— : o : — TYRIAN LODGE , No . 253 .
AT the last meeting of this Lodge , held 23 rd November , " at Derby , after the conclusion of the regular business , the W . M ., Bro . W . Silver Hall , rose and said : —Brethren , you may remember that among the property of this Lodge was an antique sword , or Highland clay , more , which not long since was in a very dilapidated condition . Tbe blade was buried in rust , the basket hilt , whioh was a beautiful piece
of steel work , was crushed nearly flat , either because some heavy weight had been dropped upon it , or possibly from its owner having sustained a fall from bis horse , and of the lining of the hilt nothing but a few moth-eaten threads remained . This has now been mosfc carefully and successfully restored and repaired at the expense of the
Officers of tbe Lodge , in whose name I now bave the pleasure of again presenting ifc to you . The hilfc has been raised to its old form , replated , and relined , the blade , on which appears the name of fche maker , Andrea Ferrara , has been burnished , and a sheath provided for its protection . Ferrara , as you may be aware , was a celebrated
swordsmith , Italian by birth , who settled at Saragossa , in Spain , in the early part of the sixteenth centnry . Specimens of his work are still pieserved in the Armoury at Madrid . The magnificent blades whioh were presented by Ferdinand to King Henry VIIL , on his marriage with Katharine of Arragon , were supplied by Ferrara ,
while his weapons had a special reputation among fche Highland clans . It is therefore not impossible that in this beautiful sword we have a relic of the visit to Derby of the Highlanders under Prince Charles Edward in 1745 . In our Minute Books , which extend in an unbroken series since 23 rd September 1788 , there is no record that
any such sword had been purchased by , or presented to , the Lodge . It is therefore probable that this beautiful weapon , which is afc least 350 years old , has belonged to the Lodge since its consecration in
1785 . If any brother , or friend , can throw any further light upon its history , we shall , I am snre , be only too pleased to hear from him . The sword , after having been passed round and greatly admired , was formally entrusted to the custody of the Tyler .
GOOD FELLOWSHIP LODGE , No . 276 . ON Thursday afternoon , 9 th insfc ., fche annual installation meeting was held at tho Corn Exchange , Chelmsford . The Worshipful Master Bro . W . Andrew C .

Chaplain , Langham S . D ., T . R . Jarvis J . D ., Andrew Durrant P . M . P . G . Treas .
Dir . of Cers ., T . Winniatfc Smith P . G . Org . Organist , Sarel Tyler . There was also a goodly attendance of P . M . ' s and members of the Lodge and visitors . The principal business of the evening was the installation of the W . M . elect Bro . Adolphns E . Maskell , which ceremony was impressively performed by the D . P . G . M . of the
Province V . W . Bro . Fred . A . Philbrick , Q . C , Grand Registrar , and afc its close the Worshipfnl Master invested the following brethren as his Officers : —Bros . Andrew 0 . Durrant P . G . J . W . I . P . M ., Wilson Metcalfe P . G . Steward S . W ., William Langham J . W ., Rev . F . B . Shepherd P . M . P . P . G . C . Chaplain , Frank Whitmore P . M . P . P . G . S . D .

Organist , Rymer Jarvis S . D ., James Tomlinson J . D ., Charles Williams I . G ., Frederick Smee and J . C . Creswell Stewards , Thos . S . Sarel P . G . Tyler Tyler . A hearty vote of thanks
having been accorded to the Installing Master , the W . M . was elected to represent the Lodge on the Essex Provincial Charity Committee . The Lodge also passed a hearty vote of thanks fco Bro . James Nichols P . M ., who has resigned the Secretaryship in consequence of leaving the town , after having held the office nine years ; and a similar
compliment was accorded Bro . J . W . Hair for the exemplary manner in which he had discharged the duties of Assistant Secretary during the same period . Lodge was then closed , and the brethren adjourned to the White Hart Hotel , where a re ' cherohe banquet was served by Mr . E . Panther Taylor , under the presidency of the newly-installed
W . M . After dinner the usual Loyal and Masonic toasts were proposed and duly honoured . In responding to the toasfc of his health , the V . W . D . P . G . M ., after thanking the brethren for their cordial reception , expressed his great regret thafc owing to being unable to leave his room this time lasfc year he had nofc the pleasure of
installing the I . P . M ., which , as the son of one of their oldest and most respected P . G . Officers , he shonld have bad so mnch pleasure in doing . Bro . Philbrick then congratulated the Lodge npon the large number of P . G . Officers present on this occasion , all of whom had done good work for Freemasonry in the Province . He feelingly alluded to the
loss they had all sustained in the death of Bro . Joshua Nunn . The very last occasion on which he ( Bro . Philbrick ) was amongst his Essex brethren was on the occasion of the installation of that worthy brother as first W . M . of their youngest Lodge . He had no doubt that at fche present time their minds had been exercised somewhat
as to what part Freemasons were to take in the celebration of Her Majesty ' s jubilee . He could assure them—and the P . G . Secretary would bear them out—thafc no one felfc more keen an interest in this matter than their P . G . M . Lord Brooke . Nothing , he believed , had really been decided on at present ; but , knowing he should be in
Essex that day , he had made some inquiries , and he believed he might tell them , without betraying any confidences , that it was the desire of H . R . H . the Grand Master to himself make some communication of his wishes on the subject . This communication would ,
no doubt , be shortly made ; and they , ns loyal citizens and Freemasons would , he was sure , gladly fall in with whatever their Grand Master desired . Other toasts followed , and some excellent vocal and instrumental music added to the pleasure of the evening . Among those present besides the Officers of the Lodge above mentioned were
