INSTALLATION MEETINGS , & c .
PRINCE LEOPOLD LODGE , No . 1445 .
THE installation meeting of this rising Lodge was held on 1 fairsday , the 2 nd instant , when there wero present many influential brethren to welcome the new Master on his induction into tho chair of K . S . Tho Prince Leopold , thongh its years are but few , has already had its vicissitudes . It started under most favourable auspices , and with an excellent array of brethren as founders . But , as not unfrequently happens , the list of founders has since diminished in numbers , for tho ordinary reason that certain among them have
satisfied their ambition , and having assisted to start the Prince Leopold on its journey , are content to leave it to advance as best it can . However , on an anspieions occasion like tho one we aro about recounting , it wonld seem unbecoming to lay any stress on shortcomings which may be excusable , ancl which certainly had no deterrent effect on the joyous gathering of last Thursday , when full honour was done to the new Master on his installation . Bro . T . E .
Goddard is a good fellow , if we may be permitted to use so common and so profane an expression . In the miner offices of the Lodge he has shown himself a worthy , able , and painstaking brother , ancl it is only fitting that his career in the Prince Leopold should be crowned as satisfactorily as it has been . The Lodge was opened with the usual preliminaries , and , as an emergency had been held a short time
previously with a view to clearing off all ordinary business , the Lodge was at once able to proceed to the business of installation . Bro . S . Love Green W . M . presided at the outset , but the duties of installing officer were undertaken by Bro . W . H . Myers P . M ., who , it is needless to say , performed his part most ably ancl successfully . Bro . Goddard was then congratulated and saluted , in accordance with custom , and the
appointment and investment of Officers followed , tho several offices being awarded as follow , viz .: —Bros . N . D . Partridge S . W ., S . Lewis J . W ., W . H . Myers P . M . and Treasurer , G- E . Walters P . M . Secretary , Macdonald S . D ., Robson J . D ., MacGregor I . G ., G . C . Young W . M . 820 Organist , Kimble M . C , Seymonr-Clarke W . S ., Winkle / A . S ., and J . J . Marsh Tyler . Tbe other business of the day having
been completed , the Lodge was closed with the customary formalities , ancl the brethren adjourned to a most excellent banquet , such as mine host of the Mitford Tavern may congratulate himself upon having served . It is not often that we go out of our way to pay a compliment to a landlord , as compliments are unnecessary in the ordinary course of things , and the Mitford Tavern knows but
too well how meet the taste of its guests . But the dinner on this occasion was in very way worthy of the reputation of the house , and wo should regard it as—at all events—a compliment to onr digestive organs if all hosts showed themselves as determined to please as onr worthy friend of the Mitford . A word , too , will not be out of place in respect to the dinner-card , which was ono of tho
tastiest of the kind we have ever seen . On the removal of the cloth , the Worshipful Master proposed , in the regular order of sequence , the usual Loyal and Masonic toasts , a few appropriate remarks serving to commend each in turn to the notice of tho brethren . The toast of the evening—namely , thafc of the Worshipful Master—was suitably proposed by Bro .
S . Love Green , who in complimentary bufc well-deserved terms , spoke of the many sterling qualities by which he was distinguished . In all the offices he had filled previously tho W . Master had proved himself a worthy and energetic Mason , one who shrank from no labour or trouble if he saw his way to being of any service . He , therefore , anticipated that the ensuing year would be a most fortunate
one , as it was impossible the Lodge could do otherwise than prosper under the genial auspices of their new Master . Bro . Goddard , after a brief interval , rose and acknowledged the complimentary terms in which his health had been proposed by Bro . Love Green , and the handsome reception it had experienced at the hands of those present . He was afraid he should hardly realise the glowing picture
which had been drawn of him by his friend ancl brother , but he had the heart to do what was required of him , ancl it shonld be for no lack of will on his part if the Lodge did not prosper as greatly under his auspices as it bad done nnder his able predecessors in the chair . Bro . Goddard concluded a most effective speech by proposing the toast of the Past Masters , associating with it the name of Bro .
Love Green , his immediate predecessor in the chair , who , on all occasions both in season and out of season , had devoted his time and energy in order to promote the welfare of the Lodge . He congratulated Bro . Green on the testimony he had that evening received of the affectionate regard entertained for hirn by the members of the Lodge , and he conld only hope that , when his own year of office came to an
end , he should find his services had been as highly appreciated . Bro . Green , in suitable terms , acknowledged the compliment paid to him in particular , ancl to the Past Masters generally , who , he felt convinced , had no other object in Masonic life than to promote the welfare of their young ancl prospering Lodge . Bro . Myers , one of the worthiest and most genial of Past Masters , offered a few
remarks , in the course of which ho gave some sage advice , which was listened to with that appreciative attention which an excellent brother's remarks invariably evokes . Tbe toast of the Visitors was proposed in appropriate terms , and suitably acknowledged by Bro . G . Ward Verry , who expressed the great gratification which both he
and his fellow guests had experienced , and also congratulated the Ledge on the success which bad attended it during its brief career . The Tyler ' s toasfc brought a most enjoyable evening to a close . Wc may add that a Past Master ' s jewel , in recognition of tbo services he had rendered to the Ledge during his year of office , was presented to , and feelingly acknowledged by , Bro . Love Green .

