  We present the result of our computation of the lowest lying meson masses for
SU(N) gauge theory in the large $N$ limit (with $N_f/N\longrightarrow 0$). The
final values are given in units of the square root of the string tension, and
with errors which account for both statistical and systematic errors. By using
4 different values of the lattice spacing we have seen that our results scale
properly. We have studied various values of $N$ (169, 289 and 361) to monitor
the N-dependence of the most sensitive quantities. Our methodology is based
upon a first principles approach (lattice gauge theory) combined with large $N$
volume independence. We employed both Wilson fermions and twisted mass fermions
with maximal twist. In addition to masses in the pseudoscalar, vector, scalar
and axial vector channels, we also give results on the pseudoscalar decay
constant and various remormalization factors.
