A hearty and fraternal greeting was interchanged as tho brethren
assembled , soon after four o ' clock , and it was evident that the pro . ccedings of the evening were anticipated with a considerable amount of interest .

discharged his functions as Senior Warden .

elect , and a Board of Installed Masters having been constituted , he was duly installed into the chair by the retiring Worshipful Master , whose eloquent delivery of the Eitnal elicited universal expressions of approbation , and afforded much pleasure as well as edification to all present . On the re-admission of the brethren , the newly-installed Worshipful Master was proclaimed with the customary
hononrs , after which he jiroceeded to invest his Officers for the year , as follows : —Bros . George A . Cundy I . P . M ., David Hughes S . W ., McClelland J . W ., H . Darcy P . M . Treas ., C .

Vernier , that ten guineas be given out of the Lodge Benevolent Fund , to a Brother , was agreed to , and
after the transaction of some other business , the brethren adjourned to the throne-room of tho hotel , where a snmptnous banquet was provided by Messrs . Ritter and Clifford , and personally superintended by Bro . Henry Mills , whose arrangements gave every satisfaction . Dessert having been placed on the tables , the customary Loyal and Masonic toasts were duly honoured , the W . M . alluding in felicitons
terms to tho honour enjoyed by the Craft in having the first gentleman in tbe land to be its G . M ., and speaking of the deep interest which his Eoyal Highness ever manifested in the welfare of the Order , which he had so nearly at heart . The toast was cordially received , and was followed by the trio , "Hail to thee , Prince of Wales , " admirably sung by Bros . Hand , Sanford and Minton , who were deservedly
applauded . Our Masonic Rulers formed the subject of the next toast , special mention being made of the valuable services each rendered to the Craft , and after the usual honours , Bro . Frank Laughlin played a brilliant pianoforte solo , from " Lurline . " The I . P . M . then assumed the gavel , and said the brethren were compelled to listen once more to his voice , of which they must have heard enough during
the past twelve months . He asked them to drink to the health of their W . M ., whom he had the pleasure of installing that evening . When he said Bro . Hughes was a great honour to the City of London Lodge , it was sufficient to say he would be an hononr to any Lodge in the world . He , therefore , asked them to drink with all cordiality the health of their esteemed Worshipful Master , hoping he might have a
grand year of prosperity . The toast was received most heartily , and was followed by tho trio , " The Peasant's Morning Song , " by Bros . Hand , Sanford and Minton . The Worshipful Master , who on rising to reply was most cordially received , thanked the brethren heartily for the manner in which they had received the toast , and Bro . Gundy specially for the flattering terms in which he had referred to
his bumble services . When he entered the Lodgo , lonr years ago , ho little dreamed of so soon occupying the position to which he had that day attained , by the kindness of the brethren . It was a matter of great pride to him , and if he had given them satisfaction in what little he had done that evening , he shonld labour ten times more to
give them satisfaction in the future . He then proposed , in suitabl . terms , the health of tho Initiate , which was followed by the glee " Banish , O Maiden " by Bros . Hand , Minton , Sanford and Laughlir Bro , Fletcher , in acknowledging tho toast , said he felt very much honoured by having been admitted a member of the Ancient and
City Of London Lodge, No. 901.
Honourable Institution of Freemasons , and expressed the hope that he might prove an apt student of the art , and become a good Mason . The Worshipful Master then proposed the health of his Immediate Past Master , remarking that very little was needed from him to enhance Bro . Cnndy in the opinion of the brethren . They must all acknowledge that he had conducted the ceremony of installation that evening in a most admirable manner . The effect was such that it
thoroughly thrilled him . Throughout his year of office everything that Bro . Cundy had done , or attempted to do , had been done with the best intentions , and for the welfare of the Lodge . They had much to thank him for , because , before ho took office , he was always bnsy in the Lodge , and did much to promote its interests . He had now pleasure in affixing to his breast a handsome jewel , whioh had been
unanimously voted by the brethren of the Lodge . He was sure tho company would all agree with him when he said never did jewel adorn the breast of a more worthy Mason than that of their Bro . Cundy . He hoped he might be spared many years to wear it , and to enjoy the respect and esteem in which he was held by all the brethren of the Lodge . The Immediate Past Master was
warmly received on rising to respond . He said : Believe me , brethren , throngh my year of office I have , as yon know , stood up many times to respond for the toast of my health , and to propose many toasts , and I generally have done so with a certain degree of confidence . But npon this occasion the words that onr excellent Worshipful Master has used , saying that T have given such immense
satisfaction to the Lodge during my year of office , and before , really make me feel a great amount of diffidence in returning thanks . I feel that during ray year of office , and since I have been a member of this Lodgo , 1 have been treated by every member of it , individually , with that degree of kindness , courtesy and respect which invariably exists amongst Freemasons , and it is this whioh makes me feel the
diffidence which I have mentioned . Your kindness in voting me this jewel will never be forgotten . It will be worn by me upon every available occasion , with the greatest amount of pride and pleasure , because I know it has been unanimously voted , out of the good feeling of the brethren of the City of London Lodge . I shall always wear it as a token of the good feeling which I know does
exist between every member of this Lodge and myself—a good feeling which , I trust , may continue to exist as long as I live . The W . M . next proposed the Visitors , on whose behalf Bros . Jeffreys , Thomas and Chalfont suitably replied- after which the health of the Past Masters was given , and duly acknowledged by the P . M . ' s present . Bros . Sanford and Minton sang excellent songs between these toasts ,
and after the Officers , Bros . Hand , Sanford , Minton and Laughlin gavo the quartette , "Oh ! who will o'er the Downs . " in capital style . The Tyler's toast closed the official programme , and was appropriately followed by the song , " The Passing Bell , " by Bro . Hand , soon after which the brethren separated , having spent a thoroughly happy and harmonious reunion .
