Reports Of Meetings.

Bishop Dawes , in a most happy speech , replying to the toast of his health , said that , in spite of the jealously and care with which the secrets of Freemasonry were guarded , some had got abroad . He had met one secret face to . face in nearly every little bush town or back settlement where members of the Order were to be found . The mystery they could not help revealing was their true fraternity , kindness of heart , generosity , and all the virtues which bind man to man .

FIDELITY LODGE , No . 555 . THE installation meeting was held at the Crown Hotel , Framlingham , on Wednesday , 24 th ult ., when a large number of members and visitors attended to witness the installation of Bro . E . W . Lynch . The ceremony of installation , was performed in a most impressive and exemplary manner by Bro . Fraser , after which the W . M . appointed and invested his Officers .

The Lodge having been closed , the Brethren adjourned to an excellent banquet at the Corn Hall , presided over by the W . M . Bro . Connor proposed the toast of the evening , the W . M . Bro . E . W . Lynch . He stated that he had known Bro . Lynch from his Masonic infancy , as they were initiated within a few months of each other ; he had

always found him a keen and enthusiastic Mason and a great lover of all that was good and best in Masonry . Bro . Lynch had served him most faithfully as Senior Warden , and , in fact , had filled every subordinate office with marked success , and he felt convinced that he would be a worthy successor of the many good men who had gone before him in Lodge Fidelity ,

and that he would have a most successful year of office . The W . M ., in reply , tendered his most sincere thanks . It would be his aim to conduct the affairs of the Lodge to the best of his ability , to emulate the bright examples afforded by the Past Masters , and to transmit to his successors the Fidelity Warrant as pure and unsullied as he had that

evening received it . He appreciated the trust reposed in him , and hoped to merit their entire approbation by faithfully discharging the duties of the office . The W . M . said he considered himself a link with the past , for his father , grandfather , and great-grandfather were Masons , and by a curious and happy coincidence , it was just exactly a century since his

great-grandfather was installed as W . M ., for he was placed in the chair of K . S ., in the Lodge at Ballyconnell , No . 453 on the register of the ' Grand Lodge of Ireland , on the 8 th May 1796 . It had always been his great ambition to attain to this honour , and he thought it was a legitimate ambition on the part of every Mason . At the same time , he felt very keenly the grave

responsibility of the office , and his own unworthiness to carry out the duties according to the high standard that had always been maintained . He was determined , however , that no effort should be wanting on his part to further the interests of the Lodge , and he was convinced that these efforts would be most heartily seconded by the excellent Masons who had done him the honour to accept office under him .

DOWNSHIRE LODGE , No . 594 . ON Thursday , 25 th ult ., at the Masonic Hall , Hope Street , Liverpool , Bro . Fred Wilkinson was installed as Master by Bro . W . H . 0 . Trenso , the retiring W .

Fishwick made complete arrangements for the conveyance of the party to Lakeside by char-a-banc , waggonettes , & c .

The day was beautifully fine , and the outing was greatly enjoyed without the least mishap . They returned to Cark , after visiting Cartmel , about 5 p . m ., in time for a hot dinner at the Station Hptel , returning to Bradford by special train shortly after eight o'clock . Bro . Scott , the Superintendent of the Bradford Fire Brigade , made the arrangements to the satisfaction of all concerned .

W . Tattam was placed in the chair . The retiring W . M . Bro . E . J . Tamlyn was presented with a very handsome Past Master ' s jewel , enclosed in Morocco case , and engraven thereon was the inscription :

Presented to W . BRO . E . J . TAMLYN P . M . Lodge Concord , 1135 , in recognition of his valuable services during his year of office . 24 th June 1896 .

Another interesting incident was the presentation of a marble timepiece , with an equestrian group at the top , and two brass figures on marble pedestals to match , to Bro . J . Blackford , fo .- his twenty-five years' services as Tyler of the Lodge . On a plate attached to the timepiece the following was engraved :
