NOTICES OF MEETINGS .

ST . GEORGE'S LODGENo . 1723 BOLTON .

"VX 7 " F ! , last week , gave an account of tho installation meeting of this ' ' Lodge , so far ns regards tho earlier events of the day . The after-dinner proceedings wero of an essentially harmonious character , and we feel assured the subjoined particulars will be accept . able to onr readers : — Tho brethren assembled for banquet shortly after the close of business . Mrs . Priestly of tho " Commercial , " having- put forth her

best efforts to cater to the wants of the brethren , was rewarded by a thorough appreciation of one of the most successful meetings of the brethren in Bolton ; the arrangements were simply perfect , and the viands all that the keenest epicure could desire . The St . George ' s Lodge choir , recently established , contributed largely to the enjoy , ment of the brethren , and sang ; their glees and songs in snob , a

manner as to entrance the audience . They were heartily thanked for their contribution to the harmony and enjoyment of the meeting . The usual Loyal and Masonio toasts were proposed , and received full recognition from those assembled . In proposing the health of the Provincial Grand Officers the S . W ., Bro . Barrett , spoke highly of those brethren , and stated that it should be a matter of pride that

Bolton contributed some of the most valued members of that body . The toast was briefly responded to by Brother Henry Greenwood P . Prov . G-P ., who said that he was proud of his position as a Past Prov . Grand Officer , and that he would always endeavour to sustain the dignity of the office . The health of the W . M . ( Bro . Latham ) was proposed bv Bro . Brockbank , the senior P . M ., who expressed hia

•/rent gratification nt being asked to instal to the office the seventh Master of St . George ' s Lodge , who had proved himself so worth y of the distinction the brethren bad bsstowed npon him . His contributions that day shewed clearly that he thoroughly appreciated the axiom that office brought responsibilities as well as honours along with it . Bro . Dr . Bentley , composer of " Here ' s to his health in a song , "

favoured the brethren by a vocal display , which elicited the warm plaudits of the brethren . Bro . Pennington proposed the Installing Master , Bro . Brockbank , and spoke in very flattering terms of the Ions ? Masonic services of that brother , intimating that the pleasure he had in visiting the Lodge that evening was considerably enhanced hy hearing the Mnster of his own Lodge conduct the ceremony of

the day , and , as Master of the oldest Lodge in the town , instal the Master of the youngest Lodge into office . Brother Brockbank , in reply , alluded to the faot that this Lodge , of whioh he had the hononr of being the first Master , had in a short time become so marvellous a success , this showed that brethren of good social position peaceably and quietly agreed to accept their Masonic rank without

any desire to obtain precedence , which some brethren might think them entitled to ; for instance , the S . W . was Chairman of the Board of Guardians of tbe Bolton Poor Law Union , and the J . W . held the honourable position of Mayor of Bolton , while other members of the bodies over which these brethren respectively presided occupied various offices in the Lodge . He was proud of its success , and trusted

to be spared to continue to render it any service in his power . The Mother Lodge , 221 , was proposed by the Mayor , and responded to by Bro . John Isherwood , W . M . of the Lodge . The Mayor spoke in the most kindly way of the " Mater , " and the services the old Lodge had rendered to Freemasonry , and of the very excellent Masons who had been trained nnder its banner , heartily wishing it every success .

The Past Masters were duly honoured , and the toast replied to by B- * n . Court , who acknowledged the services which had been rendered to him dnring his year of office by the Past Masters and also the Officers of the Lodge . The Visitors , proposed by Bro . Barratt S . W ., was responde . to b y Bro . Brier ley , W . M . Lodge Relief , No . 42 , Bury , who expressed his great gratification at visiting Bolton Lodges , as his

Lodge was consecrated , now nearly 150 years ago , by the first Master nf the Anchor and Hope Lodge of Bolton ; he stated that the Sesqni-Centennial of his Lodge would be celebrated in the month of July , and be hoped to be well supported by Bolton Masons . The Charities were next proposed and honoured . The services of the Officers of the Lodge were fully recognised and the compliment paid them waa

gracefully acknowledged . The tonst , proposed by Bro . John Morris P . M . —Poor and Distressed Masons-concluded the programme . The musieal arrangements and general direction of the proceedings were entrusted to the able hands and experienced judgment of Bro . Taylor , Past Provincial Grand Organist , and gave general satisfaction . The following brethren formed the choir whose services were so highly

appreciated : —Bros . J . M . Bentlev , Mas . Doc , J . B . Gonlbnm , Cheesewri ght , J . T . Smith . J . W . Taylor , and Tom Collins .
