Goddard presided , and after all preliminaries had been observed , Mr . John Hopkinson , who was introduced by Bro . Potter nnd P . M . Walters , was regularly initiated into the mysteries of the Ci-nft . Tho ballot

for this aspirant had previously been taken , bnt the brethren were now called upon to exer . ise their privile e with respect to the admission of Mr . James Wainwright . The result was favourable to this gentleman ' s candidature , nnd he also took hist first step in Freemasonry . This completed the emergent business , and thus reduced the work of the day we are called upon moro especially to

notice . Brother W . H . Myers Past Master had kindl y undertaken the duties of Installing Master , and aftor Lodgo hud beon formally opened , and the minutes of the last regnlar and emergency meeting had been read and confirmed , the event of the day , the installation of Bro . N . D . Partridge , was commenced . Bro . Partridge was introduced by Bro . Walters , who throughout acted as

Director of Ceretnon-es , and Bro . Myers , of whose ability as Master of Ritual we hive frequently had occasion to speak , proceeded with the work . In due course the Board of Installed Masters comp leted their part of the ceremony , and tho brethren who had tern - torarily retired were re-admitted , and the new W . M . was saluted in the three degrees . The following are the Officers who were

appointed : — Bros . S . L . wi * S . W ., W . McDonald J . W ., W . H Myers P . M . Treasurer , G . E . Walters P . M . Secretary , Jamea Robson S . D ., J . MaoGregor J . D ., F . Kimb ° H I G ., G . C . Young P . M . Organist , H . Seymour-Clark D . C , H . Winkley Wine Steward , Marsh Tyler . The addresses were -impressivel y delivered by Bro . Mvers , after which the W . M . rose ; his first duty was a most pleasing one ;

he had now to present the I . P M . Bro . Goddard with the" Past Master ' s jewel so unanimously voted at the last meeting of Lodge . He trusted it might be worn by the recipient for many years , both in the Lodge and at other meetings of the Craft . Bro . Goddard expressed his appreciation of the kind remarks of the W . M . He had held appointments of a public character , and this was not the first

time his services had been recognised . However , he assured the brethren he should esteem their gift more highly than any other he possessed , and should always consider it an hononr to wear it . The Auditors' report was then presented ; it showed the Lodge to be in a prosperous condition , and the accounts were unanimously accepted , and the report ordered to be adopted and entered on the minutes .

Hearty good wishes were tendered , and Lodge was closed . Bro . Stevenson then served up a capital banquet , whioh afforded every satisfaction to all present . On the removal of the cloth , the W M . gave the first toast—the heal . h of Her Most Gracious Majesty . This toast is always well received at Masonio gatherings , and with it , as was the usual enstom , he wonld associate the sentiment—Prosperity

to the Craft . After the National Anthem was sung , by Bro , P . M . Young , the W . M . gave the second toast , His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales , Most Worshipfnl Grand Master . All knew the amount of energy displayed by His Royal Highness . Had he more time at his disposal the W . M . felt he would do still more—if that were possible—for the Order . With great pleasure he would call upon the brethren to drink the toast . After " God bless the Prince of

Wales , " the Worshipful Master introduced the third toastthe Earl of Carnarvon Pro Grand Master , the Earl of Lathom Deputy Grand Master , and the Grand Officers Present and Past . With it he would couple the name of Bro . Buss Assistant Grand Secretary , whom he heartily thanked for the hononr he had done the Lodge b y hia visit . Here Bro . Seymour-Clark gave a spirited rendering of

" The Logger , " which was heartily applauded ; then Bro . Buss replied . He urged that but few words were needed from him ; the every-day actions of the members of Grand Lodge commended them to every Mason in the land . He regretted he was the only Grand Officer present . However , he was not singular in his wish that the Prince Leopold Lodge shonld prosper . Bro . Buss referred to the

interest taken by the late Bro . J . Hervey in this Lodge . He ( Bro . Bass ) was present at its consecration , when the late Grand Secretary performed the ceremony . He felt that at the present time the watchwards of tbe Order— -Brotherly Love , Relief , and Trnth—wero well carried out , and he trusted this happy state of affairs would long continue . Bro . Loring here sang , with great hnmonr , Glover ' s

popular song " Father Molloy . " Bro . Goddard , in felicitous terms , then proposed the health of the W . M ., who entered upon his duties nnder most favourable auspices . He ( the speaker ) felt assured Bro . Partrid ge would follow tbe course taken by those who bed preceded him in the chair . By the observance of a due economy , which the members would readily support him in maintaining , tho Lod _ e would be able to yet , further improve its position , ancl render substantial

>» d to tho Charitable I stitutions of the Craft . At this stage of the evening Mr . Ert . est Partridge , a son of the W . Master , favoured the company with Mr . Harry Hnnter ' s popular song , "The Lord Mayor ' s Coachman . " Bro . Partridge thanked Bro . Goddard for the way he had introduced the toast , and the brethren for the reception they had given it . He felt gratified at . being in his present , exalted position . He as . ' -ured the brethren he shonld condnct the business

a prurient and careful manner . With the rest of the members , he had a strong desire to seo visitors around their board . The interchange of visits with other Lodges possessed many advantages . Brethren had an opportunity of maturing their jndgment , a a improving themselves on many essential points . He would do au he could to promote the welfare of the Lodge . At this part of

From our own Correspondent with the Russian "rmy . Okouni , July 25 th . 1877 . T e want of sanitary arrangements in the Russian Camp was dreadful , and had we remain d there a few week-i onger , dvsft-. tcry and typhoid fever would have played more havoc in our ranks than the bombs of the Turks . I myself acquired an unenviable reputation as a doctor , owing to my being provided with a small bottle of CHLORODYNE , with which I effected miraculous cures .
