Masonic Notes .

The gathering at Margate on the 23 rd ult . in connection with the consecration of St . John ' s Thantt Lodge , No . 2753 , was a most successful one . Not only was there a strong muster of the local brethren , butthe Provincial G . Lodge of Kent and the other lodges

in the Province were very numerously represented , and , in addition , there was a good sprinkling , including several members of Grand Lodge , from outside the Province . The ceremony was most impressivel y carried out by Bro . Earl Amherst , the Provincial G . Master of Kent , 'who was ably assisted in his task by

his Deputy , Bro . James S . Hastes , P . G . D ., and Bro . Horatio Ward , P . G . Std . Br ., as Director of Ceremonies . When the 'Jodge was constituted , Bro . Eastes , Dep . P . G . M ., installed Bro . J . Brighurstas the first W . Master , and the rest of the proceedings having bien carried lo a conclusion , the brethren adjourned

to a banquet at the King s Head Hotel , and there celebrated with hearty goodwill the important function of the day . We hope the new lodge will have a long and successful career . * * In another column will be found an illustration of

the Masonic Hall—the property of the Lodge of Union , No . 127—in which the meeting took place . It is one of the neatest and best built premises of its kind with which we have any acquaintance , while all the fittings and appointments are of the very best . It is not so very long ago that it was dedicated to these

purposes , and we congratulate the Union Lodge—but more particularly Bro . Crosoer , P . M . No . 127 , and the first S . W . of the new lodge , to whom the erection of the Hall is due—on being the proprietor of a building so admirably suited for Masonic purposes . We should gladly see other lodges adopting the same plan of erecting a Hall of their own .

* » * According to the City Press , the Masons who are members of the City of London Tradesmen ' s Club favour the formation of a lodge to consist exclusively of members of the club . The initial steps , we are told , have already been taken , and it is probable that H . R . H . the Prince of Wales , the M . W . G . M ., will be petitioned in a very short while to grant adispensition

for the formation of the lodge . Upwards ol 20 brethren have already expressed their willingness to become founders , while nearly as many more have put their names down as initiates . Naturally , no decision has been come to in reference to the place of meeting , but it is not improbable [ that the home of the lodge wil . be the Cripplegate Institute . A more convenient spot it would be difficult to find .

* * * The annual meeting of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Middlesex will be held at Teddington , on Saturday , the 22 nd inst . The Provincial Grand Chapter of Middlesex will meet on the following Saturday , the

29 th , at the Mitre Hotel , Hampton Court . We regret to hear that the Masonic work of the Provincial Grand Secretary , Bro . James M . Small , has been seriously interfered with by indisposition , but hope he may be speedily restored to good health .

* * The Committee of the Sudlow Testimonial met on the 2 nd ult ., and decided that the present ition of the testimonial should take place on Friday , the 2 Sth instant , at Freemasons' Hall , at 6 p . m . precisely , of which all subscribers will receive due notice . To those who have not already subscribed and aredesirous of doing so , it would yreatly oblige the Hon . Secretary and Committee to receive the same by the 21 st instant .

* * At the request of H . R . H . the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz , Bro . Henry Wright , last week , took his book of autographs to Gimbridge Cottage , Kew , which has now been signed by the entire family gathered together for the wedding—the Grand Duke and Duchess , the Hereditary Grand Duke and

Duchess , Princess Mane , Princess Jutta and Prince Borwin of Mecklenburg-Strelitz , Duke of Cambridge , Duke and Duchess of York , Princes Adolphus , Francis , and Alexander of Teck , and Duchess of Anhalt Dessan . The bride , as well as her father , was very interested in looking through the book , and her sister was anxious to know if her ( Princess Jutta ) fiancie had si

gned . The Crown Prince Danilo of Montenegro ' s autograph was found duly inscribed in the Jubilee year . The Grand Duke told the owner he had never seen such a book . The new American and Italian Ambassadors , and Sir George Gabriel Stokes , Past P . R . S ., Lord Kitchener of Khartoum , Lord Elgin , Professor Joachim , and M . Paderewski have also recently signed in it .

* On Wednesday , the 5 th instant , Edinburgh will be the scene of an event , of which it may safely be affirmed that it is unique in the annalsW Freemasonry . On that day the Lodge of Edinburgh , No . i ( Mary's Chapel ) , whose earliest records date from tne close of the 16 th century , will celebrate its Tercentenary , or

rather of its earliest entry in the minutes , which have been fortunately preserved to this day , there being no doubt whatever that the lodgt ' s career dates from a still more remote period . The banquet in honour of this event will be held in the Music Hall , Georgestreet , under the patronage of H . R . H . the Prince of Wales , who is Patron of the Craft north of the Tweed and was affiliated a member of the venerable lodge in

1 S 70 , but whose engagements , unfortunately , prevent him from taking part in the celebration . But the Grand Master , Past Grand Masters , and all the rest of the leading otlicers , both Present and Past , of the Grand Lodge of Scotland , have allowed their names to be added to the Tercentenary Committee of the lodge and many of them will , no doubt , honour the lodge with their presence on so auspicious an occasion .

* * To-morrow ( Saturday ) there will be consecrated , at the Freemasons' Hall , Newquay , the St . Michael ' s Lodge , No . 2747 , the last occasion on which such an event took place in ; the Provincejof Cornwall having

been in 1886 . The ceremony will be performed by Bro . E . Letchworth , F . S . A ., Grand Secretary , assisted by Bro . P . Colville Smith , G . D ., and others . The principal officers designate are Bros . Silas Rickeard , W . M . ; A . Hardwick , S . W . ; and C . C . Vigurs , J . W .
