SELWYN LODGE , No . 1901 . IT is but a year since this Lodge , which has its quarters in East Dulwich , was consecrated , ancl yefc in that short period of time it has , to use a familiar expression , deserved well of the republic of Freemasonry . It has satisfied the very considerable liabilities which necessarily attend the establishment of a new Lodge , and to judge from the manner in which the proper official habitually fulfils his
duties , we should imagine that no long time henco it will have a very respectable balance to its credit . At all events , there was much enthusiasm at the second installation meeting of the"Selwyn" on Thursday evening . The chair was taken at the time fixed by Bro . W . Henry Hook W . M ., and there was present to support him a goodly company of Officers , members and Visitors , among the last being
Bros . Thomas 0 . Corpe I . P . M . 1839 , George F . Shult W . M . elect 1839 , W . Hawtin 1287 , James Wilson 299 , J . D . Etheridge 829 , W . II . Turner 1586 , S . Allison P . M . 186 , H .

749 . After the accustomed preliminaries , and the confirmation of the minutes of the previous meeting , the Report of the Audit Committee was submitted and received . Bro . James Wilson , of Panmure Lodge , No . 229 ( Scotland ) , having been balloted for as a joining member , and accepted , the chief business of the evening commenced with the presentation to the Worshipful Master of Bro . Louis C . N . Nicod ,
M . RC . S ., W . M . elect , for the benefit of installation . Bro . Allison P . M . 186 acted as M . C , aud a Board of Installed Masters having been formed , the ceremony of inducting Bro . Nicod into the chair of K . S . was most ably and impressively conducted by Bro . Hook . After the re-admission of tbe brethren below the rank of P . M ., and the usual salutations , Bro . Nicod appointed and invested the
following brethren aa his Officers for the ensuing year—namely , Bros . Alexander J . Bellis S . W ., W . R . Burnett J . W ., A . Campbell Treasurer , William Henry Hook I . P . M . and Secretary , A . R . W . Powles S . D . ' Walter B . Marcus J . D ., Charles Mussared I . G ., Alfred Graineer Organist , William J . Bullimorc W . S ., Robert E . Anderson W . S . Thomas Bowler Tyler . This done , the Lodge had forthwith a taste
of the genuine quality of its new Master , as ou him devolved tbe duty of initiating Mr . Henry Tarrant into the mysteries of the firsfc degree of Freemasonry , ancl Bro . Nicod acquitted himself extremel y well . Lodge was then closed , and the brethren adjourned to the banquet , Bro . Lassom , who is caterer for Dnlwich College , superintending the more substantial matters connected with this part of iho
proceedings , while Bro . J . S . Gurney , mine host of the East Dulwich Hotel where the meeting was held , did all that was necessary in respect of the other requisites . As , however , dinner was not served till nine o ' clock and we and sundry other brethren were under the necessity of leaving shortly after half-past ten in order to catch tbe lasfc train for London we cannot , of course , except prophetically , speak of what happened
after our departure . We can only suggest that , as all thino-s went so harmoniously when we were present , the nsnal toast list was received with the accustomed loyalty . In this connection , as our American cousins are iu the habit of phrasing it , we must content ourselves with saying that at our departure we and our co-travellers carefully sorted ourselves , so thafc there might bo no danger . of any
case of mistaken identity arising , and further , thafc we reached our several abodes without , as in the celebrated cab adventure , described some years since in Punch , being in the slighest degree " mixed . " We all knew , and were known to , each other , and bad no difficulty in selecting our respective destinations . So much may be said by way of jocularity ; but to resume the mode of speech which is more
serious , and therefore more appropriate , we cannot close our remarks without expressing our thanks for the hospitality we experienced and onr belief that a Lodge , which is so well served by its Officers ' and so loyally attended by its members , and can , moreover , in its one year ' s existence boast of no less than eighteen initiates , has a particularl y bright future before ifc . Ifc certainl y has our heartiest good wishes for its continued prosperity .
