WHIP AND SPUR. 
S»,— -I have not been able to see your excellent paper for some 
weeks ; and I had determined not to trouble you with any more 
remarks, as, of course, cruel men and cruel women may refuse to listen 
to the arguments of their victims ; but your correspondent of last week 
is evidently of such a different nature from the “ Amicus ” and the 
" Anti-humbugs " (whose letters showed how cruelly they tormented 
the animals subject to them), that, should you kindly give these remarks 
insertion, I have some hopes of persuading her that she is mistaken as 
to the use of the spur, and of Inducing her to cease from using it under 
ordinary circumstances. I say under ordinary circumstances, because 1 
am well aware that the spur is sometimes necessary — that it was neces- 
sary in the instance your correspondent notices. I must not weary you 
by entering at length, again, into all the arguments against the use of 
the spur by ladies ; just let me mention the chief ones. 
I. — The whip is found to be sufficient in roost cases, by the expe- 
rience of the large majority of fair equestrians. 
II. — The spur can only be used by ladies on one side of the horse, 
ami is, t hove fore, of no use in many cases of obstinacy. 
III. — The pain, or the fear of pain, on one side causes the horse to 
move in an uneven manner, very uncomfortable to the rider. 
I\'. — This makes a more frequent and more severe use of the whip 
necessary. 
V. — The spur is certainly painful to the horse. 
Till some spur-champion i9 found to refute what has been said with 
respect to the first four or these, it will not be necessary to go over old 
ground. “ Diana " says — (1 quote from memory) — “ that no lady would 
use the spur unless it was really necessary." This assertion makes it 
necessary lor mo to say a few words in support of my fifth argument. 
In the tlrst place, Sir, allow me, with all deference, to dispute the truth 
of the assertion. I could, from my own experience, give accounts 
which would, doubtless, shock " Diana," “ Amy," and all women with 
the ordinary feelings of their sex ; but I prefer going npon the testi- 
mony of men and women. Which of your readers forgets the buck- 
some glee with which " Annie " mentioned, ns one of the spur’s chief 
uses, that “ it would make a tired horse carry its rider home in time to 
give an hour for a ravishing toilet? " Who forgets the account given 
by another of your correspondents of the blood streaming down the side 
of the splendid horse (who showed no laziness or obstinacy) from the 
cruel use of the spur by its beautiful and youthful rider ? Will 
“ Diana " assert, that “ no lady would use the spur unless it was neces- 
sary ? " But Sir. 1 admit that, with the majority of ladies, this state- 
ment, in its bare literal sense, is correct ; but even then, the inference 
drawn from it, that the spur is not painful to the horse, unless he 
behave ill, is false. In the same sense it would be true to say that no 
lady uses her whip unless it is necessary ; and yet nineteen Indies out of 
twenty almost ceaselessly touch their horses with the whip which they 
would shrink from using. So, most certainly, would the large majority 
of those ladies who arm their heels with the torturing spur, which they 
would hate to use with any degree of force, continually touch the horse 
with its sharp points. I need hardly say that the touch — how slight 
soever — of the spur in the tenderest part of a horse’s body, is very 
painful. There are doubtless some ladies — very, eery few — who never 
touch the horse with the whip unless it is necessary ; and so there would 
be some — very, very few, too — who would never touch the horse with the 
spur unless it was necessary. But even in this case, the happiest far 
that could fall to the lot of a horse ridden by a “ fully equipped" lady, 
the continual fear of so severe an instrument as the 9pur would very 
nearly. If not quite, amount to pain. I know, Sir, thut where the conve- 
nience or pleasure of the lady is concerned, it may seem absurd to talk 
of the horse's pain ; but in this case 1 am quite sure that the lady could 
Jose no enjoyment. Am I, therefore, wrong in endenvouring to save us 
some suffering ? Besides, Sir, I am sure that “ Diana ” is not indifferent 
to the feelings of her horse ; nay, for this very reason I am desirous, if 
possible, to get her to change her mind. The letters of “ Annie" were 
so awfully cruel that few, if any, Indies could read them with anything but 
disgust ; ami I can quite believe that they did us, on the whole, more good 
than harm, but there is so much humanity in " Diana's " letter that 1 fear 
many ladies may be induced to follow her advice. Let them, Sir, pause 
before they do so— let them side with the whip — let them use it when 
necessary— let them not hesitate from anything wherein their happiness 
is concerned — but let them consider well whether it is necessary for 
their enjoyment before they bind upon their heels the instrument 
which, with its most sparing use, must cause us pain and suffering. It 
might have been, Sir, ordered by Providence that those ladies whoso 
eyes these words may reach, should have been born to work, to suffer, 
and to die for the pleasure of the human race ; it might have been their 
lot to feel the pain of the whip and spur instead of to inflict it ; if it had 
been so, they would have understood the fervour of this appeal ; as it 
is, let them thank God for what they see, and spare, as far ns may be, 
those less happy creatures whose lives arc spent and shortened in their 
service. 
