INSTALLATION MEETINGS , & c .

NEPTUNE LODGE , No . 22 . THE annual installation meeting of this old and proverbially efficient Lodgo was held on the evening of Thursday , the 25 th ult ' mo , at the Guildhall Tavern , Gresham-street , when there was a very numerous attendance , including many distinguished Provincial and other Officers . Additional interest was infused into tbe gathering by the presentation of a -well-deserved tribute of respect and esteem to Bro . Isaac Wilcox P . M ., CO ., the excellent Treasurer of the

Lodge , who had rendered snch substantial service to it during tho long period of over a quarter of a century . The retiring Worshipful Master Bro . Harper , Ph . D ., had also fairly earned the compliment that was paid to him at the expiration of his year of office , the duties of which he had well and worthily discharged . Indeed , it was admitted that few men had more deservedly won the honour of a Past

Master s jewel than had Bro . Harper . Under his presidency Lodge was opened , in accordance with ancient rites , -when the Worshipful Master was supported by Bros . Slater S . W ., Povey J . W . and W . M , elect , Wilcox P . M . Treasurer , Storr P . M . Secretary , Coalcher S . D ., Cook J . D ., Oorbott I . G ., Collins P . M ., M . of C , Neats W . S ., Wattrall P . M ., Ashwell P . M ., Crauford P . M ., Harcourt P . M ., and a goodly

number of other members , with Bro . Parkinson as Tyler . Amongst the Visitors were Bros . Serjfc . Robinson P . M . 136 , Sir John Bennett P . M . 1 , Rees Copestick P . M . 819 P . P . G . S . B . Herts , McDowall P . M . 948 P . G . D . C Berks and Bucks , Edgar Bowyer P . M . 1580 P . P . S . G . W . Herts , Kenning P . M . 1657 , Massey P . M . 1928 , Francis 34 , Cokerl 98 , Morgan 108 , Hannay , Carter 453 , Hayworth P . M . 15 , Bonner 1257 ,

Phillip 73 , Bishop 180 , Russell 180 , Green 861 , Wilcox 1658 , Bailey 1445 , and others . After the confirmation of the minutes of last meeting Lodge was advanced , and Bro . King was raised to the sublime degree by the retiring Worshipful Master , who performed the rite with faultless precision , and to the unqualified satisfaction of the brethren assembled . On resuming , the Worshipful Master elect

was presented by Brother CoIIings P . M ., when a Board of Installed Masters was duly constituted , and Brother Povey was installed , with all the impressive ceremonial , into the ohair of K . S . by Bro . Britton P . M . who discharged his duties most admirably , and fco the satisfaction of all present . On the re-admission of the brethren , he was saluted with the honours in the three degrees , after which lie

invested his Oflicers for the year , as follow : —Bros . Harper I . P . M ., Slater S . W ., Conlcher J . W ., Storr Past Master Treasurer , Britton Secretary , Cook S . D ., Corbetfc J . D ., Hedderly I . G ., Collings M . C , Neats W . S ., and Parkinson Tyler . A massive and handsome Pasfc Master ' s jewel was presented , on behalf of the whole of the members of the Lodge , to Brother Harper , on his retirement from Office , as a

mark of esteem , and in recognition of the valuable services he had rendered to the Lodge during the past year . The gift was suitably acknowledged , and afterwards substantial testimony was borne to the high appreciation by the brethren of the efficient and faithful services rendered by Brother Wilcox , as Secretary of the Lodge . Brother Wilcox was cordially congratulated on his zeal and

fidelity , in the discharge of his responsible trust , and his unwearied efforts to uphold the prestige of the old Neptune Lodge . In making the presentation , the newly installed W . M . said , ifc was 26 years ago thafc evening that Bro . Wilcox assumed the collar of Treasurer of the Neptune Lodge , when it was placed upon his shoulders by Brother Goodwin . Many and varied had been the changes he had seen take

place in the Lodge . Very few of the brethren remained who wifc . nessed the interesting ceremony of Brother Wilcox ' s initiation j they had gone , he hoped , to the bright sphere above . Still he waa with them , though after such a lengthened term of service as 26 years he felfc the time had arrived when he could no longer continue to hold the office . That being the case , the brethren had

unanimously resolved to present him with a testimonial in recognition of his long and faithful service , and he ( Brother Povey ) asked his acceptance of it , assuring him thafc every brother of the Lodge joined with him in expressing the hope that his life might long be spared , and that the evening time mighfc be calm and peaceful . Longfellow had

said" Lives of great men all remind us , We can make oar lives sublime ; And , departing , leave behind us Footprints on the sands of Time . " Bro . Wilcox , in his departure from his office , had left his footprints on the annals of the Neptune Lodge , and he trusted this would

stimulate every succeeding Treasurer to as faithful a discharge of the duties of the office as Bro . Wilcox had displayed in the pasfc . In the name of the brethren of the Neptnne Lodge he asked his acceptance of the testimonial , which consisted of a splendid silver salver , richly chased and embossed ; in the centre was Bro . Wilcox ' s crest ,

surrounded by a girdle and leaves ancl other ornamentation . The salver was supplied by Bro . Sir John Bennett , who also generously gave the cost of the engraving as his contribution to the testimonial . In addition to the unusually rich embellishment , which was much , admired , the salver bore the following inscription : —

Presented to Brother ISAAC WII - P . M ., by tbe members of , THE NEPTUNE LODGE , NO . 22 , In grateful recognition of his valuable services as Treasurer , for Twenty-Six Years . January 25 th 1883 .

Accompanying tho gift was a beautifully illuminated address on vellam , enclosed in a massive gilt frame and glazed , which was pronounced to bo a most recherche specimen of artistic work . The address , which was engrossed in tho finest style of the art , and was much admired for the beauty of its design and finish , waa executed
