An Audit Committee was appointed , and Bro . J . D . Langton , P . D . G . D .

S EC , to supply each subscribing member with a copy of the Masonic Calendar at the expense of Prov . G . Lodge .
' The PROV . G . M . referred in feeling terms to the recent death of Bro . Raymond H . Thrupp , D . P . G . M . Middx ., who was also well known and respected in Surrey , and on the proposition of the D . P . G . M ., seconded by Bro . LANGTON , a resolution oi sympathy with the late Bro . Thrupp ' s relatives was passed , and was forwarded to Bro . James M . Small , the Prov . G . Secretary for Middlesex . Prov . G . Lodge was closed , and a banquet was subsequently held under the presidency of the Prov . G . Master .
The usual toasts were subsequently honoured , Bro . the Rev . NORMAN LEE , G . Chap ., briefly replying for " The Grand Officers . " Bro . F . WEST , Dep . Prov . G . Master , proposed "The R . W . Provincial Grand Master , " and said the brethren felt greatly honoured at seeing Lord Onslow preside on such an occasion as this . There was no better sportsman than their Prov . G . Master , he held high office in the State , and had had wide experience in ruling over men . It would be very difficult to find a Prov . G . Master with his capacity for ruling .
' Bro . the Earl of ONSLOW , R . W . Prov . G . Master , thanked them sincerely for the welcome accorded him as Prov . G . Master . The Prov . G . Master had been more cordially supported by his province than he had been on every occasion . At the great meeting at the Albert Hall , Surrey came out on the list of provinces in a place which was worthy of its reputation . Surrey had always been to the front in everything that concerns the chapter , and this year was one upon which he could congratulate them more
particularly . There was not a single lodge that was not now represented on the Charity Committee of the province . That Committee was of recent birth , but it started under auspices which were perhaps not altogether favourable . There were some lodges which thought that the system of handing over their votes was not altogether a wise and prudent one , but it had been proved that the policy was one which had met with almost general approval . The consequence was that the cases for election to the
Institutions which came from Surrey were supported by the votes from the province and were successful . His earnest desire in administering the affairs of the province was that there should be no favour shown to any lodge or individual , but that Masonic work and contributions to the Masonic Charities should alone entitle members to that preferment in Provincial Grand Lodge . There was a time when Provincial Grand Lodge meetings were held under the banner of a particular lodge , and that
lodge expected to be exceptionally treated with respect lo Provincial honours . That was no longer the practice . His hands were now absolutely free , and he did his best , with the valuable assistance he received from the Deputy Provincial Grand Master and Provincial Grand Secretary , to see that the Provincial honours were conferred without fear or favour . Those
who resided in Woking , the Provincial Grand Secretary and others , and who were responsible for the arrangements of the day , were to be congratulated on the way in which everything had been carried out . In conclusion , the Provincial Grand Master proposed " The Deputy Provincial Grand Master and Provincial Grand Officers , " and referred to the very valuable services Bro . West had rendered in Surrey for so many years past .
Bro . FREDK . W EST , Deputy Prov . G . M ., responded , and said that , in conjunction with his colleagues , he was proud to serve under such a Prov . Grand Master . Bro . J . M . MCLEOD , P . G . S . B ., Sec . R . M . I . B ., replied for "The Visitors , " and expressed the hope that the day was not far distant when ithe Provincial Grand Master of Surrey would preside over a Festival of the Boys' School . The Tyler ' s toast closed the proceedings .

