White assumed the chair and proceeded to

confer the third degree on Bro . Edwards . The W . M . resumed the gavel , and passed Bro . S . Myers , after which Bro . Phillips was presented for installation , and Bro . White , who again occupied the east , proceeded to obligate and regularly place him in the chair , performing tho ceremony in his usual able style . The new W . M . having been saluted , appointed the following brethren as hia Officers : —Bros .

White S . W ., Mouflet J . W ., Jos . Chaplain Treasurer , Baker Seoretary , Hill S . D ., Halliday J . D ., Presoott I . G ., Drake Steward , Smith M . C . The ceremony of installation having been completed , the newly installed Master proceeded to initiate Mr . Charles Frederick Bonham into the Order , after which Lodge was closed , and the brethren proeeeded to tho banquet room , where a well-sorved repast was supplied .

At its conclusion grace was sung , and then the toasts usual to these occasions wero honoured . The toast of tho Queen , the W . M . said , was at all times a pleasing one to members of the Craft . He had much pleasure in proposing it , coupled with Success to the Craft . In giving that of H . R . H . the Prince of Wales , he felt he conld not say anything in favour of their Grand Master , he being so

often spoken of , and his many good qualities being so well known , that anything he might say would not be in favour , bnt mere ' y in support of , the general opinion . He was a good man , a good Mason , a good father , and generally an exemplification of what a man should be . The toast of the Earl of Carnarvon , the Earl of Lathom , and the Grand Officers Present and Past , was next honoured .

Bro , Timewell proposed the W . M . He considered the duty he was called upon to perform was a very pleasing one—that of proposing the health of the W . M . He gave it with a great deal of pleasure . He had known Bro . Phillips many years , both in and out of Masonry , and he might say the acquaintance had always redounded tohisown benefit and the credit of their W . M . He hoped the year during whioh he

had to preside over the Lodge would be successful , and that Bro . Phillips would enjoy his presidency of the St . Marylebone Lodge . The W . M . having tendered his thanks , proposed the health of the I . P . M . It was usual on such occasions as the present , after a brother had passed through the chair , to present him with some little memento that he might remember the evenings ho had spent as president of a Masonic Lodge . He considered it somewhat out of the

ordinary to fill tho chair of the St . Marylebone Lodge , from the fact that the brethren were particularly devoted to the chair . They had most unanimously voted a jewel—he might say a very handsome jewel—to their I . P . M ., and he ( the W . M . ) was pleased to place it on his breast with the hope that he mi ght live long to wear it . He felt it was agreed that the I . P . M . was worthy of the honour . He had been a good Master and was really a good man . The jewel bore the following inscription t—

Presented by the ST . MARYLEBONE LODGE , NO . 1305 , To Bro . W . Timewell P . M . For his valuable services as Worshipful Master for the year ending 12 th April 1882 .

The I . P . M . in reply said , he had for several years past filled various offices in tbe Lodge with , he miebt say , but one object in view—the possession of the P . M . ' s jewel . He need not therefore say how muoh he appreciated it . He felt he might take the opportunity of expressing his obligations to the Officers of the Lodge for the way in whioh they had assisted him during his year of office . The Master next

gave the toast of the Initiate—a toast always sure of a welcome in every Masonic Lodge . He was particularly pleased to see new memhers in the St . Maryl . ebone Lodge , especially when they were suoh brethren as Bro . Bonham . He had had the pleasure of introducing his father and uncles to tbe Order , and he thought that as the son desired to join , he could not do better than introduce him also . It

wonld indeed be a pity if worthy young men snch as he , who reall y desired to join the Craft , should be allowed to re"lam outside . As a Mason he was now very pleased to greet him , and , as the initiate of the evening , glad to call upon the brethren to driuk his health . The newly-admitted brother tendered | » s thanks . He was verv orond to be in tho nosition of a

freemason . He hoped he might always act as a brother should act , win trusted he might never disgrace the confidence placed in him tnat evening . The toast of the Visitors followed , from the chair . ,, ° . "embers of tbe St . Marylebone Lodge were always known for eir desire to give their visitors the very best entertainment , both n J ^ odge and oat of it , which lay in their power . He , as Worshipful ster , was proud iu welcoming so many distinguished gnests as he w around him that night , and felt he instlv expressed tbB ooinion

Installation Meetings, &C.