I am, Sir, with many thanks for past favours, and many apologies 
for this fresh infliction, your very obedient servant, 
A DiuaOTOM Lady's Riding Horse.

Lodge of Joppa, 225. —The members of this very numerous and 
excellent lodge resumed their Masonic avocations on Monday week, 
postponed from the llrst Monday, the usual day of meeting, in come- 
uueiicc of what is termed a "white fust," among the Jews, the majority 
of its members being of that persuasion. There were three candidates 
for initiation, Messrs. Wade, Drucker, and Oakley ; there wore also 
present six Brothers for the purpose of being raised to the sublime 
degree of a Muster Mason, viz.. Brs. A. Isaacs, II. Bokerwitz, S. 
Proostwyk, S. B. Gompertz, J. Abrahams, and Lyons of Birmingham. 
the ceremonies of Initiation and raising being performed by the W.M. 
Ilr Jones, in a manner highly creditable to the lodge and the craft in 
general. At the conclusion of business, the Brethren adjourned from 
labour to refreshment, which was exceedingly good -thanks to >the 
Stewards, Brs. Lowln ami Albert. The toasts of The Queen and Craft 
-The Earl of Zetland, W.U.M -and The Deputy Grand Master, the 
Earl of Yarborough, Ac., having been received with the usual de- 
monstrations. the health of the Initiates was proposed, for which Br. 
Oakley returned thanks, in which ho said that, "having heard much or 
Masonry, he hud long desired to become one amongst them ; but ins 
business avocations requiring his presence at various parts of the world, 
he thought that that might he a bar to his entering so excellent an 
order. He was, however, glad to find that such was not the caso, lor 
as a bird of passage, he was now convinced that Ids association witn 
Masonry would materially assist his progress through that portion or 
the globe where Freemasonry is known.” Br. Canstutt returned thanks 
for the prosperity of the Benevolent Fund, to which ho called the 
attention of Brethren, exhorting them not to relax their exertions to 
make this fund worthy any institution in the country. It had been 
unfortunately proved that some of the recipients of various charities 
had been os well positioned as any Brother present, and had largely 
subscribed to the very charities they afterwards were compelled to 
receive assistance from. They hail upwards of t400 in hand, which had 
been raised by the spontaneous donations of brethren. It was intended, 
not only to assist the distressed and decayed member, but also tbo 
widow and orphan ; it even extended to a marriage portion for a 
Mason's daughter, should such be required. Br. Philip BoyfUs acknow- 
ledged the healths oi the P.M.'s in his usual elegant style, and Br. 
Henry Lyons, S.W., returned thanks for the officcrsof the lodge, and 
took the opportunity of hinting to the Brethren the impropriety of 
abruptly quitting the table while the W.M. was still officiating.* The 
visitors were, Brs. Davis, J. Davis, W.M . No. 247 ; A. 1*. Monde*, 
No. 539; Lehman, W.M., No. 73; Abraham Pinto, from Jamaica; 
G. F. Taylor, No. 25 ; and J Herman, \V M.. 218,— who, by the bye, 
returned thanks for the visitors in an excellent speech, in which he 
adverted to the pleasing fact that the Great Architect of the Universe 
had. in his infinite mercy, spared nil the members of the three lodges, 
during the late fatal epidemic, in which they all felt a peculiar interest ; 
the lodges alluded to being the Joppa, Israel, and Tranquillity, the 
aggregate number of their members being somewhere about 250. Wo 
must not omit to mention that each of the new Initiates gave a donation 
to the Benevolent Fund, and the Brethren separated at an early hour, 
after spending a most delightful evening. 
Lodge of Fidelity, No 3 —This lodge held Its llrst meeting for the 
season at the Freemasons' Tavern, on Wednesday, October 11 with 
goodly assemblage. The business of the lodge was merely of a formal 
character, which having been disposed of, the Brethren sat down to 
discuss the merits of an excellent banquet, which was admirably pre- 
sided over by the W.M. Br. lleckncl). The Past Masters present were. 
Brs. Williams (Treasurer), Dearsley, J. Squires (Secretary), Grant, ami 
Heath, the immediate P.M. A most pleasant evening was passed, 
which was enhanced by some excellent singing, tho vocal powers of 
several members of the lodge being of no ordinary character,— among 
which wo may instance Brs. Dearsley, Beckett, and Qrnut) Br. G. F. 
Taylor presiding at the pianoforte. 
St. Mary's Lodge, No. 70. — This lodge called a meeting of emergency 
on Thursday, the 5th of October, which was presided ovor by tho W.M. 
Brother Skelton, for the purpose of passing a resolution of condolence 
towards the widow and family of tho late P.M. Brother Watts, tho 
printer of tho London Casrtte.' There was a large attendance of Brethren 
to do honour to the memory of their late and much-esteemed Brother. 
