Youings expressed the pride and pleasure

His earnest endeavour during his year of office had been to promote the welfare of Goderich Lodge in particular , and Freemasonry in Leeds in general , and that beautiful presentation was a proof that his efforts had been successful . Bro . Bradford then invested his Officers , as follow : —W . Bros . A . W .

I . G ., W . J . Gwilland and J . R . Smith Stewards , and J . Barraud Tyler . W . Bro . Bradford , the newly-installed W . M ., presided at the banquet , which was attended by upwards of 60 brethren , and in addition to those whose names have been mentioned he was supported by the W . M . ' s of the other 7 Leeds Lodges , namely ,
Bros . A . Scarth W . M . 289 , Jno . Brownfoot W . M . 304 , Councillor Binns W . M . 30 i , Flockton W . M . 1012 , Harris W . M . 1221 , and Mason P . M . W . M . 2069 . The usual loyal aud complimentary toasts having received hearty recognition , W . Bro . W . F . Smithson P . M . P . P . G . D . W . M . 2128 , and Chairman of the West Yorkshire
Charity Committee , responded in a vigorous speech on behalf of the London Charities . He drew special attention to the fact that his recommendation that 2000 guineas should be raised on behalf of the Royal Masonic Benevoltnt Institution ( Widows' Fund ) had been unanimously adopted by the Provincial Grand Lodge at Huddersfield
the previous Wednesday . Such a movement would he thought most fitly commemorate in that Province the Jubilee year of our most gracious Queen , especially as she was a widow herself . They would be paying a graceful compliment to their sovereign , and at the same time they would be nobly benefitting an Institution which more
particularly commended itself to Her Majesty . He also reminded his hearers of the great advantages reaped from this Charity by the Masons of West Yorkshire , there being no fewer than 13 males and 13 females of that Province at present enjoying benefits of the two funds . If the large sum for which he pleaded was raised , aud of this
he had no doubt , it would greatly facilitate in future elections the work of the Executive , seeing that they had 4 widows on tbe list for the foithcoming election , whereas their present voting strength was onl y equal to carrying one . This powerful appeal of Bro . Smithson ' s no doubt will bo most warmly responded to in Leeds , and his efforts
will lio in an endeavour to induce every Lodge and Chapter in the Province to do something to forward the good cause to a triumphant conclusion . W . Bio . G . F . Crowe P . M . P . P . G . D . also spoke on behalf of the Leeds Benevolent Institution and expressed his warmest
thanks for the hearty support accorded to it , to which was duo the fact that it was in a most flourishing condition . The speeches wero interspersed with songs and music , aud a happy evening was spent .
