The minutes of the last regular Lodge and . a Lodge of Emergency having been confirmed , tho Auditors' report was submitted . Bro . Former P . M . was elected as Treasurer of tho Lodge , and Bro . J . P . Hutchinson was passed to the second degree . The installation
ceremony followed , Bro . Cooper J . W . being placed m the chair by his predecessor in office in a most exemplary mauner . The brethren having saluted tbe Master in the three degrees , the following were appointed as the other Officers for the year .- Bros . E . P . Forge P . M . S . W ., G . F . Snook J . W ., C . K .

Kingsland Lodge, No. 1693.
nomination of a candidate for 'initiation , the Lodge was closed , and the brethren repaired to the banquet room , where mine host had provided a really good menu . This was done ample justice to , and grace having been said , the toasts were given in due order . The health of the Queen and tho Graud Master having been drunk , the
W . M . gave the Pro Grand Master , the Deputy Grand Master , and the rest of the Grand Officers . Tho brethren comprised in this toast , he said , were a noble set of men , as was evidenced by many of them holding high offices in the State and in private life . The brethren of the Kingsland Lodge were particularly gratified in seeing among
them that day a Past Grand Officer of England , in the person of Bro . Greenwood . That brother ' s name was associated with the toast , and in duo course he responded . He thanked the brethren for the manner in which they had honoured the toast of the Grand Officers . Freemasons were to be congratulated in having at their head three
snch men as the Princo of Wales , the Earl of Carnarvon , and the Earl of Latbom . Bro . Greenwood paid a just compliment to the working of the first degree by tho new Master . When he was installed—somo 30 or 40 years ago—the ceremony of initiation was only undertaken , even by experienced Past Masters , with feelings of
trepidation . Now they saw a newly-installed Master conferring the degree on the day of his installation , in a most satisfactory manner . The working of this ceremony in a Lodge was very different to going through it in a Lodge of In . structiou . Iu the one , all those around the Master were
acquaintances , and it did not so much matter if a slip was made , but in the other there were usually a number of visitors who were anxious to criticise , besides which there was the novelty of the situation , and the nervonsness inseparable from a first presidency . The I . P . M . proposed the health of the Worship ful Master who , be said , had
worked hard ever since his initiation in the Lodge . Bro . Western then said , Bro . Cooper had deputed him to ask the brethren ' s acceptance of a silver gavel for the use of the W . M . for the time being . It was presented with the good wishes of Bro . Cooper , and in the hope that it would be of service to the Lodge . The gavel bore the following inscription : —
Presented to the Kingsland Lodge , No . 1693 , By Bro . J . COOPKR , W . M . October 1885 . Bro . Western was also deputed by Bro . Forge S . W . to present a
similar gavel for the Senior Warden ' s use . The brethren had already had evidences of Bro . Forge ' s gord feeling towards the Lodge ; he had given way—with his usual kindness—so as to allow Bro . Cooper to take the chair of the Lodge a year earlier than he would otherwise have done , and in many other ways had striven to help them . The Senior Warden ' s gavel was inscribed as follows : —
Presented to the Kingsland Lodge , No . 1693 , By Bro . R . P . FOUOE , S . W . October 1885 . The toast was heartilv received , and was acknowledged by the W . M
He thanked the brethren most heartily for all they had done for him in the Lodge . It was not five years since Bro . P . M . Hawkins had introduced him there . Ho well remembered on tho wny home from his initiation Brother Hawkins had said he should never be satisfied with him until he had attained the office of Ma « t a r . Bv their kindness
he had now risen to that dignity , and he hoped he had satisfied bis introducer and that he would give satisfaction to the members of tho Lodge . He then proposed the health of tho Initiates , referring specially to the pleasure it had afforded him to initiate his own brother that , day . Brother IT . G . Cooper tendered his hearty thanks for the way in
which he had been received in the Lodge , and hoped he might never give the brethren cau « e to regret admitting him . Brother Wilmore also thanked the brethren , and then the W . M . proposed the health of his predecessor in office—Bro . Western . He had proved himself to be one of the best Masters it was possible to have . He
had performed his work in a most creditable way and had finished up in the most gratifying manner by installing his snecessor . Bro . Cooper had much pleasnre in presenting to Brother Western a Past Master ' s jewel and he did so with the hearty wish of the members of
the Lodge that their Immediate Past Master would be spared to he among them for mauy years to come to give the Lodge the benefit of his advice , and , he doubted not , his assistance on many occasions . The Past Master ' s jewel bore the following inscription : —
Presented to BKO . N . L . WESTERN , by the members of tho Kingsland Lodge , No . 1693 , as a mark of esteem for services rendered , as W . M . 188-1-5 .
Brother Western tendered his thanks . Ho assnred the brethren he had done his best to conduct the affiirs nf the Lodge o their satisfaction . If he had really secured that satisfaction he was indeed proud . He considered it a great honour to havo been a Master of the Kingsland Lodge , which he felt snre was rising in pnblin
estimation . The W . M . next proposed the Visitors . He was lately present at a Lodge , sitting next to the Master , and remarked to h m . "You have no Visitors ? " " We do not want any , " said he . How different to their feelings in the Kingsland Lodge , where they not or 1 ¦ wanted Visitors , but did all they could to make them happy when th"y did
attend . Bro . Back replied . It had afforded him a great am mnt of pleasure to be present . He felt that day might well be reco'ded as a red letter day for tho Kingsland Lodge , the members of which had installed a worthy brother as their W . M ., while he had had the pleasure of initiating his own brother as liis fir-1 act in the chair . Bro .
Bayley followed . Ho was always pleased to attend a Lodge where 'he arrangements wore carried ont as efficiently as they had be <> n that day . Bro . Woodman , as an o'd Visitor , was especially gratified ou tho present occasion , as he then saw in the chair of the Lolg- a brother he had recently invested a 3 J . W . in the Lodge over which
