NOTICES OF MEETINGS .

DOMATIC LODGE , N " o . 177 .

WE think no better exemplification of the well-known quotation , " Welcome the coming , speed the parting guest , " can be found than exists at the banquet of a Masonio Lodge on the ni ght of election of Worshipful Master . Then it is we reall y have two rulers , or two brethren , who seem to share between them the good wishes of those present—the Master who that night presides for the last time

in his chair of office , and the brother who , having secured the votes of his fellows , is looked upon as the coming ruler . It is hard to know to whom to accord the most enthusiasm ; and were it not that we as Masons can aud do show our appreciation in more tangible form than mere good wishes , it wonld often be a heavy task to adequately thank a W . M . for what he has done in the past , and

accord a welcome sufficiently enthusiastic to the W . M . of the future . Such was the case at the last meeting of the Domatio Lodge , which was held at Anderton ' s Hotel , on Friday , 10 th inst . Every one present appeared in the best of humour , and if one or two hard things were said , we hope they were looked upon , as they were evidently intended , more b y way of joke than criticism . As is usual , the

Lodge was opened at an early hour , and the business of the day was speedily transacted . This comprised the election of Worshipful Master , Treasurer , Tyler , and Audit Committee—four raisings , one passing , and two initiations—no light evening ' s task for a Brother on the occasion of the closing of a year ' s Mastership . The brethren

present to support the Worshipful Master—Bro . H . N . Bowman Spink—were W . Harris Senior Warden , J . McLean Junior Warden , G . Everett P . M . Treasurer , T . Morris Secretary , W . Herbage S . D ., R . Pierpont D . of C , E . White I . P . M ., W . J . Ferguson P . M ., Isaac Bnscall P . M ., W . F . Smith P . M ., and the following Visitors : —Broa .
