of tbe York Lodge . Tbo Lodge at York allowed Bro . Steel Is 6 _ a week afterwards to assist hig declining years . It is quite clear that tho York Masons have a perfect right to them , but stops should betoken to see if theEe moat interesting relics could uot bo obtained and
