municipal institutions of the country , so it might in the future be enabled to fight for those institutions as it had done for its own . He would leave to his good and worthy friends the Sheriffs the task of replying for themselves , but he should nob be doing his duby , and should be neglecting that whioh was uppermost in his mind upon
this , the last occasion that ho should meet bhem as his Sheriffs , if he did not express his warmest and most heartfelt thanks to them for the kind and generous support they had given him during his year of office . Nothing could have exceeded the cordial manner iu which the two Sheriffs had worked with him in the discharge of the duties of
the mayoralty , or the loyal support which they had given him npon every occasion he had called upon them . His friends had not only supported him upon almost every ocoasion with their presence , but whenever they were to attend charity dinners , as occasionally they were asked to do—if , in the few exceptional instances they were not
able to be present in person , they reminded him of their absence by their obeques for the benefit of the institutions . The two Sheriffs had given him their support , their charming wives had been most kind to the Lady Mayoress , and had assisted her as sisters only could do . Under such circumstances he should be indeed ungrateful if on this
occasion , the last , only officially speaking—for he hoped that the friendships which had been created between them would last for many long years to come—he should not publicly acknowledge how much he was indebted to them for the services they had rendered him in the mayoralty . He thanked the members of the St . Dunstan ' s
Lodge for the cordial reception they had extended to him , for the generous hospitality with which they had entertained him , and for the flattering attention they had paid him—for it had not escaped bis notice—in having his photograph placed on their bill of fare . Sheriff Major Davies , replying , said that he was glad to say that in
performing the duties of the shrievalty they had had a distinguished leader to whom they could always look for assistance . In proposing the health of the Grand Officers , the Worshipful Master had said that they were the leading spirits in Freemasonry , and he could only say that the Lord Mayor had always been , so far as the Sheriffs were
concerned , the moving spirit , and had kept them thoroughly well up to their work . They had been reminded that their year of office had all but expired , and he could not but feel some regret that this was the last occasion on whioh the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex would be called upon to respond to the toast . They had spent the
last twelve months happily together , and , thanks to th 9 kindness of the Lord Mayor , they had done so in a manner which would never be forgotten by themselves . The Worshipful Master had referred to the visit of the Lord Mayor to his native country . It was his privilege and pleasure to accompany his Lordship on that occasion ,
and nothing could have been more hearty or more worthy of the event than the reception whioh greeted his Lordship . He should not forget the warmth , the heartiness , aud the cordiality of the greetings extended to him in every place they visited , and on all occasions ; and if for no other reason , he should ever be grateful to his Lordship ,
who , he was proud to say , was not only respected and beloved in his native country , but also he was equally beloved and respected in the land of his adoption . He could not conceive a more fitting opportunity than the present , assembled as they were in the ward of which the Lord Mayor was the worthy Alderman , for their official
leavetaking . He and his colleague had discharged the duties of their office to the best of their ability , and he was bold enough to say that they had performed them well . That was a bold thing to say , no doubt , but he would not be hypercritical enough to say anything which would not lead them to believe that they had done their best .
Bro . Sheriff Higgs , who was loudly cheered , stated that he thought his worthy colleague had said almost all that it was possible to say upon that occasion in reply to the toast which had been given and received with so much cordiality and good feeling . No doubt most of them were aware of the legend that when a certain gentleman
forced his attentions on St . Dunstan , who was engaged ab the time manufacturing church bells , the latter , in order to get rid of his visitor , took hold of him by bhe nose with a pair of red hot tongs . The name-sakes of St . Dunstan , as represented in the Lodge under whose auspices they were assembled , had served the Lord Mayor and
Sheriffs very differently , and instead of doing that , had extended to them the greatest possible hospitality . He thanked them most heartily for their kind reception , and also the Lord Mayor for the brotherly sentiments he had uttered . The Lord Mayor next prosposed the Health of the Worshipful Master , and wished every prosperity to
the St . Dunstan's Lodge . In giving the health of the Master he was proposing the health of an old friend , whom he had known from a boy , and whom he had often seen playing in Chatham-place , Blackfriars . In later years he had seen with pleasure the Worshipful Master taking a conspicuous position in the management ; of the large
hotel in which they were assembled ; and he knew by his great activity , his great perseverance , aud his great love of work , that he must be a good Mason . The toast having been received with much enthusiasm , the Worshipful Master respouded . Bro . Dwarber proposed the Health of the Visitors , and the Rev . Welsdon and Bro .
Sudlow replied . The Past Masters and Officers was given by the Immediate Past Master , and was | 9 nitably replied toby Bro . Wellsman and others . The banquet arrangements were admirably carried out , and gave the utmost possible satisfaction , while the selections of
music , performed under the direction of Bro . W . H . White ( Organist of the Lodge ) , assisted by Mdme . Isabel George , Miss Alice Suter , Bros . J . A . Harrison , G . T . Miles , aud W . Coates , were all that could be desired .
WENTWORTH LODGE , No . 1239 .
THE monthly meeting on Monday was marked by proceedings of a specially interesting character . During the evening Bro . W . R . Thomas , who has lately removed from Sheffield to Bournemouth , was presented with a massive silver loving cup , subscribed for by a large number of brethren whose names were inscribed on a beautifully illuminated address . The presentation was made by the W . M .

Thomas , in thank ' "" ' h < - hr thr » n for their expression of goodwill to him , said that the cup would remind him of the many happy evenings he had spent in the society
of his Masonic brethren in Sheffield during the past 16 years . He felt grateful for the kindly appreciation of his Masonic , social , and professional services . Whilst regretting the circumstauce 3 causing his removal , he was glad to find that the true spirit of Masonry existed in Bournemouth , and he had been most fraternally received by the
Bournemouth brethren , although he felt that he could not expect to find the same friendships that 25 years' residence in Sheffield had given him . Bros . Wragge , Brooke , Barker , Barber , Foxou , Stokee , Middleton and Drnry added to the enjoyment of the brethren by an efficient rendering of a musical programme , and Bros .
