The Great City Lodge, No. 1426.
opportunity of his having to perform it . He had been called to the chair earlier than he expected , and thus it would be a lesson to those who expected to follow him to be prepared and ready at any time to go on with their work . They had here a brother who was well known to them ; he was first who had come to the chair who had been initiated in The Great City Lodge , and he asked them all to cordially
drink his health wifch tho usual " fire . The W . M . in acknowledging the toast , said that when he was appointed to the chair it was his earnest endeavour not to reflect auy disgrace upon the Lodge by that appointment , but ho did not expect to come up to the same standard as those he had the honour of following . He might say , however , that he felt delighted in occupying his exalted position , and
daring his year of office he would do his utmost to go through the duties in as perfect a manner as he was able , and he hoped that his working in the Lodge would please them all . He would nofc detain them further except to express to Bro . Blackie his gratitude for the kind way in which he had spoken of him , and to the brethren , for the very complimentary manner in which they had received the toast .
Bro . J . Stevens gave a recitation— " Mason ' s Vows "—which was well delivered , and rewarded wifch deserved applause . The Wor . Master next gave the Visitors , and remarked that The Great City Lodge was always proud to receive them . Having enumerated them , he coupled with the toast the name of Bro . Middleton , formerly a member of tbe Lodge , who returned thanks , as did several of the other visitors . The
W . M . said the next toast he had to propose was that of the Past Masters of the Lodge , of whom they had a good array present , which was a proof that they had not worked only for the purpose of filling the chair , but after they had passed it , attending there to perform any duties that might be required of them . He had no desire by any observation of his to make any one of them jealous , but he must say
that Bro . Blackie had at all times stood by and devoted a great deal of his time to him ; for which he was very grateful . Bro . Blackie said tbe Past Masters wished to return their warmest thanks for drinking their health ¦ this was a toast that was always well received in the Lodge , for which fchey could nofc be too grateful . The other Past Masters severally returned thanks . The health of the
Treasurer and Secretary was then given , which they responded to , and the Tyler ' s toast brought a very harmonious meeting to a close . We ought not omit noticing that several songs were sung in the course of the evening , and a recitation by Bro . Moggison , written by Edgar Poe , was greatly admired , and equally so was one by Bro . T . Poore from the Ingoldsby Legends— " The Jackdaw of Rheims . "
