NOTICES OF MEETINGS .

LORD WARDEN LODGE , No . 1096 , DEAL .

IN consequence of the usual night of meeting falling on Good Friday , a Lodge of Emergency was held on Friday , 22 nd inst ., at the Lodge Room , St . George ' s Hall , at 3 . 30 p . m ., for the purpose of installing Bro . W . Carterfield S . W . and W . M . elect . The weather was fine , but owing to the few and inconvenient trains to Deal , there was not quite suoh a numerous gathering as was expected . As a rule this is one of the best attended meetings in this part of the Province ,

owing , no doubt , to the reputation which this Lodge has gained for itself during the past few years . There were present—Bros . H . R . L . Botting W . M ., T . J . Usher P . M . P . P . G . R ., J . B . Harrison P . M . P . G . C ., F . Leith P . M ., E . Kirby P . M . Treasurer , E . Measham P . M . P . P . G . O . Devon , T . Ayling P . M ., W . Carterfield S . W ., G . Band S . D ., R . S . Davey D . G ., H . Chambers Steward , S . Holgate Tyler , S . Willey

E . Rea , J . Longhlin , H . Webb , George C . Harding , B . M . Beer , E Grigg , Alex . F . S . Bird P . P . G . J . W ., B . Wood W . M ., T . Bent P . M . of 784 , C . W . Carlyon 1174 , J .

M . 1223 and J . Chubb P . M . 1314 ; Bro . H . Abrams 127 officiated as Organist . Lodge was

opened in the first degree , and the minutes were read and confirmed , as this was ou the notices of the meeting . As soon as tho Lod ge was opened in the second degree , the W . M . elect was presented b y Bro . E . Kirby , who during the ceremony acted as Director of Ceremonies . The W . M . then duly and regularly installed his successor into the chair in a way that has seldom been equalled , and rarely , if ever

excelled ; reflecting the highest credit upon the Lodge , and adding another to its laurels . No point was omitted . When the Lodge was closed in the second and third degrees , the W . M . invested his Officers as follow : —Bros . Band S . W ., Davey J . W ., Chambers S . D ., Rea J . D ., Harrison Chaplain , Kirby Treas ., Usher Hon . Sec , Leith D . C . ' B . M . Beer and Webb Stewards , Holgate Tyler , accompanying each

with a few suitable remarks . The addresses were then delivered by the Installing Master in a most impressive manner , which chained the attention of every one . After the ceremony was oyer , votes of thanks were given to the Visitors for the pleasure they had afforded by their presence , and to the Installing Master for the very efficient way in which he had performed his arduous duties that afternoon ; these were

suitably responded to . The W . M ., in a neat and feeling speech , then presented the Installing Master with a very handsome P . M . ' s jewel , subscribed for by the brethren as a mark of their fraternal regard and esteem . . In thanking the Worshipful Master and brethren for their , to him , most unexpected kindness , he assured them the gift would always bo highly prized by him and his .

lhere being no further business after the election of Bro . T . Aylin ^ as the Representative of the Lodge on the Prov . Charity Committee ^ lod ge was closed , and the brethren and visitors adjourned to the banquet , provided by Bro . Spinner , of Margate , in tho Lodgo room , which was most elegantly decorated . The viands were of first rato quality , excellently cooked , and admirably served , mach to the "ratification

of those present , who did ample jnstice to the repast . After the removal of the cloth the W . M . gave the usual Loyal and Masonic toasts , which were heartily responded to . Brother Bird in repl ying to the toast of the Prov . G . Officers , took occasion to bring forward the Holmesdale Testimonial Fund , and after pointing out the great good the Prov . G . Master had done in the Province during the

Past twenty-one years , said it was a matter of great regret that the subscri ptions had fallen very much short of their anticipations , ¦ though most Lodges had subscribed , very few individual members fiad done so . The subscriptions were limited to 10 s for members , but there was no reason why a smaller sum should not be given . This

w j | ! : matter he should leave to the consciences of the brethren , th * "' - Botting , then rose : he had the pleasure of proposing tie next toast which was the one they were there to do honour to—, ° . ? alth of their W .