ST . JAMES'S LODGE , No . 482 .
THE members of this flourishing Lodge assembled at thoir now Masonic Rooms , Wretham-road , Soho Hill , Handsworth , on Monday . There was a very largo attendance , and somo of the most energetic Masons of tho Provinces of Staffordshire ancl Warwickshiro assembled to do honour to tho ceremony of Installing Bro . John Deeley into the chair for tho ensuing year . Lodge was opened .
punctually at three o clock , when tho W . M . Bro . J . F . Pepper was supported by Bros . John Deeley S . W ., E . P . Kimpton J . W ., E . W . Bradley S . D ., F . W . Payton J . D ., Rev . Wm . Randall , Rector of Handsworth , Chap ., J . Jacobs P . M . P . P . G . R . Treas ., C . W . Perkins Org . ; P . M . ' s Joseph Rowlands P . G . J . W ., J . Jacobs P . P . G . R ., F . Derry ,

W ., and several others whose names we were unable to ascertain . The Lodge had hardly settled itself down when
it was announced that the Depnty Or . Master of tbe Province , Bro . Singleton Tudor , was in waiting , ancl instructions for his honourable reception were issued forthwith . When the nsual compliments had been paid him , Bro . Tudor was pleased to occupy the chair while a portion of the business was transacted , which portion included the reading and confirmation of the minutes of the previous meeting . In
due course , Bro . Deeley S . W . and W . M . elect , was presented for tho benefit of installation , ancl our worthy brother was accordingly in . stalled into the chair of K . S . in the presence of a board of no less than thirty-two installed Masters—a presence which , at all events , shows tho deep interest taken by the veterans of the Craffc in tho ordinary labours of Freemasonry . We may mention here thafc the
ceremony was fulfilled by Bro . J . F . Pepper I . P . M ., whose conduct in the chair left nothing to be desired . After Bro . Deeley had received the congratulations and salutations of those present he appointed the following brethren as his Officers for the year , namely , Bros . E . P . Kimpton S . W ., W . Wykes J . W ., J . Jacobs P . M . Treasurer , E . W . Bradley Secretary , Rev . W . Randall Chaplain ,
F . Payton S . D ., Charles Payton J . D ., Horton I . G ., C . W . Perkins Org ., Whittall P . M . M . C , and Chaplin Tyler , with Bros . Thomas Smith and G . J . Payton as Stewards . When the business had been completed , the brethren adjourned to an excellent banquet , provided and served by their own people on their own plate . So nnnsual a circumstance is worth recording , and
it -would be well if other Lodges followed so admirable an example . The dinner itself , and the manner in which it was served , would have put many of our most experienced hotel ancl tavern keepers to the blush , ancl the brother who rightly thinks much of dining , and dined at Handsworth on Monday , must- be said to havo added largely to his experience of what is worth knowing .
When ample justice had been done to the viands , the cloth was removed , ancl the various Loyal and Masonic toasts were proposed in regular order , tho W . M . offering a few pertinent remarks in commendation of each . The agreeable task of proposing the health of Bro . John Deeley W . M . devolved upon Brother Rowlands P . M ., who , albeit a fluent and ablo speaker , had his work cut out in
order to do justice to tho toast . He pointed out how that Bro . Deeley had , by a long and active course of zealous service , shown himself worthy of the high trust ; thafc day reposed in him by the Lodgo . In the course of its existence of close on forty years the St . James ' s Lodge had had its due proportion nofc only of honourable mon—for aro nofc all Masons honourable ?—bufc
also of capable , courteous , and genial brethren , who make light of trouble when there was a chance of the interests of Freemasonry being promoted . Bro . Deeley had proved his worth in the subordinate offices he had filled , ancl he ( Brother Rowlands ) was well satisfied that he would be equally successful in the more onerous duties of the chair . Both the speech of the proposer
and of Bro . Deeley in reply were cordially applauded by the memhers and their guests , and we have good reason for anticipating that , if it should be our good fortune to visit Handsworth at the corresponding period next year , we shall hear Bro Deeley ' s success as W . M . spoken of in as complimentary terms then as have been his pasfc services just recently . Bro Deeley appropriately responded to the
toast , and expressed a hope that he might be found , afc the end of his year of office , fco have realised the expectations which had been formed of him . The toast of the visitors was responded to by Bro . Mclnfcee , ancl thafc of the Installing Master Bro . Pepper I . P . M . was most ; warmly honoured by all present . The toasfc of the Past Masters and tho Officers followed , aud that of the Tyler brought the proceedings of tho
evening to a most agreeable termination . Rev . Bro . Randall , in tho course of au able and exhaustive speech in . reply to fchafc of tho Officers , expressed the pleasure it always afforded him to tako part in the work of the Lodge . Ho knew well how zealous wero the members , both individually ancl collectively . They had exhibited their interest in the labours of Freemasonry by frequently meeting together for the purposes of instruction , and he could not pay them
a higher compliment than to say that their working of the sections was as near perfection , in appreciation as well as in accuracy , as possible . Onr Reverend Brother's remarks were received with enthusiasm . We tnnst not omit to mention thafc the Deputy P . G . M . Bro . Singleton Tudor paid tho Lodge a high compliment on the score of its excellent working , and the zeal and earnestness displayed by the members .
