S . W . of the Province , and by other Provincial Officers . Bro . Mickley in rospmding , regretted that tho absence of tho Deputy had thrown tho response to the toast ou him . but rtwro especially did lv regret his absence as it was caused by ill health . The Deputy of the Province might well he termed the right man in the right
place . He proved his apti'ude for the office on every possible occa sion , and attended to his work as far as ho was able . Bro . Mirklo * concluded by expressing his thanks on behalf of tho others compri-ed in the toast , after which Bro . Brittain proposed tho health of the Worshipful Master . It fell to his lot to propose tho health of a most
esteemed brother , who he had that evening had the pleasure of installing in the chair of the Gladsmuir Lodge . Bro . Hopkin had been most attentive to his duties , and had risen to his high office amid the good wishes of his fellow members , who felt the greatest pleasure in seeing him in the chair and who trusted ho might havo a
successful and prosperous year of office . In response , Bro . Hopkin assured the brethren he hardly felt ab'o to reply to the very kind way in which he had been received by those present . The position he then nccnpi d in tho Lodge was far beyond what he had ever expected . It would be his coivtant endeavonr to keep up the
standard of merit of tho Gladsmuir Lodge , and if possible add to the high reputation it already enjoyed . Ho next proposed the toast of the Installing Master . Those who had witnessed tho ceremony of the day most have been gratified at the able way in which the Immediate Past Master had performed it . The manner in which
Bro . Brittain had conducted tho affairs of tho Lodge dnring tho pish year was worthy of imitation , for he had boon most attentive to every duty which he was called upon to fulfil . Ho was a most enthusiastic brothoi " , having the interests of Freemasonry ab heart . No one could be more anxious to see the work of tho Order p' -op-M-ly
carried out . Bro . Brittain tendered bis thanks . He , had that day made his maiden attempt at the installation ceremony , nnd he was very pleased to know he had done it to tho satisfaction of these around him . He assured them ho knew it much better out of the Lodge than he had appeared to know it in the Lodge , but that he
supposed was usually the ease . He considered that his year of offiee had been an eventful one for the Gladsmuir Lodge . First they had been threatened with being forced to find other quarters , hut happily a removal had not been necessary . Then they had had the misfortune to lose two of their Past Masters , and lash , though not least
they had unexpectedly had the opportunity of entertaining Provincial Grand Lodge , iu which matter they had given satisfaction to all the brethren in the district . With all this to attend to he had nnfortunately had no actual work—so far as the ceremonies of Masonry were concerned—but the Lodgo had maintained its reputation bv
what it had done . He had been able to attend regularly in the past , and assured the bue'hren that if it was any way possible thev would always see the jewel they had just presented to him ah their meet , ings with him behind it . The toast of the Visitors was next given . Bro . Kilsby replied . He , and ho felt ho might also sav , all tho
visitors , had so thoroughly enjoyed themselves that night that thev wonld bo anxious to como again . The work in tho Lodge had beep a treat , aud the hospitality of the brethren such as to prove how pleased they were to seo gnesfs among them . Bro . Yonens ( Melbourne ) also replied . He was much indebted to tho Worshipful
Master and the brethren for tho hearty reception acco ded him that day . Although not as regular an attendant at , Lodge meetings as h < . could desire be had tho interests of the Craft thoroughly at heart . Ho bad had some experience of Freemasonry at the , Antipxles , where it was very strong . Only tho previous week he had read of
the consecration of a new Lodge in New Zealand , and it had started with soveuty-nine members . He could also speak strongly of the true Masonic spirit of the Australian and New Zealand brethren During his travels he had been shipwrecked , and was on that occasion entertained by a brother Mason , who took him in and treated him
as only a true Mason could do . Ho should not readil y forget the kindness with which the Visitors had that night been received in the Gladsmuir Lodge . Tlio W . M . next gave the Past Mashers . The brethren who had passed the chair of the Lodge were Masons who could be looked up to and revered . The Lodge might afc all times be
sure of their support and their encouragement . It would be his endeavour to follow in their footsteps . Bro . Yolland tendered thanks for the hearty reception of the toast , assuring the Lodge that tho ser . vices of the Past Masters would always be at the disposal of the brethren . Brother Brittain also repliedand the Worshipful
, Master then proposed the Masonic Charities . No one , ha felt , was more to be pitied than he who , in tho battle of life , had fallen into distress . It was the pnrpose of Freemasonry to help those who were unfortunat e , and ho trusted fcho Gladsmuir Lodge would do its best to support the brethren and others who were forcer ! to appeal for
assistance . Last year had seen the largest amount contributed for Masonio benevolence ever known , and that entailed grave responsibilities . Were tho brethren to consider that as a last dying effort ? Were they to cease activity and be content with less ?—No . They must so act as to prevent a falling off , even if they were not able to
increase the total year by year . Ho had undertaken tho duties of Steward for the Old People , and appealed for tho warmest snpport from the brethren on behalf of those who were unable to appeal for them gaj ^ eg . jjro < Cussans replied in a forcible speech . There were some wj 10 looked upon Freemasonry as cons sting of bnt two things
buffo onery and gluttony , but those who wero initiated knew this was not true—tho aim of every brother was to relievo the wants of others so far as lay in his power . Bro . Cnssa-os referred to some instances which had como under hi . observation in which Masonic charity had been fully exemplified , and in other ways urged the brethren to do
what they could . As a result we aro pleased to sny several amounts were added to the Worship ful Master ' s list . The Officers of tbe Lodgo having been toasted , and a reply having been given , the T yler was summoned , and he concluded the proceedings in the cus t omary mintcr . Several of the members of the Lodgo and visitors were prevented from attending by the inclemency of the weather . Bro . Dr . Haskins presided at the piano ,

" OUR CHILDREN " AT THE PANTOMIME .
