nual meeting of the Grand Lodge of Ancient
fTeemasons took place in the hall, corner of
MINI and ID streets, last evening.
Ine last year was one of unexampled pros u.
perry: Perfect harmony has prevailed. The
iong oeslred uniformity in work has been at
tanned in remarkable degree. The lodges
nave Geen steadily employed in careful inves-
ugauons into the character OF applicants and
the comforting of degrees; so that, while last
year the number of affiliated Masons was ,233
mere were now on the returns 1896.
Many years ago, one Of the most f1ourshing
lodges under this jurisdiction was columbia

cumstances, however, that lodge dissolved,
and the charter, stools, jewels, and 1mple-
ments, " were honorably restored TO the Grand
Lodge. A little band of venerable Masons now
came forward and memorialiZed the Grand
Lodge to return to them the charter, &c, with
view to resumption Of work under the old
charter. The request was unanimously grant.
ed, the return to be made to them on the ami.
versary of St John the Evangelist.

recommended, asked for new charter to be
granted to them, TO form new lodge, under
the title of liking Solomon's LODGE" which
was postponed until the December convoca-

The charities dispensed during the year have
kept pace with the accumulated receipts,
the aggregate being no less than 1926.
