THE installation meeting of this Lodge was held , at the Cannon Street Hotel , on Thursday , 27 th ult ., when Bro . Edwin Brooks •was installed as Worshipful Master for the year . . The Lodge was regularly opened , and the report of the Audit Committee was submitted . After having been balloted for and duly elected , Mr . Edward George Townsend was initiated into the mysteries of the Craf r , and then the ceremony of the day was proceeded with , the new Master
being placed in the chair by Bro . Heath P . M ., in the presenoe of a numerous Board of Installed Masters . Bro . Brooks appointed the following as tho Officers of the Lodge for the year , and they were invested : —Bros . H . Heck S . W ., J . F . Haden J . W ., W . J . Miller P . M . Treasurer , W . Worrell P . M . Secretary , Dr . J . Pickett S . D ., R . C . Wilson J . D ., M . Woolf I . G ., F . 0 . Heath D . C ., W . Pierson A . D . G .,
E . Kidman P . M . and A . E . Samuell Stewards . Tho ceremony of installation was completed , and matters of general business having been disposed of , the Lodge was closed , and the company adjourned to the banquet , whioh was presided over by the new Worshipful Master . The regDlar Loyal toasts were honoured , tho name of Bro . Gnrrod being associated with that of the Grand Officers .
Bro . Garrod referred to the many previous occasions ho had spoken to this toast in the William Preston Lodge , but remarked ho was none the less pleased to do so then on that account . The loss of tho Earl of Carnarvon had not yet been forgotten , nor would it ever bo so long as those with whom the late Earl had worked were among us . Bro . F . G . Barns Immediate Past Master gave the health of the new
ruler of the Lodge , for whom he wished , in the name of all the brethren , long life , health and happiness . He felt Bro . Brooks was capable of discharging the duties of the chair , and that he would do all that lay in his power to make his term of office a success in the Lodge . In reply , the Master expressed the gratification he felt in being so kindly received in his new position . He recognised he was
not nearly so capable as his predecessor had endeavoured to make out , and he shonld hardly like to be so good as Bro . Barns had described , for it was well known that all the good people died yonng , and he did not wish to be inclnded in that category . He felt the responsibility of his high office , and could only hope he might be able to leave the Lodge at the end of his term of office in a better
condition than that it occupied that day , and at the same time win the good opinion of the members . The next toast was that of the retiring Master , who had seoured for the members some very pleasant gatherings during tho past year . Not the least enjoyable for the Lodge was when the members met to help celebrate Bro . Barns ' s jubilee . The Master hoped the jewel he was about to present to his
predecessor would not only call to mind that auspicious event , but wonld also remind their Immediate Past Master of the whole period of his association with the Lodge , and convince him of the appreciation felt by the members at the close of his year of office . Brother Barns having been invested with the Past Master's jewel , tendered his thauks . He felt bound to say he did not regard his efforts as
worthy of the kind reception they had met with in the Lodge . He particularly had to thank tbe Past Masters and Officers for the assistance they had rendered him , aud assured the members generally that he shonld regard their handsome present as a pleasing souvenir of his association with the Lodge , which had now extended over a period of sixteen year ' s . He wished to ask the Worshipful Master to
accept , on behalf of the Lodge , a little present , in tho form of a charity box , which he had provided for their future use . The gift of the Immodiate Past Master was cordially accepted , and at once started on its mission , in accord with the general desire of the company present . On the return of the box from its travels tho contents
were put up to anction , as is usual at this Lodge , and ultimately knocked dowu for £ 6 , which handsome sura it was agreed should be devoted to relieving the necessities of a widow who has long been cared for by the Lodge whenever opportunity presented itself . As a result of a little outside speculation , an additional eight shillings found its way iuto the box , aud was an agreeable addition to the amount

received for the case referred to . The toast of the initiate was then honoured the Master hoping that in due course their newly admitted Brother might rise to the highest dignity in their midst .