the brethren who had missed the installation ceremony that evening had really missed a great treat , for it might truly be said that their Bro . Senior Warden was capable of and had performed the ceremony perfectly—he might say beantifally . He was really an ornament to the Lodge , and one of whom they ought to be proud . He had the whole of tho ritual at his fingers ends , knowing every degree , aud

working them iu that quiet way that induced him to say Bro . White was really one of the best Masons it was possible to find . He was pleased at having the opportunity of speaking of him in that way , as he felt he deserved it . Bro . White thanked the brethren . The present was not the first occasion on which he had the pleasure of installing Bro . Phillips , nor the first occasion on whioh he had been

called upon to work the ceremony in this Lodge . By a strange coincidence they had ocoupied positions just the reverse to what they now filled some short time since in another Lodge . He was W . M ., and Bro . Phillips S . W ., and he then had the pleasure of placing tho present W . M . in the chair . He was proud of being called upon to do so again . The Master proposed the health of the Past Masters , of

whom he was pleased to see so many present . Indeed ho was at all times pleased to see Past Masters in a Lodge , especially so when they attended with the view of renderng any assistance to tbe Lodge that lay iu their power . Such he might justly say was the case with the Past Masters of the St . Marylebone Lodge . After a reply from one of the Past Masters , the Master gave the

toast of the Treasurer and Secretary . He had known Bro . Treasurer many years , and felt the brethren could not have done better than entrust him with the office , while the same might be said of the Secretary , who , since his connection with tho Lodge , hod done everything he could for its welfare . Personally , he had to thauk the Secretary for his kind help in the arrangements for the installation ; without him the W . M . felt he should have been at a loss to know

how to get the work done . Each having replied , the Master toasted the Officers , and then the Tyler was summoned ; he concluded the proceedings . We must certainly congratulate the Worshipful Master on the success of the meeting , which necessarily depended iu great measure on his exertions . A first-rate musical programme was arranged , the artistes being Bro . Arthur Thompson , and Hubbard , H . P . Matthews , and J . Kift .

Lodge of Hope , No . 483 . —The monthly meeting of this Lodge , held on the 3 rd instant , at Brightlingsea , was rendered specially interesting by tbe presentation of a Past Master ' s jewel to Bro . C . Blyth , one of the oldest and most respected P . M . ' s . There was a good gathering of members of the Lodge , and two or three visitors were also present . The secret had been so well kept , that

when the W . M . rose to make the presentation , the worthy brother who was to be the recipient of it was wholly taken by surprise . The W . M . remarked that he had very great pleasure in being the mouthpieoe of the Lodge on that occasion . In some Lodges eaoh P . M . received a jewel on leaving the chair as a matter of course , but * in the Lodge of Hope that was not the custom , and jewels were

only given in rare cases , and in recognition of special services . Many good and esteemed brethren had presided over the Lodge of Hope from time to time , and there was no desire to detract from their valuable services , but all felt that Bro . Blyth had been so kind in helping forward Freemasonry , both in the Lodge working and by instructing the yonnger members , besides endearing himself to them

all by hiB sterling good qualities , that some recognition of them was due . The W . M . then placed the jewel on Bro . Blyth ' s left breast , expressing a hope that that worthy brother might live long to wear it , and that after he was called from this sublunary abode his children wonld value it as a memento of tbe esteem in which their father waa beld among his brethren . Bro . Blyth , who was deeply moved , Baid

this little episode had taken him so muoh by surprise that he felt qnite incapable of giving expression to his thanks in worda . He assured them that their kindness brought to his mind his many shortcomings , bnt if he bad been of any help to Freemasonry generally , and to the Lodge of Hope in particular , he was very gratified . He had been actuated in what he had done by a love for Freemasonry ,

and he shonld ever value most highly the handsome present they had given him . After the Lodge was closed the brethren spent a pleasant couple of hours at the social board . Among the toasts , that of the Past Masters was coupled with the name of Bro . Blyth , who again took occasion to thank his brethren for the token of their esteem which they had given him . He jocularly remarked that he

had been called the " Schoolmaster" of the Lodge j for his part , he thought the scholars had beaten the schoolmaster . Among those present on this interesting occasion were Bros . Thos . J . Railing P . M . 51 P . G . Sec . Essex , Geo . Harvey P . M . 697 , R . Clowes S . W . 650 , and the following members of No . 433 : —W . Bros . R . D .

Poppletbn W . M ., John Dean I . P . M . ; P . M . ' s Bros . J . Richardson , G . Riches , H . York , W . S . Ling , R . Attbill , C . Blytb , W . Bragg ; J . E . Wiseman P . M . and Sec . ; Bros . S . Lord S . W ., J . Bowdell J . W ., J . Downs S . D ., A . Smith J . D ., J . French I . G ., T . Wilson Tyler ; also Bros . F . Cross , Edward Frost , 0 . Fisher , G . Ainger , J . Wheeler , W . H . Martin , and A . Went .

Speaking of our Charities , the Evening Neivs says : — It is gratifying to find that , while the parent Institutions are being liberally supported to the extent of nearly £ 50 , 000 a year by tbe London , Provincial , and Colonial brethren , the brethren in some of the Provinces havo local Charities of the same kind . Bro . Cbadwick , the Provincial Grand Secretary of East Lancashire , stated on

Monday evening , after the election for the Boys' School , that in his Province tbey were educating twenty-five children with the income of £ 4 . 000 invested , and paying £ 400 a year to aged Masons and Widows . He also added , that though the Lancashire brethren were making strong efforts in this direction , their support to the Central , or London , Institutions was not , and would not be , in anv way diminished .
