Masonic Festivities.
Past Master to render the festivities of the day worthy of the Friendly Lodge , its founders , and successors . Several times an attempt was made to take a photograph of the procession , but from the immense concourse it was found impossible to do so . On the front , of the Commercial Hotel a banner of "bout 30 ft . was erected ,
inscribed" Hail , Masonry , thou Craft divine Hail sacred Art by Heaven designed . " The brethren felt very keenly the absence of their Worshipful Master , from whose recent domestic affliction he was unable to participate in the festival , an event to which he had looked forward with some degree of leasure .
p The proceedings were brought to a close ( as far as the brethren appearing abroad ) within the lodge at 6 p-m ., and half an hour being afforded for the assembling of the guests , the Worshipful Past Master sounded the gavel at half-past seven and took the chair at the head of the festive board , on his right was the Worshiful Bro . G . Lyon , and on his left Captain
p Bodgers of the 3 rd W . I . Eegiment . The west end of the table was occupied by the Worshipful Senior Warden , Bro . Phillpotts Brown . Ample justice was done to a well laid table , and as the wine was spilt , so went round wit and cheerfulness . The toasts were enthusiastically received , and so well was the banquet presided over , that unbounded satisfaction was expressed on
all sides , the Worshipful brother who presided on the occasion really took the Lion ' s share as he had promised , he was equal to everything he either undertook upon himself or that was forced on him . Tho party terminated after the singing of the National Anthem at 11 o'clock , delighted with tho proceedings of the day . There has been but one opinion expressed
throughout the place , that great credit is due to the officers of the Friendly Lodge , and especially the festival committee , for rendering the event so auspicious . Indeed had they done one thing more they certainly would have done too much .- —Jamaica Advertiser-
Oliver Memorial.
OLIVER MEMORIAL .
Two movements have been set a—foot for perpetuating the memory of the late Bro . Dr . Oliver ; and both are deserving of the support of the Craft . The successor of the late brother to the living of South Hykeham , the Rev . J . J . Reynolds , although not a JIason , considering that no more fitting memorial could be raised to the departed brother than one in connection with the Church in which he so long and zealously laboured ;
suggested that as the Church was to be restored , the Craft should subscribe a sum of money sufficient to put in one or more painted windows , which could be done at a cost of £ 25 each . The suggestion is a good one and as such it had from the first , not only our entire approval but will continue to receive our zealous support . The other memorial to which our attention has only recently been called , is cf a more ambitious nature ; but not the less worthy of support on that account . It is we learn
proposed to institute a scholarship in connection with one of the Masonic Schools . The idea is also a good one , but whilst approving of it , we do not think that the suggestion of the Rev . J . J . Reynolds should be allowed to slumber , and that those brethren who are desirous of doing honour to the memory of Bro . Dr . Oliver , who has deserved so well of all the Craft , will not allow it to languish for the want of the lew pounds asked of them . The R . W . the D . G . JI . we perceive is a subscriber to both the
lists , and we doubt not a large number of brethren will agree with us that both movements deserve support . We are quite sure that whilst the sum for at least two windows will he speedily raised , the larger sum necessary to endow a scholarship , say £ 1 , 000 , will also be forthcoming , which , had greater publicity been given to the movement , would ' ere this have been raised . AVe cannot but say that the neglect in not giving notice to the
Craft of the intended memorial through the medium of the MAGAZINE is censurable , for we are sure that many brethren would have gladly given their mite , had they known of the movement which they will now only learn of for the first time .
