Edrnpt , Simpson , Dnnn , and Lincoln were passed ; both ceremonies being accurately rendered . The next bnsiness waa the ceremony of installing Bro . Smith to the chair of K . S . by the W . M ., who per . formed this duty in a manner that save the highest satisfaction and enjoyment to tho large number of membera and guests who were present . Bro . Smith chose the following Officers for the ensning

year : —Bros . Lancaster I . P . M ., Ilnnlz S . W ., Bieling J . W ., Bryant S . D ., Tongue J . D ., Gordon I . G ., Apsey M . C , and Banks Tyler . The W . M . presented , in the name of tho Lodge , tho handsome P . M . ' s jewel , which had been voted at last meeting , hoping that Bro . Lancaster wonld live many years to wear it . Bro . Lancaster in reply thanked the brethren for their kindness to him dnring his year of

office , and assured them he would always do everything he possibly could for tho advancement of the Lodge . Ballot was then taken for Mr . Goorge Edward Davenport , aged 37 , pnblio accountant , 8 Warwick Street , Resent Street . This proved to be unanimous in hia favour , and ho was initiated into the mysteries of Freemasonry by the W . M ., in a most creditable manner . After hearty good wishes

had been given to the new W . M ., afc the satisfactory report of tha Andit Committee rend , and other business transacted , Lodge waa closed in due form , and the brethren retired to tho banqaetting hall . When grace had been said , and the usual Loyal and Masonic toast * disposed of , the I . P . M . rose and proposed the health of Bro . Smith , their new W . M ., stating that he had been known to them all for

years as an able and energetic worker in the Lodge . Personally ho wished Bro . Smith a prosperous year of office , and hoped he would have the support of the brethren , and terminate his year with even a larger balance than the one already in hand . The W . M . in the conrso of his reoly said , if tho enthusiastic manner of the brethren receiving his name had anything to do with their feelings , it showed

he had the sympathy of the brethren in starting on his year of office . He was happy to say they were strong in numbers as well as in exchequer , and he hoped to be able to pass the Lodge to his successor in the same healthy condition in which he received ifc from the I . P . M ., who had that evening performed snch good work , namely , one raising , four passings , nnd the ceremony of installation , all of which had

been performed in a most able manner . Bro . Lancaster deserved the highest thanks of tho Lodge for the way in which ho had done the work . The candidates he had introduced , and the manner in which ho had represented fche Lodgo afc the various Charitable Institutions . The Immediate Past Master , who on rising was greeted with long and continued applause , stated thafc he considered ifc a very

great hononr and p leasure to have presided over fche Lodge duriner the pasfc year ; he had received from all fche greatest kindness and assistance . He congratulated the Lodge on its having so goodlv a balance . He-conld not finish his remarks without thanking the Officers for the regularity and punctuality of their attendance ; nofc only afc the regular , bufc also at the weekly meetings , where they had

attained so high a standard of efficiency as workers . He reminded the brethren that he was again going np as Steward , and would be pleased to receive any assistance from them , however small . The W . M . then proposed the health of the Initiate . Bro . Davenport was well known to a large circle of Masons as a mosfc conscientious man ; he wonld prove to be a happy addition to their Lodge . This brother ,

in reply , stated thafc it gave him much pleasure to belong to the Polish National ; he could only thank them mosfc heartily for the very kind manner in which they had recpived the toast of his health . The W . M . next crave the Visitors , which toasfc was replied to by Bro . Saegarfc and Crombie . Bro . Saegarfc stated he was very much obliged to the brethren for the hospitality he always received afc tbe Polish

Lodge ; ho thought one little matter ought not to be overlooked : that was to give honour to whom honour was due . He had been highly pleased with the manner in which the brethren had received the name of Bro . Lancaster , who had worked so hard , and discharged his dnties in such a way ns will lay up for him a crown of joy and rejoicing . Bro . Saegarfc next alluded to the W . M ., Bro . Smith , who had

already proved he was able fco perform his dnties as Master ; he felfc sure that the brethren will have no cause to regret the choice they made . Bro . Crombie tb'inked the brethren for the manner in which they had honoured the mention of his name . He was very pleased with the way in which all ' the duties had been performed , and as an old Mason desired to give a little piece of advice to his younger

brethren . That was , to pny every attention to their Masonic education , and carry out the principles of Masonry . No good Mason conld possibly be a bad man . It was the first time he had the pleasure of visiting them , but hoped soon to renew his acquaintance with the members . The toasfc of fche P . M . ' s was fluently responded to by Bro . Jngielski .
