Beadon Chapter , Tfo . 619 . —The Quarterly Convocation of this Chapter was held 011 Thursday evening , the 12 ih of October , nt the Masons' Hall Tavern , G ' oleman-srreet , City , but was very thinly attended by the members . Comp . F . Sharratt was M . E . Z , Comp . Myer P . Z . occupied tho position of IT ., and Comp . Jacobs J ., the regular Principals boing nnable to attend . Tho minntes of the Inst

Convocation wero read by Comp . Green P . Z . and S . E ., and unanimously confirmed . Tho next business was tho reception of Bro . James Gordon , of the Beadon Lodge , who had been balloted for at the last Convocation , nnd ho , being in attendance , was duly exalted into Royal Arch Masonry . The next items wero tho election of the M . E . Z ., Treasurer , and other Officers / for the ensuing year . Comp .

Sharratt was unanimously elected , for tho second time , to occupy tbo chair of First Principal , Comp . Carrington IT ., and Comp . Thompson P . Z . was for tho second timo elected to fill tho chair of J . Comp . Avery was re-elected Treasurer , and Comp . Green S . E . ; Comp . Dr . Podmore was elected S . N ., and Comp . Bond P . S . ; Comp . Bavin was re-elected Janitor for the ensuing year . Tho Audit Committee

was appointed , and the Chapter was closed in duo form . The Companions then adjourned to the banqueting room , whero a very bountiful repast was provided . On tho removal of tho cloth , tho formal Royal Arch toasts wero g iven and duly honoured . Comp . H . Thompson then rose and proposed tho health of tho M . E . Z ., Comp . Sharratt , and said that nothing could givo him greater pleasure than having

the privilege of proposing this toast . They all knew the kind and genial qualities for which Comp . Sharratt was distinguished ; these had been fully manifested that evening in his being unanimously re-elected to fill the distinguished position of M . E . Z . for the second time . He was quite sure as long as he hold that position he would ever command the same kindly feelings which had always been

entertained towards him . It is almost needless to say that this toast was received with the greatest cordiality . The M . E . Z ., in responding , said he felt that he did not deserve all tho kind things that Comp . Thompson had said of him ; he did not go through the duties as he could desire , but ho wonld do his best to give them satisfaction . The next toast was that of the P . Z . ' s of the Chapter , and

in responding to this Comp . Thompson said he felt it to be a groat honour to fill the position of J ., and to bo for the second timo elected to it ; although ho would rather have desired to see their choice fall upon some one else ; yet , as it was their pleasure to elect him , he would endeavour to discharge the duties to their satisfaction . Comp . Green S . E . also acknowledged tbe toast , and expressed his determination to adhere strictly to the bye-laws , and whenever the time

arrived for them to meet together ho should send out the proper notices , whether or not there was business to bo transacted ; a neglect of this regulation did nofc conduce to the interests of the Chapter . Some other toasts wore given , and a very pleasant evening was spout , diversified by songs from several of the Companions . Comp . H . Frances , of Provincial Grand Chapter Surrey , was the only visitor .
