Clarke 975 , W . Johnson , C . Stewart Stephens 754 , E . T . Smith 1768 , W . Drewett 859 , and W . R . Parker 742 . The Lodge was opened , and previous minutes confirmed . Bro .

Macrae having proved proficiency , the Lodge was duly prepared for the ceremony of raising ; and the W . M ., Bro . 0 . I . Digby , having arrived , occupied the chair of K . S ., ancl , in a most effective manner , dnly raised the candidate to the M . M . degree . The ceremony of installation was then at once proceeded with , and in this , as in fche

previous work , the W . M . proved his great capacity as a careful and earnest worker . Bro . W . R . Phillips P . M ., on assuming the duties of W . M . of the Lodge , after courteous greetings from the Board of Installed Masters , and reception of the salutations of the members of his Lodge , proceeded to appoint his Officers , and to invest them

in the following order , viz . : —Bros . J . P . Houghton S . W ., E . Dare J . W ., W . F . Koynolds P . M . Tveas ., G . 0 . Rowlands Sec , H . Sapsworth S . D ., J . Marjason J . D ., A . Crew I . G ., Messum D . C , W . C . Rainbow Org ., A . Aldin and T . Covell Stewards , and Fryer Tyler . The addresses to Maater , Wardens , and Brethren , delivered in a very

effective manner by Bro . Digby , completed a ceremony which gave great satisfaction fco all concerned . Ballots were then taken for Messrs . William Edwin Marsh , Arthur Clinton Taylor , and Arthur Walker , which , proving unanimous in their favour , secnred their introduction into Freemasonry at the hands of Bro . Phillips , who , we

were glad to observe , gave to each candidate his "jnsfc duo " by separate initiation . Amongst other routine business , a motion for an addition to the bye-laws relating to the Benevolent Fund of the Lodge was carried , and the sum of five guineas voted to form the neoleus for such Fund . A like sum was voted to the Royal Masonic

Institution for Girls , to be placed on the list of Bro . Houghton , who will represent the Lodge as Steward at the forthcoming Festiva ' . Hearty good wishes having been expressed by the Visitors , the Lodge was closed , and the brethren adjourned to the banquet . A very elaborate menu was placed before the guests on this occasion ,

but the length of time occupied in the work of fche Lodge , but more particularly the delay in service during the repast , interfered sadly with the otherwise enjoyable nature of the evening ' s programme , and rendered the duties of the W . M . presiding more difficult than need have been the case . To meet the exigencies of necessary

early departure by many of the brethren , a portion of the bill of fare was , perforce , abandoned , aud the subsequent musical entertainment , in which many talented artistes were engaged , was considerabl y hurried and shortened . Nevertheless , the brief time allotted to the company generally waa of a most enjoyable character ,

and , except that too much , for an installation meeting , was attempted , nothing but high praise is due to those who had the conducting of the entire proceedings . The customary Loyal auri Masonic toasts were duly honoured , after brief but forcible introductions by fche W . M . Ifc had been hoped thafc the toast of the Grand

Officers would have been responded to by Bro . Fenn , President of the Board of General Purposes , and the Consecrating Officer of the Lodge , bnt , for reasons above stated , thafc worthy brother had been compelled to leave . In his regretted absence , Bro . Joshua Nunn P-G . S . B . returned thanks , aud expressed wishes for continued success

to the Lodge . The I . P . M ., Bro . Digby , proposed the health of the Worshi pful Master in very eulogistic terms , as to his ability and general capacity for carrying out the duties of hia exalted position , & nd expressed his confidence that he would prove , by the exorcise of his skill and his eminent qualifications for the office , and his fitness

to rule , advance the interests of his Lodge . Amidst fche plaudits of the brethren , he wished him health and the support of T . G . A . O . T . U . in all his undertakings . A feeling response from tho W . M ., acknowledging the compliment paid to him , and assuring the members of his Lodge that nothing on his part should be wanting to justify the

expectation s they held , was concluded by hid proposing the health of f ho Initiates , who severally returned thanks for their reception . The Visitors received a very hearty welcome , and the W . M . congratulated his Lod ge on so large a number being present . Bro . James Stevens "•M . 1216 , & c , returned thanks on behalf of the Visitors , for the pleasure which had been afforded them , both in respect of Lodge

work , admirably performed and the subsequent entertainment set before them . He ventured to express an opinion thafc the cere . monies performed that evening had been carried out in a manner svh " . v : h would have done credit to Lodges of many years' standing , and was therefore all the more creditable to the Richmond Lodge ,

which , under the guidance of such qualified brethren as the W . M . and his predecessor , could not fail to merit tbe success it sought to attain . Bros . W . R . Forge Prov . G . D . C . Middlesex , and Lucas P . M . 192 , also replied in terms of high commendation of the L > dsre proceedings , and appreciation of their welcome The health of the

Installing Master and Past Master was cordially received , and a handsome P . M . ' s jewel was presented to Bro . Digby , with best wishes from the Lodge , and hopes that he might live many years to wear ifc . To this toast Bros . Digby and Blasby severally responded in appropriate terms . The remaining tonsts were the Masonio

Charities , fche Officers , and the Tyler ' s toast , which brought the pro * ceedings to a close at a somewhat later hour than most of tbe London brethren had anticipated . It must , however , be admitted that they had every reason fco carry away with them remembrance of a meeting such as might induce them to desire ita repetition at future

installations in the Richmond Lodge . We cannot close this report withont ¦ > notice of the excellent vocal musio , arranged by , and under the direction of , Bro . W . 0 . Rainbow , the Organist of the Lodge , whose talented company comprised Madame Lita Jarrett , R . A . M ., Miss

Mary Horton , and Bros . Crew and Abell . The programme was an excellent selection , and the several artistes most effectively rendered their respective numbers . Their services were highly appreciated by all present .
