Reports Of Meetings.

The Lodge was opened in due form aud the minutes confirmed . The ballot was then taken for Mr . Harry Pegg Carr , a candidate for initiation proposed by Bro . J . W . Dewsnap P . M . Sec , and seconded by Bro . Henry Schneiders . The result was unanimously in favour of the candidate , who was subsequently admitted to a participation in the mysteries of ancient Freemasonry . It is always a pleasure to us to visit this Lodge , knowing as we do that we shall hoar the ritual of the Craft worked to perfection—this occasion was certainly no exception to tho rule .

The Secretary announced the receipt of several letters from Brethren who were unable to attend , including one from Bro . John Belli ,-who was to have been raised at this meeting , explaining his inability to be present , on account of ill health . This Brother enclosed a doctor ' s certificate with his letter , and was complimented at tho Lodge for the attention and courtesy he displayed .

The W . M . rose and said he had * a most pleasant duty to perform—a matter which should have been attended to last November—but on account of the absence of Bro . Georgo Miller P .

George Miller a testimonial from tho Brethren , in recognition of the perfect manner in which he had fulfilled his duties as Treasurer of the Lodge for a period of two years , and in doing so he could but express the gratification of the members for all that Bro . Miller had done for the Lodge in bis official capacity .

Bro . Miller , on rising to respond , was received in a most hearty manner . He said he really did not know how to express his thanks to the members of the Lodge . The Worshipful Master had spoken of the gift as a small token of gratitude , but he called it a large one , and really did not know that he deserved such recognition at their hands , as surely the little he had been able

to do did not call for such a handsome testimonial . He could only say he most sincerely thanked the Worshipful Master and members of theLodge , and assure them that whatever he could do to advance the interests and welfare of the Chough Lodge he should be happy to undertake . The testimonial was worded as follows :

Chough Lodge , No . 2264 . Presented to BBO . GEOEGE MILLEE P . M . By tha W . M ., Wardens , and Brethren of the Lodge . They desire to express their thanks and appreciation of valued services

Bro . Dewsnap P . M . proposed the toast of the W . M ., eulogising his many good qualities as a Mason . The way in which he had performed the ceremony of initiation that ei-eninc ; was a credit to him , as well as to the Lodge over which he presided .
