ISLE OF MAN . It has often been used as a word of reproach to the craft in Douglas that they have been too much divided , aud that the lodges ( the Atho ' l , 1004 , and the Tynwald , 1242 ) have not worked together in that spirit of harmonious concord by which they ought to have been animated . Happily that reproach has now passed away , and the good feeling and masonic unity
engendered by the course adopted by both lodges on the occasion of the installation of the Worshipful Masters elect will go far to strengthen and encourage the daily increasing respect and and admiration which masonry is earning' for itself in Douglas . The decision on the part of the lodges to have a joint banquet , and the result which that banquet has brought about , cannot fail to be in the highest degree gratifying , not only to the brethren of the " mystic tie , " but also to every person who
enjoys a little rational pleasure , and has a desire to benefit the cause of charity . But of this anon . The brethren of the Athol Lodge met at one o ' clock on Wednesday , Dec . 21 , when a recently-initiated brother was passed to the second degree . This ceremony completod , the lodge adjourned til ! four o'clock " , in order to enable the members to be present at the installation ceremonies of the Tynwald Lodge , 1242 , which assembled at two o ' clock in the Masonic Rooms , St . James' Hall , Athol-street .

Tyler . After an eloquent aud impressive address from Bro . Lofthouse ( tho installing master ) , the lodge was closed down , and the proceedings of the Tynwald lodge were brought to a harmonious end . At four o ' clock the brethren of 1004 re-assembled in their lodge room , when Brother Samuel Webb , S . W . was duly installed W . M . of the Athole lodge for the ensuing year , the installing master being Bro . H . P . Mayle , P . M . The W . M . then invested his officers thus : —Bro . Thos . Handley

excellent and substantial repast provided , to which we need hardly add tho brethren assauibled did ample justice . The usual loyal , masonic , and patriotic toasts wero proposed from the chair and vice-chair alternately , and responded to . An interesting discussion afterwards took place upon the subject of a masonic ball , which will be held within the next eight or ten weeks , the profits thereof to be handed over to one or more of the deserving local charities . A general expression favourable
to the proposal was elicited from the brethren , and it was resolved that it should take place within tho time stated , and that the price , including refreshments , should not exceed 7 s . 6 d .
