had passed throngh the various offices of the Lodge before , and he trusted in this , hia second year of office as Master , he would have to rule over a prosperous Lodge , and receive the loyal support of the various Officers . Bro . Hubbard , who wore the uniform of the ITerta Yeomanry—having travelled specially from Watford to be presentsaid the discipline of a Lodge was very like that of the corps whose uniform he wore . Unless the chief had the strictest obedience from
the officers and the members he could do nothing . In the Yeomanvy the officers exacted the strictest obedience while iu the field , but when off duty they chatted and smoked with the men as equals . It was the same in a Lodge ; there should be the strictest disci pline in the Lodge and good fellowship out of it . Bro . Young , in response , hoped they would find in him a good Mason and a jolly good follow . He promised to preserve the harmony of the Lodge and to so conduct its ritual thafc ifc shonld nob dwindle down to the status of a mere
Odd Fellows society . He hoped the end of the year would find their numbers increased , and that the members would have to acknowledge that he had conducted the Lodge with greater success than when he occupied that chair in 1881 . In response to the toasfc of the " Masonio Charities , " Bro . Hubbard , who is Steward this year for the Girls ' Charity , congratulated the Lodge on its position with respect to the Charities . In his first year of office he had taken np - £ 115 , in his
second year £ 144 , and this year he hoped to take up one hundred guineas . The other toasts were " The Visitors , " to which Bros . Townley , Payne , McDonald , and Western responded ; "The Past Masters , " and "The Officers of the Lodge . " During the evening there was some agreeable pianoforte selections and vooalism by Miss Thomas , and Bros . Woodman , Heath , Townley , Allen , J . A Collings , and the W . M .
JOHN CARPENTER LODGE , No . 1997 . THE installation meeting of this important civil Lodge , founded by and for old scholars of the City of London School , of which Bro . Alderman Sir Henry E . Knight , then Lord Mayor of London , was installed first Master twelve months ago , was held on Friday evening , 9 th inst ., at the Albion , Aldersgate-street . Bro . Alderman Sir Henry E . Knight opened ihe Lodge and presided while the formal business of reading the minutes , receiving the Audit
Committee s report , & o . was transacted , but he said that owing to weariness from his many engagements he felt himself unequal to the task of installing , the W . M . elect , and therefore craved the indulgence of the brethren that he might vacate the chair in favour of Bro . P . M . James Pinder , their worthy Secretary , who at his request had undertaken to perform tbe ceremony . Bro . Pinder then assumed the
Master s collar , opened the Lodge in the second degree , and addressed the Lodge as to the rules regulating the election of the Master , and called upon them to declare whom they had elected to succeed their present Master . Bro . SirH . E . Knight thereupon presented Bro . Augustus William Stead as the Master elect to receive the benefit of installation . The ceremony was then performed by Bro . Pinder in a
manner which won for him the unanimous approbation of all present ; and Bro . A . W . Stead was formally installed into the chair of K . S ., and was afterwards proclaimed and saluted in the three degrees of tho Order ; after which the newly-installed Master invested his Officers as follow , showing from the appropriate and kindly words he addressed to each , as he was invested , thafc he fully appreciated
the importance of his office , and that he was fully competent to discharge the duties attached to it . Bros . Noton S . W ., Honeyohurch . J . W ., Hntton P . G . D . Treasurer , Pinder Secretary , Tayler S . D ., Wilkinson J . D ., Wilson I . G ., Norris Master of Cers ., Shaw Steward , Saker Assistant Steward , Inskipp Assistant Secretary , Goddard T yler . Bro . Pinder , after the investiture of the Officers , concluded the
ceremony by reciting in fche most perfect manner the three addresses to the W . M ., the Wardens , and the general body of the brethren . Prior engagements prevented several Grand Officers , ancl a number of other distinguished Masons , from being present , and their letters were read by the Secretary . Not tho least interesting portion of the proceedings consisted in the presentation of a very handsome Past
Master ' s jewel to Bro . Alderman Sir Henry E . Knight . The presentation was made by Bro . Hntton P . G . D . the Treasurer . Bro . Hutton said , I feel that I am speaking on behalf of one and all of my brethren when I say thafc they , as myself , feel under a very deep debt of gratitude to you for accepting the duties of Master of this Lodge at the time when you were discharging the arduous and
almost incessant duties of Lord Mayor . I believe ifc is unique in tho aunals of Masonry and in the annals of the Municipality of London for tho Lord Mayor to rally aboufc him , those who have been brought up in the same school to assist in founding for them a Masonic Lodge . I have no donbb that the feeling thereby conveyed , and which no doubt found a very strong response in youv breast ; I hare no doubt
that the feeling has done very much good to every ono of us . It has in my own case taken me back to fcho scenes of my boyhood and manhood , and made me recollect with pleasure thafc we all radiated from the same centre , and that in founding this Lodge we have fixed a rally , ing point at which those who recognise the ties of early association may meet and again have another object in common . We cannot lose
sight of the efforts you have successfully made during your arduous year of office always to bo present afc our meetings . I was very sorry that business in the United States prevented my being present at fche Consecration of tho Lodge , but whenever I have been present ifc has been my privilege to see you perform your work as Master . It is my pleasure to know yon personally , to watch your career , ancl to see it culminate in that highest office which the voice of your fellow citizens
conld bestow upon yon . It is therefore to me a great pleasure to have the privilege of pinning upon your breast this jewel , which , I may say , has been voted to you by your schoolfellow ? . We all of us hope that yon will live long to wear it , and thafc we may be spared for many years to seo it on your breast . Bro . Aid . Sir Henry E . Knight replied as follows . *—Brethren , I must ; say I have been taken very ranch by surprise ; I did not expect that this hononr would have been done me , and was deeply impressed bv the very handsome manner in
