Stanley Mastermau P . P . G . D . for Surrey , AV . M ., in tho Chair . Our respected brother was supported by the following Officers and Members of tho Lodgo : — J . W . Sugg S . W ., Poolo P .

reported that ho had a balance in hand of £ 55 3 s 7 d . Some routine business connected with tho Lodge was then discussed , after which P . M .

H . E . Frances , G . Deacon for Surrey : for tho

Royal Masonic Institution for Boys , Bro . George Wright J . W . ; and for the Royal Masonic Institution for Girls , Bro . Frederick G . Gilbert ; and that the sum of £ 5 be given from tho Funds of tho Lodge to bo put on Bro . Frances ' s list , and that £ 5 5 s be given from the Funds of tho Lodge for Bro . Gilbert ' s list , and the like sum for Bro . Wright ' s list , for tho respective Institutions for which they serve theoffice of Steward ,

and thatthoTreasnrerishereb yinstructed to pay those amounts accordingly . " This proposition was seconded by Bro . Jas . Robins P . M . Treasurer , and was unanimously approved of . Some slight discussion , however , arose as to why a diSevenca in tho amount subscribed should bo made , and it was hinted that doubtless our worthy Bro . Terry could make good use of the extra shillings represented by tho

guineas as against tho pounds which distinguished the respective amounts voted to the Charities . We havo heard similar remarks ou other occasions , aud commend tho question to Bro . Terry ' s serious consideration . Surely ho can relieve the minds of our worthy brethren who do not wish to make invidious distinctions by contributing more to the Charities represented by Bros . Binckes and

Little than to that of tho Benevolent Institution ; while to the Cratt wo need hardly say that its members can easily get over the difficulty ; let them subscribe the extra shillings ; fear not but that they will bo well applied . After the transaction of other business , Bro . H . E . Frances rose , and said that he had , in commemoration of his appointment to Provincial Office , resolved to present tho Frederick Lodge of Unity with an oil portrait of their esteemed Provincial Grand Master ,

Major-General Brownrigg . The portrait , which was pronounced to bo a most faithful likeness , was then exhibited , and the brethren were unanimous in their expressions of pleasure at the kindness of Bro . Frances . The Lodge was then closed , and the brethren adjourned to the banquet , which was very well served b y Bro . Potter . The usual Loyal aud Masonic toasts followed , and a very pleasant evening was spent , under the presidency of Bro . W . S . Mastermau .
