Wharton Lodge. No. 2045.

WHARTON LODGE . No . 2045 .

ON the North-West side of London , midway between KUbanx Harlesden , and Kingsbury , stands the ancient little village oi Willeaden . small in itself but the centre of a large district already in tbe bands of tbe builders , and which will ere long be an important London suburb . There ,- on tbe 29 th of July , at tbe White Hart Hotel , a number of brethren , some of them distinguished amongst the Craft , and nil apparently earnest Masons , assembled , on the occasion

of tbe Consecration of a new Lodge , appropriately called " Tbe Wharton , " in honour of the Vicar of tie Parish , who has resided at the vicarage 21 years , and has devoted much labour to Freemasonry . Moreover , he is a Past Provincial Grand Chaplain of Berks and Bucks , and esteemed , botb for his devotion to his church and the general interest he takes in the welfare of all who have the pleasure

of his acquaintance . The Lodge room forms a pretty , and by no means inconvenient Temple . The Tyler is provided with a snitable room , with access to the Hotel , Garden , and Lodge . The banqueting room is separate from the Temple , and is well adapted for Masonic purposes , there being every convenience for the comfort of the brethren . Punctually at 4 the V . W . Bro . Col . Shadwell H . Gierke P . G . D .. Grand Secretary of England , took the chair of King Solomon

and performed the ceremonies of Consecration and Installation in his accustomed easy and graceful manner . He was ably assisted by W . Bros . Frederick Davison G . S . D . as S . W ., George Lambert P . G . S . B . as J . W ., Eev . Ambrose Hall P . G . Chap , as Chaplain , Frank Richardson P . G . D . as Director of Ceremonies , Levick P . P . G . S . D . as I . G . There were also present : —Bros . Leterd P . M . 255 , Frank Harold P . M . 1056 , Henry Stiles P . M . 1507 ( the founders of the

Lodge ) ; Harmon 1507 , Shoobnt 766 , J . S » per P . M . 1769 , A . Barnes P . M . 1050 , S . P . Walker W . M . 733 , W . Cnff P . M . 1608 , F . Lamena P . M . 255 , A . Ball 50 , H . Turner W . M . 1608 , S . Polak P . M . 1608 ,

Bead P . M . 1287 and 183 , T . Crannnr 172 , G . Cheviot 901 , & c , & c . Bro . EL Stiles P . M . 1507 , assisted by Bros . W . M . Stiles , Harmon , Wharton , and Gawith , very efficiently carried oat the musical portion

of the service . In addressing the assembled brethren , the Consecrating Officer explained the motive of the meeting , and proceeded to say that the number of Lodges in London had pretty well reached its limit . New neighbourhoods , however , were the exception , and in this instance there was no Lodge in the locality ; tbe facts of the case had been represented by several brethren of repute , and the

Grand Master had granted a Warrant for a new Lodge . He would advise the brethren not to be in a hurry to bnild np a Lodge . It was too common a fault to hasten to make up a large list of member ? , to the danger of admitting those who were nofc suitable . The outside world took more interest now than heretofore in Freemasonry , and the fame of the Institut ' on and the munificent Charities of the

Order was a powerful attraction to many to join who afterwards found themselves in a false position . Care shonld be exercised in the admission of members , and time should be taken in order to select those who were really capable of appreciating the Craft . A good beginning had been made in the selection of the W . M . designate , whose experience would be valuable , and through whom high hopes might be formed of the future of the Lodge . The petition and

Warrant were read in due course . The former was signed by tbe following brethren : —Bros . W . Side P . M . and H . elect 1507 , B , J . Bnde I . G . 511 , H . Charlton 1101 , Bev . J . 0 . Wharton P . P . Grard Chaplain Berks and Bucks 591 , A . H . Lonsrhurs P . M . P . Z . 1425 , A - K . Bude 1366 , J . Jnckson Gawith S . W . 708 . The petition was recommended by the Kilburn Lodge , meeting at the Queen ' s Hotel , Kuburn , through its Officers , as follows : —Bros . Turner W . M ., G . A . Barclay S . W ., W . J . Warlton J . W . The oration of Rev . A . Hall was

an able composition , and dealt chiefly with certain points of interest in connection with the Fraternity . It was declaimed with the author ' s accustomed energy , and was very warmly approved . The Consecration was then proceeded with , and carried on in the manner so characteristic of Bro . Shadwell Gierke . After the final benediction , the W . M . designate , Bro . W . Side , was duly installed into the

chair by Bro . Gierke , who omitted a portion of the service as the W . M . had passed tha chair . After the usual salutes had been made , and congratulations offered , Bro . Bude was appointed S . W ., Charlton J . W ., Rev . J . Wharton Treas . and Chaplain , Gawith Secretary . The appointments of the other Officers were deferred until next meeting . Bro . Thomas was appointed and invested as Tyler .

Several candidates were proposed for initiation , and names handed in as joining members . The W . M ., in a few well considered words , spoke of tbe important position he had just been placed iu , and moved that a special vote of thanks be given to the Consecrating Officer for his services that day , and to those brethren who had so ably assisted him , also offering them the Honorary Membership of

the Lodge . Bro . Gawith seconded the resolution . Bro . Colonel Gierke , in returning thanks for himself and Brother Grand Officers , accepted with pleasare the membership accorded them by the unanimous vote of tbe Lodge . The Lodge was then closed in due form , and the brethren sat down to dinner in the banqueting room . Tbe W . M . was supported by Colonel Gierke and Bro . Richardson on

his right , and the Rev . Bro . Hall , Bros . Davison and Lambert on his left . In all about 40 brethren sat down . The dinner was served a la Rnss , and was of the most recherche description . A feature that should be especially mentioned was the magnificent display of flowers with whioh the table and room was decorated , while great praise is due to Bro . T . B . Jones for the very successful manner in

which he carried out his first Masonio banquet . After tho removal of the cloth , the Royal and Masonic toasts followed in quick succession . The W . M . proposed the health of the Consecrating Officers , which was responded to by Bro . Ambrose Hall . Col . S . H . Gierke proposed the health of the W . M ., and in an able speech spoke of his past work and the bright future before him . The W . M . suitably

replied , and then proposed the "Visitors , " calling upon tlio ^ . Read , Stiles and Harold ; these brethren returned thanka . Tho musical programme was nnder the direction of Bro . Suit's , Bros . Harman , Buvold and Charlton assisting . The Tyler ' s toast , about 10 . 30 , brought to a close a very pleasant day , and nil parted well pleased , wishing the W . M . and the Wharton Lodge every future success .

PLTJ 0 KNETT LODGE , No . 1708 . A VERY pleasant summer outing of the above Lodge was held on Thursday , 21 st Jnly . The brethren assembled at Charing Cross Station at eleven a . m ., where they found saloon carriages waiting to convey them to Sevenoaks . Here they found several commodious brakes had been provided , and the party drove to Pauley ' s Hotel , and after partaking of a slight lunch , had a splendid drive round the

scenery of Knowle Park , fche beauties of which pleasant locality were much appreciated ; the brethren returned to the hotel at half , past four , and sat down to a mosfc recherche banquet , which had been provided for them by the host . The whole of the arrangements were
