Reports Of Masonic Meetings.

BLACKLEY . —Wilton Lodge ( No . 1077 ) . —The regular monthly meeting of this lodge was held on Monday , the 6 th inst ., at the Red Lion Hotel . There were a large number of brethren and many visitors present , including Bros . J . W . Shaw , W . M . ; T . Hoppord , P . M .: J . W . Lloyds , S . W . ; Thos . W . Foxcroft , J . W . ; D . Winfield , Sec ; Joseph Parker , J . D . ; J . M . Horsfield , I . G . j R .

Campbell , P . M . ; J . B . Kendall , P . M . ; J . Thompson , P . M . ; J . Bridgeford , P . M . ; C . VV . Godby , P . M . ; George Holroyd , G . T . •Lenard , J . Williamson , W . Wadsworth , F .

Merry , 2 SS j VV . Wilkinson , 44 ; and

G . S . Smith , P . M . 1134 . The lodge was opened by the VV . M ., and the minutes of the previous meeting read and confirmed . Bro . R . Caldwell , P . M ., P . P . G . D . C , then took the chair , and proceeded to pass Bro . W . H . Lowry , which ceremony was performed in his customary manner , which is almost beyond criticism . The W . M . again resumed the chair , and proceeded to raise

Bro . C . B . Taylor , M . D ., to the Third Degree . This ceremony was also well conducted , and reflects great credit upon the W . M . At the completion of the ceremony , all were anxiously awaiting with great interest , and the subsequent proceedings probably accounted for there being so large a number of brethren present . It was proposed by Bro . J . Bridgeford , P . M ., seconded by Bro . Godby , P . M ., and

supported by several P . M . 's , that a jewel be presented to Bro . R . Caldwell , P . M ., P . P . G . D . C . This was unanimously carried , and recorded on the minutes . In making the presentation , Bro . J . Bridgeford said it gave him him very much pleasure indeed to ask Bro . Caldwell to accept this handsome jewel , not as a recognition of services rendered only , but as a memento of the gratitude

of the members of the lodge to one who has shown such a continued interest in its welfare . He had known him personally over 37 years , 25 of which he had been a close companion as a Mason , and during all that extended time he had always found him just and upright , an honest man and a thorough Mason . They all thanked him for the great services he had rendered to the lodge for so many

years past as D . C , and , although he had thought it best to resign that important position , yet he trusted they should have his presence amorigst them regularly , to render any assistance they might require . He trusted that he might be spared long to wear that jewel , and when looking upon it might ever remember that it was presented to him for the great love and esteem the members of the lodge had for

him . Pro . Caldwell ( who evidently felt overcome with emotion ) said they really must excuse him making any remarks that night , as it was such a . surprise , and had come upon him so unexpectedly ; but he wouid simply thank them one and all , and at a future date would say more . It was ' proposed by Bro . Stopford , P . M ., and seconded

by Bro . Thompson , that a letter of condolence be sent to the widow and family of the late Bro . G . Stringer , expressing their regret at the great bereavement which had befallen them . All business being at an end , the lodge was closed . The above handsome jewel was specially designed and manufactured by Bro . George Kenning , of London , and 47 , Bridge-street , Manchester .

Davison is exceedingly popular in the lodge , and his elevation to the chair of K . S . has been fully

earned by his devotion to the duties of the offices he has served ; while the fact of Bro . Wells having filled the office of Treasurer for 18 years is sufficient indication of the esteem in which he is held . After the transaction of this business , the W . M ., Bro . Jordan , delivered the explanation of the First Tracing Board for the instruction of the younger brethren . There being no further business , the lodge was closed .

GOSPORT . —Lodge of Hope ( No . 2153 ) . —At the meeting of this lodge at the lodge-room adjoining the India Arms Hotel , on the 15 th inst ., Bro . H . Crisp , P . D . G . Supt . of Wks .

Merry , 2 SS j VV . Wilkinson , 44 ; and

G . S . Smith , P . M . 1134 . The lodge was opened by the VV . M ., and the minutes of the previous meeting read and confirmed . Bro . R . Caldwell , P . M ., P . P . G . D . C , then took the chair , and proceeded to pass Bro . W . H . Lowry , which ceremony was performed in his customary manner , which is almost beyond criticism . The W . M . again resumed the chair , and proceeded to raise

Bro . C . B . Taylor , M . D ., to the Third Degree . This ceremony was also well conducted , and reflects great credit upon the W . M . At the completion of the ceremony , all were anxiously awaiting with great interest , and the subsequent proceedings probably accounted for there being so large a number of brethren present . It was proposed by Bro . J . Bridgeford , P . M ., seconded by Bro . Godby , P . M ., and

supported by several P . M . 's , that a jewel be presented to Bro . R . Caldwell , P . M ., P . P . G . D . C . This was unanimously carried , and recorded on the minutes . In making the presentation , Bro . J . Bridgeford said it gave him him very much pleasure indeed to ask Bro . Caldwell to accept this handsome jewel , not as a recognition of services rendered only , but as a memento of the gratitude

of the members of the lodge to one who has shown such a continued interest in its welfare . He had known him personally over 37 years , 25 of which he had been a close companion as a Mason , and during all that extended time he had always found him just and upright , an honest man and a thorough Mason . They all thanked him for the great services he had rendered to the lodge for so many

years past as D . C , and , although he had thought it best to resign that important position , yet he trusted they should have his presence amorigst them regularly , to render any assistance they might require . He trusted that he might be spared long to wear that jewel , and when looking upon it might ever remember that it was presented to him for the great love and esteem the members of the lodge had for

him . Pro . Caldwell ( who evidently felt overcome with emotion ) said they really must excuse him making any remarks that night , as it was such a . surprise , and had come upon him so unexpectedly ; but he wouid simply thank them one and all , and at a future date would say more . It was ' proposed by Bro . Stopford , P . M ., and seconded

by Bro . Thompson , that a letter of condolence be sent to the widow and family of the late Bro . G . Stringer , expressing their regret at the great bereavement which had befallen them . All business being at an end , the lodge was closed . The above handsome jewel was specially designed and manufactured by Bro . George Kenning , of London , and 47 , Bridge-street , Manchester .
