ST . MARTIN'S-LE-GRAND LODGE , No . 1538 .
PROMINENT among the Lodges of the metropolis is this comparatively young , bnt eminently active and zealons section of the Fraternity , whose annual meeting was held on the 12 th inst ., under the most gratifying auspices . We have had occasion previously to notice the readiness with which our brethren of the Post Office and Civil Service have ever come forward to assist in the
cause of Masonry , whenever they could find anything for their hands to do ; and it must have been eminently satisfactory to Bro . William Gibbs to have found the brethren rallying round him so freely and spontaneously as they have done during bis year of office . We shall not be accused of any fulsome adulation or undue praise in saying that to our Bro . Major Williams and his esteemed brother , who has
so ably seconded his efforts , much of the success of this Lodge is to be attributed . At any rate , when at any of its meetings we have invariably found an all-pervadiog sense of unanimity and good feeling animating the brethren , who are always most ready to assist the Officers in carrying out the important Junctions entrusted to them . This spirit was manifested to a
marked degree on Wednesday evening , when the members of tho Lodge assembled at the Guildhall Tavern , Gresham-street , for the election of Officers for tbe ensuing year . Lodge was opened at five o ' clock , in accordance with ancient rites , Bro . William Gibbs presiding , supported by Bros . W . Smith S . W ., Major W . E . Williams P . M . Treasurer , J . Hookey Secretary , J . P . Parkes S . D ., R .
Liversedge J . D ., G . Hatch I . G ., George Gregory I . P . M ., F . B . Williams P . M ., T . G . Flnck Steward , A . 0 . Moffatt P . M ., A . C . Woodward P . M ., and many other Officers and brethren . Amongst the Visitors we noticed Bros . G . 0 . Barry P . G . P . O ., G . T . Edwards P . M . 788 , 0 . Henry Price W . M . 162 , George Clayton 780 , J . W . Baldwin 1692 , F . 0 . Witty 92 , R . Sewill 21 , and others . After the transaction of some
formal business , the ballot was opened for Mr . John Viney Smith , proposed by Bro . Ferguson , and seconded by Bro . Major W . E . Williams P . M . Treasurer ; for Mr . Frederick Gibbon , whose sponsors were the same ; and for Mr . William James WNIcocks , proposed by Bro . the Treasurer , seconded by Bro . J . Hookey . In each case tbe voting was unanimous , and Messrs . Smith and Gibbon being in
attendance , they were duly initiated into the mysteries and privileges of tbe Order , the ceremony being performed in masterly manner by the W . M ., whose working on this , as on many previous occasions was much admired . In the election which followed , it was gratifying to observe the unanimity with which the selection of the brethren felt upon Bro . W . Smith , as successor to tbe principal chair for tbe
ensuing year . It has been our pleasurable duty to observe on many previous occasions the hearty manner in which the Officers of this Lodge have rallied round the chair , ably supported by Past Masters of eminence in the City , but it must be said that during his year of office as S . W . Bro . Smith has well earned the honour which was conferred upon him on Wednesday night . There was to be no question of
course as to tbe re-election of Bro . Major W . E . Williams as honorary Treasurer . All who know anything abnnt tho St . Martin ' s-le-Grand Lodge know how unwearying have been his exertions in promoting the interests of the Lodge , and especially in husbanding its funds , and devoting them to the cause of Charity . It was , therefore , no matter of surprise that the brethren should have beon so united in
their wish that he should retain for another year at least the office he has so well and worthily filled ; and we are assured that the graceful compliments with which tbe request was accompanied were as sincere as they were well expressed . Bro . Gilbert was re-elected tyler , and at the conclusion of some formal business Lodge was closed in form , and the brethren adjourned to dinner , which was
admirably served by Bros . Bitter and Clifford , the arrangements B ng , T _ a BSna ' - Personally superintended by Bro . Henry Mills , with jsro . Marcham as toastmaster . A sumptuous bill of fare having een discussed , tbe customary Loyal and Ma . onio toasts were Proposed , the Worshipfnl Master alluding in eloquent terms to the services rendered by the Prince of Wales , as Most , Worshipful Grand paster to the Ciaft , and to His Royal Hiehness ' s visit to
Contintai Lodges , proving his active interest in Freemasonry .

John Viney Smith , in responding , said he deeply appreciated the honour which had been conferred upon him that evening by having been admitted aa a member of the Institution ; he should devote his best energies to the task of fitting himself as a student of its beautifnl and symbolic mysteries . Bro . Frederick Gibbon also returned
thanks in suitable terms , and said he should endeavour to emulate the example of those who had so worthily preceded him in promoting the best interests of the Lodge . The W . M . then proposed the health of the Past Masters , to whom he tendered his heartfelt thanks for the valuable aid they had rendered to hira during bis year of office . He associated with the toast the names of P . M . ' s Woodward
and Gregory , who suitably responded , tbe latter acknowledging the generous support accorded to him by the Lodge on the occasion of his going up as a Steward for the Royal Masonio Benevolent Institution . Iu proposing the health of the Hon . Treasurer aud Secretary , tbe W . M . said all tbe members of the Lodge were aware of the admirable manner in which Bro . Major Williams had con .
ducted its affairs , and how he had succeeded in raising it to its present state of efficiency . To Bro . Hookey also their best thanks were due for the admirable manner in whioh he had discharged the duties of his important office . The toast was received with special enthusiasm , and Bro . Major Williams , in responding , assured the brethren it was a source of much pleasure to him to be Treasurer of
this Lodge , and he was grateful for the honour they conferred upon him year b y year . He congratulated the Lodge upon its satisfactory financial position , and expressed the hope that it might continue to manifest that degree of interest in the Charities it had done daring the present year . Bro . Hookey also briefly responded , expressing his satisfaction with the manner in which the Lodge was
being worked , Several other toasts were proposed , including that of the W . M . elect , in giving which the W . M . spoke in highly eulogistic terms of Bro . Smith , and the way he had discharged his duties as S . W ., expressing the belief , whioh he was sure would be shared in b y the brethren generally , that he had eminently qualified himself for the post to which he had that day been elected . Bro . W .
