SHEPHERD'S BUSH LODGE , No . 1828 .
ON Monday , the 24 th ult ., this Lodge held its installation meeting at the Lad broke Hall , Notting Hill . There was a good attendance of visitors and a very large Board of Installed Masters , larger than we have seen in West London for some time . Amongst these the Hammersmith Lodge was represented by Bros . W . P . Cookbnrn P . M ., A . J . Barolay P . M . 1767 and Seoretary 2090 , F . Mander W . M . 2090 , and David Stroud P . M . 2090 , also Bro . W . C . Williams
P . P . G . S . B . of Middlesex . Bro . John Lewis and a number of distinguished visitors also attended the Lodge . The ceremony of installation was performed by the outgoing Master . Bro . H . P . Gilbert and his successor , Bro . P . F . Weinell , gave every proof that the Lodge would not suffer at their hands . No doubt the various changes the Lodge has had to make in its local habitation has tended during the last few years to reduce its numbers , and prevent the infusion of new
blood . Now , however , they have got a comfortable home , and with suoh good fare as Mrs . Linscott provided on Monday , there is little doubt but that the Lodge will soon increase iu numbers . At the same time , we could have wished that the Shepherd ' s Bush Lodge had found a home in its own district . There is an amonnt of touch whioh must be lost by having to take a journey , even in oases where tbe accommodation is as good aa that provided at the Holborn or Criterion .
Covent Garden Lodge of Instruction , No . 1614 . — The weekly meeting was held at the Criterion , Piccadilly , S . W ., on the 4 th inst ., when there were present Bros . G . A . Bergholz W .

AT the meeting of thia Lodge , held on Tuesday , at St . Botolph ' s Chambers , Bishopsgate-street , Bro . Lewis P . Courbro P . M . W . M . in tho chair , Bro . Clarence Trotter was unanimously eleoted W . M . for the ensuing year , and Bro . Joseph W . Hobbs P . P . G . Overseer Tr . and Sec , was again re-eleoted Treasurer , a post he has now held for several years .
My nephew hai taken it into his head to become a Freemason , and talks of aoting on the square with all men , of doing his level best for all mankind , more especially for those who , from no fault of their own , have been reduced to the direst poverty , and so on . At hia suggestion , or rather earnest solicitation , my aunt and myself went in to the Grand Masonio Bazaar in Edinburgh this week . We were
both delighted , but we are poorer—at preaent . We have taken tickets which my aunt believes will be certain to draw prizes , more particularly one for a ton of coala . We saw a lot of East Lothian people . The Earl of Haddington made a splendid speech , the Marchioness of Tweeddale looked charming in thistle green and gold ( my annt is responsible for the word " thistle" ) , and when not
engaged in selling , was busy buying , or taking part in the different sporta that were going on . In the shooting gallery her ladyship put on some good scores . The Haddington stall waa excellently got np , and the Ladies Ruth , Grisell , and Cicely Baillie Hamilton , and Miss E . Wannop seemed to be " all there . " In the theatre we saw some
of the performers who were out at the Haddington concert . Madame Annie Grey was there performing , and afterwards as a convulsed spectator of Mr . Skeoch Cumming ' s burlesque acrobatic feats . My aunt is determined to go in again . If we had the railway I believe she would go in every day . —LAMMER LAW , in Haddington Advertiser
We should hardly think that Freemasons generally feci honoured by tbe most recent Australian addition to membership of the Craft . From the Australian papers we learn that Peter Jackson , the coloured prize-fighter , has just been with great ceremony initiated into tho mysteries of Masonry by the General Gordon Lodge at Sydney . Jackson's supporters are said to have succeeded in bringing about
this quite unique event for the purpose of compelling the Americans ( to which country Jacksou is now on his way ) to recognise the coloured boxer as a " brother , " and so eligible for contests with white prize-fighters . We wonder whether Masonic supporters of " the ring " in England ( if such there be ) will now consider it their duty to extend a similar privilege to Slavic , who is to be the next great opponent of Jackson . —Pall Mall Gazette .
M . Floquet was suddenly taken ill at a Masonic dinner in honour of Voltaire on Sunday evening . He bad to keep his room the following day . He is in no apparent danger , and a speed y recovery is pronounced probable .
