G ., W . Walker M . C , C . Jones A . M . C . H . Caton

A . W . S ., Speight P . M . Tyler . The applause bestowed at the investiture of every Officer showed the W . M . had made a good selection , and one that gave satisfaction to the brethren . It was arranged that a summer banquet take place in July , and a committee was appointed to carry out the arrangements . A box of working tools had been presented by the I . P . M ., Bro . Chicken , and the members expressed

the satisfaction with which they accepted the gift . Hearty good wishes were tendered , and Lodge was closed . The brethren , eightynine in number , now sat down to one of those banquets that reflect so much credit ou Messrs . Ritter and Clifford . A very artistic menu had beeu designed by Bro . Ferry P . M ., and "button holes " were provided for each guest . The W . M . proposed the toast of the Queen

and the Craft . He said it had pleased Providence to spare her from the hands of a would-be assassin : he hoped Her Majesty would return to this country in renewed health , Jong to reign over H 8 . The toast of His Royal Highness the Most Worshipful Grand Master the Prince of Wales was next given . Bro . Roberts said nearly 1000 brethren came to Grand Lodge to meet him on the auspicious

occasion of the Special Communication . The toast of the Pro Grand Master the Right Worshipfnl the Earl of Carnarvon , the Deputy G . Master tbe Right Worshipful the Earl of Lathom , and the rest of the Grand Officers ; with this toast was associated the name of Bro . Bellerby P . M . Grand Steward , who suitably responded . Bro . Chicken I . P . M . said this was the first time he had had the opportunity to

propose the toast of the Worshipful Master . He was pleased to see the-Lodge had placed Brother Roberts at their head ; he was convinced that what he had already done so well in every office he had held would now be continued to their satisfaction . Under the auspices of tbe W . M . the Lodge could nofc bufc prosper . Tho Past Masters would give him their hearty support ; and at the end of hia

year he would vacate the chair with the same amount of respect hia predecessor had secured . He ( Brother Chicken ) felt assured the metrbers would give the toast a hearty reception . The Worshipful Master on rising was enthusiastically cheered . He said he felt ifc great pleasure to respond ; he would do his duty to the best of hia ability . It was only four years since that he held the collar

of Wine Steward ; he therefore felt a great pride in getting to his proud and enviable position . The ovation he had received was most gratifying . He conld assure the members that if candidates came he would be ready to initiate them . He thanked all heartily for the reception they had given the toast . The health of the Visitors was next proposed ; the Lodge was always pleased to

receive them . This toast was severally responded to by Bros . E . Marlet , Walker , H . M . Levy , T . J . Maidwell , and 3 . L . Mather . The W . M . then proposed the toast of the Immediate Past Master ; if he could follow in the footsteps of Bro . Chicken he never would go wrong . He had now great pleasure in presenting their I . P . M . with a jewel , proposed with all sincerity , and presented to him by the

unanimous vote of the Lodge . He felt great pleasure in placing it on Bro . Chicken ' s breast , and hoped he would live long to wear it . He had likewise to present him with a gold watch , the gift of the brethren . Often , when he looked at it , he might remember tha time when it was presented to him , and consider ifc marked a pleasing episode in his association with the Prosperity Lodge , and

that it would be handed down to his children , to show how hia services had been appreciated . Bro . Chicken , in reply , thanked the W . M . for his kind expressions , and the brethren for their valuable gifts ; he had also to thank the brethren for the great assistance they had given him dnring his Mastership . If he could have devoted more time to the business of the Lodge he would

have done so . Ho hoped to see them at the Summer Festival , where they would all be proud of the company of wives , sisters , and sweet , hearts . He was convinced tho Worshipful Master would do all iu his power to make it a success . A Ball had been inaugurated some time since , and he had the pleasure to inform them it would shortly take place . Whatever proceeds accrued from it would bo

devoted to a good pnrpose . He had now to remind them that they had lately been enabled to establish a Chapter in connection with their Lodge ; Bro . Brown Past Master aud Secretary is afc the head of it , and he ( Bro . Chicken ) hoped the brethren would support it . A word or two more ; he felt overwhelmed with their kindness iu presenting him with the Past Master ' s jewel and the watch , and he

echoed tho words of one of their Past Masters , that the jewel won from a Lodge was one of the grandest ornaments of Freemasonry . He shonld the more esteem this one , as ifc came from his mother Lodge , while the watch , the gift of tho brethren , would enable him to mark the time , and remind him of many pleasant hours he bad passed among them . The W . M . then

proposed the toast of tho P . M . s , whom all were proud to see present . He might say the Past Masters of Prosperity were second to none . They had worked diligently ; had looked after the interests of the Lodge , and the Charities of the Order . Bros . Arnold , Leins and C . Daniel responded . The latter brother said that for eleven years he had always held a collar , but he was now pleased to see it given to
