Alexandra Palace Lodge of Instruction , No . 1451 . —The above Lodge , which holds its weekly meetings at tho . Station Tavern , Camberwell New Road , and of which Bro . J . R . Stacey is the able Preceptor , has again given proof of the desire of its members to carry into effect the great principles of charity , which has been well described as " the brightest ornament which can adorn our Masonic

profession , " for at the last meeting a ballot took place for three Life Governorships to the Masonic Institutions , proving that while deriving instruction themselves , the brethren keep the fact of those who need assistance steadily in view . Last year the same Lodge contri . bated four Life Governorships to the Masonic Charities in like manner , and this is all done in a very simple and excellont way , and somewhat

novel in its arrangement . Each member pays a small annual snm , which not only covers the ordinary expenses , but leaves a good margin to be devoted to the cause of Charity . Every member is eligible to obtain these prizes , but to become so it is necessary that ho should attend a certain number of meetings of the Lodge during the year , thus proving his desire to obtain instruction , as well as have a chance of possessing a rich reward for having done so . This plan has been

considered less objectionable than the common practice of paying a weekly contribution for the same object , although there is no doubt that during several years past substantial benefits to the different Charities have been derived therefrom . It is satisfactory to state that after the three ballots above referred to had been paid for , a good balance remained behind , on which the future charitable superstructure will be built , to be dispensed in like manner in the future .

adjoining room , wherein Bro . Terry , under the able catering of Bro . Slawson , had in readiness a sumptuous repast . This was the first festive gathering held at this establishment , inasmuch as the present edifice stands on the site of a building which had to be demolished for metropolitan improvements .

make it a centre for this locality . On the removal of the cloth , Bro . Hamlyn introduced the usual toasts . Bro Voisey , in an excel , lent speech , proposed the President ' s health , to which suitable response was made by Bro . Hamlyn , who , before resuming his seat , proposed Prosperity to the Rose Lodge of Instruction . This toast

havino- been replied to , the President proposed the health of Bro . D . Rose , the Preceptor of the Lodge , and in the course of an eloqnent and effective speech , referred to the long and continuous work which Bro . Ro e had carried out as a Preceptor in South London , not as regarded that Lodge alone , but for the Order generally . Bro . Hamlyn uit'ed that to attend several Lodges weekly demanded much self .

denial , nnd self-abnegation had to hi submitted to . Their Preceptor had been content to undergo all this , and much more ; for ofctimes , though not in good health , he had been in their midst when he might have been by his own fireside . This the brethren fully realised . A most pleasing duty now devolved upon him ( tho President ) ; this was to present Bro . Rose , in tho name of tho Lodge , with a life-like

portrait of himself , from tho studio of Bro . Beneditti , of Rye-lane , Peckham , who unfortunately was unable to be present , professional duties having called him to Italy . The presentation was then made , Bro . Hamlyn offering some very fratornal romuks and then stating that Bro . Beneditti had presented a fac simile portrait , which would adorn their Lodge for the future . Bro . Rose , in acoepting the

souvenir , made an oxeeodingly modest speech , nevertheless displaying much feeling and eloquence ; he alluded to the unvaried kindness he had mei wirti , and tho courtesy with which he had been treated during the long series of years he had been a Preceptor . Tho most useful perhaps—happy hours at least—of his life had been spent within the walls of tho Lodges wherein he had been Proceptor .

Apart from the intrinsio value of their gift , he should regard it as the most valuable heirloom ho could hand to his children ; and should the evening of his life be one wherein laboar had ceased he should gaze on the portrait and recall its associations with pleasurable feelings . The President next proposed the health of the Treasurer and Secretary , and Bro . Cowley ( Treasurer ) responded in a business-like

speech , while Bro . Grummant acknowledged tho compliment paid tho Secretary ; in the course of his remarks stating that forty members had been added to the roll of tho Lodge of Instruction daring the past year , and that theaverage attendances had been twenty-one . Their Masonic Charitable Association numbered fifty members , and from this source the snm of 250 guineas had been sent to the

respective Institutions during the last two years . He was pleased to know that Bro . Stone had been elected Assistant Secretary ; his valuable co-operation had been manifested in various ways already . Personally he ( Bro . Grummant ) thanked the Lodge for the confidence reposed in him , and assured them ho would attend to the duties of his office as heretofore . The President then proposed

Prosperity to the Peckham Lodge of Instruction , for which Brother Hilton responded . Then followed the toast of the Stewards—Bros . Rose , Earl , Mercer , Penny , Voisey and Stone , who severally made response . The mnsical arrangements were carried out nnder the direction of Bro . Voisey ; he was assisted by Bros . Earl , Philp , Leonard and White . Bro . Pritchett P . M . 1662 accompanied on the pianoforte . The T yler ' s toast concluded the bnsiness of the eveninc .
