Tho ceremony of installation was ably and impressively performed by Bro . T . Page , to whom a hearty vote of thanks was accorded , on the motion of the W . M ., who received hearty good wishes from a number of visiting brethren , including Bro . Broadley ,

who in a few telling and congratulatory sentences mentioned that he had initiated Bro . Cox five years since at Malta . The Secretary annonnced the ' eceipt of letters acknowledging the votes of condolence passed by the Lodge to H . R . H . tho Duchess of Albany on the death of her husband , and to Admiral Montressor on the death of his son Lieutenant Montressor , late a member of the Lodge , who was

killed in the recent campaign in the Soudan . A satisfactory balance sheet was presented , and a vote of thanks accorded to Bro . Casey , public accountant , for professional services rendered as one of the auditors . The W . M . appointed his Officers as under : I . P . M . Bro . Page , S . W . Bro . Long , J . W . Bro . Lieut . Knowles R . N ., Chaplain Bro . Rev . P . H . Good , Treas . Bro . Threadinghara , Sec . Bro . Emanuel , S . D .

Mansell , Assistant-Tyler Bro . Carter . A telegram , expressing regret at being detained by Parli u mentary duties , was received dnring the sitting of the Lodge from the Prov . G . M . ( Bro . Beach , M . P . ) , and a letter of apology was

announced from Sir H . Drummond Wolff , M . P ., who is a member of the Lodge . At the installation banquet which followed the W . M . presided , and there was a good attendance . The catering of Bro . Maybonr , of Butcher-street , Portsea , was very satisfactory . At the conclusion of the repast the W . M ., in appropriate terms , gave in succession , "The Queen and the Craft , " and "The Most Worshipful

Grand Master H . R . H . the Prince of Wales , reminding the company that His Royal Highness was not only a member of the Lodge , but that not very long since he had visited the Lodge . The W . M ., in submitting " The Right Hon . the Earl of Carnarvon Pro Grand Master , the Earl of Latbom D . P . G . M ,, and the Officers of the Grand Lodge , " said they were specially honoured in having present a Past

Warden of England ( General the Hon . Somerset Calthorpe ) , and it was indeed an honour , because since the constitution of the Lodge , some three years since , they had not had a Grand Officer among them . Earl Lathom had very kindly expressed a wish to be present and accepted an invitation , but at the last moment had been kept away by Yeomanry Cavalry duties in Lancashire . General the Hon . S . G .

Calthorpe in reply said it was customary at all Masonic gatherings to drink the health of the Grand Officers , and although he was one of them he thought that upon the whole they deserved it , because they did not attain that position without having gone through a certain amount of toil and borne the heat and burden of the day . In days gone by he had worked tolerably hard at Masonry , not only with personal

pleasure , but feeling that he was not only doing gor > d to others but to himself . Every ono who had studied Masonry must feel that it was an elevating science , and the higher they got in the Order the more must they appreciate its very admirable characteristics . The W . M ., in giving " The R . W . Provincial Grand Master Bro . Beach , M . P . " described him as a wondcrfnlly enthusiastic Mason , and thought the

Province ought to be proud of having such a Master . AH regretted exceedingly that the P . G . M . was not able to be there , but he worked so hard for Masonry that they would be glad if his absence that night gained for him a little rest . Bro . Frost , in responding , congratulated Bro . Page upon the admirable manner in which he had performed the ceremony of installation . Bro , Lieut . Bourke , R . N ., proposed " The

R . W . Deputy P . G . Master Bro . Hickman , and Officers of P . G . Lodge . " He thought they might safely say that their P . G . Lodge was equalled by few and second to none . Theirs was a very strong Province indeed , owing to their unanimity and the excellent working qualities of their P . G . M ., ably and adequately assisted by his Officers . He thought the roll of Lodges would compare favourably with any other

Province in England , and this was dae to the good Masonic feeling which bad distinguished tho Province of Hants and the Isle of Wight , which had resulted in their having in office brethren who understood their work and who took an interest in Masonry . The brother who was mainly responsible for the hard work of the Province—Bro . Le Feuvre—was present , and he assured him that he had a hearty

welcome from the Lodge , and that the more they saw him tho more they liked him . Bro . Le Fenvre , in responding , referred to the fact that ho attended three years since at tho constitution of the Lodge , when the chair was filled by Lord Charles Beresford , the Duke of Connaught being present , and said that since then they had seen it flourish . He had met their W . M . in London , he being among the brethren anxious

to impress their mark npon the laws of the Craft , which , as they had been settled , let them hope would so remain for more than a generation . They were perfectly satisfied that in the W . M . they had a brother who was likely to bo worthy of the Saxe-Weimar Lodge . It had been the W . M . ' s pleasure , when serving as S . W ., to come from Lincoln monthly to perform the duties of the Lodge , and this proved

to him , if proof were necessary , that the Lodge had a W . M . who would not allow time , distance , or trouble to interfere with the discharge of his duties . He congratnlated the brethren upon the result of their efforts in connection with tho Charities , saying that they had been very fortunate indeed , under the guidance of the Provincial Grand Lodge Committee , to have secured the election of no less thaa
