Masonic Notes.

Masonic Notes .

The Quarterly Convocation of Supreme Gran Chapter will be held at Freemasons' Hall , on Wednesday , the 1 st prox ., at 6 p . m . The agenda which will then be brought under the notice of the companions will be found in another part of our columns .

We learn by telegraph that at a meeting of the Grand Lodge of Canada , on Wednesday , Bro . W . R . White , Q . C , Pembroke , vvas elected Grand Master , and Bro . Wm . Gibson , M . P ., Beamsville , Deputy Grand Master . Comp . J . Ross Robertson , P . G .

Master , Canada , vvas elected Grand V .. Bro . Gibson is the retiring Grand Master , and unless the cable has blundered , we can only regard his acceptance of the office ot Deputy Grand Master as an act of self-abnegation , which does credit alike to his Masonic zeal and modesty of character .

The Indian Masonic Review for June is unusually well furnished wilh reports of the proceedings at sundry of the District Grand Lodges in India as well as at some ofthe District or Provincial Grand Chapters .

To the proceedings of the District Grand Lodge of the Punjab , on the ioth March , we have referred in former Notes . The District Grand Lodge of Bombay was held on the 30 th of the same month under the presidency of
