of the cloth the W . M . gave the usual toasts of the evening , prefacing each with a quiet and appropriate brevity which was extremely pleasing ; and we may take this occasion to remark , for the guidance of W . Ms , generally , that the speeches most approved are those short ones that go straight to the mark—any endeavour to make long orations , especially by the W .

John Hervey replied , expressing the very great pleasure it afforded him to come among them on so auspicious an occasion , and the gratification he felt at the excellent working he had witnessed . On the W . M . proposing the health of the D . G . M . for Wilts , Bro . Gooch replied in a very effective and truly Masonic speech . The W . M . then proposed what he very appropriately designated as the chief toast of the evening , viz . " The Health of the Founder of the Lodge , their worthy Secretary and esteemed Friend , Bro . Bonn / ' The necessity for
a Lodge at Canonbury had been acknowledged for years but as was usual in such matters ., that which was the business of every one had not been attended to by any one , until Bro . Bohn , with a determination that did him the highest honour , took the matter in hand and carried it out most successfully . The thanks of the entire Masonic district thereabout were due to Bro . Bohn , as the father and founder of the first Canonbury Lodge . Bro . Bohn , in reply , expressed his great satisfaction at the honour done him on this occasion ; for this he had laboured- —this had been the goal to which his ambition was directed—to
establish a Lodge to the satisfaction of the Brethren . Conscious of having carried his labours to a successful conclusion , and proud of the title the W . M . had been pleased to confer upon him , viz . Pounder of the Lodge , he begged to drink all their very good healths . Bros . Copper , Levi , Thearle , and Bohn , contributed to the harmony of the evening ; and time flew so quickly and merrily , that when we looked at our patent lever we doubted either our own eyes , or its hands , and seriously questioned its ability to tell us the time of day ; but day it certainly was ; and on the principle of being grateful for everything , we felt very thankful at the opportunity afforded us of getting home very early .
