The Game Of Billiards.

this head is , thafc had R . W . Bro . Williams neglected to do this , he would have been wanting in his duty towards the Grand Master of England , whose representative in New South Wales he is . As for the conduct of our Grand Secretary in taking npon himself to courteously ignore

this so-called Grand Lodgo , he too has acted with an amount of discretion which reflects the greatest possible credit on his judgment . The fact is , the Lodges in the several jurisdictions in the colony of New South Wales occupy a far more honourable position as subordinates of

the three oldest Grand Lodges in the world than they conld ever hope to do as constituent Lodges of a mushroom Grand Lodge , with no credentials to fall back upon save those for which they are indebted to their mother Grand

Lodges . We think ifc will be found that , as a rule , —to which , of course , there are such notable exceptions as the Canadian Grand Lodge for instance , —these so-called Grand Lodges are established for the g lorification of the promoters rather than for the advancement of the interests of

Freemasonry . Our English , Scotch , and Irish Colonial Lodges have every freedom , and all the rights they could possibly enjoy , even if they belonged to independent Grand Lodges . What more can they hope for or desire ?

Ifc has been decided to keep open the Royal Polytechnic Institution for a few days longer ; this conclusion has been arrived at in consequence of so many visitors attending since the announcement was made of the intention to wind up the affairs of the company .
