Installation Meetings, &C.
a Board of Installed Masters was duly constituted , and Bro . Wright was installed with all the impressive rites of the Order . On the readmission of the brethren , the newly-elected W . M . was sainted with the customary honours , and he then proceeded to invest his Officers as follow . —Bros . E . Garnet-Man I . P . M ., Jas . Perkins . CO ., P . M .
S . W ., H . Squire , CO ., J . W ., Rev . G . J . Scott Chaplain , R . J . Pawl-v Treasurer , Joseph E . Turner Secretary , II . Clarke , CO ., S . D ., J . Perry-Godfrey P . M . J . D ., Frank S . Jackson I . G ., J . C . Whiddingtin D . of C , F . A . Jewson Organist , B . Emanuel and B . Morice Steward * , and Lovell Tyler ( in the room of Bro . Church , deceased ) . In investing
his Officers , the Worshipful Master addressed each in suitable terms on the nature of his respective duties , and the manner in which this portion of the ceremony was sustained elicited the heartiest applause . The ancient charges to the Master , Wardens and Officers were given in eloquent manner by Brother Sir J . B .
Monckton , whose working was much admired . The Auditors ' report , which showed that the position of the Lorlge was in every respect satisfactory , was received and adopted , and after the transaction of some further business the brethren and visitors adjourned to the Throne Room , where a sumptuous banquet was provided by Messrs .
Hitter and Clifford , whose arrangements wero all that could be desired . At dessert the Loyal and Masonic toasts were duly honoured , the W . M ., in giving the Qeen and the Craft , observing that her Majesty had evinced a great interest in Freemasonry , and three of her sons had been members of the Order , though
one of them ( the late Duke of Albany ) had unfortunately been taken from them . It was almost unnecessary to remind the brethren of the great interest the Most Worshipful Grand Master took in everything concerning the Craft ; but he might tell the younger members of the Lodge that his Royal Highnoss had been visiting
Sweden , where he was initiated into Masonry in the year 187-1 . Since he became Grand Master , on the resignation of the Marquis of Ripon , in 1875 , Freemasonry had grown and flourished to an enormous extent , far beyond what any of them had anticipated ; and when the time came that the Prince of Wales should resign tho
appointment—if he should do so on attaining to the Throne of this realm—they all knew that his eldest son , Prince Albert Victor , had been initiated into the Order , and no doubt he would follow in the footsteps of his illustrious father , and take the same interest that he had done in Masonry . The Prince of Wales did nofc appear so frequently
in the Masonic world as some other Grand Masters had done , yefc he promoted the welfare of the Craffc in every possible way . The Worshipfnl Master next proposed fche Grand Officers , speaking of the ability with which they presided over the affairs of Grand Lodge , and tbe toast was suitably acknowledged by Captain Philips
P . G . D ., who paid a high tribute to tho manner in which the bnsiness of Grand Lodge was controlled and carried on by the Officers whose names had been enumerated by the Worshipful Master . Bro . F . Green , CO ., in giving the toast of the evening , regretted that ifc shonld have been entrusted to him , in the enforced absence of the
I . P . M . Circnmstances had , however , prevented Bro . Gardner-Man being present on this occasion , ancl ifc devolved upon him ( che speaker ) to submit to them the health oP the Worshipful Master , which he was assured would be received with the utmost warmth and cordiality . Ifc was a matter of prido to the Alliance Lodge to look
back upon its line of Masters , and by experience they were prompted to regard them as men who had always striven to the uttermost of their power to promote the welfare and prosperity of the Lodge . He conld assure them thafc Bro . Wright , whom they had seen installed in the chair to-day , and who would for the next twelve months preside
over tho working of the Alliance Lodge , would not fall short of their expectations , but would certainly contribute to the wellbeing of the Lodge , by presiding over its work in a masterly and efficient way He was pleased to see the manner in which he had invested hia Officers , aud believed that the work Bro . Wright had discharged in the
Lodge must have impressed them favourably , and assured them of his eagerness to advance the interests of the Lodge . Bro . Green concluded by wishing the new Master a year oi happiness and prosperity . The Worshipful Master , in acknowledging the toast , said he was very glad Brother Green had
proposed it , because he was one of the members of the Lodge of whom he knew least . He hoped he should be able to realise half the kind things thafc had been said of him , and thafc afc the end of his year of office he might hand over the warrant of the Lodge to his successor as pure and unsullied as he had received ifc . He could scarcely hope
