— : o : — LODGE OF PROSPERITY , No . 65 . THE Summer Festival and Ladies' Day of thia flourishing Lodge took place on Tuesday , the 10 th inst . The several Masters for the time being , in conjunction -with energetic Committees , have for some years past striven most zealously to make these annual gatherings enjoyable . In tnrn . various places have been selected ;

amongst these wo may mention the Crystal Palace , the Alexandra Palace , and the Star and Garter at Richmond , * on other occasions the facilities offered by a trip in the " Maria Wood " for a day ' s enjoyment have been put to tho test , in each case with eminently

satisfactory result . In fact , so proverbially has it become recognised that a summer outing with the brethren of Prosperity is to be the very essence of comfort and enjoyment , that with pity we contemplate even the thought of any unlucky wight of a Master who should break the run of this uninterrupted course of success . The present W . M ., Bvo . George Schadler , brings to bear on hia labours a

knowledge of the traditions of his Lodge ; he is an earnest worker , and has secured for himself the confidence and esteem of the members . On this occasion the Oatlands Park Hotel , Walton-on-Thames , was the spot selected . This establishment , whioh is admirably suited for gatherings of thia nature , is most charmingly situated , while the facilities offered by its manager leave nothing to

be desired . Bro . Schadler was well supported by his Wardens—Bros . C . J . Rich and J . H . Hawkins—while the I . P . M . Bro . Eoberts , and Past Masters Goodwin ( Treasurer ) , G . T . Brown ( Secretary ) , Cornwall , Loins , Chicken , Daniel , Arnold , Gregory S . D ., Walker jnn . J . D ., Dyson I . G ., Bonrne M . C , Haller , & o ., & c , ably acted aa a Committee to ensure the success of the meeting . On arriving at

Walton , carriages were provided to convey the brethren and their ladies to the hotel . This is large and commodious—the building was originally a palace of the late Duke of York . The dining hall was artistically decorated with a profusion of flowers . 133 gnests sat down to a very excellent dinner and dessert , provided by Mr . Dindlemann ; music enlivening the proceedings , and after the

company had enjoyed the good things supplied , which we may state here gave every satisfaction , the wines aud viands being of first rate quality , the W . M . proposed the toast of the Queen aud the Craffc . Bro . Roberts I . P . M . next rose ; as being the Immediate Past Master ho had great pleasure in proposing the health of the W . M . and the Committee , who had broaght them to this charming place . Under

Bro . Schadler ' s presidency ho was snre all had enjoyed a very happy day ; he wonld couple with the toast the names of Mrs . Schadler and Master Schadler . After a mosfc cordial reception had been given to the proposition of Bro . Roberts , the W . M . rose to reply . He thought it was pretty generally understood thafc they were assembled together to enjoy themselves ; this he flattered himself they had

done . He had no desire to indulge in a lengthy speech ; he thought such a course would mar their enjoyment ; but he tendered to Bro . Roberts his sincere thanks for the kind way in whioh he had proposed the toast , and to the ladies and brethren for the enthusiastic manner in which they had received it . In speaking to what he described aa the toasfc of fche day , " The Ladies , " the W . M . said every married Mason

of their party felt it his duty to do all he could to make the occasion a happy one for the ladies who had honoured them with their company . There wei * e seventy ladies present ; the largest number the brethren of Prosperity Lodge had ever had the pleasure of entertaining . He was snre the gentlemen present would do full honour to the toasfc . Bro . Haller ably responded , and then the W . Maatei

paid a compliment fco the Visitors , for whom Bro . H . M . Levy P . M . 188 replied ; in the name of the Visitors , congratulating the W . M . on fche success which had attended the gathering , and the unqualified success of the arrangements , which had so conduced to the enjoyment of the party . The gathering on board the " Maria Wood " was one to be remembered with satisfaction , bnt this meeting , thanks to the

W . M . and Committee , eclipsed all former efforts . He trusted these gatherings would be continued for many years , and by each succeeding Master . Shortly afterwards tho ladies and brethren adjourned to the grotto , and listened with attention to fche guide , who gave a very interesting account of its antiquity . Dancing was then engaged

in by most of thoso present , ancl , surrounded by the lovely scenery , each happy couple thoroughly enjoyed themselves . Bro . C . T . Speight efficiently acted as Toast Master . Amongst the Visitors were Bros . Marflefc P . M . 217 , C . Hollands 946 , W . H . Wallington P . M . 860 , D . Moss 1275 , Haines J . W . 27 , R . J . Potfcle , T . Brown , and H . M . Levy P .

A . W . Fenner , P . M . 1227 , ou his retirement from the office of Secretary , which position he has occupied so

ably for a number of years . Bro . Pearcy Preceptor presided , and Bro . Powell occupied the Vice-President's chair . Tho Chairman , in a fow well chosen words , presented to Bro . Fenner a handsomelyframed testimonial , signed by a number of the brethren , together with a purse of sovereigns , and expressed the gratification it afforded him on the present occasion to present this small' token of respect

and esteem to so worthy a brother , who , by the assiduous manner in which he afc all times worked for the benefit of the Lodge and Fraternity , had won the approbation of all with whom he had been associated . Bro . Fenner , in reply , sincerely thanked the brethren for this mark of their favour ; he assured thorn that , although business required more of his time than usual , he should still have

the interest of the Percy Lodge at heart , and attend as often as he possibly conld . The toasts of the Treasurer and Secretary were respectively given , as also that of the Past Masters aud present W . M . of tho Kingsland Lodge ( which may be described as an offshoot of tho Percy Lodge of Instrnction ) . Responses were made by Bros . Killick . Trewinnard and Hall .
