DOMATIC LODGE , No . 177 .
SPLENDID and interesting as have been many of the gatherings lately in connection with this popular old Lodge the reunion of Friday evening last must be regarded as decidedly one of the most successful and exhilarating . Those who were present at the Centenary Festival afc the Criterion last year will remember the eolat with which Bro . Harry Nelson Prico entered upon his term of office ,
and the numerous assemblage of members and visitors who clustered around him on Friday last at Anderton ' s Hotol , had the gratification of hearing the emphatic " well done" expressed in acknowledgment of services faithfully discharged and of duty ably done . There were many features of interest to render this gathering more
than ordinarily important , for in addition to Bro . Price setting the laudable example of a Worshipfnl Master installing his successorthe crowning point of tho mastorly conduct of the proceedings of the year—there were many pleasing incidents in the course of the evoning , relating to the Centenary year just closed , the Royal Jubilee
that is approaching , and last , though by no means the least , a most substantial and valuable recognition by the brethren of the services rendered to the Lodge by Bro . Harry Nelson Price during his memorable and distinguished year of office . A spirit of robust vigour in work , and abundant , nofc fco say lavish , hospitality to follow pervaded
the entire assembly , which must certainly be set down as one of the most thoroughly enjoyable in the annals of a Lodge which proudly boasts of a continuous and uninterrupted career of upwards of 100 years . The brethren assembled soon after three o'clock , under the presidency of the retiring Worshipful Master , who was supported by
a goodly muster of the members , and amongst the galaxy of Visitors , eighty-four in number , the purple and gold of distinguished Masonij rank were in profuse display upon the dais . Ample and perfect arrangements for the comfort and convenience of the numerons party wen made by Bro . F . Clemow , the proprietor of this famous oil
City hotel and favourite trysting-place of Masons , and although there were no fewer than half-a-dozen important meetings and dinners in progress during the same evening , every matter of detail was so admirably carried out thafc not a single hitch occurred to mar the pleasures of the event . Amongst those present during the evening
were-.- —Bros . H . Price W . M ., A . Simner S . W ., H . J . Chapman J . W ., G . Everett Treasurer , H . Salmon I . G ., C . Riochelman Organist , T . Morris Secretary , J . E . Spnrrell D .

J . E . Shand P . M . Westminster , W . W . Morgan jun ., & c . Lodge was opened in accordance with ancient rites , and the minutes of the previous meeting and the auditors' report were duly confirmed . Advancing to the second degree , Bro . V . Merillo was passed , and sabsequently Bros . W . F . Turner , F . B . Hallatt , and I . J . C . Alger were
raised to the sublime degree . All these ceremonies were rendered in perfect manner , eliciting unanimous expressions of congratulation from all the brethren present . Brother Abel Simner S . W . was then presented as the Worshipful Master elect , and having formally assented to the usual interrogatories ' on accepting the responsibilities
of the chair , a Board of Installed Masters was constituted , and the ceremony of installation was performed by Brother narry Nelson Price in faultless manner , and on the readmission of the brethren the newly-installed Worshipful Master was proclaimed and saluted with full Masonio honours . In presenting the Worshipful Master with the
warrant of the Lodge , the Installing Master laid stress upon the fact that the document had been in possession of preceding Masters for " upwards of 100 years . " Bro . Simner then proceeded to invest his Officers for the year , addressing to each a few appropriate remarks relative to his respective dnties . The collars
were thus bestowed : — Brothers Harry Nelson Price I . P . M ., Chapman S . W ., Harvey J . W ., George Everett P . M . Treasurer , T . Morris Secretary , Salmon S . D ., Spurrell J . D ., J . Billinghurst I . G ., Goodfellow D . C , Hewctson W . S ., aud Walkley Tyler . The ancient charges to Master , Wardens and Brethren were delivered with
considerable elocutionary effect by the Installing Master , antl the whole ceremony , directed by Brother Ferguson P . M ., the musical portions being led by Bro . Riechclman , on the organ , was carried ont in the moat impressive and perfect manner . Brother Ferguson P . M . then stepped forward and said an important duty had been
entrusted to him , and he had undertaken it with a considerable amount of pleasure . Thi 3 year was a very important one in the history of the Domatic Lodge , for it was not every Lodge that
had arrived at its 100 th year of active work . This Lodge had the proud distinction of having passed through 100 consecutive ycai-3 of continuous work ; and Bro . Harry Nelson Price was a fortunate man to have held the position of Worshipful Master during

the auspicious year in which the Centenary of tho Domatio Lodge was celebrated . Bro . Price went into office afc an opportune t mn , and had discharged the duties of that office ri ^ ht well ; so much so that it occurred to the minds of many of the brethren that the year should not be allowed to pass by without some lasting memento of
so important an event . They thought they would like to mark ifc in a particular way , by presenting their retiring Worshipful Master with some memento of the great occasion that was celebrated during his tenure of office . It had , therefore , fallen to his ( the speaker ' s ) lot to present to their worthy Immediate Past Master a token of the
good fellowship and kindly feeling which the members of the Domatic Lodge entertained towards him , and he begged Bro . Price ' s acceptance of a gold watch and chain , which had been gladly subscribed for by the brethren , and which he hoped their esteemed brother might live long to wear , with the most agreeable recollections of the
affectionate regard in which ho was held by every member of the Lodge . Amidst hearty and spontaneous applause the testimonial was handed to Bro . Price . It consisted of a valuable and handsome gold watch and chain , enclosed in morocco case , the inscription on the plate being as follows : —
Presented to BRO . HARRY PRICK , To mark the close of the first oentenary of THE DOMATIC LODGE , No . 177 , As a memento of the uniform courtesy and kindness which has
characterised him as Worshipful Master daring his successful year of office—1886-7 .