sufficient proof of their confidence in him , and of their knowledge of his qualities without needing any trumpeting from him . no congratulated tho W . M . on his selection of Officers as he was sure his choice met tho approbation of the brethren , and would ensure the proper working of the Lodge and the maintenance of its efficiency . Their W . M . had served a very good apprenticeship , and he was

confident that if his health permitted , he wonld never bo absent from his post . Ho { Bro . Botting ) had had the pleasure of introducing him into Freemasonry , and in fulfilment of his promise given then had stuck closely to him , and would see him safely through his year of offico . He called on the brethren to unito with him in wishing their W . M . a prosperous year of office , and every happiness here below . This

toast was drnnk with the utmost enthusiasm and real , good " Kentish Fire . " The W . M . briefly but suitably responded . Bro . Kirby then proposed the Masonic Charities , and in a very forcible speech pointed out the great good these Charities were doing , and how the necessity of maintaining them became every year a greater duty in spite of the exertions they had already made . Although many Masons were

constant subscribers , yet there was a countless number who never subscribed anything . He pointed out that the large sums that were collected last year by the Stewards should incite them to greater exertions . Every Mason could act as a Steward by collecting subscriptions from his own family and friends . However small those subscriptions might be , they would help to swell tho

amount . He could point to several well known members who for years had acted as Stewards , and ho thought it was quite time some of the younger brethren came forward to take their place , and infuse fresh life into the work . He coupled Bro . Ayling ' s name with this toast . In reply , Bro . Ayling gave somo very interesting statistics with referenco to tho Institutions , and took the opportunity

of refuting the statements made by some one who had not studied the matter , that the cost of eaoh boy in the School was £ 80 . Such a statement , unsupported by evidence , was such as never ought to have been made by a Mason , as it was likely to give the brethren an idea that the Institutions were very extravagantly managed , when suoh was not the case . He compared them with other great Schools , and

maintained they could maintain their own , as was evidenced by the result of the last examinations . In conclusion , he made a very strong and urgent appeal for support on behalf of our excellent Institutions which Bro . Kirby had aptly called the " three noblest in the kingdom . " Bro . Usher P . M . proposed the health of the I . P . M ., saying he had done his duty well , had been most constant in his

attendance , and zealous in the performance of his duties . The way in whioh he had done the work that afternoon was a fitting termination to his year of office . He had justly earned the respect and esteem of the brethren , and all hoped he wonld be spared many years to be with them , and continue his services to the Lodge . Bro . Harrison proposed the Visitors , and remarked that he hoped by that

time next year there would be greater facilities for locomotion , and so they might reasonably expect a greater number . Bro . Webb W . M . Amherst Lodge replied , and thanked them for the very capital even , ing he had spent , and complimented the Lodge upon their excellent working . Bros . Wood and Crawford also responded . The W . M . gave the P . M . ' s , and Bro . Usher the Senior P . M ., and one of the founders of

the Lodge returned thanks . Bro . Band S . W . replied to the toast of the Officers , and said it was their intention to strive with all their might to prove themselves worthy of the honour that had been bes . towed on them , and that in them their W . M . 's confidence had not been misplaced . After the Tyler's toast , the brethren separated , having spent a most enjoyable evening . The proceedings were very

agreeably enlivened by some excellent vocal music . Under the direction of Bro . Botting , assisted by Bro . Abrams at the piano , the following programme was gone through with excellent finish and style , to the intense enjoyment of the brethren , Bros . Botting and Chambers and Messrs . Davies and Arnold being the vocalists : —The National Anthem , " God Bless the Prince of Wales , " Hatton ' s " Happiest

Land , " "The Four Jolly Smiths" ( Bro . Botting ) , duet , " Larboard Watch" ( Chambers and Arnold ) , rendered with capital effect ; song , "The Sexton" ( Arnold ) , most feelingly sung ; Pearson ' s "Iron Founders " ( four part song ) was very much admired by the audience ; song , " Give me the man of honest heart , " was most excellently sung

by Bro . Chambers ; trio , " Here ' s a health , " was rapturously applauded . Mr . Davis then sang " The Village Blacksmith " in a manner which earned the approbation of all present . Duet , " The Convent Bells" ( Davis and Botting ) and Pinsuti's " Good night , Beloved , " completed this capital programme .
