Homo matters were then discussed , aud ono or two alterations in the bye-laws , of which notice had bopn regularly given , were agreed to , and tho Chapter was closed . After dinner , which was veiy well served , Comp . Dnrrant , who presided , introduced the customary

Loyal and R . A . toasts . C < " > mp . Row I . P . Z . proposed the health of tho Most Excellent ., whom ho designated as a painstaking and most worthy Companion . Ho referred to tho happy timo onjoved by tho Chapter , not only during his own year of office , hut a ' so during that of the first M . E . Z ., Comp . Leared . He trusted nothing might arise to mar the good fueling that existed , and concluded bv calling on all present

to drink the toast and wish Comp . Dnrrant a prosperous year . Comp . Dnrrant thanked tho I . P . Z . for so kindly introducing the toast . Ho remarked that tho moro ho saw of human nature the more ho realised his own weakness . However , of this he was assured , —that in the members of hi Chapter ho was surrounded by a capital set of fellows , who would strive might and main to please each other . They

eonld never expect to go through tho world without- giving offence , but from this no serious result could bo anticipated if they remained united . For his part , he would do all he could to promote the welfaro of the Chapter , and fully realised the importance attaching to the proper carrying out of the duties that devolved on him . He concluded by reiterating their wish for a happy and successful year .

Tho M . E Z . then proposed the health of the Installing Principal . He described Comp . Garrod as a worthy Mason , and thoroughly competent to carry out any duty he undertook . Comp .

In tho Lewis Lodsre ho had initiated many a good brother who had since displayed a warm interest in our Institutions . On the formation of the Lewis Chapter , it had been especially gratifying to him to

know that ono of his own initiates was selected to fill the First Principal's Chair . When from a Lodge it is found desirable to establish a Chapter , it is a sure sign of prosperity . He was much obliged to the Most Excellent for the kind things he had said in regard to his labours during tho last 25 years . Ou looking back he could remember when his sympathies wero more in favour with the

Girls' School than with that of the Boys , but his zeal was at length awakened owing to the solicitations of the Grand Secretary , Bro . John Hervey , and now all present knew the position held by the Institution he hnd tho honour to represent . He then referred to the position Comp . Row now held on the House Committee , while others p > -espnt wero aspiring to similar office . He was proud to see them

aspiring , and assured them for his own part he never felt so satisfied as when ho could look back on a day when he could record that be had done something towards advancing the welfare of the Charities , something that met with the approval of the great body to which we belong . The remaining toasts comprised the Press responded to by Comp . Morgan ; tho P . Z . 's of the Chapter , to which Comps . Leared and

Row replied ; the H . and J ., —the M . E Z . here remarking that when a cimmander has good subalterns his dnties are much lightened ; no better Officers could have been selected than Comps . Newman and Reivie ; both were desirous to do their work , and of their capabilities there could not be anv question . After a reply from each , the

M . E . Z . gave the other Officers , and then the Janitor was summoned . Tho various toasts were interspersed by some capital songs and recitations , Comp .
