We feel a peculiar gratification that your
installation into the high office conferred upon yon by the Most Worshipful the Grand Master His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales , should have taken place on the holy ground of your Mother Lodge . The lustre of the high position yon now hold in the Province sheds a reflected light upon the Lodge in which yon were initiated , passed , and raised , and over which yon presided as Worshipful Master with a
care , zeal , and capacity which fully justified the confidence of the brethren in presenting you with the gavel of the Master ' s chair . We recognise in yonr past connection with our Lodge a sure guarantee that you will support with honour and dignity the more extended Masonic rule with which yon have been entrusted . While , however , acknowledging the fraternal ties which have united yon with us in
Masonic brotherhood within the Ledge , it is pleasing to us to call to mind how the energetic efforts you have made , as a liberal supporter of Masonic charities , prove that the head of onr Province has not been unmindful of the ruling characteristics of a Mason's heartbenevolence and charity . The manner in which you upheld the name of your family and the credit of the Craft by tho magnificent
reception accorded to the brethren of the Province at your installation , will ever remain fixed in their grateful memories , and calls for special expression of our heartfelt recognition . We beg you , therefore , to accept our congratulations and hearty good wishes , and pray that the Great Architect of the Universe may prosper you in your work ,
endue yon with wisdom , to comprehend , strength to define , ancl ability to carry out the genuine tenets of our Order , aud that the bond of mutual esteem and fraternal union which we are proud to think has hitherto existed between yourself and Lodge St . Cuthberga , may to the end continue firm and unimpaired . Wimborne , 2 nd July A . L . 5877 : A . D . 1877 . "

Grand Master com . plimented the W .

evening . We are especially fond of walking , albeit not at present quite np to our old form , and we are not unmindful that the locale of the Dalhousie Lodge of Instruction is especially favoured , if we desire to exercise onr muscular or pedestrian powers . What more pleasant than a pull over the waters of the river Lea , or to take a stroll through the Marshes , or a peep at the beautiful shrubs and flowers
in Victoria Park ? Either of these pleasures can be experienced by any brother who can spare an hour or two before the time fixed for commencement of bnsiness at this popular Lodge of Instrnction .
