NOTICES OF MEETINGS .

BURGOYNE LODGE , No . 902 .

THE regular meeting of this Lodge was held on Monday evening , 24 th October , at Anderton ' s Hotel , Fleet-street . Bro . George Wale W . M ., presided , supported by his Officers , Bros . Charles Taylor I . P . M ., and several other P . M . 's , including Bros . S . Poynter Treasurer , Henry Charles Jefl ' erys Secretary , N . Field , Smith , and a number of Visitors . The usnal formalities having been gone through and the minutes of tbe previous Lodge read aud confirmed ,

the ceremony of raising was performed , and after a somewhat lengthened experience in Freemasonry , without any exaggeration we can say , thafc we never witnessed this solemn rite conferred in a more careful , correct or impressive manner than npon the present occasion ; every one , from th * - AV . Master downwards , being well np to his duties . At its conclusion the W . M . received the congratula .

tions of all the Visitors present . The next business was to pass Bros . Crone and Walla to the degree of F . C , and in this case tbe work was equally well done . There being nothing more before the Lodge , it was closed in due form , and with solemn prayer , and the brethren adjourned to the pillar-room , where a splendid banquet was provided , served in Bro . Clemow's best style . The formal toasts

having been given and responded to , Bro . Taylor I . P . M . said he had great pleasure in asking the brethren to join wifch him in drinking the next toast—a toast thafc was always received with great cor . dialifcy in the Burgoyne Lodge . He was sure that ifc would be drunk with tbe same heartiness and good will that night . It was tho health of their W . Master , who had endeared himself to them , not only by

his able conduct in the Lodgo , but by his genial conduct in the chair in the fourth degree . He had won not only the admiration of the brethren , bufc the Visitors included , and he was sure the toast would be cordially responded to on that occasion . Bro . Field P . M . here gave , in an impressive manner , Henry Russell ' s " Ship on Fire . " The W . Master , in responding to the toasfc , said—Brethren , I thank

you most sincerely for the very kind manner in which your Immediate Past Master ( Bro . Taylor ) proposed the toast of my health , and you , brethren , for the hearty aud cordial manner in which you have received my name . I can only say , thafc in the Lodge I do my duty to the best of my ability , and I can also sincerely say thafc whether inside or ontside tbe Lodge my thoughts are always with you , and

anything that I can do to advantage the Lodge is always at yonr command . The W . M . said the nexfc toasfc was one thafc the members of the Bnrgoyno Lodge always proudly responded toj ifc was the bealth of the Visitors . No Lodge could give a more cordial reception . They were always proud to see them ; and he hoped they would come again . Bro . H . Thompson was the first called upon to respond ; he said that words almost failed him to describe the excellent working

of the W . M . iu the chair . He felfc assured fchafc if their progenitor , oue of the most talented Masons who ever safc in a Lodge , conld again come amongst them , he would find thafc the bright future he predicted for the Lodge had been fully realised . Tbe Burgoyne Lodge had made its mark in Masonic history , and would go down in future as one of the best-worked Lodges in the Graft . The

name of Burgoyne was also inscribed on the military annals of tho country , and this hero ' s victorious exploits formed a long page in the enduring rolls of fame . Still there was no pleasure without its alloy , for another Burgoyne , engaged in the service of his country , with the band of brave fellows under bis command , found a watery grave , and not one remained to tett the . tale . I * i conclusion ,

he said thafc as long as the name of Burgoyne was held in esteem , so long would the Lodge maintain the reputation thafc it had hitherto borne . The other Visitors returned thanks . The W . M . said the next toast he had to propose was that of the Past Masters , of whom they had a goodly array , both as to quality and quantity . The members were all aware of their good working . There were few Lodges where

they bad such reason to be proud of their Bast Masters . Bro . Taylor , as tbe youngest Past Master , was called upou to respond lo the toast . It was his duty aud pleasure to assist the W . M . in the well ruling and guiding the Lodge . The Lodge was prosperous , and the Officers ably performed their dniies . He could assure them that the Past Masters'places were not sinecures ; however , they ono ancl all

thanked the brethren for tbe cordial manner in which they had drunk the toast . The next toast was " the Health of the Treasurer and Secretary ; " few members of the Bnrgoyne Lodge were aware how - much thoy were indebted to these Officers- without their efficient cooperation tho Lodgo must soon co ne to grief . Bro . Poynter Treasurer said he had had to reply to this toast for nearly seventeen years ;

ho was " poor in thanks , " and had spoken to the toasfc so often , be knew not what to say . He had for five months been moving about , ancl had been unable to go through tho accounts ; but he thought there was nothing of which fchey might be prouder than to find thafc their finances were in a prosperous state , leaving a good balance for the great objects of the Masonic Association ; they had

been well supported . As a member of the Grand Lodge , and also ot tho Colonial Board , he had always heard the Burgoyne Lodge spoken of with the greasb respect , and not long ago Colonel Shadwell Gierke , tho Grand Secretary , told him that he had always heard this Lodge spoken of in tho highest terms . Having referred to the zeal ot

I imir Secretary and Past Masters , and the services rendered by them , ho said the representation of tho Bnrgoyne Lodge was second to none . Bro . Jed " , rys Secretary briefly returned thanks , and fcho proceedings were soon afterwards brought to a close . During tbe evening Bro . Wells delighted tho company with some excellent songs .