fco add to the prestige of the Lodge , because he felt a difficulty in succeeding to the long line of Past Masters who had gone before him . But as the Lord Mayor elect said , when chosen on Michaelmas Day , " although he felt a difficulty in succeeding so eminent a chief magistrate as Lord Mayor Fowler ho was not disposed to fear it . " So ,
in a humbler sphere , he ( the speaker ) was not disposed to fear as fco the duties which had been entrusted to him . There wern thxve peculiarities about the position he now held . He was the first Past Master who had risen fco the chair in this Lodge ; he was the youngest in age , and he was 'he only bachelor Past Master . These were three
things which in the course of time he hoped to remedy . In conclusion he proposed the health of the Installing Master , and in doing so regretted thafc Bro . Sir John Monckton had been unable to remain with them . Bro . Sir John not only held an important and responsible position in connection with the Corporation of the City of
London , but in his Masonic life had installed every Master of this Lodge since he filled the chair as its first President . He ( the speaker ) should be very sorry to break that continuity ; and much as he should like to instal his successor when the time came , he would loyally give way to Bro . Sir John Monckton should he desire to
retain tho functions he had so long and so ably discharged . He felt highly honoured afc having been installed " by so distinguished a member of fche Craft ; moreover , it was Brother Sir John
Monckton who first introduced him into Freemasonry . In responding for the Visitors , wbo were accorded a honrtv welcome , Coloiel Perils P . G . S . B . thanked the W . M . for having so kindly associated his name with the toast . Ifc had afforded him creat
Installation Meetings, &C.
pleasure to be present that evening , and when the Worshipfnl Master mentioned about having met him ( the speaker ) at the Girls' School , whether it was at a dance or doing his duty in an official capacity , it certainly gave him an opportunity of being invited to this hospitable board , —which he much appreciated . Major General Hunt also
responded , and in the course of his remarks observed that that waa the first time he had had the pleasure of attending a Lodge in London , and it had afforded him great satisfaction to see the work done as it had been carried oub that day . He had visited several Provincial Lodges , but there was nothing to equal the wonderfully beautiful
manner in which Sir John Monckton performed the ceremony of installation that day . He sincerely trnsted he might have another opportunity of seeing the ceremony repeated . As to their
hospitality he had never seen anything more lavish and generous . He had received the hospitality of Loudon on two or three occasions , and he assured them that he had of late appreciated the kindness of the citizens of London more than ever he had done before in hia life . He
returned his heartiest thanks for the courtesy and kindness he had experienced on every hand . Several other Visitors having replied , the W . M . proposed the health of the Immediate Past Master , and the Past Masters of the Lodge ; in doing so he expressed regret at the absence of Bro . Man , who was engaged in work which was never
alluded to in Masonry . He was more sorry that their I . P . M . was not present , because it would have been his privilege to ask him to stand up while he ( the speaker ) pinned to his breast the handsome Past Master ' s jewel whioh had been unanimously voted him by the Lodge . However , that pleasure was to come , and he hoped at the next
meeting Bro . Man would be present , so that he might be able to adorn his breast . He should try to emulate the example of the Past Masters , and so to advance the success and usefulness of the Alliance Lodge . Bro . Major T . Davies Sewell , who was received with applause , took credit to himself for his desire to serve the
interests of the Lodge under all circumstances . Probably many of the hi-ethren present would consider he had done something in having had the honour of proposing their present W . M . as a member of their Lodge , although perhaps that was not speaking to order . He had had a lot of order lately , acting as Common Crier in the Court of
Common Council . He asked permission to say that after the able way in which their W . M . had performed his dnties that evening , he might claim credit for a certain amount of perspicuity in having proposed Bro . Wright for admission into this Lodge . He thanked them for the kindness with which his name was invariably received iu the
Alliance Lodge , and concluded by saying he shonld continue . to do all in his power to advance its prosperity . Tho health of . the Treasurer and Secretary was then given , and responded to by Bros . Pawlev and Turner , after which the Officers were complimented , aud
the Tyler brought fche list to a befitting close . The proceedings were enlivened by a capital selection of mnsic , rendered by a quartette party , under the able direction of Bro . Harry Tipper , ancl a most enjoyable evening was passed .
