Masonic Festivities.
MASONIC FESTIVITIES .
SCOTLAND . DUNDEE . —St . John's Eve . —For many years past the Festival of St . John—coming so close to the great gatherings of St . Andrew ' s—was considered tedious and uninteresting , especially by those in office ; the routine toasts and speeches consequent thereon , with the turmoil of sending and receiving deputations , became almost dreaded by the more active members of the
Craft in this place , and a better era was looked for , which now may he said not only to have dawned upon us , but to have shone with considerably brilliancy . Last year tbe lodges agreed to hold this festival in an aggregate form , which was very successfully carried out , in the Corn Exchange Hall , under the able presidency of the now Grand Master , Bro . the Et . Hon . Earl of Dalhousie ; and this year the same arrangements were to a certain extent repeated , only differing in the president . Again the
Craft of Dundee have heen honoured by one high in office and in rank , viz ., the Eight Honourable Bro . Sir John Ogilvy , M . P . A lodge was opened under one of the charters in the Hall , and lodges 47 , 49 , 78 , 225 , 254 , and 317 were present . Tbe business of the festival was thereafter proceeded with in a very orderly and happy manner , many of the brethren contributing by song and sentiment . The general impression seems now to be that the great success of this maimer of celebrating the festival may be taken as a guarantee that in future it will be the rule . The lodge was closed about half-past eleven , amid the evident tokens of pleasure ancl delight from all present .

EEIUM . MASOKET IN AMERICA . —A novel ceremony was performed in one of the Masonic Lodges of New York city a short time ago . It was the conferring of what are known as the Degrees of the Eastern Star , or adoptive Masonry , upon about two hundred ladies , who were the wives , daughters , sisters , or widows of Master Masons . Two Past Grand Masters of New York State were present and assisted at the ceremony , and the Master of the Lodge stated that "he would hereafter labour in tbe Grand Lodge of
New York to have it use its greatest influence with the Grand Lodges of the world for the purpose of having some token brought into being , and generally recognised , by which wives , sisters , daughters , widows , and mothers of Masons may make themselves known all over the world . In this he intended no infraction of Masonic law , but he did mean that when such relatives of Masons were in distress they should he known without carrying their datives' diploma in their pocket . "
