10 THE EDITOB OP THE FREEMASONS' MAGAZINE AND MASONIC MIBBOB . _ Dear Sir and Brother , —Inasmuch as Bro . Melville has now expressed his willingness to submit his claims to "the eminent brethren who organized the Masonic Archaeological Institute , " as a member of the Institute I would respectfully urge the Council to consider the matter and report thereon .
As all the members of the Institute are Masons , I see no force in Bro . Melville's presumed objections on the part of the Council . Let a special meeting be called , and Bro . M .

Dear Sir and Brother , —I am a provincial Mason , and have for many years past taken an active part in promoting the good of the Order , and particularly in advancing the noble institutions that reflect so much credit upon English Freemasons . I have also been an attentive reader of the Magazinefrom the perusal

I do believe that our members , in common with a very large number of other country brethren , believed that the Zetland Testimonial had merged into the Inauguration Festival , and that , in sending up a representative , they were doing a proper honour to the G . M ., and they believed ( as I did ) that the two
affairs had been arranged by the wiseheads of the Zetland Commemoration Fund to come off together . One thing is certain ( however doubtful it may be whether the festival was in honour of the completion of the new buildings only or not ) that those who acted as Stewards were to have some very handsome
and appropriate jewel presented to them to commemorate the event . It is equally certain that up to this time not only has no such jewel been presented to me , nor has any other Steward , as far as I can ascertain , yet received his . The brethren down here , Sir , are now disposed to think the Inauguration Festival Committee has de-
