minutes were confirmed . Bros . Weller and Harvey were raised to 3 rd degree , Messrs . Roboy and Blaekman were initiated , and Bros . G . Coleman 134 , and S . Upton 1000 , were elected joining members . A sum of live guineas was placed on the list of the W . M ., who had consented to act as Steward at the Anniversary Festival for Boys , on the 30 th of June , and Bro . Moring P . M . gave tho sum of £ 5 5 s ,
which the brethren subsequently augmented to £ 10 . The W . M . then presented Bro . Cater , the I . P . M ., with a jewel . He was well calculated to wear it , for he had fairly earned it by his working and the manner he had conduced to the comfort of tho brethren during his occupancy of tho chair ( the jewel is a Past Master ' s square , with a large diamond and suitable inscription ) . Bro . Cater
suitably responded . A sum of 21 s was given to a distressed brother . Bro . Moring P . M . said that on the 2 Sth April His Royal Highness tho Prince of Wales would be installed as M . VV . Grand Master , and every brother in connection with the OidH- could not bo present to witness that interesting ceremony . Ho would be pleased to have a Masonic meeting , where they could gather together to celebrate and do honour
to that event . This was carried witli acclamation , and when H . ll . II . the Prince of Wales ' s name was mentioned it was a signal for enthusiastic cheers .

G . S . B . returned thanks for the Grand Officers .
Bio . Cater I . P . M . then proposed tho toast of the W . M ., who , ho said , was a thorough Mason iu every sense of the word , and his zeal , not only in the cause of tho various charities , but iu his working , was a credit to the Order . Tlio W . M . briefly responded , and in the course of la ' s remarks said : Ho was only too pleased to do all he could for tho beuelit of tho Lodge ; his object was to work with credit to
himself aud satisfaction to the brethren . Bro . Hyde Pullen P . G . S . B . returned thanks for the visitors , aud , in the course of a very good speech , echoed the sentiments of those who had been honoured with invitations , that this ancient and flourishing Lodge had lost none of its prestige , but had progressed , and would do so while it had such a . W . M . aud efficient officers to conduct its business . Bro . Cater I . P . M .
returned thanks for the toast of the P . M . ' s . The toast of the Masonic Charities could not have found a better representative than Bro . F . Binckes P . G . S . and Secretary Boys' School , who , iu an eloquent speech , dilated on the three other charities , showing their amounts of funded property , and regretting that the Charity ho represented did not possess it . The W . M . had consented to act aa
Steward , and a largo sum had been given by the brethren , but the smallest modicum would be gratefully received , for there wore 177 boys to be educated , and £ 7 , 000 a year was required for their support . Ho thanked tho W . M . for his kindness , and for what ho had done . Bro . Moring followed , endorsing all that had been littered by Bro . Binckes , and the amount of subscriptions given by tho
brethren was a sufficient proof that they fully appreciated tho Masonic feeling exhibited by the W . M : and every member of tho Lodge . Bio . Scott S .

W . and Organist was , as usual , efficient and successful in his endeavours to amuse tho brethren ; as was also Uro . Thompson .
