and H . Evenden P . M . Tyler . The addresses were delivered by the Installing Master , Bro . E . R . Ward P . M ., to whom a hearty vote of thanks was accorded for his efficient services . The W . M . 's first duty was to present the I . P . M . Bro . Wm . Masters with a P . M . ' s jewel , and , on behalf of the members , he tendered him every good
wish for the future , and expressed their appreciation of his work duriog the past year . Bro . Masters I . P . M . briefly returned thanks ; he should feel honoured in wearing the handsome jewel as long as he lived . After routine work the Lodge was olosed .

the W . M . had asked him to reply for that section of the Grand Officers who were at work for the moment , and , speaking for the Executive , he could only say they were actuated by the same feelings a 3 the other Grand Officers , and were grateful for tbe honour done them , while they could not forget that the brethren always kindly
reoognised the Masonic position they held . For himself , it was aa especial pleasure for him to be present that evening ; it was little more than three years ago that he had the pleasure of consecrating the United Northern Counties Lodge , and he was gratified to find that this child of his had so suddenly arrived at maturity . He found
the project shadowed forth three years ago amply justified that evening . It was an excellent idea that brethren coming from the Northern Counties should have the opportunity of meeting together and renewing old associations . That that idea had been successfully carried out he realised in tho splendid gathering around him .
Bros . Rev . J . S . Brownrigg P . G . Chap ., J . W . Woodhall P . G . Treas ., and George Cooper P . G . D . also replied . The Prov .

M . asked the Secretary to read letters from Bros , the Earl of Lathom , Marquis of Hartingtan , Earl of Zetland , and Colonel N .
Starkie , and also from the Lord Mayor , who all expressed regret for enforced absence . The W . M . said that although those distinguished brethren were not present , he hoped before the year was out to see some of them , and tho members would then do their best to receive them in a proper manner . It was his privilege to have on his right
the Prov . Grand Master of West Yorkshire , who had afforded tham a considerable treat in the Lodge by the admirable manner in which he had assisted at the working of a ceremouy . Brother T . W . Tew thanked the brethren . He conld not but expre ? s the pleasure he had received in tho part Derbyshire had taken in the installation
ceremony that evening , when be recollected that ho first saw the light of Masonry in that Province , in the year 1858 , during the ad . ministration of the predecessor of the Marquis of Hartington , and that he was in the closest Masonic relationship with the Prov . Grand
Master of Derby and his admirable Deputy . He might say that the Prov . Grand Masters of the Northern Counties worked together for the prosperity of tho Craft in tho Provinces nnder their respective commands , and if thero was one thing they did for the welfare of their fellow creatures outside the Craft it was to lend themselves to
tbe promotion of every good work . He hoped they shoald ever bo loyal to those Charities , and accord them the hearty snpport they deserved . The Grand Secretary was right to speak of this Lodge as he had done . They in West Yorkshire felt it was an admirable thing to establish in London a Lodge where they from the North could come
and find a Masonic home suited to their tastes and feelings , instead of , as previously , having to rely too much upon the kindness and generosity of their good friends in London , They were anxious to do one thing , and that was to act in co-operation with their friends in London in whatever was good for the promotion of Masonio
principles at largp , and he hoped the Grand Lodge would find ifc had no more loyal body of Masoni than that numerous body of brethren umbodied in the ten northern counties of England . Bra . J . S . Cumberland P . P . S . G . W . North and East Yorkshire , in proposing the toast of the Masonic Charities , said it was difficult in a brief spyach
to give anything like a retrospect of the Institutions . The Festival of the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution hud recently taken place , and the brethren hud responded nobly to the appeal of that Institution . Tbe other Institutions had yet to bold thiir Festivals , when he trusted the brethren would be as ready to nss at the Institutions for Boys and Girla us thoy had that of the Old People .
