Jekyll , J . Hunt , W . W . Morgan jun ., & c . The Lodge having been opened ,
and the usual formalities disposed of , Bro . Shore was raised , Bros . Gordin , Wade and Sanders passed , ancl Mr . Walter Johnson initiated . The Lodge Bye-laws having been read , the Auditors' report received and unanimously adopted , Bro . J . C . White was installed W . M . for the ensuing year by Bro . Wallington , in a perfect and faultless manner for which the thanks of the Lodgo were voted to him , and a
record of the fact placed on the minutes . The W . M . promoted all of the officers one step , and reappointed Bros . Littell , Wallington and Gilchrist as Secretary , Treasurer and Tyler respectively . This ending tho business portion of the evening's proceedings , the Lodge was closed , ancl the brethren adjourned for refreshment . After the toasts of the Queen , the M . W . G . M ., the Pro G . M ., tho Deputy G . M ., and the
rest of the Grand Officers had been disposed of , Bro . Dalwood I . P . M . rose to propose the health of the W . M ., Bro . AVhite . He considered it a very important toast . He was sure that no brother was more respected than the ono they had in the chair . From the time he was initiated he had quietly plodded on , and had earned the reputation of being a good and popular Mason . Whenever a brother worked , ho
considered he was entitled to their respect . Ho hoped that the brethren wonld rally round and support their Master . No one had ever spoken ill of him in the Dalhousie , and he was sure the members would never regret having elected him to fill the chair , where he would do honour and be a credit to the Lodge . They had seen him through all the varied offices . He bad served the post of Steward to two of
our Institutions , and had taken up a goodly sum on each occasion . He considered that he reall y deserved the support of the brethren , ane he hoped on the present occasion they would give the toast a hearty reception . The W . M . heartily thanked the brethren ; he would endeavour to work , during his year of office , to their satisfaction , and let none of the lustre bo dimmed by the way he would transact the affairs of the Lodge . He had good officers , and hoped with their
assistance to keep np the prestige of the Lodge , if he could not enhance it . The next toast the W . M . said , was one that was everywhere received with pleasure , but particularly so at the Dalhousie . They were always glad to have new members , and he hoped the brethren would welcome their initiate , who had seen part of what he has to go through . He hoped he would persevere , and become a worthy brother . Bro . Johnson , in reply , said : Brethren , you can scarcel y

conceive the magic of that word . It has been my hope and aspiration for years to address a meeting by that term . I scarcely expected to have been received with such enthusiasm , and hope you will accept the few words in which I thank yon as coming with a feeling it is difficult to express . I hope to be able to show I am a worthy member , and be some little credit to so worthy an assemblage . The
W . M . in introducing the Visitors , said it was a toast very much ap . preciatod throughout the Graft . They had seventeen visitors among them . He was grateful to them for coming to see how the work was per * formed at the Dalhousie , and hoped they were pleased with what they had seen . He specially referred to the rendering of the Installation ceremony by P . M . Bro Wallington , which he felt sure all present had
appreciated . He hoped the visitors would make a point of again coming to see them . Bro . Driscoll was the first to reply . It had been his espeoial good fortune , he said , to attend on the installation evening for several years ; in fact , with the exception of two , he had seen all the Past Masters who were present placed into the chair of the Lodge . He hoped to be able , by the kindness of his friends , to
see several others . Ho considered he was a judge of good working , having seen the various ceremonies frequently worked , but he had never been so impressed as on that evening , when Bro . Wallington so ably installed the Master . He hoped the present Master would have a successful year , and that the Lodge would continue to prosper . Bro . Hunt P . M . followed . When he was asked to attend by a
friend , he little knew that the brother to be installed was a very old friend of his . When he was installed Master of his Lodge , at Manchester , seventeen years ago , he well remembered their present Master , in fact , he had known him from his childhood . He could only reiterate the statements of tho brother who had preceded him , as to the working of the various offices ,
but was especially pleased at the working of Bro . Wallington . The W . M . then , in the name of the Lodge , presented tha retiring Master with a ring , which it had been decided was the best form of showing the esteem of tho brethren—our respected Bro . Dallwood having already received a Past Master ' s jewel—in addition to tho ring , a bar was added to the jewel . Bro . Clark , in affixing these marks of the
brethren appreciation , hoped they would long have the pleasure of seeing Bro . Dallwood among them ; he was universally respected , and he might say beloved by every brother of the Dalhousie . Bro . Dallwood said ho had been so used to thanking the brethren , for during his two years' term of office he had received nothing but kindness , that he hardly knew what to say . He very much appreciated their
kind gifts . During his term of office everything had been done to make them enjoy themselves and make enjoyment for others . He heartily thanked them for every kindness he had received at their hands , and hoped that their present Master would leave the chair at the end of his term with the same expressions on the part of the members . The P . M . ' s was next given ; without them the W . M . consi .
