especial pleasnre , knowing that the body for whom he responded had , in years gone by , faithfully discharged the duties of their offices . During his term of office as Grand Treasnrer he had had little to do , but he hoped the little that had fallen to his lot had been accomplished to the approval of the many kind friends who were good
enough to elect him . He further hoped he should be able to discharge his duties until the termination of his year of office—now but three weeks hence—in such a way as to give universal satisfaction . The Immediate Past Master , Bro . Frost , then proposed the toast of the W . M . He considered thi . the event of the evening , the doing honour
to the newly installed Master of their Lodge . Tho members had had ample opportunity of judging of the ability of tho present ruler of the Lodge , who had worked up iu their midst step by step until he had risen to the proud position of Master . Ho ( Bro . Frost . ) had ha'i opportunities of seeing more of fcho work of their new Master than
many other member . , had done , inasmuch as they were fellow members in a Lodge of Instruction . There he had ever shown a desire to mike himself proficient , and had so acted that it was possible to predict for him a most Buectisf . il year of office . This ifc was the earnest wish of the speaker to see fulfilled , and he was sure it was also the
desire of every brother present . Tho Worshipful Master replied , tendering his thanks . It waa very gratifying to him to be spoken of as he had been spoken of that day . He was very proud of his career in the Lodge , and pointed to himself as an encouragement ; fco those in minor offices to push on in tho hope of attaining the
highest position in the Lodge . Ho thanked the members for their approval of his pasfc services and hoped ha might so discharge his duties in the future as to merit a continuance of their good opinions . Bro . Dr . Jabez Hogg P . M . P . G . D . was entrusted with the nexfc tonst ,
a HI st important one he considered ifc—that of tho Masonic Charities . He was sure that Bro . Binckes , who was with them thafc nigh , as representative of the Masonic Institutions , would tell them the John Hervey Lodge had hitherto endeavoured to do its duty ou behalf of fche Charities . The desire of the members of the Lodge was to

(> cMipy a prominent position among tne supporters of the Institntions . It was something for the Craft to be able to boast thafc M ... < nrv did more than any other organization iu the way of Benevolence , and it should be thnir constant endeavour to uphold this ivp . nation . Th . " Lodge would be represented , bo waa pleased
tn say , n . the coming Festival of the Boys School by one of its most energetic , members , in the person of Bro . Baker , who had undertaken tho duties of Steward iu connection with tbat Institution . He ( Bro . Hogg ) could recollect the Boys' School some thirty years ago , when tho number of pupils was but 90 , now it was 240—B < o . Hogg
regretted ho had made a mistake in the number , there were now 263 lals in tho Institution . When they thought of these lads they could bnfc feel a doi-ire to do all thafc lay in their power to snpport tho Institution which cared for them . Unfortunately the Buys * School was not the favourite among the Charities of
Freemasonryit was but natural their first sympathies shonld incline towards the Girl ,. ' ; besides whioh tho Boys' School suffered , inasmuch aa its Fes ti nil came last of the three which were annually held in support of thc Craft Charities . Lasfc year it specially suffered in consequence of tho extraordinary celebration in connection with the Sister
Institution , but he hoped all this would be compensated for in the future , and that tho Boys would receive the full support they deserved . Tho School was doing excellent work , educating thoroughly the lads entrusted to its care , and fitting them for the highest positions in the laud . Among tho former pupils with which he waa
personally acquainted was the present Houso Surgeon of Sfc . Thomas's Hospital , who was a M . B . of the London University , and who had secured many of the honours thab were to be got in the profession of which he was a member . There was another—young Bryant-who was making a name for himself in astronomical matters , while
generally the number of good boys turned out by the Soho d did credit both to the Institution and to Freemasonry as a whole . LIo considered ifc was impossible to find a better class of boys even among those who were educated in better schools than the Masonio one professed to be . Brother Baker , the Steward
representing the Lodge , announced that his list already am anted to seventy guineas , and thafc as he was about to introduce ifc to the members of the Lodge for the first time , he hoped it might speedily be increased fco a hundred or more . Brother Binckes responded . He rose with a large amount of gratitude to
reply , after a long absence from the John Hervey Lodge . He had first fco thank the Worshipful Masfcer for the importance he had given to the toast of the Charities by placing it thus early on the list for the evening . Its position showed the strong appreciation of the Lodge for the Masonio Charities , and augured well for the future
support of the members . Their esteemed Treasurer had spoken so well in proposing the toast as to give them a good idea of what was done by the Institutions . Bro . Hogg had had , as he said , a large experience of all of the Charities , but particularly was this the case in regard to the Boys' School , with the affui-s of which he took especial
interest . Notwithstanding all thafc had been Paid , he ( Bro Binckee ) felt be might address a i ' evr words to the present assembly . No doubt many of them knew much , or had heard much , in regard to thei-e Charities , but as he believed that in Mnsonic matters frequent repetition or familiarity did not breed contempt , he had nohesi'ati n
in speaking . He was very pleased to hear Bro . Hogg relate his personal experience of the successes of some of their old pupils . Tbe cases he had spoken of were already known to him , as also weie many other instances of great success in life among thoso who had received their education in the Bovs' School at Wood Groen . In this
connection he might refer to the association of old pupils known as the " Old Masonians , " which now numbered some 80 or 90 ex-pnpils . If any sceptics would come to one of the meetings of this associate n , or better still , would attend the dinner to be held next Saturday , he ventured to think they would see as . fine a set of young men—he
would go further , and say educated gentlemen—as wonld convince 'hem that the Institution was doing its work thoroughly and efficiently . There was one drawback in connection with the Institution ab the present time . They were unfortunately resting under a cloud—as they had to receive tho report of a committee of inquiry
which had been appointed to look into the working of the Insfciinr . ion and ifcs officials . He was nob in a position to say what that report wonld be , but be challenged any Institution to stand such a test as theirs had been subjected to and then to como out scatheless . Ifc must be remembered that the Boys' School had to maintain its
position against the best middle class schools of the country , and if those who were entrusted with its management spent perhaps £ 1 or £ 2 a head more than was sometimes thought necessary the Craft -. hould nofc begrudge it , provided tho work was efficiently performed . Whatever might be fche outcome of thafc inquiry , he trusted
the Craft wonld nob visit tho sins of the lathers upon the children . If they were found to bo deficient in management , or unfit to continue tho work that had been entrusted to them , he hoped the
Craffc would not . in consequence curtail , or altogether stop , the means of carrying on tho Institution . Thafc should nob suffer , whatever had been the mistakes of those who had been entrusted with its management . In conclusion Bro . Binckes tendered his hea > tfelfc thanks for tha
opportunity that had been accord . d him of speaking , and expressed hia gratitude that so large a gathering had paid attention to his remarks . He hoped they would produce the fruit he de-ired rather than what they actually merited . The Worshipful Master now proposed the
toast of thc I . P . M . and Past Masters of tbe Lodge , which was duly responded to by Bros . Frosb and Sorrell . Bro . Cabling replied on behalf of the Visitors , ancl Bros . Hogg and Latreille as Treasurer and Secretary respectively . The Officers were also toasted , and then the Tyler brought the proceedings to a conclusion .
