of that day , and eulogised the new W . M ., who was following in the steps which tho Duke had so worthily trodden . He spoke in high words of appreciation and congratulation of the manner the W . M . had performed his duties , and looking forward alluded to the high
significance of that event , for without doubt he who was heir to the Dukedom would ono day also fill—but he hoped at a distant date —the place now so worthily held by the Right Worshipful the Provincial Grand Master of Derbyshire—His Grace the Duke of Devonshire .
Tho W . M ., who was received with ringing cheers , thanked tho Brethren most heartily for the reception they had accorded him ana also for the very great honour they had conferred upon him that day . There were others he knew far moro worth y and better qualified for that position , and he only hoped ho would not
disappoint them in his work . He trusted his Officers would do their best to help him as far as ihey could , and by that means if possible add something more to the reputation and position of the Dorothy Vernon Lodge . He had spoken many times in that room on other occasions and under different circumstances . He had
also had many obligations laid upon him in that room , but ho had never accepted one with greater pleasure than he did the one thoy laid upon him that night—that of accepting the Mastership and appearing for the first time in the chair as Master of the Dorothy Vernon Lodge . He felt that that was no ordinary occasion . . He
had before had people listening to him in that room , with many of whom no doubt he had dissimilar views , but all there that night he believed were of one accord , anxious and willing to do something on behalf of Freemasonry and for those grand principles in furtherance of which ihey had assembled . He expressed his deep
regret that in some way he was commencing his year of office far from well by having to leave before the close of the banquet , but ho hoped under the circumstances , as io was not absolutely for his own pleasure he was going away , they would overlook it . It was not for tho purpose of shooting grouse . He had a business
appointment to keep for the following morning . He thanked them very much for the kind way they had received tho toast . Bro . Marsden had said that the Dorothy Vernon Lodge w ould become notorious in connection with his Mastership . That was somewhat ambiguous .
He trust * . d that it would not become so through the misdeeds of the Master . He again thanked them , and expressed the hope that everything lie and they did would be in keeping with the grand traditions of the Dorothy Vernon Lodge , of which he was proud that that day ho had beon installed Master . o o o
SYMPATHY LODGE OF INSTRUCTION , No . 483 . THIS Lodge , which is achieving a reputation for good working under the preceptorship of Bro . Henry Forss P . M . P . Z ., meets every Monday evening at the Star Hotel , Parrock Street , Gravesend . On visiting the Lodge this week we found Bro . White occupying the chair , with Bros . Lygo S . W ., Ingman J . W ., Hawker S . D ., Moore P . M . J . D ., Hind P . M . I . G ., and Watts Secretary .
The Lodge was opened in the first and second degrees , when the ceremony of Passing was rehearsed by the W . M . Bro . O . Cooper being the candidate . The Preceptor gave the lecture on the second Tracing Board in a masterly manner . For the sake of practice the Lodge was then " called oil , " when
Bro . Cooper gave a brief account of the proceedings that took place at the last Quarterly Communication of Grand Lodge . On the Lodge being resumed the W . M . asked the Questions leading from the second to third degree , after which the Fellow Craft ' s Lodge was closed .
Bro Lygo was elected for the Master ' s chair at the next meeting , and the assembly was ended in due form . The above constitutes a fair amount of work , and we are able to congratulate the worthy Preceptor upon the manner in which his pupils conducted the ritual .
