passed on the W . M . ' s working in the Lodge , and special reference was made by Bro . Greenwood P . P . G . S . W . of Surrey to the Installing Master's histrionic abilities . Never before , he said , during his twenty-five years experience , had he ' witnessed the ceremony of installation given with such seriousness and rhetorical excellence .

The proceedings opened with Bro . W . Mile ' s W . M . in the chair , with Bros . A . Barclay W . M .-elect S . W ., A . Sarjeant J . W ., A . J . Bailey P . M .. Treas ., L . Weil P . M .

After the minutes of the last Lodge meeting had been read and confirmed , the Report of the Audit Committee was unanimously passed , . and the W . M ., in referring to the statement in the report of the Committee that they are glad to certify that the Lodge is financially in a very satisfactory condition , said this was a source of much gratification to all concerned .

The ceremony of installation was then proceeded with , Bro . Miles being assisted by Bros . Brook-Hitchin as S . W ., A . J . Bailey as J . W ., I . Genese as I . G ., and J . Polak as D . C . Bro .

The I . P . M . Bro . Miles then gave the three addresses , which were listened to with rapt attention . After the usual vote of thanks had been recorded to the

Installing Master , the Lodge was closed , and the Brethren and their friends adjourned to the banqueting hall and there partook of a very choice banquet . After the usual loyal toasts had been honoured , the I . P . M . rose to propose the health of the W . M ., in brief terms pointing out how Bro . Barclay had won his spurs in Masonry and expressing the opinion that he was the right Mason in the right place . The toast , it is needless to say , was received with the greatest enthusiasm .

The W . M . suitably replied , in a speech which at frequent intervals elicited the applause of the Brethren . Bro . Barclay proposed the toast of the I . P . M ., which he emphasised as the toast of the evening . Bro . Miles , he said , had done his work so well that it was beyond comparison , and in pinning the jewel the

Lodge had presented and in handing him the collar also presented by the Past Masters , he was convinced that both had been well earned . He wished to express on behalf of the Past Masters and Brethren of the Lodge , that they hoped Bro . Miles would live long to wear them .

The toast of the Visitors was responded to by Bros . C . Greenwood P . P . G . S . W . Surrey , G . Elliott W . M . 2603 , and J . A . Atherton W . M . 2652 , who generally complimented the members on the capable Officers the Lodge possessed , and more particularly on the grand work that evening they had seen and heard . A capital entertainment . was provided by Miss Kate Hemmings , Brothers Arthur Strugnell , Gounoud , W . A . Edwards , E . Simon , and F . E . Chevaux ,

Altogether the members of the Chaucer Lodge are to be congratulated on the arrangements , so well carried out . The W . M ., who signified his intention of going up as a Steward for the Girls Institution , thanked the Brethren of the Lodge for the unprecedented support they had given him by subscribing close on ^ 90 . We congratulate Bro . Barclay on this splendid result .
