Presentation To Bro. G. Matt, 1391.

PRESENTATION TO BRO . G . MATT , 1391 .

On Monday evening Bro . George Matt , formerly Secretary of the Leicester Conservative Club , and who on his retirement from office had becn unanimously elected Hon . Sec , ( vas presented b y a few friends with an admirable oil-painted portrait of himself , from a photograph by Mr . VV . Mobbs , Gallowtree-gate . There was a good attendance of subscribers , though everybody felt that had the

presentation of a testimonial been more largely made known many more would have liked to have joined in an acknowledgment of the services of Bro . Matt . In the absence of Bro . Major-General Burnaby , M . P ., Bro . W . Beeson , formerly of South Croxton , but now residing in Leicester , presided . Mr . ROBERT READ , jun ., made the presentation , and , in doing so , observed that the cause which had brought them

together was to him a very pleasant one , as it was always agreeable to the best impulses of human nature to give honour to whom honour is due . ( Hear , hear . ) That Bro . Matt was deserving of the warmest thanks of the Conservative party of the town and county would be cordiall y acknowledged by his friends and political comrades present . ( Applause . ) He ( Mr . Read ) might claim without boastfulness that a letter of his to the public Press was one of the

first calls for the formation of a Conservative club —( hear , hear)—but for the completed institution , in which they gloried , the credit was largely due to Bro . Matt . ( Applause . ) He could not in his presence indulge in the same strain of commendation that he might do in his absence , but he must be allowed to say how much he admired his consistent Conservatism , his capacity of organisation , ancl his extensive knowledge , as well as the urbanity by which

he was distinguished . ( Applause . ) These qualities deserved their recognition , for to them they must largely attribute the auspicious existence of that comfortable home of loyal Constitutionalism—a home which formed a grand rallying ground , a precious link between county and town ; the political friendship between which was well illustrated by the presence of Bro . Beeson in thc chair . ( Applause . ) He had much pleasure in presenting Bro . Matt , on behalf

of subscribing friends , with that portrait of his own genial countenance , and he hoped it might be long before they or his family had to mourn the loss of the much esteemed original . ( Much applause . ) Bro . MATT , who was very warmly received , acknowledged in appropriate terms the compliment which had been paid him , and expressed himself not onl y willing but anxious to do in the future as in the past—all in his power

to promote the continued success of the Conservative party . He hoped the Committee of the club would do him the honour of accepting a portrait of himself as a reminiscence of his connection with the club . The picture was accepted by the Committee . On the motion of a MEMBER OF THE COMMITTEE , seconded by Mr . J . VAUGHAN , another member of the

Committee , a resolution was adopted requesting the Committee to allow the portrait to be hung in one of the rooms of the club . Mr . Vaughan availed himself of the opportunity of adding his testimony to the valuable services which Bro . Matt had rendered to the club . The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the Chainnan . —Leicestershire Advertiser .

balloted for , and accepted as candidates for advancement . Bro . Towers having previously intimated his inability to attend that evening , on account of business , it was arranged to hold a lodge of emergency for his advancement between then and the installation of W . M .. which takes place on the 31 st inst . Bro . Carruthers , on being admitted , was regularl y advanced to the honourable Degree , several of

the visiting brethren present rendering valuable assistance ; in fact , considering that it is only a month since the consecration of Derwent Lodge , the proficiency of the members thus early bespeaks a bright future for the youngest Mark lodge in thc Province of Cumberland and Westmorland . The lodge was closed in time for the visiting brethren to catch the last train home , previous to which they were accorded a hearty and well-merited vote of thanks .