dered no Lodge could be efficient . They had some good Masons among their number . Bro . Wallington , whose name was coupled with the toast , replied . He supposed the reason for calling on him was because they all knew he could not say anything . He folt like a fish out of water , as he had " nothing to do . " He would work hard , and endea . vour not only to keep up the good name of the Lodge , but if possible
to enhance it . He considered the officers were all able and ready to work . Most of them were workers in the Lodge of Instruction , and their attendance there had brought them np to their present high standard . The WM . had also mentioned Bro . P . M . Bates in connection with the toast , and as all knew he was a good hand at talking , he should leave him to finish thanking the brethren for the kind way
in which they had been referred to . Bro . Bates did nofc know what to say , and even if he did , he should have been obliged to forego it iu consequence of the late hour . The Lodge was established under good auspices , and it had certainly not degenerated . The first W . M . was a good Mason . Bro . Underwood was the second , and himself the third . He had seen better meetings than their present one on the occasion of
the Installations , they had had as many as thirty visitors . He hoped the good feeling which now existed among the members would continue . He was pleased at the unanimity in which the W . M . had been elected . He must bear in mind that the duties of a Master do not cease at the door of the Lodge ; he must be always at work for the good of his Lodge ; ever on tho look-out for something to improve and strengthen
ifc . The Secretary and Treasurer were next referred to by the VV . M . They were grateful for the way both of those officers had performed their duty , which was no light labour . Bro . Wallington ( Treasurer ) said the few remarks of the W . M . had reminded him that he had had something to do , but it was , during the past year , a very easy task ; if a Treasurer has plenty of money his work is very light . Ho
hoped next year would be a better one for the Lodge and for himself too . They could now hold their own , and still have a good balanco sheet . They had voted £ 10 to one of the Charities , and he wished them to become Life Governor of all three . He hoped to remain Trea . surer for many years to come . Bro . Littell was very pleased Bro . Wallington could now answer for himself . Hitherto , in consequence
of his being the I . P . M ., the duty of replying for both Secretary and Treasurer had devolved on himself . It was a much easier task to reply for one than for two , although when it became a question of speaking of oneself it was difficult . He could only repeat what he had so often said in reply to their kind expressions , that he most heartily thanked them . He would continue to discharge the duties
to the best of his abilities . Their present VV . M . was one of his initiates , and he was pleased to see him in that position . The officers were then toasted . The W . M . considered that no one need be ashamed of such a body . Bro . S . W . thanked tho W . M . and brethren . It was a great pleasure to him to be appointed to the office ; he would do all iu his power to make it pleasant in the Lodge . Bro . Weige J . W .
also thanked the brethren . He would act up to the advice given him that evening , and make himself proficient to fill any office he might be called upon to fulfil . He hoped some day to be in the chair now occupied by the W . M . The Tyler ' s toast followed , and brought a very lengthy meeting to a close . Bros . S . Smith , W . T . Smith , Wallington , Gitalin and Weige sung some oapital songs .
