Headon P . M . was

unanimously re-elected Treasurer ; the T yler , Almoners , and Audit Committee were also appointed . Two appeals from distressed members were bronght before the Lodge , and liberal votes from the Lodge funds were agreed to in each case , with a promise that further aid should be afforded in an appeal to the Board of Benevolence .

T .

Hamer W . M . pro tern presiding . The dinner having been disposed of , the W . M . in proposing fche first toast , whioh was "The Qneen and the Craft , " said he should have done so without further observations , but for the incident whioh occurred a few days ago . He thought that was a fitting opportunity for them to give expression to their feelings of contempt afc the dastardly attempt whioh had been made npon Her

Majesty's life , and he trusted the day might be far distant when they shonld lose Her Majesty , bufc never by the hand of a coward or an assassin . The toast was cordially responded to , followed by fche National Anthem . The Worshipful Master next gave His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales Most Worshipful Grand Master . It was most gratifying to him to propose hia health , not only as Grand

Master , bnt as the chief subject of the realm .

responded to . The W . M . next gave the Pro Grand Master , Deputy Grand Master , and the rest of fche Grand Officers . Bro . Stevens proposed the next toast , whioh was , in the first place , the health of the Worshipful Master , Bro . Taylor , and in the next a suggestion thafc steps should be taken to carry out the vote of condolence whioh had been proposed in the Lodge , and also to agree to a resolntion to do

honour to the acting Worshipful Master , Bro . Hamer . The toast was well received , for which Bro . Hamer returned thanks . The W . M . next gave the health of the Worshipful Master elect ; he believed that nnless Bro . Kibble was prepared to take npon himself fche responsibility of fche duties of the chair , he would never have accepted the office . Bro . Kibble returned thanks ; he said it was most gratifying

to him to be placed in such a proud position ; he assured tho brethren that he would not undertake the office unless he felt he was able to perform the duties of the chair to their satisfaction . With tho assistance of the Past Masters , possessing accumulated wisdom , he hoped never to go wrong , and he looked forward with pleasore to tbe time when he should be installed into the chair .