St. John's Lodge, No. 198— Tho membors of this excellent suburban 
lodge assembled at the Holly Bush Tavern. Hampstead, on Tuesday last, 
for the purpose of installing tho Master Elect, Brother Thompson. The 
meeting was a very numerous one, there being no It', than eight I’.M.'s 
present. Brother Thomas Adams, the lnnnoaiuto P.M., went through 
the ceremony of the installation in a most impressive manner. This 
beautiful ceremony was never in bettor hands, and he richly deserves 
the testimonial which is proposed to he presented to him by the mem- 
bers of the lodge. The installed Master appointed Brothers Aldridge 
and Hazard S.W. and J.W., Brothers Johnson and Wesson N.l), and 
J.D., Brother Wliittet I G., and Brother Johnson Treasurer, vice Bro- 
ther Paxton, resigned. After lodge business the Brethren partook of a 
splendid banquet, to which ample justice was done. 
[Since writing the above, we have to record the demise of Br. Row- 
botham. Provincial Grand S.l). for Hertfordshire, who was on honorary 
member of the St.John's, by whose members he was most respected, and 
by many of whom lie was followed to the last resting-place Amongst 
them we observed Brs. Wliittet Smith. Hazard, Ac., and Br. P.M.'s 
Shurv, T. Adams, and Paxton. He lies in Hampstead old church. Peace 
to his manes !] 
Old Concord and St. James's Lodges of Instruction.—' The aunU&l 
banquet of these Lodges of Instruction took place at l!r. Fttimpton'*, 
Westmoreland Arms, Georgc-street, Portmnn square, on Momlny 
evening last There was an excellent muster of brethren present, who 
were presided over most ably by P.r Kennedy. W.M. of the old 
Concord. The entertainment was all that could be desired, and the 
brethren departed at an early hour, much pleased with their meeting. 
Lodob of United Strength, No. 270, Br. Alfred Tilt, W.M. This 
flourishing lodge held its first monthly meeting since the vacation at 
the Gun Tavern, Pimlico, on Tuesday, the 10th instant, when 
Br. Cooper, P.M., went through the ceremonies of passing and raising 
in a highly creditable manner. Tlic business of the lodge being con- 
cluded, the brethren retired to a banquet provided by the host, 
Br. Rackstraw, in liis usual style of excellence. Among the visitors 
wasBr. W. Watson, of the Freemasons' Tavern, who at all times is 
anxious to serve the cause of Masonry. After spending a most har- 
monious evening the meeting was adjourned until tho first Tuesday in 
November. 
Enoch Chapter, No. 11.— This Chapter resumed its meetings at the 
Freemasons' Tavern on Tuesday last, the 14th instant, for tlic purpose of 
installing Principals— they being Companions George William, / , Simp- 
son, H., and Young, J. Companion Temple was elected P.S., who 
appointed Companions Kennedy ami Gurton his assistants. The most 
able and indefatigable Companion P. Mathews was re-elected S.K. Br. 
Maney, of Lodge Concord, was exulted to the supremo degree of Arch- 
Masonry, after which the Companions adjourned to a splendid banquet, 
served in the excellent stylo this tavern is now famous for. The usual 
toasts and speeches followed, interspersed with some good singing by 
Companions Crew, Davis, Bird, and G. F. Taylor, who presided at the 
pianoforte. Companion Crew returned thanks for the visitors in his usual 
eloqueut style, in which he took the opportunity of adverting most 
feelingly to the almost sudden death of Mrs. Crook, the excellent matron 
of the Female School, who, although nearly 7* years of age, was in appa- 
rent good health until within a few hours of her decease. Sho has left 
a blank not easily filled up. She was heart and soul devoted to the cause 
of this charity, and carried with her to the “ undiscovered country " 
the prayers and blessings not only of the orphan, but of all tho brethren 
of the order by whom sho was known, several other toasts followed, and 
the brethren separated early, in perfect harmony. We forgot to mention 
that amongst the visitors "were Companions G. Bigg, of Grand Lodge. 
Francis Crew, secretary of the Fern. School, Thomas Vesper, of the Yar- 
borough, &c. 
Fidblity Lodge op Instruction. No. 3-—' The annual banquet of

craft. Tho Lodge of Instruction is held at tho Yorkshire Grey Tavern, 
London-street, Fitzroy-square. 
Chapter op Instruction, Bb. Sheen's, Sussex Stores, Long Acre. 
—We direct attention to the important fact announced abovo. A Chapter 
of Instruction in this locality has long been wanting, and we trust that 
Companions will attend as often as compatible with their business avo- 
cations. It is scarcely necessary to say more in favour of the knowledge 
to be obtained here, than to mention that Companions W. Watson and 
Goring arc its patrons. 
Dn. G. F Taylor Intends holding for his benefit a madrigal and glee 
concert, of a convivial character, among gentlemen only, at tbo George
