Enoch Lodge ( No . 11 ) . —The last regular meeting for the season of this numerous and distinguished Lodge was held at the Freemasons' Tavern , on Wednesday , April 9 , when Bro . P . Binckes , W .

Rogers , of No . 228 , and Bro . Almieda , of Grand Lodge , Brazil ; thanking Bro . Rogers , whose Masonic ability is so well known , for his presence during the working of the Lodge as well as at the banquet , and expressed the pleasure felt by the Brethren , in seeing him and Bro .
