business before tho Lodgo after confirmation of minutes consisted only of passing Bro . Paliug to the degree of F . C , and therefore at an early hour Bro .

After customary greetings and appointment and investment of Officers in rotation , Bro . Ashwell

closed his Lodge and accompanied tho brethren to tho Holborn Restaurant , where in tho Crown Room banquet was served .

Master , especially acknowledging ; his valuable services during the past year , and recognising tho fidelity withwhich ho had followed the example of those who had preceded him , and to whom tho present successful position of the Lodge is duo .
