The annual dinner of the West Smithfield Lodge of Instruction took place at the lodge rooms , Farringdon Hotel , Farringdon-strcet , on Tuesday last . We beg to call the attention of our readers to the Annnal Ball of the Burdett Coutts Lodge on Tuesday night at Cannon-street Hotel , E . C , under the patronage of the Baroness Burdett-Coutts , who it is hoped will be present . Full particulars are given in our advertisement columns .
The St . Marylebone Lodge , No . 1305 , now meets at the Langham Hotel on the second VVednesday in February , April , June , October , and December , and the St . Marylebone Chapter at the same place the second VVednesday in January , Alay , and November .

Hilda Lodge , No . 240 , held in the Freemasons ' Hall , South Shields , Bro . J . H . Thompson , W . AL , read a circular from Bro . Robt . Hudson , P . G . Sec , drawing attention to the effort now being made by H . R . H . the Prince of Wales , Grand Alaster , to establish a college of music .
After a brief conversation the lodge voted the sum of two guineas towards the object in view .

A select ball was given by the Rose Lodge , No . 1622 , on Friday at the Freemasons' Hall . Bro . Louis Beck conducted a capital band , and dancing was enjoyed until an early hour . Over 200 brethren and ladies partook of an elegantly-served supper , well superintended by Bro . Dawkins .
On the 5 th inst . Bro . Roberts , P . M . 209 and 742 , P . P . G . D . Berks and Bucks , and Airs . Roberts , superintendent and matron of the West London District School , were presented by the officials of the school with an address and testimonial , upon ther resignation and appointment to the situation of superintendent and matron of the Sutton District Schools . The presentation was made bv Bro .

A most successful " First Ladies' Ni ght" in connection with the Epping Forest Musical Society took place at the Royal Forest Hotel , Chingford , on Saturday last , and was largely attended by an appreciative audience . The programme was varied and interesting , and the
arrangements generally reflect the highest credit on those who have carried them out . Alasonry seems to have indentified itself very closely with all that concerns the Royal Forest Hotel . The president of the Alusical Society is Bro . Alfred Buck , VV . M . of the Chigwell Lodge ( the well-known publisher of Hansard ) , and the vice-president is Bro . T . B . Gale of the Licensed Victuallers' Gazette . Amonirst the
list of members we also find the names of manv well-known brethren . VVe congratulate Bro . Gordon 011 ' this and all his other efforts to increase the pleasant associations always surrounding this charming place of resort . As a symptom of the vigorous condition of Freemasonry in York we may mention that a movement is on foot to secure the establishment of a third lodge in this
ancient centre of the Craft . All over the country , in fact all over the world , Freemasonry is making extraordinary and unprecedented progress , and in York its vitality is being well exemplified . Some of the very earliest records of Freemasonry are preserved in this city , which is said traditionally to have been the birthplace of the art , and during the last and present centuries many lodges have
been formed and worked in York . The present York Lodge was formed in 1777 , and was then called the Union Lodge , but changed its title in 1 S 70 to York . The Eboracum Lodge was formed in 1 S 7 G . Both lodges are exceedingly prosperous , and are doing good work for the Masonic Charities . A petition for a third Iodge ( has been recommended by both the existing lodges , and has been forwarded
to head quarters . Its title , we understand , will be the Agricola Lodge , the Emperor Agiicola having been a great patron of the building art during his residence here , and having contributed largely to the fame of the Roman city of Eboracum , the magnificence of whose public buildings won for it the appellation of "Altera Roma . "— Yorkshire Gazette .
The Fifteen Sections will be worked in the Alerchant Navy Lodge of Instruction , No . 7 S 1 , of which Bro . J . H . Pringle , S . D . 781 , is the Preceptor , and Bro . C . Breden , P .

As a symptom of the vigorous condition of Freemasonry in York we may mention that a movement is on foot to secure the establishment of a third lodge in this
ancient centre of the Craft . All over the country , in fact all over the world , Freemasonry is making extraordinary and unprecedented progress , and in York its vitality is being well exemplified . Some of the very earliest records of Freemasonry are preserved in this city , which is said traditionally to have been the birthplace of the art , and during the last and present centuries many lodges have
been formed and worked in York . The present York Lodge was formed in 1777 , and was then called the Union Lodge , but changed its title in 1 S 70 to York . The Eboracum Lodge was formed in 1 S 7 G . Both lodges are exceedingly prosperous , and are doing good work for the Masonic Charities . A petition for a third Iodge ( has been recommended by both the existing lodges , and has been forwarded
to head quarters . Its title , we understand , will be the Agricola Lodge , the Emperor Agiicola having been a great patron of the building art during his residence here , and having contributed largely to the fame of the Roman city of Eboracum , the magnificence of whose public buildings won for it the appellation of "Altera Roma .
