Eomaine Cullender Past Master , and Member of Parliament for Manchester , after whom tho Lodge was named— - < vhi :-h is never omitted ou such occasions in this Lodge , was given by Bro . Bettersby the J . D ., and drank iu silence . The ti-ast of the W . M . was proposed by the I . P . M ., wbo assured the visitors that thw .-election

that day wns a happy one , because it was unanimous for a Brother who would prove a worthy successor to a long roll of efficient Masters . Bro . Ernest Jones was a bom orator , a worthy sou of a worthy sire , the l < -te Ernest Jones , of legal aud political fame . The toast of the installing Master was entrusted to Bro . Past

Master Darbyshire , who said he felt a little embarrassment in dealing with it , because he had been ordered ( in an official note ) to " cut ifc short . " Still , after the very splendid manner the Installing Master had done his work in , he thought he should be justified in disobeying such a mandate , and would venture to speak at lengthen such

excellence . He felt that every one present would agree with him that Brn Edwards deserved the highest compliments , not only for tho work of that day , hut for the larue amount of service he had done for many years iu each degree of the Masonio art . It was to Bro . E I wards mainly clue that the flourishing Wolseley Lodge- was inaugurated .

He was its firsfc Master ; is still one of its brightest ornaments , and now the happy custodian of its Treasury . The Callender Lodge conld justifiably boast of having one of tho best Secretaries in this or any other Province , in the person of the Installing Master of the day . Bro . Darbyshire concluded by saying that from the applause

that greeted his remarks all round the festive board ho felt sure he had the approbation of those present for disregarding the " note " from the Installing Master . He hoped and knew that , they would all rise ancl drink most enthusiastically to the health , long life , and prosperity of Bro . Dan Edward * . The toast of the Visiting Brethren

was entrusted to Bro . Fust Master Walker ; he , in a ue * it little speech , made the numerous visitors feel themselves welcome . Bro . Walker ' s remarks were woll received .

Berrisford , who has attended every installation of this Lodge since its consecration , over twenty years ago . Bro .

popular " Fireside " Lodge . The Pasfc Masters , tho newly invested Officers , the Masonic Charities , and the Ty ler ' s toast were in due course given , and the proceedings brought to a close shortly after eleven . A number of songs ancl recitations were contributed

during the evening , by brethren and visitors . Amongst the latter , tho song of Bro . Dickenson , from Hebden Bridge , was grand . The singing and playing of Bro . Cart' -r , Prov .
