C . Lorkin S . W ., C . W . Smyth J . W ., W . H . Brand P . M . Treasurer , W . H . Lee P . M . Secretary , J . L . Payne S . D ., A . Ferrar J . D ., R . Polak I . G ., F . Bonner M . C ., G .

M ., who are acting as Stewards for the next anniversary Festival of that Institution . At the conclusion
of the business of the evening the brethren adjourned to the banquet room , where , under the presidency of the newly installed Master , a most enjoyable evening was spent . The customary loyal toasts having been given from the chair , Bro . Brasted I . P . M . proposed thafc of the Worshipful Master . He considered it the toast of the evening . If there was one thing whioh could gladden the heart
of a Master , after his having been elected unanimously to the chair , it was the prospeot of a bright future being before him . The speaker considered he might declare the Lodge as being in a prosperous condition ; he did' not mean as regarded its financial position alone , although in that respect they were to the front—they had a balanoe in hand , and had supported the Charities by a donation to
the Masonio Benevolent Institution—but also as regarded its social position . There was a good feeling and an amount of good fellowship among the members , which was an essential qualification in every Lodge , he hoped that the Master would enjoy a pleasant year of office , as he had worked hard for some time past to acquire a knowledge of the dnties , and had Qualified himself for the position .
After a song by Bro . Weige , the Worshipful Master replied . He appreciated the kindness of the members . He had been anxious to attain the position of Master for some time past , and he begged to thank the brethren generally for having elected him to the position so unanimously . Soon after his initiation he had felt a desire to attain the rank appertaining to the chair , and was now very pleased to say he had reached that distinction . He had particularly to thank
Bro . Brasted for the way in which he had installed him that evening . As long as he was in the chair he should do the best he could for the Lodge , and endeavour in every way to uphold its dignity . He next proposed the toasfc of the Installing Master . The members of the Lodge had had the opportunity of seeing his working for some time past , and were in a position to judge of the efficiency with whioh he carried out the duties of the chair . He was one of the
worthiest Masters the Lodge had had . The Worshipful Master considered that a very pleasing duty now devolved upon him—the presenting to his predecessor the Past Master's jewel which had been voted by the Lodge . In doing so he hoped Bro . Brasted would live long to wear it . He mnst not value ifc for its intrinsic merit only , but for the kind feelings which accompanied the gift . Bro . Brasted tendered his thanks . Twelve months since he first had the
opportunity of addressing the Lodge as its Worshipful Master . He then said he should endeavonr to carry out the dnties of the chair to the satisfaction of all . He had done all that lay in his power to fulfil his promise , and he hoped he had acted in a manner that had won the approval of the members . Ifc had been a very pleasant year of office to him , for two or three particular reasons—the Past
Masters had been ready and willing to render assistance at all times , he had been blessed with a good staff of Officers and , more particularl y , he had had the cordial co-operation of the brethren . Ho felt thai ; however good his intentions , they would have been of very little avail without the support of the members . He felt he must have given some satisfaction , or the members wonld not
have presented him with the handsome jewel he had just received at tho hands of the W . M . It would ever remind him of the pleasant year he had passed as Master of tho Duko of Connaught Lodgo . He hoped he mi ght bo spared for many years to be among them , aud always enjoy the kind feeling that was now evinced towards him . The Master next proposed tho health of the Visitors , to which Bros .
wallington and Fieldwick replied , availing themselves of the opportunit y thus afforded them of dilating on the merits of tho respective Lod ges of Instruction with which they wero connected . The toasfc of fcho Charities , given from the chair , was coupled with the name of Bro . Brand Treas ., who is joint Steward with tho W . M . for the Royal Masonic Institution for Girls , Tho Master in proposing ifc referred to
jne past services of the Lodge in the direction of Masonic benevo-Jeuce , and urged tho brethren to do all in their power to maintain the good name the Lod ge had already secured . The Master next f ? ave the toast of the Past Masters , who he designated a most nsofnl "My of men . They had each done well while ruling the Lodge , and since that time had given their assistance in every way that lay in tneir power . He referred more particularly to the working of each ,

nnd the part they took in tho conduct of the Lodge . Bro . Weigo , being called nnon for a song , favoured tho brethren with "Old Simon the Cellarer . " It was remarked by one of tho company that tho song was particularly applicable to the toast of tho Past Masters , as they doubtless " know whero many a flask of the bost does go . " Bro . Chapman replied . Uo felt that no mnster of tho
Lodge would over ask for assistance from Past Masters—so far as they were able to give it—which would not be given with the greatest cordiality . The toast of the Treasurer and Secretary was next given from the chair . The W . M . considered the brethren whoso health they were about to drink were really the hardest worked members of the Lodge . The Treasurer had a great , task to
accomplish in collecting the several amonnts due , while the Secretary , whose duties were to keep up the correspondence of the Lodge , had little , if any , less to devote his attention to . They fulfilled the duties of their respective offices most efficiently , and the members could but thank them for their services . Bro . Brand tho Treasurer was the first to reply . He thanked the Master and
brethren for their reception of the toast . The W . M . had said that the duties of the Treasurer were somewhat onerous . Although there might bo somo labour attached to the office , he might say he looked upon it as a labour of love , more particularly when ifc was carried out in connection with tho Duke of Connaught Lodge . Bro . Leo followed . He had been associated with the Lodge sinoe its
consecration , which took place at Dalston seven years since ; there were now bnt three or four of the founders left , and as one of them he thought tho brethren who had established the Lodge could shew by its present position some little proof of care and attention during the earlier years of its existence . Like all other institutions ifc had experienced some of the drawbacks , and had suffered from some of the ills of infancy , but ifc was , he thought , now in a most satisfactory
condition . He felt ifc was not so much a monetary balance thafc was required to prove the efficiency of a Lodge , but rather the existence of a good feeling among the brethren associated with it , who should act ; in a way towards eaoh other likely to prove them regular practitioners of all that was taught by the ritnal of the Order . The toasfc of the Officers was heartily received , and acknowledged by the two Wardens , after whioh the Tyler was summoned , and he brought the proceedings to a conclusion .
