LODGE ST . GEORGE , No . 1801 .
THE first annual installation meeting of the above Lodge was held in the Lodge Boom , Foresters' Hall , Dargaville , Auckland , New Zealand , on 6 th September . The atteudance was so large that it was evident , if the Lodge continues to increase , the brethren will soon be obliged to bnild a hall for their own requirements . The Lodge was opened by the W . M . Bro . J . M . Dargaville , assisted by his Officers .
After the usual preliminary business had been transacted , tho Treasurer ' s report and balance sheet were read ; these were most satisfactory , showing receipts amounting to nearly £ 250—and that , after having paid for Lodge furniture and regalia of the best description , as well as all ordinary and necessary expenditure , the Lodge still had a balance to its credit . A candidate was then introduced to Masonio
light , after whioh the W . D . G . R . Bro . W . P . Moat P . M . 1711 took the chair , and in his usual impressive manner installed Bro . John Lindley P . M . 218 Calcutta as W . M . for the ensuing year . The W . M . then appointed his Officers as follows : —Bros . E . Mitchelson S . W ., W . H . Spiers J . W ., K . A . Dargaville Treasurer , W . Vousden Secretary , W . Mooro S . D ., D . McLeod J . D ., K . Mitchelson I . G ., W . B . Jackson D . C ,
L . Dacre and A . Hood Stewards . Bro . H . J . Ludlow presided at the harmonium , and his masterly rendering of the musto added greatly to the effect of the ceremonies . The Lodge was closed , and the brethren then proceeded to the banquet , which was provided and served by Bro . J . Eaynes in a style which gave satisfaction to all present . After the usual Loyal and Masonic toasts had been given
and duly honoured , Bro . Dargaville proposed " The health of the W . M , " He said Bro . Lindley had nofc been long among thera , still he had been long enough to prove himself a good Mason , and secure the esteem of all . It was a source of great gratification to himself that he shonld be succeeded by ono who was evidently so well fitted to bring the Lodge to a hig h state of efficiency . Bro . Lindley briefly replied ,
thanking the I . P . M . and brethren for tho honour done him , and making several useful suggestions , which he hoped the brethren would attend to in future . Ho was now getting on in years , and had hoped it would nofc have been necessary for him to have taken such an active part in Masonry as again to become W . M . of a Lodge , but as the brethren thought he wonld be of service to
the Lodge , he had consented to be nominated for the office . He concluded by proposing " The health of the I . P . M . " Bro . J . M . Dargaville , in returning thanks , said thafc the distance of his residence from the Lodga had prevented him from attending to his duties as regularly as a Master of a Lodge should do . Still , he had done his best , and from the manner in which the toast had been
received , ifc was evident the brethren thought so . He had accepted the office of W . M . in deference to the wishes of the brethren , and against his own inclination , knowing tint he could claim no credit for regular attendance to his duties as Master . He had thought thafc a Lod <* e mig ht be successfully floated there , and tho number of brethren present , as well as the Treasurer ' s report read that evening ,
proved that he was right . Bro . Dargaville then proposed the toast of " The Installing Master , V . W . Brother Moat . " This , they would all admit , was really the toasfc of the evening ; for no matter who was entitled to the credit of founding the Lodge , one thing was certain—that had it not been for the exertions of Bro . Moat it would not be in existence to-day . A great deal had been said that evening
about their own Masonic zeal aud enthusiasm , but when they considered the amount of work done and personal exertion voluntarily undergone by Bro . Moat on their behalf , they must , in common with all other brethren by whom he was known , regard him as a model Mason . Bro . Moat responded . He thanked Bro . Dargaville for fche too flattering eulogy he had passed upon him , and the brethren ,
not only for the manner in which they had responded to the toast , but for the kindness shown bim on all occasions , both in public and private , wherever they came in contact . He certainly had taken some exercise on their account , seeing that each visit to the Lodge entailed on him a journey of afc least 250 miles , bnt the present
position of the Lodge , and their appreciation of his services was ample reward for all his trouble . There were few Lodges indeed which , afc tho end of their first year were amply supplied with furniture and regalia and , at the samo time , had a balance on the right side of tho ledger . Mosfc peoplo about Auckland looked upon the Northern Wairoa as somewhere outside tho bounds of civilisation ,
