of tho Viator Lodge qualified to respond to tho toast with which his name had just been coupled . Br . ' . Price submitted tho toast of the W . M . There was no doubt that tho members ' ad made a wis : * choice in selecting Bro . Ernest Smith ns thoir Worshipful Master . They had that evening had nn opportunity cf seeing how well ho could perform the ccrerncny of initiation . Thcv would all ngivo that to
perf ( nn that ceremony on the night of installation was an arduous and difficult task . Their now Master had acquitted himself with considerable credit , and there were vory few brethren among thorn who could say they bad over lourtl tho ceremony better performed . Brother Price was convinced that under Bro . Smith's guidance tho Lodge would be well worked , and the fact that they had begun the year with
three initiates promised well for tho future . All he could say , however , in Bro . Smith ' s favour would bo simply telling them what they already knew , nnd he w < uld therefore simply remark that ho was the right man in the right place . He then called npon tho brethren to drink to the Master ' s very good health , and wish him a happy and successful year o * office . B . o . Smith tendered his hearty and sincere
thanks . He fully appreciated the hononr of the position in which he had been placed , and assured the members ho felt quite unable to express hisgratimde for what had been done towards him . He had the interest of the Lodge deeply at heart , and would do his best to look after it in the future as well ns it had been looked aftor in the past . He hoped his efforts wonld be crowned with success . He then
proposed the health of tho Initiates , and that toast having been acknowledged , that of the Visitors was given , the Master tendering them a very cordial reception . Bro . George Everett was tho first to respond . That the custom which obtained among Masons of visiting one another ' s Lodges was one of the best of all Masonic features there was n *• denying . He estenmed it a great privilege an-1 hononr to
have his namo coupled with tho toast of the Visitors among so many distinguished guests . Thoy had met that evening to enjoy themselves , and they had been able to do so right royally , on account of the hospitality extended towards thorn by the yonng Viator Lodge , which had already won for itself a reputation for the cordial welcome they gavo to visitors . The founders of tho Viator had graduated iu
a Lodge of which he was an old member , and in which ho held a somewhat prominent position , and ho felt the members of that Lodge might well congratulate themselves on tho snccess that had atrended the first year ' s working of their latest offshoot . The Viator Lodgo had also reason to be proud , numbering as it did 39 members nt the end of its first year ' s existence . This wns a result on which thoy
might congratulate themselves , and also the first Worshipfnl Master of the Lodge . From what he knew of their present ruler he felt the success would bo continued , and that the Lodge would enjoy a further period of prosperity . Bro . Lt .-Col . Bennett followed , also congratulating tho members of Iho yonng Lodge on the proud position they bad secured . Ho had known tho present Master for a matter of 25
or 30 years , and had experienced great pleasure in making the acquaintance of the other Officers and members of the Lodge . If o hoped the friendships formed tt . at evening might be cemented as years went ou . Bros . Willcox nnd Sadler Wood also icpliod , the latter referring to tho pleasure he felt in meeting in the Viator Lod .-u many of those who had wrrkod wi'h him in the old D . mintio .
