IT is an acknowledged axiom that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy , and it has been as frequently urged that hard work seldom kills . We are not , however , called upon on the present occasion to discuss these knotty points , but to record the doinss of the brethren of this popular Lodge at its anniversary meeting , whioh was held at Anderton ' s Hotel , Fleet-street , on 31 st ult . For those who
are fond of work , there was an abundance . The agenda contained the names of four candidates for initiation , three for passing , and two for raising . In addition , there was the incoming Master to be installed . Lodge was opened soon after half . past two , by the W . M ., Bro . Charles Lorkin , who was supported during the day by his Past Masters , Officers , and several well-known and influential Visitors .
After the minutes of the last regular meeting had been read and put for confirmation , the Report of the Audit Committee was received . The ballot was next taken for the following candidates for initiation : —Mr . Frank Smith and Mr . Philip Webb Rogers , who were proposed by Bro . Smyth W . M . elect , seconded by Bro . Lorkin W . M . ; for Mr . Esmond John Turnbull , proposed by Bro . Munro , seconded by
Bro . Brand P . M . Treasnrer ; for Mr . William Milford , proposed by Bro . Lee P . M . Secretary , seconded by Bro . Brand P . M . Treasurer ; and for Mr . William Parsons , proposed by Bro . Dallas , seoonded by Bro . Smyth W . M . elect . The result was in favour of each of these candidates . Bros . Dodd and Stokes were then raised by the W . M ., who afterwards passed Bros . Caperoe and East to the degree of
Fellow Craft . The W . M . elect , Bro . Charles W . Smyth , was then introduced , and regularly installed in the ohair of King Solomon . The following were the Officers invested : —Bros . J . L . Payne S . W ., A . Ferrar J . W ., W . H . Brand P . M . Treasurer , W . H . Lee P . M . Seoretary , R . Polak S . D ., G . Ferrar J . D ., A . R . Olley I . G ., W . Beasley M . C , A . Leoffler and J . H . Rioh Stewards , J . Marsh Tyler .
The next business was to initiate the four candidates named above . This duty devolved upon the new Master , who proved himself an adept , performing the ceremony in a careful and impressive manner . Routine work next received attention , and after hearty good wishes had been tendered , Lodge was olosed . After a liberally-Bupplied banquet , the W . M . proceeded to give the toast list consideration . It
was a long one , liberally interspersed with songs , duets , ballads , and pianoforte BOIOS . The usual toasts were severally and worthily proposed and received , Bros . F . Wood , Alfred Alderton , and Miss M . Lorkin happily filling np the intervals between with songs and music . The same may be said of Miss L . Smyth , who favoured the brethren with a conple of ballads . Master Snow also assisted
to vary and make the proceedings enjoyable by his singing . The musical arrangements were under the direction of Bro . Dr . J . F . Haakins , who proved his fitness for the task he ban undertaken . The health of tho Worshipful Master was drank with great heartiness , as was that of the Installing Master , Bro . Charles Lorkin I . P . M . The W . M . had given evidence of his qualifications
during the work of the Lodge , and the brethren felt that in Brother Smyth they had got a worthy successor to Bro . Lorkin . The latter brother was presented with a Past Master ' s jewel , proof sufficient that he had discharged his duties to the satisfaction of the Lodge . It could scarcely have been otherwise , for Bro . Lorkin is a good
worker , and he gave a further proof of his skill by the admirable way in which he installed his successor . Several other toasts followed , including that of the Visitors * , which was duly honoured and responded to . The proceedings were brought to a conclusion with the Tyler's toast , but not until all the necessary and usual courtesies had been shown .
