Lodn-e wag closed , after a protracted and busy meeting , and the brethren supported tho W . M . at the banquet table . Here a repast was in waiting which it is no mean praise to say was capitally gerved , despite tho delay Bro . Alfred Walter had been subjected to .

Bro . Seddon next favoured the brethren with a selection upon the harmonium , g iving great satisfaction . Bro . T . S . Taylor gave the health of the W . M . Bro . Walter ; they had all seen in what a splendid manner he had sustained the duties of the chair , fully justifying their choice of him for a ruler . By his working he would uphold the character , and add lustre to the Yarborough Lodge . Bro . Taylor

concluded by claiming for the W . M . ' s gavel tho same attention at the banquet as in the Lodge-room . Bro . J . H . Thorn here gave the " Wolf , " excellently accompanied by Bro . Seddon , after which the W . Master thanked the brethren one and all for tho kind reception of his name . He was glad to find his endeavours to please wore successfnl ; he had worked hard to qualify himself for his position , and

assured tho brethren he would do all in his power to promote the hononr and welfare of the Yarborough Lodge . In toasting the P . M . 's the W . Master claimed great importance for this toast in the Yarborough Lodge , whose Past Masters , unlike what is experienced in some Lodges , are afc all times willing and in attendance to assist in the working . Bros . Barnes and Berry had devoted

considerable attention to the Yarborough Lodge of Instruction , where the Officers and members received at their hands that tuition whioh enabled them to discharge their duties as efficiently as they had seen them done that evening . Bro . W . Sparks gave a stirring rendering of the " Bay of Biscay , " and Bros . I . P . M . and J . G . Stevens dulv responded ; Bro . T . J . Barnes also replied . In proposing the

toast the W . M ., he said , had paid the P . M . ' s a compliment , he thought a deserved compliment . All that was in their power the P . Masters would do ; they are not only able and willing but fully capable of doing so . He ( Bro . Barnes ) had never seen better working in a Lodge before ; he had watched it closely , from first to last , and he must say , from the Inner Guard up to the Worshipfnl Master ,

he had never seen work better done . He would nofc mention any one name , or those not so mentioned might justly feel themselves slighted , where all had worked so well . Bro . Berry and himself had spent years in working to qualify the Officers and brethren for the discharge of their duties , and ifc afforded them much gratification to find their efforts crowned with success , and to see how those labours

had been exerted to good purpose . In toasting the initiate , the W . M . spoke of the desirability of infusing new blood , and thafc of good quality ; such he believed the newly admitted brother possessed . The toast was heartily received . Bro . Donigan thanked the W . M . and brethren for having honoured him by admitting him into the Order . It had been a great pleasure to meet such old friends as he had

there ; he would do his best to deserve the confidence they had reposed in him . The toast of the Masonic Charities was heartily received , and responded to in an able and lucid manner by Bro . P . M . Stevens , whose close acquaintanceship with this subject enabled him to give a masterly r & sum & of work done , and the claims of the three Masonic Charities . The Officers' toast was also well received , and responded to by the brethren of thafc body who were present . After

which the Tyler ' s toast brought a successful meeting to a close . The musical powers of the Lodge were capitally directed by Bro . G . H .

The want of sanitary arrangements in the Russian Camp was dreadful , and had we remained there a few weeks longer , dysentery and typhoid fever would havo played moro havoc in our ranks than the bombs of the Turks . I myself acquired an unenviable reputation as a doctor , owing to my being provided with a small bottloof CHLOBOD YNE . with which I effected miraculous cures .
