THE FREEMASONS AND THE POOR OF MARGATE .
ON Tuesday afternoon , the loth instant , the Union Lodge , No . 127 , Margate , entertained about two hundred of the aged and deserving poor of the town to dinner and tea in the Foresters' Hall . The idea of g iving the treat originated abont two months ago , atone of the meetings of the Lodge , and it was heartily endorsed by the Freemasons of the town , who , in token of their approval of such a
step being takeD , subscribed liberally towards defraying the expenses which it would involve . As a preliminary step , a certain number of tickets were sent to the vicars and the ministers of various denomi . nations iu the town , npon whom devolved the duty of selecting from among their parishioners and congregations tho most deserving cases .
A list of names were sent in from the various sources , and they were afterwards scrutinised by the Managing Commitee . This was a task of no ordinary kind , and it is almost needless to add that if twice tho number of tickets had been available , they could have been easily disposed of . Tho dinner consisted of roast beef , roast
legs of mutton , roast veal , hams , Christmas puddings , and mince pies , and there appeared to be an abundance of everything . Both for dinner and tea , the caterer was Mr . J . Hume , of High Street , who gave great satisfaction . The guests appeared to bo in tho best of spirits , and evidently appreciated the liberality and kindness
manifested towards them . We may remark thafc tho Committee of Management consisted of the following individuals : —Bros . H . Wootton W . M . ( Chairman ) , J . G . Henning P . M . ( Treasurer ) , W . Jones Lane S . W . ( Hon . Secretary ) , and all Pasfc Masters and Officers of the Lodge . The carvers were : —The Mayor ( Councillor H . F .

Healing , T . Goodyear , Spencer ( Beach Honse Hotel , Westgate ) , J . Thurston , J . Fagg , Phipps , and Col . Batnber . The ladies and gentlemen who attended
to tho wants of the guests were—The Mayoress ( Mrs . Hermitage ) , Mrs . Hindley , Bro . and Mrs . W . H . Newell , tbe Misses Chancellor , Bro . Block , Bro . S . Pointon , J . P ., Miss Pointon , Bro . E . L . Dixson and Mrs . Dixson , Bro . John Reeve , Bro . W . B . Reeve , Bro . W . J . Clarke and Mrs . Clarke , Bro . and Mrs . W . Bentley jnn ., Bro . J . H .