It was iu tint Lodge bo had the pleasure of acting as Deacon to the present Master of the Viator Lodge , on his initiation , and ho hoped that the way in which he had carried out the duties on that , important occasion hud had something to do with Bro . Smith ' s present satisfuotory position . The W . M . then proposed tbe tin ** - !* of tho Immediate Past Master of the Lodge , the Installing Officer of the day ,
who he considered a most important official in any new Lodge . The members of the Viator Lodge knew it was entirely owing to the of efforts Bio . Price that the Lodgo was consecrated , while nnder his able direction it had prospered most materiall y during the first year of its existence . Bro . Price had bad many opportunities dnring his Mastership of showing how well ho could do the work in a
Lodge , and had that night won additional hononrs by the manner iu which he had installed his successor . He ( Bro . Smith ) had the gratification of being Bro . Price ' s first initiate in the Domatie Lodge , and on that ar count felt additional pleasure in proposing his health as first Past Master of the Viator Lodge . Bro . Price tendered his hearty thanks for the toast , feeling that he had been flattered far
too much by the Worshipfnl Master . It was- * , however , very grntifying to him to bear that his efforts had been appreciated . He had striven to do what he-could for the Lodue , aud the way in which the toast of his health had been received led him to believe he had won the opinion that he had done hisdnty . It had been a great pleasure to him to preside over so kind a body of brethren during the past
year . Everything had worked harmoniously , and every one had done the best he could to assist the Master in tho well rnling and governing of the Lodge . The present position of the Lodge waa conclusive proof that what had been done had proved somewhat of a success , and , as the Worshipful Master had told them , it was . mainly throngh his efforts that the Lodge had been formed , ho was naturally
proud of the results of the first year ' s working . He need hardly tell them of tho heavy expenses att ^ ndim **; the formation of a Lodge , yet they had paid everything , and started on their second yen * with a , balance of £ 38 odd to the good , a very satisfactory amout . t no hand over to tbe lecoud Worshipful Master of a Lodge . Bro . Price felt , lis might also mention that ho acted as Steward at the Festival of the
Iloyal Masonio Institutioi for Boys , and on behalf of the Viator Lodge took np a list of £ 107 5 s , so that in this respect thoy bad also done well , nnd had already made a reputation for tho Lodge in the annals of Freemasonry . He waa convinced that under tho gui . latic . x of tho now Horshipful Master the prosperity wonld be continued in iuture . Ho once more thanked tho members for tlio kind and hearty
rtception they liadgiren him , nnd wished them every success . The Worshipfnl Masttr next proposed the toast of the Clarities , the need of subscribing to which , ho said , was e . vidcn ¦¦> I by thu number of applications made year by yo » r on behalf of tno . se who needed help . The Viator Lodge would be represented next year at tbe Festival of the Benevolent Institntion , and ho hoped tho amount of tbo list

on that occason would bo as satisfactory as was the case at the Boys ' I'Vftivril of the present ye : ir . Bro . James Terry replied , congratulating tho Lodgo on the statement that had been mado by the I'tmie . iiiito Past Master in regard to tho finances , and hy tho Worshipful Mas ' or in regard to next year ' s Festival Steward . They had admitted three now members that day , aud as he believed they
would each provo as good a Mason ns those previously in the Ledge , he looked upon a second list of £ 107 odd as more than probablo for tlio Benevolent Institution in February . They must remember that tha candidates seeking the annuities of tho Benevolent Institution wero men who had sat round the table , as they wore then doing , M'ieo : is who hid boon tho backbone of their respective Lodges in years
gone by , and soma of whom had subscribed to the Craft as many as 43 , 44 oi * 45 years . He felt it was not possible to measure the work of such Marons by ordinary rules ; thoy should rather consider the ircfl'iP ! co the ' r ictions had hid on tho Mas .-nie bo ly as a whole . Thsy had now 43 !) annuitants on the funds of the Institntion , entailing an annual expenditure of upwards of £ 15 , 000 , aud as they
might imagine ifc required considerablo effort to Lo made throughout England , year by year , to raise this amount Fortunately they had never yefc pleaded in vain , and ho hoped they never would . Bro . Terry referred to one or two of tho older annuitants , and urged that tho annnties granted by tho Institution were really a blessing to them in their declining years . Ono old man had been
placed on the fuuds at tho ago of 81 , and to show how much he appreciated the kindly consideration be received , he lived to enjoy the annuity for a period of 18 years , dying within six weeks of his 102 nd birthday . Tho J . W . proposed the toast of tho Treasnrer and Secretary , speaking in praise of Bros . Ferguson aud Morris , whom he regarded as most efficient workers . In replying , Bro . Ferguson
tendered thanks for being again elected as Treasurer . It was a gratification to hold the office in so active a Lodge as the Viator , and he hoped , with tho assistance of the Secretary , that he should bo able to successfully and satisfactorily continue the work . He congratnlated tho Lodge on the result of its first year ' s existence .
If tho same kindly feeling existed iu succeeding years as had marked the first , he felt tho Lodge mast prosper . Bro . Morris also replied , and then the W . M . gave the Officers , which toast was acknowledged by Bro . Hobbs J . W . The Tyler's toast was given , and the proceedings brought to a conclusion .
