Installation Meetings, &C.

had entirely cut the ground from under him ; still , as Treasurer of the Lodge , ho might not be out of order in going over some little of that ground again . Bro . Woodward commented on the very prosperous position in which the Lodge now fonnd itself . That was very gratifying for a yonng Lodge . The last year had been somewhat of an ex-ceptional character , because tbey had made no less than nine

initiates , and he was afraid tbey conld not look forward , in these depressed times , to a similar amount of progress in the coming year At any rate , they had a very good balance in hand , and he did not want to remain long in possession of that money , in fact , at their next meeting he thought it wonld bo proposed that a portion of it should be given away to tho various Charities . Tho Lodge

hitherto had not sent up many members to tho different Charities as Stewards , but he did hope this year at least the three Charities wonld be represented . He thought that would be a very good beginning , and a good way of getting rid of some of the money in hand . There was no doubt tbey would have a few initiates , and their finances would be well kept np . With the

valuable assistance ho had received from their excellent Secretary , his duties bad been comparatively light , and ho could assure them tbey had been most agreeable . He hoped so long as tho G . A . O . T . U . spared him , which he trusted might bo for many years , he should continue to hold the office of Treasurer of the St . Martin ' s-le Grand Lodge , and that he might continue to enjoy , as he

believed he did at present , tho confidence of the brethren . Bro . J . Hookey , as Secretary , thanked tho brethren for tbe great kindness ho had at all times received at their hands . It was a great pleasure and honour to occupy the post ho now filled , and to find the Lodge in such a prosperous condition ns his worthy friend and coadjutor , Bro . Major Williams , had stated . They could not expect to

mako such progress next year as they had done in the past , and be did not think they wished to do so , as the Lodge now numbered fifty members , which was a good working number . He could only repeat his thanks for the kindness he had invariably received at their hands . The W . M . proposed the health of the Officers of the Lodge , for whom , in the absence of Dr . Smttb , the Junior Warden , suitably responded , and tbe official list was closed witb the Tyler ' s toast . The proceed .

ings were diversified with some capital songs and recitations . Bro . C . Warwick Jordan ( Organist of St . Stephen's , Lewisham ) lending most valuable and efficient asssistance as accompanyist on the pianoforte . A noticeable feature of the entertainment was a humorous recitation by Bro . Hatch , entitled " Melancholy Mad , " which provoked roars of laughter . Altogether a most harmonious and agreeable evening was spent .

WEST MIDDLESEX LODGE , No . 1612

AMONGST the Lodges that have been consecrated since tbe doings of the Craft have been recorded in the pages of this journal , few have been more successful than the one now under notice . The Wpst Middlesex Lodge was inaugurated on the 15 th Jnly 1876 , the late Bro . John Hervey officiating as consecrating officer ; he had the assistance of Bro . Fenn P . G . D ., nnd Bro . Weaver ,

who respectively filled tbe Senior and Junior Wardens' chairs , while for the nonce Bro . H . G . Buss , Assistant Grand Secretary , with wonted ability , acted as Director of Ceremonies . The day was in all respects an auspicious one ; Bro . Hervey most enthusiastically directed attention to the brilliant future it was his opinion was before the Lodge . W . Bro . A . Beasley . P . M . of the Roval Alfred Lodge ,

No . 780 , was installed the first W . M ., and so ably did he conduct tho bnsiness of the Lodge , that , at the conclusion of his year of office , he was unanimously re-appointed Master . In due course he was succeeded by Bro . Thomas Ivngston , who filled tho chair in 1878 , this brother made way for Bro . H . L . Kasner ; while Bro . A . J . Burr , who has ruled during the past year gave place ou Saturday to Bro .

J . Green . Throughout its career the Lodge has been recognised as a pattern one ; every regard has been paid to the ceremonies being conducted with dignity , and strict attention has been given by its Officers to make themselves proficient for their duties . As a consequence , the Lodge is popular , and its roll of members long . Lodge was opened on the 8 th instant at 3 . 30 , by Bro . Bnrr ,

who was supported by the Officers and members of bis Lodge , with the following Visitors : —Bros . G . Lambert Grand Sword Bearer , J . Owson 671 , Walter Goss P . M . 780 , H . C . Lambert P . M . 198 , W . W , Morgan Sec . 211 , S . Smont jun . J . W . 1612 , W . Gardiner W . M . 780 , C Andrews P . M . 77 , Robinson 1589 , Leper 376 , & c . After the minutes had been read and confirmed , the ballot was taken for Mr .

Joseph William Guy , who was proposed by Bro . Beasley P . M ., seconded by Bro . A . J . Burr W . M . ; and for Mr . John Fryers , proposed by Bro . J . Green W . M . elect , seconded by Bro . H . Kasner P . M . Tbe result iu each case was unanimous , and Mr . Guy was introduced , and Bro . Burr performed ( he ceremony of initiation . It is ! the rule iu this Lodge never to take more than one candidate ; therefore , as the

ceremony of initiation had to be gone through for tlie second candidate , tho chair was taken by Bro . Past Master Beas ' ny , the Father of the Lodge , and he performed the ceremony for Mr . Fryers , mnch to the edification of those present . The Lod ge , which previously had been opened to the third , was resumed to the second degree , and Bro . Burr introduced the Worshipful Master

elect , Bro . Joseph Green . Bro . Beasley then proceeded with the ceremony of installation ; a Board of Past Masters was opened , in due course the lay members saluted their new Master , and he appointed his Officers : —Bros . II . E . Tucker S . W ., S . Dyer J . W ., H . Kasner P . M . Treasurer . J . Chambers Roc P . M . Secretary , W . Seward S . D ., Fisher J . D .. Nye I . G ., Dclevaute Organist , Meadows Assist .

Organist , Wright D C , Foster A . D . C ., Hamilton W . S ., Jones A . W . S ., Harrifon Tylor . The addresses were given by tbe worthy Secrelary Bro . J . Chambers Roe . Bro . Roe deservedly holds a position in the Craft as a Master of Ritnal ; he will , however , excuse us saying that we have heard him to greater advantage than on this occasion . The case of a distressed brother , who though not belonging to tbe Lodge

Installation Meetings, &C.

was well known to its members , was now brought under notice . Bro . Ka < = ner earnestly pointed out the painfully distressing condition in which he found the applicant . He was followed by Bro . Bnrr , who warmly supported the proposition that £ 5 should be voted from tha Benevolent Fund of the Lodge . This was unanimously agreed to , and after greetings Lodge was closed . The banquet was served at tbe

Lvric Hall , which thanks to the enterprise of Bro . Delevanto and others in the neighbourhood , will doubtless be a great acquisition to the residents of Ealing . The alterations are not com . pleted , but sufficient has already been done to enable us to judge of the advantages we may look forward for . On the removal of the

cloth , tbe toasts were duly honoured . The proceedings throughout were of a very harmonious character . Bro . Delavante , as usual , had provided a host of talent ; and special thanks are due to him , his daughter , his son , and to Bro . Hambleton , for tho successful efforts they made to entertain the company . Bro . Jones gave a capital read , ing , which was justly appreciated by the brethren .
