Treasnrer , Jefferys P . M . Secretary , Battie S . D ., Williams J . D ., Groom I . G ., Norringfcon and Castell Stewards , Field P . M . M . C . A notice of motion for next meeting was given , and tben the "Master closed theLodge . Banquet , served

in really first-rate style , in the Pillar Hall , followed , Bro . F . Clemow personally superintending . At the conclusion of the repast , the W . M . proposed the toasfc of the Queen and tbe Craft , wbich wns followed by that of the Grand Master and the Grand Officers . Bro . Wale I . P . M . then assumed the gavel . Ho considered it a very pleasing dufcy to be called npon to propose the health of fche W . M . All he

conld wish was that he might pass as happy a year as thafc he jusfc gone throngh . The toast was well received , and after a song the W . M . replied . He tendered his thanks . As he said last mouth , when the brethren were kind enough to elecfc him to the office of Master , he hoped their confidence wonld nofc be misplaced . He should do his utmost to perform the work of the office creditably , aud in a

manner that should meet the approval of the brethren . The working of the Burgoyne Lodge had for many years pasfc been performed creditably , and he hoped to be ablo to maintain fche reputation the Lodge had acquired . When he w"S initiated , by Bro . P . M . Field , he made up his mind to try for the office of Worshipfnl Master . Nothing wonld be left undone on his part to render the brethren

happy , not only in Lodge bnt afterwards . He hoped he might be as successful as his predecessors in the office of W . M . He then proposed the health of the I . P . M . He felt this was a toast that would be gratifying to every brother in the room . If one man more than another deserved his health proposed , it was their I . P . M . The way in which he had performed his work was highly creditable . He had

worked throughout the past year , without needing any aid from his Pasfc Masters . Before putting this toast to the meeting , the W . M . had a very pleasing duty , one of the mosfc pleasing he had had to perform since he bad been a member of this Lodge , and that was to present to his predecessor the Past Master ' s jewel that had been voted by the brethen . He must not accept ifc for its intrinsic

value alone , bnt rather receive it as a memento of the good feeling that was felt by each brother towards their I . P . M . The W . M . hoped his predecessor might be among them for many years , to add lustre to the Burgoyne Lodge . The I . P . M . tendered his thanks , both for the way in which tbe toasfc had been received , ancl also for tho jewel which the brethren had presented him , he shonld always wear the gift

with pride . He felt the brethren all knew how much ho had the interests of the Burgoyne Lodgo at heart ; he could assure them he should never fail to further its interests whenever ho had thn opportunity . The Master then gave the toast of tho Initiates . This toast was one always well received in a Masonic Lodge , bnt particularly so when they had to welcome four such brethren as those admitted

to the Burgoyne Lodge that night . Tho Master felt the Lodge had every reason to be proud of them , and ho trusted they wonld each become worthy members of tlio Lodge , and at the samo time good Masons , for ho was a'wnys of opinion that it was impossible for any one to be a good Mason and at the same time abaci man . Tn conclusion he conld but express a hope that the brethren admitted that

night might reap advantage from thn step they had taken . Each of the initiates replied . Bro . Phillips hoped he and his brother initiates mighfc do nil that was expected of them . Bro . Moss saVl lie had always believed in the brotherhood ol'mankind , but . never before had he seen it so fully amplified as he had done that night . It , would be his endeavour to mako such progress in Freemasonry ns one day t "

attain the oflice the W . M . then occupied . Bro . Bonner followed . Bro . Ashb y felt that nothing would give him greater pleasure than to rise to the position of Master of the Lodge , a post ho hoped one day to attain . The health of tiie Visitors wns next given from tin Chair . The W . M . assured tlie guests , in the name of thoLodjre , that nothing gave them greater pleasure than to welcome tho brethren present that ni ghfc . They hoped the Visitors were pleased with

what thoy had seen in Lodge , and satisfied with what had followed . Bros . Mather , Stevens , Drewett , Morgan , Gabb , aud Longley replied , after which tlie VV . M . proposed the Past Masters . The P . M . ' s , one aud all , were pleased to do all tbey could for the Lodgo . It- was not in many Lodges such a number of brethren who had passed the chair were present as was the case thafc night ; the Master felt

pleased to see them . Thoy had been a credit to the Lodge in fche pasfc , and he hoped they mighfc long continue so . Bro . Harvey , fche oldest P . M ., replied . He referred to the presence at the opening of the Lodgo that day of some half dozen of the Past Masters—a fact which ho considered reflected great credit on the body . He

and his brother P . M . s were very pleased to see the Lodge in so prosperous a state , and hoped it wonld ever continue the same successful career . The toast of tho Treasurer and Secretary , the Officers of the Lodge , and that by the Tyler brought the proceedings to a close . Some excellent songs , and a recitation by Bro . P . M .
