Reports Of Meetings.

them , and as it was not his intention to make long speeches he at one gave the Queen , which was honoured with enthusiasm . Bro . Shurmur , as the Senior Past Master of the Lodge and Past Principal of the Chapter , then proposed the toast of the W . M . and M . E . Z ., and said it rarely happened that a Brother held concurrently the position of W . M . and Z . of the Chapter attached to his Lodge . Bro . Speller not only held those positions , but had proved himself thoroughly capable of performing the

duties appertaining thereto . Without disclosing any Masonic secrets he would inform the ladies that the rites and ceremonies which the W . M . had to perform and the addresses and lectures he had to deliver would more than equal the contents of an ordinary three volume novel . The W . M . and Z . had not contented himself with working those ceremonies in their entirety , but he had also munificently subscribed to the Masonic Institutions , and was Vice Patron of all three of them .

The W . M ., in replying , said that after the remarks of Bro . Shurmur they might naturally expect a great flow of oratory from him , but his failing on an occasion like that was to say as little as he could . He was pleased he had the honour to represent the Lodge and Chapter at the Girls Festival as Steward , when they were kind enough to send him up with a list of 250 guineas—the little item spoken of hy Bro . Shurmur . He begged thern to accept his hearty and sincere thanks for the kind way they had received the toast .

Bro . Gower had great pleasure in proposing that which he considered the toast of the day , the Ladies . He could fairly say the Ladies ought to know it was not only the work that their husbands and Brothers did in the Lodge that occupied them , but the support they gave to the Charities , and while thinking of that part of their duty they were also thinking of the

Ladies , and were one and all delighted to have them present on occasions such as this . He was gratified that their Prov . Grand Master the Earl of Warwick had been pleased to ask Ladies to attend the Prov . Grand Lodge , at Maiden , and that the Countess had promised to attend and help with them to grace that meeting . He concluded by coupling the name of Bro . the Venerable Archdeacon Dunbar with the toast .

Bro . Dunbar , who in responding spoke on behalf of the Ladies—not for himself , but for them only—said they were extremely obliged for the pleasant words used in proposing the toast , and were glad to hear all were pleased to have the Ladies present . If the Brethren only knew the trouble they had ; the preparations to be made , the hour earlier they had to get up in the morning , some of them had to sleep with pins in their hair , some arranging

it as if blown about , which all took time ; yet they assured the Brethren they were only too pleased to do all they could . Those who had not settled in life intended to do so as soon as suited . They were pleased with their Masonic outing , and if any of them were not engaged the Brethren might he quite sure they were now quite ready , and many of them who had not quite made their arrangements would probably do so before they parted that day . He then appropriately gave the following lines : —

Let those love now , that never loved before , And those that always loved , love now the more , and concluded by expressing thanks for a pleasant day , and the lovely bottle of scent given to each of them . The W . M . then asked them to adjourn to the steam launch , and a pleasant journey to Shiplake and back to the same house followed , when tea on the lawn was provided . A photographic group of the party was taken by Bro . W . 0 . Tyler .. .

The party left by the launch , which arrived at Maidenhead in time for the 9-47 train tb London . The W . M . and Z . Bro . Speller was heartily congratulated by all on the happy and pleasant outing he had provided . Bro . Pointer ingratiated himself with the company by the able manner in which he superintended the arrangements .

ZETLAND CHAPTER , No . 1071 . THE members held their annual installation and festival on the 16 th ult ., when Comp . W . T . Nancarrow was installed Z ., R . T . Meadows H ., and J . G . Shanks P . Z . 205 , & c , P . G . S . B . J . The ceremony was performed by the retiring Z . Comp . F . A . Bawling , Comps . G . Trethewey and W . E . Bawling P . G . A . D . C . There was a good attendance , and the large amount of work was disposed of without outside help .

ALUMINIUM as a substitute for steel in the making of bicycles has been tried and found wanting , on account of its lack of elasticity , but as half the inventive faculty of the kingdom has been devoted to eycledom of late , it is not surprising that an amalgam has been discovered which , with over 90 per cent , of Aluminium , is as strong and as elastic as steel , and only about onethird the weight . This product is named Lu-mi-num , and the Lu-mi-num Company is now about offering to the public 25 , 000 £ 1 shares out of its capital of £ 150 , 000 , the balance having been privately subscribed . These

shares will be issued at 25 per cent , premium , and as the Company can turn out 600 cycles a week , and an output of 100 a week is calculated to produce 10 per cent , on the entire capital , there appears to be a very satisfactory outlook . Even with the 25 per cent , premium at which the shares will be issued , they will probably be eagerly sought after as soon as they come before the public . One of the chief features of the Lu-mi-num Cycles is that the frames are without brazed joints , and thus a very important element of danger in the ordinary " bike " is obviated .
