Notices Of Meetings.
in consideration , not onl y of his services as acting I . P . M ., but f ,-r W < kindness to the Lodgo and to the members . Bro . Lambert in made the Lodge Life Governor of the Boys' School , and tin members were to be congratuated on being supported by two snch veterans as the Worshi p ful Master and Bro . Lambert . Bro . Tilton
having seconded the motion , it was carried . Bro . Lambert sti the brethren had paid him a compliment which he had no right h expect . Hia opinion was , that whatever was taken up it should h done as well as possible if one expected to recoivo the meed oi praise . A vote of thauks would have beeu amolo , but to crown i ;
with tho vote of a jewel was more than ample ; ho accepted il with pleasure . Their kindness had found him quite unprepared , but it would always be his wish to do all he could for tho Lodge . They were doing a great service to this country if thoy could bind the bonds between it and America . They wished American brethren to know and feel that when a Mason came from tho other
side of the Atlantic he would be received in this Lodge , and would bo as well known to them as if he were in the bosom of his family . He hoped the Lodge would prosper in endeavouring to make firmer and firmer that bond of friendship . Some other matters of business having been disposed of , the Lodgo was closed . Tho brethren then
adjourned to refreshment , after which the Loyal and Masonic toasts received due honours . In proposing the toast of the Grand Officers the W . M . said it was one which the brethren nover failed to honour , inasmuch as they were the rulers of the Craft . The Grand Officers were the survival of tho fittest ,
practising those virtues which adorn Masonry and domestic life . Bro . Binckea P . G . Swd . Br . said the W . M . had taken him by surprise in asking him to respond , for amongst the Grand Officers present wan one preceding him in rank , and others his senior , and he therefore did not expect he should be paid that compliment . The W . M . was
nervous lest he ( Bro . Binckes ) should take the liberty of speaking at length , and exceed the speeches tho brethren were in the habit of hearing from the chair . Every one who knew their W . M . knew the powers with which he was gifted , and how ho could charm any audience he addressed ; he could say everything in favour of the
Grand Officers if ho eliminated himself from their number . Ho had heard the allusions in the Lodge to Bro . Lambert , to speak of whom would be like gilding refined gold . Bro . Lambert ' s actions spoko for themselves better than any words that could be used by the best friend he had . He would allude to Eev . Bro . Brownrigg , whoso services had
been valnnble , and who would continue to be nn ornament to the Order ; and to Bro . By water , who was well known to all and respected . He would say nothing for himself , for on " their own merits modoat men are dumb . " Bro . Major Lambert said he had the honour , which ho should never have again a 3 acting I . P . M ., of proposing the toast of
tne Worshipful Master . If ho had one regret it was that they would soon lose the services of Bro . Brackstone Baker as Master . Not that he would not be a member , and remain with them , for ho was sure he would cling to the Lodge . Ho was a perfect Master in the art of speaking , and had given them speeches with a great deal of acumen
and skill , and nothing conld be moro delightful than to sit under him as I . P . M . Bro . Brackstone Baker returned thanks . He had been considerably moved by the praises of tho I . P . M . On that occasion he felt as if he was reciting his own funeral oration , for it was the last meeting at which he should address them from
. the lofty eminence of the chair . Melancholy overcame him in thinking over his greatness , for he felt more than words could express . Ho came into office in March , like a lion , and was going out like a lamb . They could not sing "It is our opening day , " for a funeral dirge would be more appropriate . He should
have a good successor in Bro . Clark , who would no doubt put him to shame in the working . The Jews have a tradition that the Eabbis are born with a perfect knowledge of the Hebrew law , and in like manner Bro . Clark must havo been born with a perfect knowledge of the ritual . He had to apologise ,
for bis Masonic working was obsolete , it being 23 years ago since he initiated a candidate . It was like Bob Acres' courage , it oozed out at his finger ends . He had to thank them for their indulgence , which had enabled him to carry out the duties with some degree of credit to the Lodge during a very eventful period .
