rjlHE members of this Lodge having agreed to a resolution that the ¦ * - Lodge should bo removed from its present qnartors at the Welsh Harp , are just now without a regular home , and the installation meeting falling on Saturday last it was deemed desirable to apply for a dispensation , which was granted , and enabled them to meet in the city at Anderton ' s Hotel , Fleet Street . Most of the
members of the Heudon Lodge are associated with other Lod ges meeting under Bro . Cleraow's roof , and they were , as a consequence , quite at home in their temporary quarters , which will probably be adapted as the future home of the Heudon Lodge . The proceedings of the day were carried out under the presidency
of Bro . A . H . Scurrah Worshipful Matter , who waa well supported by Officers , lay members and visitorp . The dispensation allowing the meeting having been read , Bro . W . W . Langley the former Senir Warden , who was initiated , passed and raised in the Royal Savoy Lod

September 1893 . " Following the closing of the Lodge the company sat down to the iastallation banquet , after whioh the customary touata wero given
aud acknowledged . Bro . A . H . Scurrah proposed the health of the Worshipful Master , describing him as a Mason who had really earned the good opinion and the esteem of every member of the Lodge . He had worked up in each office from that of Inner Guard , and the satisfactory way in whioh he bad performed his dutiea in the minor offioea induced them
to believe he would excel in the higher one . He waa one they could fully appreciate and rely on , and it was with that feeling they had installed him in the chair of the Lodge that night . He had great pleasure in wishing him success , aud felt convinced he would leave nothing undone to secure the future success of the Lodge . In reply the Worshipful Master tendered hia most hearty thanks , both to tho
Immediate Past Master for tho way in whioh he had proposed the toaat aud to the brethren for their reception of it . He had for many years past been striving to reach the proud position he bad attained that evening and fully appreciated the kindness of the brethren whioh had placed him at the head of the Hendon Lodge . They hnd been good enough to elect him to the office unanimously and he should do
his utmost to make hia year of office in the Lodjje as successful aa possible . He looked forward to some busy times in the Lodge , aa waB evidenoed by the fact that one member alone had handed in five propositions for new membership . He Bhould do his utmost for the Heudon Lodge , and , feeling anre he might rely on the assistance of the members , was fairly confident as to the result .
The toast of the Installing Master was next given from the chair , the healths of the other Past Masters being coupled . The Installing Master , Bro . Arthur Scurrah , could not be t ) o highly apokeu of , while it was very difficult to adequately thank the other Past Masters for what they had done . It was really a privilege to preside over suoh a Lodge as theirs , and he only hoped he might prove as
successful as those who had preceded him in the high office of Master . He Bhould certainly strive to emulate hia predecessor , and really hoped he mig ht be able to instal his successor aa he had been installed that night ; but it was not only on that occasion Bro . Scurrah had excelled —he was indeed a marvel as an Officer , and had been very busy during the period of bis presidency . Then they had their older Past
Master , Bro . W . A .. Scurrah , who was universally loved twl rcppwlvd in the Lodge , for which he had done very mach in the p-wt . Anuug the others he had to rofer to were Bros . Lewis and Nuttiuglnti ' , < x \\ o had each taken a share in securing for the Lodge its presort repu ution and position .
