as the condition of his health would prevent him from joining tho brethren at the banquet table .

Hobbs S . G . D . Surrey . Bro . Hobbs , in the course of his response , thanked the brethren for the reception they had given to the toast , and congratulated them upon having won such eulogiuon in the Lodge room from the Deputy Provincial Grand Master . The I . P . M . then assumed the gavel and proposed the health of the Worshipful
Master , assuring the brethren he considered ifc a very pleasant duty , for Bro . Carter was the initiate after himself , and had followed him in due order through all offices in the Lodge . He was sure that in their W . M . they had a brother who wonld do all in hi- power to sustain the reputation the Lodge had earned , and
conclnded by wishing Bro . Carter a happy and prosperous year of office . The W . M ., in reply , returned thanks for the good feeling which tbe brethren bad evinced towards him , though he was not sure he deserved all that had been said . After the flattering remarks thafc had fallen from the Deputy Prov .
Grand Master he should have to do his best to keep up the standard of the Lodge , and he should spare no efforts in that direction . Those brethren who , like himself , had been placed in the position of Worshipful Master for the first time would know thab he had more thoughts than words on fche present occasion , so he would conclude
hy again thanking them for tho honour they had conferred upon him . He next welcomed the Visitors , for whom Bros . G . Dixon , Kilvington , and J . H- Casson severally responded . In proposing the I . P . M . and the Past Masters , the W . M . referred again to the marked ability whioh Bro . Bishop had displayed in carrying out the duties
of his office , and the same ability bad been shown in the working of the ceremonies of that day , and especially the installation . The kindness and geniality of the I . P . M . had especially contributed to his success , and he had never exerted any authority that was irksome to the members . Bros . Pile and Baldwin , both Past Masters of the
Lodge , took considerable trouble to see the Lodge wotked successfully , and altogether the brethren shonld bo proud of their Past Masters . The toast was suitably acknowledged by Bros . Bishop , Pile , and Baldwin ; and fche VV . M . in giving the Masonic Charities , made an earnest appeal to the brethren to support Bro . Pile , who
intended going up as a Steward to the next Festival of the Girls School . Bro . W . W . Morgan , whose name had been coupled with the toast , Paid the condition of the Benevolent Institution had been ono that had demanded , and he felt ifc had received , tho earnest attention of the Craft . The unpreeedemedly large number of candidates this
year necessitated a special and earnest appeal for increased support , and this had been admirably responded to . At the same time it must not be forgotten that the other Institutions were equall y deserving , and although the Girls' School would doubtless be in a position to take on tho whole of its candidates without a
contest this time , if ihe Executive did so it must not be imagined that ifc meant we mnst overlook the claims of that Institution ; to achieve this much desired result it required immense resources to meet the current demands . No doubt a special effort wonld be made during the Jubilee year in the cause of Masonic Charity , and he hoped all
the Institutions would participate in the increase of subscriptions that may flow in ; so that when the days of their respective Fes'ivals arrive the Girls' and Boys' Schools would benefit proportionately , as the Benevolent Institution bad alrealy done . It was gratifying to know that Bro . Pile , who had just accepted the post of Secretary of the
Lodge , would serve as a Steward for the Girls' School , and he hoped that brother mig ht be enabled to take up a substantial list . He would not detain them further afc that late hour , bufc on behalf of the executive of the Institutions he took the opportunity of thanking the Wallington Lodge for tho steady and consistent e . Torts it had always
made iu the cause of Charity . The Officers of the Lodge were complimented , and they returned thanks , ancl the Tyler closed tho proceedings in tbe usual way . The speeches were interspersed by some capital singing aud iecitations , and a very agreeable evouiug was passed .
