advised a thorough investigation of the oharactor of all candidates for admission , and he trusted the W . M . had been careful to appoint good officers , and that those officers would exerfc themselves to carry out their duties in a satisfactory manner . P . M . Col .

consideration thoy had shown him since ho had been in the chair , Ho hoped he should not fail ; he had an eye to tho fact that ho might do so , hence he had boon careful to appoint officers on whoso assistance ho know he might rely .

their third Master . Tho W . M . thon gavo tho toast of tho Visitors , who wore Bros . W . Winn P . M . 657 , W . Maplo G 57 , 0 . Potter 657 , and A . E .

Winn P . M . 657 . Tho health of the Past Masters

followed , and was replied to by Bro . Col . Peters , who deepl y regretted the uuavoidablo absence of Bro . Dr . Brotte tho I . P . M . He might , however , say he was convinced that ho wonld have every assistance from his Rev . Brother to keep up tho character of the Lodge . The W . M . then proposed the health of the Officors , and reforred to tho excellent way in which tho Senior Warden , Bro . Howe , had performed tho

ceromony of installation . With such officers as he had to support him , he was convinced the working would be everything that could be wished . Bro . Howe briefly replied .

M . need attend a Spelling Bee to learn how to spell that word ; he would call to their remembrance tho lines which Lord Lytton had put into tho month of Richelieu , — "In the loxicon of youth that aspires to a bright manhood there must bo no such word as fail . " This he was sure would be

fully endorsed by all prosent . Bro . Morgan concluded by thanking tho brethren for the kind manner in which thoy had responded to the toast . The evening ' s entertainment was enlivened by some excellent singing , Bro . Hislop ' s rendering of "Bon jour , Sizon , " and Bro . Marsh ' s " Empress of the Wave " doserving special commendation . After tho Tyler ' s toast , tho brothron returned to town , expressing themselves gratified at the arrangements which had beon mado for their comfort by Bro . Stone , the host of the Ship .
