Carr mado the presentation , and expressed the pleasure it gave him to bo called
upon fco present the portrait of their first W . M . He said no one could tell the great time , trouble , and money thafc Bro . Tooth had spent in founding a Lodge atEfcruria , bnfc his efforts had been crowned with success . Bro . Tooth was elected the first W . M ., and he had filled the office in a grand and dignified manner , and no doubt he
would do the same in the ensning year . He had known the W . M . for a great number of years , and he had always found him strictly honourable in all dealings both inside and outside that Lodge . Bro . R . Tooth returned his sincere and heartfelt thanks for the portrait . Alluding to the foundation of the present Lodge at Etruria he
said there was a Masonic Lodge at Etruria in 1803 , held at the Bridge Inn , which was now an iron foundry , and thero were in existence at the present time several pieces of beautiful pottery , including a magnificent punch-bowl , with the name on it of Etruscan Lodge , 347 . The Lodge was removed to Longton in 1807 , and there was no
account of its history after 1813 . He ( Bro . Tooth ) therefore thought thafc if there was a Masonic Lodge in 1803 , why not one in 1 SS 7 at Etruria ? He thanked the brethren for the assistance thoy had given him in the formation and carrying on of the Lodge , which was now in a successful state , and in many respects equal to any of the
neighbouring Lodges . A vote of thanks was then passed to Brother Ryles for the excellent way in which he had carried out the wishes of the brethren in producing such a beautiful portrait . The Lodge was then closed and the brethren adjonrned to the Queen ' s Hotel , Basford , where a sumptuous banquet was partaken of , provided by Mr . G .
Ashford . The W . M . presided . After the toast of the Queen and the Craffc had been drunk , the W . M . proposed the health of H . B .. E . the Prince of Wales , Most Worshipful Grand Master . Bro . Smith proposed the Right Hon . the Earl of Carnarvon Most Worshipful Pro Grand Master , and Bro . Carr the Right Hon . the Earl of Lathom
Right Worshipful Deputy Grand Master , and the Officers of the Grand Lodge present and past . Bro . Tnnnicliff submitted the toast of the Worshipfnl Bro . Colonel Foster Gough P . G . S . B ., Acting Prov . Grand Master of Staffordshire , after which Bro . Carr proposed the Officers of the Prov . Grand Lodge of Staffordshire Present and Past ,
which was responded to by Bros . Pedley and Ingamells . Bro . E . B , Jackson then proposed the W . M . for the ensuing year—Bro . VV . R . Tooth , in complimentary terms . The W . M . having suitably responded , he proposed the health of the Installing Masters , which was acknowledged by Bros . E . B . Jackson and Smith . Bro . Small proposed the
Visiting Brethren , which was responded to by Bros . Eardley and Gilbraith . The remaining toasts were : The Officers of the Lodge , proposed by Bro . Howson and responded to by Bro . Cowlishavv ; and

Notices Of Meetings.
Masouic Parliament who would illustrate its annals as well as did their Bro . Past Mastor Bardott-Coutrs . Ho ( Bro . Simpson ) trusted that , when tho time came to elect a Grand Treasurer of England , the Abbey Lodge , through its Officers , would return a good an I nprighfc Mason who would be an ornament to tho Craft . In conclusion he
expressed his thanks for the honour they had done him in assoc ating his name with the toasfc . Bro . Past Master VV . H . Baker said the next ; toast it was his duty to propose would be received with the greatest enthnsiam . Bro . Gibson their W . M . was a good Mason and a thorough worker . They had seen tho masterly manner in wh ch he
had worked two of tho decrees of Craft Masonry that evening , and if it had not been for tho state of his health ho would havo a ' so worked the ceremony of which ho ( Bro . Baker ) relieved him . They knew too how well Bro . Gibson had served them in their various charities , and the deep and sympathetic interest he took in any orphan ,
widow , or poor deserving man . They all wished the Worshipful Master better health , aud trusted that dnring his year of office he would be able to conduct the work to his own satisfaction . Bro . Gibson , in tho course of a brief response , said he hoped ho should continue to discharge the duties of his important office , as Bro . Baker
had said , to the satisfaction of tho Lodgo generally . The Rev . Bro . Simpson said the W . M . had been kind enough to placo the gavel in his hands for a few moments to propose what was , in one sense , especially the toast of the evening—he meant the health of the Initiates . Every one of them had passed through the process to
which those brethren they desired to honour had that night submitted , and he did not suppose that any one had forgotten his position at fche moment when ho was received into Freemasonry . It was pleasant to recall thafc time , and he was glad to be able to have the pleasure of asking the Great Architect ' s blessing on the three brethren
who had thafc night been initiated . He was quite sure that all three were very much impressed by the beantiful ceremony through which they passed , and that as they made progress they would learn more
to appreciate tho beautiful sentiments and useful lessons which Freemasonry taught , so that if they lived to be his age they would nofc repent joining such a glorious , old , and noble Order . They would soon know in the words of the good old song : —
" There ' s nought bufc what s good , To be understood By a free and an accepted Mason . " And thongh . thoy must nofc afc the same time expect thoy had come into an infallible Order , for there wero of course Masons who erred
as well as those who upheld the obligations they professed , he trusted that they would be amongst the number of those who sought to carry out the principles they were impressed with , and finally that they wonld have thafc reward which was held out to the good man and Freemason by finding everlasting joy in that Grand Lodge above
where the worlds Great Architect lives and reigns for ever . The Initiates severally responded . The toast of the Visitors was proposed by Bro . Goffin S . W ., and responded to by Bros . Johnson , Saunders , and Harrison . The W . M . coupled tho toast of the Past Masters with the names of Bros . Baker and Shand , respectively
Treasurer and Secretary , and also with the name ol Bro . Thomas Bull , a Past Master of other Lodges , and one who had rendered great service to the Abbey Lodge . Bro . VV . II . Baker P . M . HIHI he felfc it a great honour to be able to say that he was tho second Master of tho Lodge , and he would , without egotism state , that he had dono the
very best he could for the Lodge since its foundation . At that moment they had over 100 members , and their funds wero in a very satisfactory state . He hoped that they would never bo in a worse position , and there was eeitainly no prospect of ifc , for tho coining Officers were men of mark in Westminster , and would do as much credit
to the Lodge as those who had gone before ; their brother Senior Warden Goffin was a Past Master of another Lidge , and a most able worker , and tho assiduity with which their Senior Deacon Bro . 0 . C . Piper made him ° elf proficient in every succeeding office augured well for tho future . In concluding his speech , Bros . Baker referred
to the unavoidable absence of their Past Masters Bros . Burdett-Coutts and Seager-Hnnt . The esteemed Secretary of the Lodge Bro . Shand , in tho course of his reply , facetiously alluded to the absence of complaint from auy one who had been called upon to pay his dues twice over , althongh sometimes he was obliged to send a second
financial notice before the subject received the attention which its importance merited and business-like notions demanded . He suffered if these little mistakes sometimes miscarried ; ifc was the fault of the Post Office , bufc he had nofc lately heard any complaints from members that the letters had not reached them in the usual
course . Bro . Past Master Rail also said a few words in reply to the toast , and the Worshipful Master then proposed tho health of his Officers , referring specifically to each of them , aud thanking thorn for tho support which they accorded him . The Tyler ' s toast brought
the proceedings to a conclnsion . During the evening a selection of music was given , under tho direction of Bro . Bartlett , who was assisted by Madame . . Frarlersdorfl' and Miss Janet Bryson ; Bros . Montague , Bartlett and Biuton also sang .
