Sub-Urban Lodge, No. 1702

duties to the satisfaction of the brethren , and had also greatly promoted the Lodge ' s prosperity . Brother Tickle P . M . Treasurer said , in response , that if there waa one thing more than another that afforded him pleasure to say , it waa to express the pride he folt in filling the office of Treasurer of auch a distinguished

Lodge aa the Sub-Urban . It had , perhaps , a humble name , but what it was short of in big sounding titles it made up for by the quality of ita members . There was no Lodge in the Province where the P . M . ' s , Officera , and rank ard file did so much , and had done so much in the past , to fulfil the tenets of Masonry , and so long

as the brethren atrived in the future to do so the Lodge must hold ita own in the Province . He mnst confeaa toa senae of great gratification at the result of that day ' s proceedings . They had had inatalled in the chair a brother who for a quarter of a century it had been his privilege and pride to call a friend , and he was only

echoing the sentiments of all the brethren of the Lodge , and the Visitors , when he expressed the pleasure he felt in seeing auch a good citizen and ao good a Mason occupying that distinguished scat . They had had a few good and worthy Masons precede him , but if he might make use of an old saying , he might remark that Bro . Shutt had

outheroded Herod . The W . M . had almost shut the other P . M . ' s up in the efforts he had made for the brethren ' s pleasure that day , and he warmly thanked him for it . They had proposed that day to enrol among their ranks a most excellent brother , whom they had looked since hia appointment as the Provincial Grand Secretary with the

greatest pleasure , and the brethren might rely upon it that the Lodge would not be forgotten in the distribution of Provincial Graud hononrs . At ihe last meeting of Provincial Grand Lodge a Committee waa nominated for the purpose of revising or framing byelaws for the province . He ( Bro . Tickle ) waa nominated on the

Committee , and so was the Provincial Grand Secretary , who said he could not get ou without Bro . John Hill ; so it was evident that the Suburban Lodge waa beginning to make ita way , and although it had experienced a full share in the past , it would not be ignored in the future . Himaelf and one other Past Master would do all they ooul d

to promote the success of tho Lodge , and contribute to the happiness of the brethren . Bro . Hill , Secretary , while thanking the W . M . and brethren for the toast , said that , to borrow the words of a very popular play of the day , performed at the Savoy Theatre — " The lot of a policeman is not a happy one . " Well , the lot of a Secretary waa

not a happy one . However , the brethren of the Lodge , ho was sure , wonld do their best to help him carry out his duties . Whitever he had to perform he hoped they would not tako it rough , for he loved them all , and he loved Masonry ; and if the brethren would help him they would be helping the VV . M . to have a most successful vear of office .

The Worship ful Master hoped the Officers , whose health he now proposed , would do their best to assist him in his duties , that thoy would make themselves perfect in their duties , aud aim at filling the chair he now occupied . Bro . Kilsby J . W . ( Bro Winstanley S . W . having been obliged to leave early ) assured the Lodge , on behalf of all the

Officers , that they would strive their best for tho working of the Sub-Urban Lodge , in which they took so great a pride . It was hia mother Lodge , and there waa no Lodge he waa ao proud of . Whenever he had a chance of doing anything for it he did it , and he intended alwaya to do ao . Thoy had a distinguished body of visitors ,

and everything assumed the colour of tho rose . They always said there were great things in store for this Lodge , and no donbt there were . With Bro . Shutt in the chair the Lodge was bound to get on ; with Past Masters like Bros . Charles Buck and Tickle , and wiih the many hononred Past Masters who had occupied the chair , the Sub .

Urban Lodge must , in time , be the premier Lodge in position , and working in the province , for the members had always tried their level beat to make it so , and it was quite certain that the best result must wait npon them in the long run . Bro . Bilby alao responded . Bro . Tickle proposed the Masonic Press .

for which Bro . H . Massey replied ; and Bro . Tickle then proposed the Health of Bro . and Mrs . Veal , to whom the brethren were indebted for a beautiful hall , and for all the comforts they enjoyed at their meetings at Stanmore . Mrs . Veal waa a moat amiable and accomplished lady , from whose praeence they had frequently derived

great pleasure . Whenever the opportunity occurred she was always pleased to come and charm the brethren with her beautiful music , and her exquisite voice . She had exceeded herself that day in providing the banquet , and the brethren would wish both Bro . and Mrs . Veal long and prosperous years . Bro . Charles Veal said he need uot tell the brethren this was not a Masonic toast . When be came into

the room he was not at all prepared for the very kind reception the toast had met 5 but he could assure them that to him it was a very flattering one , and one that would convey not only to himself , but to hia good wife and all belonging to him , that satisfaction which he knew the brethren would wiah to convey to them for all their energies

in contributing to the brethren s comfort . Por his wife , his family and himself , aud all belonging to them , he might inform the brethren that the red-letter day of the year to them was the installation meeting of the Sub-Urban Lodge . They had been the last three days and nights preparing for it , and their greatest delight and

recompense was if they had given satisfaction . If it had realised the brethren ' s expectations , that was all they wanted . They had always looked on the Sub-Urban Lodge as really the mainstay of their establishment , —in a very great measure , —inasmuch as in a Masonic way every member of that Lodge had been their best of

frionda , and contributed in every way to assist them . He tb . ai . ked Bro . Tickle for the kind way he had put the toast . As far as the efforts of himself and family went , they reciprocated every word he said , and they appreciated it . If any members of the Lodge enmo on any other occasion they would give them the same amount of as

usance and attention as they had on that day . It was not only ou great gatherings they be . stowed their energies , they gave them also on small occasions , thus endeavouring to maintain tho credit of tho establishment . The Tyler ' s toast concluded the proceedings , which were enlivened by musical arrangements , under the direction of Bro . H . Schartau

JUVENILE EHIORATION TO CANADA . —Yesterday ( says Wednesday ' s Liverpool Journal of Commerce ) the Beaver line steamer , Lake Superior , the favourite steamer connected with this enterprising line , took out to Quebec another batch of youthful emigrants , consisting of 200 boys from Dr . Bernardo ' s Homes , and 150 bops and girla fnm Mr .

Middlemore ' a Home , in Birmingham . The boys and girls , who were all smartly dressed and healthy . looking , and had tho appearance of having been well cared for , wero marched down to the stermar—the former from tho Central Station ancl the latter from Lime-street Station . En route they attracted much attention , and upon their

arrival on the landing-stage were loudly cheered , the stage at thia time presenting a scene of great activity , owing to its being high water , and a large number of excursionists thronged to bid them a hearty farewell . Dr . Bernardo , with his asaiatanta , and Mr . Middlemore , were present , the latter accompanying the children to Canada to

superintend the placing of them in situations . He stated that , from reporta he had received , he expected immediately on their arrival to have places for every child , the demand being so great . The character and conduct of each boy and girl had berni carefully inquired into , with a view of making them citizens of whom Canada

might be proud . Certainly , judging from their physique , they were all that could be desired , and will receive a hearty welcome in Canada . It waa a noteworthy fact that all the children wore tha blue ribbon . Mr . Roberts , the indefatigable manager of the company , with Mr . Wilaon , the passenger superintendent , were present , the

former most carefully superintending all the arrangements for the comfort of the youngsters on the voyage . The Lake Superior ia evidently a great favourite , aeveral batchea having already been sent

by her , and the efforta made by the Beaver line to meet this traffic are auch aa to ensure a very large share of the trade . Besides these , the Lake Superior took several hundred saloon and steerage passengers , with an average cargo .
