S . E ., J . Anderson S . N ., J . Findly re-elected Treas ., Alex . McCulloch first S ., J . Cox second S ., James Young third S ., and J . Peirston Janitor . Tho charges wero excellently delivered by the installing Principal . The Comps . adjourned for refreshment ; after tho toast of tho Queen ancl the Royal Arch of Scotland had been given , the next was the P . G . C . of Lanarkshire . G . W . Wheeler P . G . S . N .

regretted that , as senior Officer present , it devolved on him to reply . He was happy to say the Provincial Grancl Chapter were doing good work , and he believed it was , in a great measure , owing to the exertions of some of its members that Royal Arch Masonry had made such rapid strides during tho past six or seven years . Ho was glad to see the advance made in their own Chapter , for when ho returned

to Glasgow seven years ago it was the first Chapter he visited , and they then requited extraneous aid to do their work , now he was proud to say all tho Officers appointed that night wero fully equal to perform tho duties of tho respective chairs . Comps . McNaught ancl Phillip replied for tho Past first Principals , tho latter proposing Comp . Mnir , who , he was glad to say was the right man iu the right

place . Comp . Mnir said , if Chapter 87 was not second to any in the city , it shonld bo no fault of his , for though he had worked hard during tho past year , he meant to do rnoro this , and to enable him to dofull justice to tho Chapter ho had declined to take office in his Lodge , as he thought one at a time was enough for any ordinary man ; some had tried to fill the first chair of Lodgo ancl Chapter

at the same time , and if they did not make tho Chapter what it shonld be ho did not wonder . Comp . J . McLeish proposed the Visiting Companions ; as a Mason of thirty-fivo years standing he felt glad to welcome their visitors ; it was ono of the bright features of Masonry that they had no jealous rivalry of those in tho samo trade , so to speak , but were happy to see the Officers of other Chapters

present ; as an old Knight Templar , he was proud to see somo visiting Knights , —he was also proud of tbe position he occupied , though some might think they should have younger men in office , but he was not in his dotage , and wonld gladly retire for new blood to fill the post whenever the Chapter wished it , but in any capacity he would always welcome Visitors . Comp . Wheeler replied in suitable

terms , and then proposed Prosperity to Chapter 87 , coupling with it Comp . Mercer , who , for the excellent service he had rendered as first Sojourner , had been promoted to the office of D . Z . Comp . Mercer thanked the Comps ., but speaking was not his forte ; ho would be glad , in any capacity , to help on the business of the Chapter . The Office Bearers of the Chapter was responded to in a neat speech by the Treas . Bro . Findly and first S . Bro . McCulloch . Comp . Findly J .

gave the absent members . Comp . Parman replied ; though he had contrived to be present to night , yet for two years he had been an absent member , but his heart was still warm towards 87 . The Stewards , the Chairman , and Croupiers were given and acknowledged , and the last toast wound up a very pleasant evening , rendered still more so by the excellent playing and singing of I . P . Z . McNaught , and the vocal abilities of Comps . G . Muir , James McLeish , Price , Hepburn , Dorman , Holley and others .

M . closed the Lodge , and the brethren adjourned to the banquet table ,

where ample justice was done to the viands provided . Grace having been sung , the W . M . proposed the health of the Queen , who had reigned with impartial justice for a considerable time over the Empire , and had the best wishes of Englishmen for her future happiness . The Grand Master , H . R . H . the Prince of Wales , was tho next toast given . If the progress made by the Craft during the past year or

Tho health of tho Earl ol Carnarvon , Lord Skelmersdale , and the rest of the Grand Officers was the next . In the Earl of Carnarvon our Grand Master has a valuable assistant .

ready to devote their energies lor the benefit of the Craft . Bro . Williams rose -. he now had the pleasure of proposing the health of the W . M ., who had always worked well , and was a credit to tho Lodge . He felt sure their Master would endeavour to excel in his office as W .

for the kind way in which the mention of his name had been received by the brethren . Bro . Williams , in speaking of hi ? deeds , had spoken more of what should be rather than what was . Hi had , in fact , spoken as the W . M . wished he could be spoken of . However , he was always anxious to perform the duties of his office to tho satisfaction of the brethren , if ho failed it would not be foi pant of endeavour on his part . He fully appreciated tho honour

Installation Meetings

Not being a very old Lodge , they conld not boast of many , bnt tho few they had tho W . M . consi . dered equal to any in tho United Kingdom . No Lodgo could possibly havo a more anxions or efficient body than they . Bro . Michael had

conducted the affairs of tho Lodgo during his year of office in a most suitable manner . Ho hoped Bro . Willing would long be among them ; ho felt sure that he would always bo ready to assist in promoting tho welfare of tho brethren . The I . P . M ., Bro . Williams , was very active in the formation of the Locige , and since then ever anxious for its success . During his term of office the Lodgo had mado as great , if

not greater , progress than during any other year of its existence . The Master was very grateful for what Bro . Williams had done for him that evening , and trusted he would long have health to bo among them . He had now a very pleasant duty to perform—to present Bro . Williams with a P . M . ' s jewel , which had been voted by the Lodge in recognition of his services . It was a well-merited reward , and he

hoped Bro . Williams would long bo among them with it on his breast . Bro . Williams was extremely grateful for tho way in which tho toast had been proposed and received . Ho was never happier than when at work in a Lodge of Free masons . Ho was glad to know he had the good wishes of tho members of the Metropolitan Lodgo . Bro . Michael added his thanks .

He trusted the Past Masters wonld never be lost sight of by the members . The Worshipful Master , in greeting the initiates stated that no Lodge has been so much indebted for its progress to new brethren as tho Metropolitan .

The health of the Treasurer aud Secretary was next afforded . Their Treasurer had worked heart aud soul for the Lodge , and had done all in his power to increase the funds thereof .
