The ¦ Officers of tho Lodge were next toasted . The W . M . felt all would aoreo that ho would owe much during his year of Mastership to the Officers . He re-retted that circumstances prevented the attendance of the Senior Warden and somo other of the Officers of tho Lodge , but he felt sure he
could rely on their supporting him in the well ruling of it to the best of their ability . There was ono Officer he already owed much to—their Bro . Secretary , and to him he should depute the response to the toast . He had ' been struck by Brother Matthews's earnest attention to all Masonio business , and felt that in following any suggestions of his one could not do
wrong . Bro . Matthews tendered thanks on behalf of the Officers . He joined in tho regret that the Senior Warden was away , on duty in America ; while the Junior Warden was engaged elsewhere , and others were likewise prevented from attending .
The Tyler ' s toast concluded the proceedings , the very enjoyable evening being brought to an especially early termination , necessary in view of the professional duties of many of tho company requiring their attention . The Musical entertainment was particularly good—as is usually the case at this Lodge—tho ventriloquial performance of Bro . John Le Hay with his two dolls being simply marvellous . o o o

honoured . That of the W . M . was ably proposed by the S . W ., and in response Bro .

Bro . Meggitt proposed the healths of the newly-passed Brethren , to which Bros . Sutcliffe and Whatham responded . The former said had he known that speech-making was a part of his duty , he should have hesitated before having joined the Craft . He had made many promises during the ceremonies , one being that he would try to be worthy , and that promise he hoped to redeem .
Bro . Whatham said he was much obliged to them for the confidence which so far they had reposed in him . He had reached the second rung of the Masonic ladder , and had really anticipated having by that time passed the third , but whatever disappointment he may have experienced in being delayed was tempered by the feeling that the ceremony had been put back for some good purpose .
