PRESENTATION OF A TESTIMONIAL TO BRO . W . H . WALLINGTON .
TT must be a great attraction that attaches to the duties of ¦ * - Masonic Instructors , or we should never find so many talented brethren over ready to devote their timo and attention to this task . This seemed to be fully recognised by the members of our Order who assembled on Saturday last at the Sisters' Tavern , Pownall-road , Dalston , who were gathered together to offer a
meed of praise to ono of the most painstaking and courteous Preceptors of the present day . Bro . Wallington , sinco he accepted the post of Preceptor of the Dalhousie Lodge of Instruction , has given tho members unqualified satisfaction . Ho has thrown into his work an amount of energy rarely eqnalled , and has spared no pains to make those who have sat under him proficient in their
Masonic duties . Under these circumstances wo were not surprised when wo received an intimation that many of his followers desired to give our brother some " portable" mark of their regard . The assembly took place at S o ' clock , when the brethren partook of a modest but substantial repast , which was admirably served by host Smyth . Bro . Dallas , the Secretary of the Lodgo of Instruction , was at tho head of tho table , and be was faced by Bro . J . Ashburner .
On tho removal of tho cloth , the Loyal toast customary at all gatherings of tho brethren was given . Bro . Dallas then rose . He briefly reminded the brethren of what had brought them together . He was pleased , on behalf of his fellow members of the Dalhonsie Lodgo of Instruction , to ask Bro . W . H . Wallington to accept the gifts that were now before them . These comprised an elegant Dining Eoom Clock and stand , and a massive Gold Eing . Bro . Dallas intimated that he had received several letters from
brethren who were unable to be present , bat who had expressed tbeir sympathy with tho movement . Ho , then with a few graceful remarks , begged Bro . Wallington to accept the gifts it afforded him so much pleasure to present on behalf of those on whose behalf he acted . Bro . Wallington said he hardly knew how to thank them . He had been Master in a Lodge , and had addressed the brethren on many occasions , but had never before been placed in such a position as the one ho now stood in . He could assure his brethren that
until but a few days ago he was not aware they had any inten . tion of so tangibly marking their appreciation of the services ho had been ablo to render them . Bro . Dallas had taken him by surprise when he had requested him to suggest what form the testimonial should tako ; but when he found that it was a work completed , and it only remained for him to declare what would
bo most acceptable to him , he copied tho words nsed by their worth y Bro . Constable , who had declared on a similar occasion any gift that wonld jileaso his wifo wonld please him . He thanked them heartily and sincerely for their handsome gifts ; he assured them what he had dono had been dono from a pure lovo of tho Craft , and for the instruction of those who had been associated with him . Bro .
Wallington concluded a capital speech by trusting ho might meet them on many future occasions . In reply to his health , proposed by Bro . W W . Morgan , Bro . Dallas remarked that his utmost endeavours would be exerted to promote the happiness and comfort of those around him . He referred to absent friends , and regretted that since the removal of tho Lodge of lash-notion from tho TriaDgle , cirenmstances had prevented the attendance of many who were most energetic in tho
earlier days . However , they were still surrounded by old and tried friends , and be joined Bro . Wallington in saying he trusted they might assemble on many future occasions . Several other toasts wero given , and brief replies made . The proceedings were enlivened b y somo capital songs and recitations . Bros . George Weige , Dallas , Young , Brastcd , Lorkin , Ashburner , Wallington , Brown , Fovss , & c , rendering good service . The brethren did not separate until a lato hour .
The inscription on tho Clock was as follows ;—" Presented to William Henry Wallington by the brethren of the Dalhousie Lodgo of Instruction , as a token of the high esteem in which he is held by them as a personal friend , and for the efficient and truly Masonic manner in which he has fulfilled the duties of Preceptor for somo years past .
