SMOUT JUN . S . W .

F . CHARLES FRVE J . W . GKOJ ' GE PEJW Treasurer . W . J . MURUS Secretary . The jewel had previously been presented to Bro . Smout . In reply tho I . P . M . with great pleasure tendered hia thanks . He was sure the gifts he had that day received from tho Earl of Carnarvon Lodgo

would be prized as long as ho lived , and ho hoped they might be handed down to his children , by whom ho felt they would be as much appreciated as they were by himself . He had always been proud of the progress made by the Lodge , ancl particularly so aa by ifc thoy were enabled to figure so favourably as supporters of the Charities . He intended to servo tho office of

Steward for one of them during the coming year , and hoped the members would do all they could to make his list representative of the spirit of the Lodgo . He hoped afc the Festival of the Benevolent Institution , for which he was working , the Lodge would figure as well as on any occasion in the pust , although he could hardly expect so large an amount as previous representatives had been able to collect . One thing ho particularly desired the brethren

to bear in mind , this was that anything they felt disposed to give wonld be well spent . He would also impress upon them thafc there was no charity in giving that which was needed in their own households . Wo may state that tho list of Bro . Smonfc afc the time of the meeting reached close on seventy guineas . Other toasts followed , the list not being completed until a late hour , when the concluding toasfc was proposed and the brethren separated . The following were among the visitors-. —Bros . J . F .