They had had an invasion of American breiiu'en , who had fraternised with them , and had established a unanimity which was one of the glories of their Lodge . Notwithstanding many difficulties , they had made their mark in the Masonic world , and their name would bo handed down . Ho had to thank them
for the cordiality with which they had received his health , aud for the various favours ho had received from time to time . Ho should always It > k back with pride and satisfaction to that portion of hia Jifo when he made a resurrection into Masonic Life through the Anglo-American Lodge . Tho
Sister Grand Lodges of tho United States was the next toast . It was gratifying to know that English Freemasons were on excellent relations with nearly all the American States . Masonry was ono of tho universal signs that finds its place iu every well iutentioned mind . He hoped that the Lodgo would constitute , in no small degree , a
fraternity between tho Lodges in America and England which could not help being solidified by its existence . Bro . Theo . H . Tilton P . D . G . M . Now York City replied . According to the latest statistics he had Keen , the Grand Lodges in the United States numbered 48 , with 10 , 000 Lodgc .-J , and a membershi p of nearly 700 , 000 Masons .
Tti-se figures would bo presented by tho Grand Master of New York City in ids address to the Grand Lodge on the 7 th June next , the " day fixed for tho C-mtenary Festival of the Girls' School . The Grand Secretary would receive a cablegram on that occasion from
the Grand Lodgo of the State of New York , congratulating His Eoynl Hig hness- the M . W . G . M . upon bringing together such a large number of Masom for so coed an object as the Girls' School . " With regt'vd to the Gotud Lodges of tho United States , he conld only say they had hailed with p : \ tisfnction tho appointment of Bro . Bakor to the clruV of the Anglo-American Lodge as ono of the beat th ' wsa thaG could possibly bo done . Bro . Baker represented mavo

Now one word with reference to the G rU ' School . Having accepted tho office of Steward , he trm-t ^ d the brethren of the Lodge would not see him go no without a substantial
list , and an amount worthy of them . Brother Gen . Grave- " , whom they recently entertained , had beeu pleased to place 10 guineas on his list , and Eev . Bro . Jewel , who represented the same Distrier , had also contributed a like sum . Bro . 'Jraves had likewise been (• leased to place at his disposal five guineas fur each of the other
Institutions . In conclusion , ho asked the members to assist in raising his Steward's list to 100 guineas . For '' The Visitors , " Bros . Bywater P . G . S . B ., Smith P . M ., and W . W . Morgan P . M . responded . The I . P . M ., Treasurer ;< nd Secretary , and the Officers , were the next , toasts . Their I . P . M . Bro . Lambert had lived to be a worthy a id
esteemed member ot Grand Lodge ; his voice was always heard with attentiou . There were also the worthy Treasurer an 1 Serrotary , who both worked hard . Bro . George Reynolds said thuy were now at the end of their first session ; still he thought he scare d y deserved the kind words which had fallen from their W . M . However he had worked
for the success of the Lod ^ e , anil felt he had not been unsuccessful . Ho should ever remember his visit to Bro . Brackstone Baker , wheu he waited on him to sign tho petition . Ho wat also indebted to Bro . G . Lambert for recommending the petition to Grand Lodge . The brethren would agree with him the Lolge was doing good work ,
although it was iu its infancy . His duties as Secretary had been laborious , but he had performed them with the greatest love . He was not an old Mason , but since he was introduced iuto the Order he had worked hard , aud should continue to do so as long as he had
health and strength . He had endeavoured to promote that great principle in the Lodge , of being happy himself and communicating happiness to others . Bro . Eev . J . S . Brownrigg P . G . Chap ., J . B . ICtunmiug Treas ., and A . Clark also replied . Tne proceedings soon afterwards closed .

New Concord Lodge of Instruction , No . 813 . —At the meeting of the New Cuucord Lodgo of Instruction , No . 813 , hald at the Jolly Farmers , Southgate-road , N ., on Wednesday , the 16 'hinst ., Bro .
