M ., in proposing the health of the Worshipful Master , Bro . Blinkhorn , spoke in terms of

eulogy of their new chief . He had already distinguished himself in the several offices he had previously filled , and there was no doubt in his ( Bro .

's took in the Islington Lodge , and was firmly persuaded it would go on increasing in strength and prosperity . Bro . Thompson ' s name was associated

witb the toast of the " Masonic Charities , " and , having pressed their claims on the brethren with considerable eloquence and taste , he was fortunately in a position to announce that his list for the Boys' Festival in Jnne next already reached the sum of £ 5119 s .