Brother Ferguson continued : Brother Prfce , I have very great pleasure in presenting you with this memento , the spontaneous tribute oi ' respect and esteem from members of the Domatic Lodge . As you look npon it , and I trust you may be able fco do so for many years to come , yon will be reminded of the pleasant and successful year of
office which you have just completed . You will think also of the kind feelings which you must have aroused amongst the brethren when they havo taken this voluntary form , without any trouble on onr part . I trust you will have the happiness of wearing that watch and chain for many years to come , and that health and strength may be
vouchsafed to you . Whilst the gift marks the kindly feeling of tbe Domatio Lodge , it will also remind you that you owe something to the kindly feeling of the Lodgp , and that therefore you should not allow the prosperity or happiness of the Domatic Lodge to want a helping hand from you . When in the course of time that watch and chain shall be
transferred to some of the younger generation , it will stilt mark the kiud feeling which the members of the Domatic Lodge entertained towards you as their Worshipful Matter . Bro . Fergnsou's addresi was received with prolonged applause , and the Worshipful Master briefly thanked the brethren for the spontaneous way in which they
had come forward to assist ra providing this testimonial . He assured Bro . Price it was entirely a free-will offering , and ifc was their sincere wish that when he looked at that watch he might have pleasant reminiscences of Freemasonry in genera ! , and of those event * which should bind him closer and closer to the Domatic Lodge in particular .
Bro . Harry Nelson P . ice , who was received with something like an ovation on riding to respond , said he could scarcely find words adequately to express his thanks for the very great kindness whiuh the members ofthe Domatic Lodge had evinced towards him that d iy . It had been a very important year in tbe history of the Lodge , and he
acknowledged with gratitude that he had beeu well supported by every member of it in the discharge of his dutieB . He asked them to believe him when he said he really could not express how heartily he thanked them for this kind mark of their consideration . He should never for a moment forget the happy year he had just
passed ; yet at the same time , when in their thoughtfulness and © nsiderate kindness they presented him with sur-h a handsome testimonial , he thought he scarcely deserved ifc . If he had given ih mi safc sfaction he considered he had simply done his duty , aud nhould have taken their approval as his adequate reward . However , they
had been kind enongh to present him with this handsome and valuable gift ; believe him it would cement his feelings with this Lodge , and if he could be of any use to it , he only begged thera to command his services . He trusted that as long as he lived he should continue a member of the Lodge , and that at the end of his time ,
when he should be called away from this world , he might leave it with the same good feelings as now subsisted amongst every m ruber of the good old Domatic Lodge . He resumed his seat amiOi-fc re . newod applnuse . Considerable time was then occupied in discussing the circular recently issued by the Pro Grand Master
fcho Earl of Carnarvon , in respect of the approaching Royal Jubilee ( fully described in our leading columns last wt-ek ) , and the subject was ultimately deferred to the next meeting of the Lodge . On the motion of Bro . George Everett P . M . Treasurer , seconded by Bro . Spink P . M ., the sum of 25 guineas was voted
from the funds of the Lodge towards Bro . Simner's list , as Steward afc the forthcoming Festival of the Royal Masonic Institution for Gii Is . The Worshipful Master threw out as a suggestion that us this was the first year of the new centenary of this Lodgo , he should like to take up 200 gnineas . If the brethren wonld supply
between them 100 guineas , he would undertake the responsibility upon himself of making up the amount named . Bro . Ferguson P . M . ^ ave notice of a motion lor the next meeting tbafc a committee be formed to consider in what way the Domatic Lodge would be affected by the Jubilee of Her Majesty ' s accession to th * Throne , and what
entertainment should be arranged to celebrate thafc auspicious event , Ou t he motion of Bro . White P . M . a cordial vote of thanks was accorded to the Installing Master ( Bro . Harry Nelson Price ) and recorded on , he minutes , for the able way in which he had discharged his imoortant duties during his year of office . He ( the speaker ) was
