ings , Lodge was closed , and adjourned to May next . The banquet was served uuder Bro . John Brill ' s personal superintendence ; the viands wero everything that could be desired , and gave satisfaction to all . On the removal of tbe cloth , the W . M . introduced tho toasts . In speaking to that of tbe Qneen and the Craft , Bro . Costelow said , — During the present reign the country had been essentiall y

prosperous . _ This was due to the great zeal displayed b y Her Majesty in conducting the business of the country . Moreover , she had specia 1 claims on us as Freemasons j she was the mother of our M . W . G . M ., and two other of her sons took an active part in the business of the Craft . After the National Anthem , the M . W . G . M . was toasted , and ample justice was done on the mention of His Royal Highness ' s name .

Bro . Kent sang " God Bless the Prince of Wales . " The Pro Grand Master , the Deputy Grand Master , and the rest of the Grand Officers waa given , and then the Immediate Past Master Bro . Blasby proposed the health of the W . M . In hia opinion the brethren had made a happy selection , and he looked forward to a very prosperous year for the Royal Alfred Lodge under the

Mastership of Brother Costelow . Brother F . Botley here , sang most effectively , " The Bellringer " he was accompanied by Brother E . H . Sugg , who throughout the evening rendered goodly assistance by hia brilliant acoompaniment 3 . In replying , the Worshipful Master thanCed the I . P . M . for tbe way tbe toast had been proposed , and the brethren for the way they had received it .

He should strive manfully to carry out the duties , but he felt somewhat inadequate to their proper fulfilment . However , he knew he could count on the support of the Past Masters , whom he assured he should at all times rel y upon for their assistance . The next toast waathe health of the I . P . M ., who waa congratulated by the W . M . in having Berved a very prosperoua year . He ( Bro . Costelow ) had

pleasure in presenting the P . M . ' s jewel of the Lodge , whioh had been voted unanimously to Bro . Blasby , who he trnsted would live many years to wear it . Bro . Luca 8 here gave , in splendid style , the " Death of Nelson . " Bro . Blasby thanked all most sincerel y for the way they had received the toast . It had afforded him great pleasure to fill the chair of the Lod ge . Five years ago he never anticipated he should

arrive at so exalted a position in the Craft . He sincerely thanked the members for the P . M . ' s jewel they had so unanimously voted him . The Past Masters of the Lodge were complimented by the W . M ., who spoke in terms of praise of the way each had fulfilled his duties . Suitable replies were made by Bros . Littlewood , Beasley , Gardiner , Gosa , and May . The toaat of the Initiate waa next givenand after

Bro . Gomm P . M . ( Treasnrer ) and Bio . Hilton ( Secretary ) was then proposed ; and a warm eulogium was passed upon the late Treasurer , Bro . P . M . Goss , for the way he had transacted the business of his office during the last three years . This toast brought suitable responses , and then the OrTicers were complimented . ' This latter toast waa fully acknowledged , and next the Tyler was summoned . The evening ' a programme was agreeably diversified by the efforts of

the musical brethren , who ' were well to the fore , Broa . Lucaa and F . Botley especially distinguishing themselves . The latter , in addition to what we have already noticed , gave a capital rendering of the "Tor 6 ador" from " Carmen j" while the ever popular "Maid of Athens , " by Bro . Lucas , was much applauded . Before concluding onr report we must say a word of praise for Bro . Stockwell , who ably carried out the duties devolving upon him .

room , where a most elegant banquet was served by Bros . Sayera and Uarka . far pch ' psing anything they have previously attempted on behalf of the Craft .

received with special acclamation . In speaking to the toast of tho Right Worshipful Bro . Sir W . W . Bnrrell , Bart ., M . P ., Prov . G . M . of Sussex , Bro .

M . responded ; he praised the workiug , for so young a Lodge ; he waa at all timea pleaaed to attend any meeting of a Lodge when his engagements permitted . The next toast

was the Wor . Bro . J . H . Scott G . J . D . Deputy Prov . G . M . of Sussex , and the Officers of the Provincial Grand Lodge Present and Past . Bro . J . H , Scott , in reply , said he had been intensely gratified with the working of the Lodge , and also with the largo attendance of visitors . He had had great plea 8 nro in installing the W . M . He thanked them very much for coupling his name with tho toast . Bro .

C . J . Smith Prov . G . J . W . also replied ; he apologised for hia not being able to attend the Installation ceremony . The health of the W . M . was proposed by Bro . H . G . Martin I . P . M . The W . M ., in responding , dwelt upon the position he had so quickly risen to . This waa partly through the loss the Lodge had sustained of two of its Officers —the first Master in four months , and the first Senior Warden

in five months from the opening of the Lodge . He trusted he might be able to do the duties to the satisfaction of all ; and that he might be able to hand over the Warrant to his successor unsullied . To tbe toast of the P . M . ' s , Bro . Martin I . P . M . briefly replied ; he was sorry he had been compelled to be away from some of the meetings through his health , whioh was not good in the

winter months . In speaking to the Visitors , the W . M . was glad to see suoh a large number , and hoped he might have the pleasure of seeing many of them again . Bro . F . Fntoher , in reply , complimented the brethren on the working of the Lodge . Bros . G . Nash and T . Paokham replied . The remaining toasts comprised the Officers of the Lodge . The Senior and Juaior Wardens , and the Treasnrer

and Secretary respectively replied . The whole concluded with the Tyler's toast . Bro . Roe Prov . Grand Organist kindly presided at the pianoforte , and very excellent son ? s were given by Broa . Burfield , B'oadbridge , Large , Harry Evana , and others . Bro . Godfree , the newly-elected W . M . conduofed the proceedings of the evening in a manner which gives every confidence that the work of the Lodge under hia direction will be most efficiently oarried out in the future .

^ Eboracum Lodge , No . 1611 . —The regular meeting of'this Lodge , waa held on Monday , the 12 th September , when Bro . J . T . Seller the W . M . presided , supported by Broa . J . S . Cumberland P . M ., G . Balmford P . M ., and most of the Officers , with several other brethren . The appointment of Lodge Auditors was the principal business , after which Bro . T . Humphries , Assistant Secretary ,

presented to the Lodge a very curious brown-ware bottle , moulded in the shape of a heavy setting maul , and covered with Masonio emblems in high relief . Bro . Humphries gave an account of the history of this curiosity , which had been in the handa of its late owners for three generations . A cordial voto of thanks was passed to Bro . Humphries for his valuable gift , as also to Bro . T . B . Whytehead

P . M ., for a gift of several Masonio books to the Lodge library , which is now assuming large dimensions . Subsequently , during the meet , ing for refreshments , Bros . Whytehead and Cumberland made reference to the late Masonic gathering in York , and said that the Masons of York had every reason to congratulate themselves on the success which had attended the British Association reception .

Already the effect had been made manifest by the number of Masonic odds and ends which had been brought to light by brethren owning them , and who had previously regarded them as of no value , and although the proposal for the establishment of a Masonic Museum at York did not seem to be at all practicable or feasible , yet it was quite possible that on some future occasion an opportunity might be

offered for another exhibition of loan objects , and if thia could be carried out there could be no dcnbt that the beautiful and interesting display of the 5 th September might be easily quadrupled . Several toasts were honoured during the evening , and the absence of the I . P . M . Bro . C . G . Padel , through illness , was the theme of great regret . A happy and social evening closed at 11 p . m . 11
