Domatic Lodge, No. 177.
the customary interchange of fraternal greetings . The brethren then adjourned for the banquet , which was laid out in the most elaborate style in the Throne-room ; the saloon presented an unusually brilliant appearance , the walls being literally covered with flogs and trophies , while strings of bannerets were suspended from
the ceiling and supporting pillars . A sumptuous menu was provided by Bro . F . H . Clemow , whose arrangements for the comfort and enjoyment of the numerous company elicited unbounded expressions of satisfaction . Before proceeding with the toasts an artistic programme and book of words , together with an excellent portrait of the
Worshipful Master , were distributed amongst the guests . During the evening a choice selection of music was rendered by Madame Riechelman , Miss Emily Foxcroft , Mr . Dyved Lowys , and Mr . Stanley Owens ; Bro . Riechelman presiding ably at the pianoforte . The Worshipful Master , in graceful terms , proposed the loyal toasts , in
doing which he characterised the Jubilee year as a theme for such nn epic as had never yet been written , and no poet could treat ifc commensurate with its greatness . The toast Loyalty to the Throne and Devotion to the Craft was most enthusiastically received . The Grand Officers were represented by Bro . C . A . Cottebruno P . G . P .,
in the absence of Bro . Edgar Bowyer P . G . Stand . Bear ., who had been obliged to leave early ; and Bro . H . N . Price I . P . M . then proposed in felicitous terms the health of the Worshipful Master . They all well knew his good heartedness , kindness , and thorough application to , and love of , Masonry . They had seen him this evening
initiate an old and esteemed friend of his own ( the speaker ' s ) , and he was sure , from the careful manner in which he had performed thafc ceremony , it augured well for a grand and happy year , so far as the working of the Lodge was concerned . They would find him one of the happiest and best of brothren , and when he retired from the
chair he would do so with the love , esteem , and affection of every brother of the Lodge . The toast was received with every demonstration of welcome , and Bro . Simner , on rising to respond , was greeted with the utmost enthusiasm . After acknowledging the kindly expressions made towards him , both in and out of the Lodge ,
he said it had always been his endeavour to improve the tone of Masonry , and in this aim he shonld persevere as long as he lived . He trusted bis Officers would give him the same amount of support ns they had done his predecessor , and perhaps at the end of his year he might be able to give as much satisfaction as their worthy
I . P . M . bad prophesied . He was going up as a Steward to the Girls ' Festival , and if the brethren had any gnineas to spare he should bo pleased to add them to his list . He did nofc intend to press them now , bnt at the next meeting he should send his list round . He wished to make up that list to 200 gnineas
and was prepared to take half that responsibility on his own shoulders if th 9 brethren wonld make up the rest . This was the first year of their now Centenary , and also the Jubilee year of the Queen , and he wished them to show they appreciated the importance of the event . Their I . P . M . was very proud of having been
W . M . during the Centenary year of the history of tho Lodge , but he had the proud privilege of being W . M . in the Jnbilee year , which he considered far better , for tho Jubilee Festival of a Sovereign was a less frequent occurrence , and would be a season of joy and rejoicing all round . He agaiu thanked them for the great cordiality
with which the toast had been received . The W . M . then proposed the Initiate , whom ho welcomed with Shakspeare ' s greeting — " Onr hearts of brother ' s temper do receive you ia with all kind love , good thought and reverence . " Brother McPherson having replied , the Visitors were welcomed by the Worshipful Master , and
appropriate responses were made by Bros . J . Terry Secretary R . M . B . I ., Edwin Storr P . M . 167 , J . Hill W . M . 1653 , and E . Lowther P . M . 1307 . In giving the I . P . M . and Installing Master the W . M . said it had long been a custom in this Lodge for the outgoing Master to instal his successor , and Bro . Prico had been no exception to the
rule . The manner in which ho performed the ceremony was an intellectual trest , anl those who were present in tho Lodge had an opportunity of seeiiig what the brethren thought of him . After some farther words of eulogy he presented to Bro . Price a handsome P . M . ' s jewel , bearing inscription similar to thafc on the watch . This made the
third presentation Bro . Prico had received during the Centenary year , which was a memorablo one to him and to the Lodge . And ho hoped ho might live many years to enjoy their love and admiration . Bro .
Price acknowledged the gift in suitable words . Other toasts followed , including tbo Past Masters , the Treasurer and Secretary , and the Officers of the Lodge . The proceedings throughout were characterised with fcho utmost harmony and good feeling .