SUMMER OUTING OF THE BEACONSFIELD LODGE , No . 1662 .
The brethren of the above lodge held their summer outing on the 13 th inst . This was the first time that this enjoyable custom had been adopted by the lodge , and the unanimous opinion of all the members and friends present was that the function was successful , and that the W . M . ( Bro . W . Lane ) was to be congratulated on the new departure inaugurated during his year of office . The party left
Liverpool-street Station at 9 a . m . for Ipswich . Reaching Harwich about 12 . 30 , a welcome interval was devoted to the discussion of an excellent luncheon at the Great Eastern Railway Hotel , under the supervision of Bro . Becker , the popular manager of that hostelry . Two hours were then spent in investigating the attractions of the neighbourhood , some members taking the opportunity for a dip
in the incoming tide , and then the steamer Suffolk conveyed the party up the River Orwell to Ipswich , the thoughtfulness of the Committee in providing a supply of strawberries and cream being heartily appreciated . After a short time spent at Ipswich the lovely scenery of the banks of the river again cheered the minds of all on the return journey .
A sumptuous banquet in the marquee at the Harwich Hotel was then partaken of . At its conclusion , the W . M ., Bro . LANE , who was greeted with loud applause , proposed the toast of " The Queen , " eulogising her Majesty for her personal qualities , and recognising the obligations of the Craft to her as the patron of their Charities and the mother of such distinguished brethren .
The toast having been received with enthusiasm , all joined heartily in the National Anthem , Bro . F . Kebbell , P . M ., leading off in his usual excellent rendering of the solo . The W . M . then proposed " The Ladies , " expressing his pleasure at having so many present . He offered them his thanks and congratulations on their
presence for the first time . He hoped they would believe that much of the time of the brethren when away from their sides at their various lodges was devoted to their various Charities , and he was sure when any one of the ladies present missed her husband , on those occasions she would in future put a charitable construction upon it . Bro . WEST humorously responded as a lady .
On the proposition of Bro . F . KEIWELL , P . M ., seconded by Bro . F . AMOS , Steward , and supported ( as a visitor ) by Bro . C . T . PAPWORTH , thanks were accorded to the Committee for their successful efforts in the management of the outing , as well as to Bro . Becker for his catering .

Summer Outing Of The Mount Calvary Preceptory (D.)
SUMMER OUTING OF THE MOUNT CALVARY PRECEPTORY ( D . )
This old preceptory held its annual summer banquet at the Mitre Tavern , Hampton Court , on the 28 th ult . Among those present were Sir Knights J . R . Carter , E . P . ; J . Uorst , Constable ; Major T . C . Walls , P . E . P ., P . G . C . of Gds ., Reg . ; G . Haysom , W . Fisher , C . Slater , P . E . P . ; Rev . R . C . Fillingham , M . A ., P . E . P . ; and Capt . George Carpenter . The banquet was served by Bro . T . Sadler , and assistants , and gave unqualified satisfaction .
Upon the removal of the cloth , the customary toasts received full justice . " The Health of the E . P . " was duly proposed . In submitting the toast the PROPOSER regretted that in consequence of other engagements many members had been unable to attend . It was a subject for regret that such old members of the preceptory , among others , as Sir Knights F . W . Driver , G . Graveley , Lieut .-Col . F . W . Stohwasser , H . J . Lardner , L . Steele , and Basil Stewart were absent . The E . P . was a most genial man and Mason , and since his membership had done everything in bis power to enhance the prosperity of the Mount Calvary .
The E . P ., in reply , admitted that he had been greatly disappointed in not being better supported that evening . Personally , he always looked forward to the pleasant June gathering of the preceptory . The surroundings of the Mitre were so picturesque and historic , and as to the creature comforts of the hostelrie they were not to be surpassed . He had every reason to believe that there would be
several candidates introduced before hs left the chair . The Order was an excellent one , and , without egotism , he ventured to declare that no preceptory could surpass the Mount Calvary . It was a very old one , perhaps the oldest in the country . Unfottunately , the records prior to its resuscitation in the early forties had been lost . The toast of "The Visitors" followed , and was duly acknowledged .
" The Health of the Last Preceptors" came next in order , and was coupled with the names of Sir Knights C . Slater and Rev . R . C . Fillingham . Sir Knight C . SLATER stated that he quite agreed with the Eminent Preceptor as to the Order in general , and the Mount Calvary Preceptory in particular . There was an indescribable something about the preceptory that made an attendance therein so thoroughly enjoyable . He had been a member for many years and every meeting he had attended was fraught with the most pleasant recollections .
Sir Knight the Rev . R . C . FILLINGHAM stated that since the last meeting of the preceptory he had been abroad and in order not to miss the annual summer meeting he had curtailed his holiday . In fact he had travelled post haste from distant Montenegro . He belonged to many Masonic Degrees but there was no Order in Masonry that he held in higher esteem than Knight Templary .
The toasts ot " The Treasurer and Registrar " and " The Officers , " coupled with the names of Sir Knights Major Walls , C . Horst , Capt . Carpenter , G . Haysom , and W . Fisher , terminated the proceedings , which were throughout eminently satisfactory .