A S was shadowed forth at tho consecration of th ^ Dairy Lane ^~ V Lodgo on Monday night , tho enthusiasm of Bro . Augustus Harris is not confined merely to his confreres within the Lodge , but is also extended to the children who are maintained , clohed , and educated in our Institutions at Wood Green and B itt-rsea Rise . His kindly invitation to the little ones of both sexes who ar » tho peculiar
care of tho Cafr , to witness a representation of Aladdin , was received with great rej riciug at both Schools , and tho proprietor of the " National Theatre" has reaped the reward of his well-merited hitent ions by tho soeno that was witnessed iu his nnparelleled resort on Friday of last week . Tho girls left Battersea early in the afternoon
in thirteen well-appointed conveyances , supplied by Mr . Thomas Tilling , the " prince of jobmasters , " of Peckham , ami elsewhere , and arrived at the theatre soon after two o'clock , where , they wero reoeivod by tho genial proprietor-, his brothe- Mr . Charles Harris , Bro . J . Fleming the Treasnrer , Bro . A . M . Br > adley Secretary , and others ,
including Bros . Edgar Bowyer , Frank Richardson , and Robert Grey . They wero under the snperintendence of Miss Davis , tho head mistress , who was assisted by Miss Kernntt and Miss Hammond ; and all looked cheerful aud well as they filed into the corridor of tho theatre , evidently bent on enjoyment . Tho boys , accompanied by their
esteemed head master the Rev . Dr . Morris , travelled by rail from Wood Green to Farringdon Street Station , and marched thence in procession t' > Drury Lane . On their arrival at the theatre they were conduced to tho seats specially allotted them in the pit , and as tbe lads recogni > ed their cheery-faced " sisters" in the balcony , they set
up such a cheer as has seldom been heard to reverberate through the walls of " Old Drury . " It is scarcely necessary to say that the exciting incidents of the Arabian Nights' story , so familiar to every school boy and girl , wero heartily enjoyed , and that the fun of the after burlesque was appreciated . Tho children enjoyed Pantomime
as children always do , and their ringing laughter was most refreshing . All that conld be clone for their enjoyment was done , aud when tho transformation scenes bad been wondoringly admired , and the antics of clown and pantaloon laughed ah , the little ones filed oat into the corridorwhere they wero regaled with rich cake' * , oranges , and
, buns , generously given by Bro . Lord Londesborough , the Worshipful Master of the Drury Lane Lodge . His lordship occupied a seat in the stalls dnring the performance , and seemed heartily to enjoy the ebullition of plea , are evinced by the children . The " distribution "
of the good . things was superintended by Mr . Gibbon , who discharged this labour of love with the utmost readiness , and the little ones were loud in their praise of tho cakes supplied by Messrs . Buzzard , of 197 Oxford Street , and still more for tbe delectable entertainment to which they had been treated through the kind hospitality of Bro . Augustus Harris ,
In reference to the lafce Sir Walter Bun-ell , Prov . Grand Master foe Sussex , it may he said he was an excellent worker himself , and strove by every means in his power to indiico the Masters in his Province to perfect themselves . A good old custom was that of his , —to invite the Masters
annually to a pic-nic at his seat afc East Grinstead , and all who have occupied the W . M . 's chair can testify to the enjoyable nature of these Masonic gatherings . Nothing was left undone that would conduce to tho comfort of his
guests , even to the sending of carriages for their conveyance both morning and evening from and to the railway station . He visited the Lodges in his Province , aud by his universal cheerfulness and kindness won the hearts of
every brother therein . Truth says of him : Another good landlord and zealous agriculturist has passed away iu Sir Walter Barrel I , who had represented tho defunct borough of Shoreham in Parliament for the last ten years , dnring which period
he supported tho Tory leaders ' ' with silence and solicitude . ' He was very popular in Sussex among all classes , and was the head of one of tho oldest families in tho county . He was very kind and charitable to his poor neighbours , and did everything in his power to improve
their condition and to m iko them happy . Sir Walter was an enthu . siastic supporter of all the local cricket clubs , and be took great interest iu the Volunteers .
