NOTICES OF MEETINGS .

Lodge Of Joppa , No . 188 . —The installation meeting of this flourishing Lodge was held on Monday , 4 th inst ., at the Albion Tavern , Aldersgate Street , Bro . O . Eoberts ( W . M . ) in the chair , assisted by Bros . Hickman S . W ., S . Dodson J . W ., Anerhaau Treasurer , E . P . Albert ( P . M . ) Secretary . Past Masters Bros . Berkowitz , Hunt , B . W . Aaron , L . Alexander , I . Abrahams , H . M . Levy and Joel Phillips .

The Lodge was opened , and tho minutes were confirmed . Mr . J . Parker was balloted for and accepted . Bros . S . Botibol , Clark and I . Botibol were passed to the second degree . Mr . Skinner was initiated by Bro . Hunt P . M ., and Bro . Isaacs was raised to the third degree by the W . M . A Board of installed masters was then formed , and Bro S . Hickman S . W . ( W . M . elect ) was presented to the Lodge ; ho

was duly installed into the chair , in the presence of twenty-four W . M . ' s and P . M . ' s , by Bro . O . Eoberts . The retiring W . M . 's rendering of the ceremony was worthy of imitation , and at the conclusion he was warmly congratulated by the brethren of the Lodge , and also by the numerous visitors present . The W . M . having been saluted , invested his officers as follows , viz ., Bros . Dodson S . W ., L . Lazarus

J . W ., L . Auerhaan Treasurer , E . P . Albert ( P . M . ) Secretary , — Miller S . D ., — Cook J . D ., Berkowitz ( P . M . ) Chaplain , A . Auerhaan I . G ., H . Hymans D . C ., — Borgen and Campion Stewards , P . E . Van Noorden Organist , and — Woodstock Tyler . The Lodge was theu called off , and the brethren , above 100 in number , sat down to a very recherche" banquet and dessert , provided by the Albion Company

and superintended by Bro . W . G-. Jennings ( the manager ) . The usual loyal and Masonic toasts were given . The W . M ., in proposing the health of the Earl of Carnarvon , Provincial Grand Master , and the rest of the Grand Officers , said , although the Prince of Wales had been elected Grand Master his engagements had been so numerous that he could not perform those duties as Grand Master himself ; and

it became necessary for him to appoint a Provincial Grand Master . The brother he appointed to fill that office was the Earl of Carnarvon ( loud cheers ) , who had rendered immense service , not only to the Craft , but to the country . ( Cheers . ) Bro . Jabez Hogg , whom he was proud to seo present , as , well as other Grand Officers , had done good service in Grand Lodge , he had also benefitted the charities ,

not only by his serving as steward , but also by being a large subscriber himself . ( Cheers . ) Bro . J . Hogg , in responding , said , if there was one duty more pleasing than another in Freemasonry , it was to return thanks for this toast ; it was a privilege of Grand Officers to be rather ornamental than useful , and to enjoy the otium cum dignita . te on these occasions . He had been spoken of in glowing

terms by the W . M ., and he had to thank him for the manner in which ho had spoken of the Grand Officers' assistance at the installation of W . M . ' s , but the Joppa Lodge shewed it did not want such assistance j it was impossible there could be better working , and if the brethren would emulate it , Masonry in England must flourish , for he had experienced one of the greatest treats of his life to see such good

working as lie bad that evening . The W . M ., in proposing the toast of the Benevolent Fund , said tho amount in the hands of the Treasurer was £ 1 , 158 3 s lid , and that fund was for the relief of brethren only connected with the Joppa Lodge ; and brethren had been relieved to tho extent of £ 100 . The W . M . informed the brethren that tho officers had on this occasion given to that fund

above £ 15 , in addition to the extra amount subscribed ( £ 3 3 s ) by the Worthy Treasurer , Bro . L . Auerhaan , and his son ( £ 2 2 s ) Bro . A . Auerhaan , the newly appointed I . G . Bro . W . Aaron ( P . M . ) , President , returned thanks . The toasts of the newly initiated followed . Bro . Roberts then rose , and proposed the toast of the W . M ., who , he said , was tho right man in the right place , and the Lodge

was pleased to see him in the chair . ( Cheers . ) The W . M ., in responding , shewed his aptitude for the position he had been placed in , and thanked tho brethren for their kind expressions . Ho would endeavour , during his occupation ofj the chair , to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors , more particularly the Past Master . The W . M . then proposed the toast of the I . P . M ., Bro . Obed

Eoberts ( at the mention of whose name the greatest amount of euthusiasm was shown ); he said , that worthy brother was one who had shed lustre on the Lodge , for he had never been excelled in his strict adherence to his duties , for the brethren had seen how ably he had performed them . Tho ceremony of installation had been per . fectly rendered , and he then , in the name of the Lodge , presented

him with a very elegant gold Past Master ' s jewel , set with diamonds , and a splendid locket , with square and compass , and suitable inscription , set with diamonds , of artistic design ; he hoped he might be spared to enjoy it for many years , and that it might bo a heirloom to his family . Bro . Eoberts , in feeling terms , responded for the valuable gift . Bro . J . Constable W . M . 185 , returned thanks

for the visitors . He , as well as every brother who responded , paid a just compliment to the able working of the I . P . M . aud the W . M , The toast of the Past Masters , Wardens and Officers were given , and duly responded to . The Lodge was then called off , and the brethren , after discussing various matters , separated .
