MASONIC.
The Grand Lodge of Scotland and Recog-
milton of New South Wales.

The Grand Lodge of Scotland and Recog-
milton of New South Wales.
The grand lodge of Scotland, on ST. An
drew's day, has been the first to recognize
the newly formed grand lodge of New South
Wales. Such an act, says Noah's New York
Sunday Times, will speak more eloquently
than words to Scottish brethren belonging to
any of the ffty-seven lodges chartered for
that colony by the grand lodge of Scotland,
who still hold aloof from the new organiza-
tion and coupled with a similar kindly recog-
milton from the grand lodge of England,
affecting almost double the number of lodges,
will prove Enthusiastically and emphatically
to the NJ W. Bro. Lord Darlington, grand
master, and the members Of the grand lodge
of New South Wales that the home authori-
ties desire the separation to be thorough and
the union to be complete,
The telegram sent from the banquet, with
Sir Archibald Campbell, Bart, grand
master, in the chair, on behalf of the Scot
fish craft (by desire Of Lord Saltoun, j.
G. W., and through the medium of the grand
secretary, Bro. D. Murray Lyon, will be an
earnest to the brethren in New South Wales
that the recognition thus granted is given in
no grudging spirit, but with heart and soul,
as from members of the same great family.
