Adolphns George Langford , who had been initiated in
tho Sincerity Lodge , No . 17-1 , bnt whoso business engagements had prevented bis being present at subsequent meetings of his own Lodgo ; moreover , he was now about to start for Riga , but before leaving this country , was anxious to advance a step in the Craft . All formalities requisite on these occasions being complied with , Bro . Langford was examined and in due course passed . The ballot was thou
brought into request for Mr . John Allsop Harrison , a candidate for initiation , and for Bro . Richard Stevens Sly , of Faith Lodge , No . 141 , as a joining member . In both cases was tho result satisfactory , and tho W . M . initiated the first named . Bro .

degrees . Bro . Thos . Mortlock , ono of the honorary members , then formally presented an elegantly bound copy of the Constitutions , as also a copy of the Bye Laws of the Lodge , for tho use of the W .

On the re-assembliug of tbe brethren all expressed their gratification at the way the tables had been set out .

whore space is limited . Bro . Huggett presided , and was supported right and left by Bros . John Hervey , Grand Secretary , and the I . P . M . Bro . Lacey . The dinner was capitally served , but , considering the lateness of the hour , was , to our mind , somewhat too long about . However , as to the quality of tho viands the brethren were unanimous in their expressions of satisfaction . The cloth being cleared , the
several toasts were given in rapid succession . Bro . Hervey replied for the Grand Officers . On rising ho said : —Brethren , at this late hour of the evening I will not let one moment elapse ere I acknowledge the reception given to the toast by the brethren all round the room . I think it an honour to have my name associated with such noblemen as Lords Carnarvon and Skelmersdale . Despite the
heavy demands upon his time by his colonial duties , the Earl of Carnarvon does not forget what is required of him by the Craft . As to Lord Skelmersdale , all I can say will fall short of expressing the esteem in which he is held ; I would remark that if you wish further evidence of this I must recommend you to go down to Lancashire , there I am convinced you will obtain it . Ib has been said that no
prophet has hononr in his own country ; here you will find a rule to the contrary . I now coino to the difficult portion of my task ; the kindness with which you have received me to-day , both here and in the Lodge , I greatly appreciate , I may say I feel at home here ; I feel among friends . If , as your Worshipful Master has said , I did yon any kindness twelve months ago , I am amply repaid by
witnessing tho prosperous condition in which I find the Lodge . In byogotie days it had been remarked that I had been chary in my visits to this part of tho metropolis , I do not think these remarks were warranted . I find that I havo a numerous progeny ot Lodges , consecrated by myself , hereabout , aud will enumerate some : —the Langthorne , the Guclph , the Burdett Contts , your own the Tredegar ,
and latterly tho Eleanor and the All Saints . All are progressing most satisfactorily , and I rejoice in having a progeny so healthy . There is ono thing I would urge upon all—Do not make your Lodge too large . The Master will always bo ablo to carry out tho duties pertaining to his office if the members will submit to his rule , and iu this ho will be greatly assisted if his officers will qualify themselves
to efficiently perform their duties . Bro . Hervey then begged the brethren to excuse him if his remarks had been too long , and con - cluded by again thanking one and all for the way in which he had been received . The health of the W . M . was proposed by Bro . Lacey ; all present knew him ; and all believed ho would do whatever he conld to advance the interests of the Lodge , After a patriotic sons ' ,
