the Worshipfnl Master sard , was admired by all for her good qualities and for her r ' esire to advance the interests of those under hor rule . In proposing the health of H . R . H . the Prince of Wales M . W . G . M .. the W . M . felt the brethren would express fche heartiest feelings in connection with the toast , as the Prince of Wales was really

had b ° en a great pleasure to him , as he was sure ifc was to his Provincial Grand Master , Sir Francis Bntdetfc , when the present Master of tho Kensington Lodge was invested ns one of the Wardens of the Province of Middlesex . From what he knew of their present Master he felt that the work of the Lodge wonld bo properly carried on
during the ensuing year . Bro . Woodward said thafc one great thing which struck him in connection with Freemasonry , and he had travelled throngh eleven different countries of the world—was thafc we could meet in Freemasonry men , relatives , and friends , whom it was impossible to meet in any other institution in the world . He had
" 'been entertained by members of the Craft in different countries , and Ibad at all times great pleasure in being present afc Masonic gatherings . Bro . Soppet followed , thanking the brethren for the compliment of bping associated with the toast of Grand Officers . He briefly reviewed the system under which he and his fellow Grand Stewards
were appointed , and their status afc the end of their year of office . As a member of the Royal Kensington Lodge he looked upon that of which he was then a guest as a brother or a sister , and felt especial pleasure—as one of tbe founders and the present Father of the Royal Kensington Lodge—in making the acquaintance of brethren so
iutimately associated so far as name was concerned . The members of the Roval Kensington Lodge had often wondered what the Kensington Lodge was like . Now , from personal observation he should be able to report to his brethren , and he hoped the two Lodges would learn to know more of each other in consequence . He
could truly say that for working and hosp-. tality tho Kensington Lodgo was nofc to be excelled . Brother Jcrayn Boyd als i replied . Ho was gratifiad tbat he had tho the opportunity of witnessing the proceedings of thafc day . lie could bufc endorse the remarks of his brother Grand Steward , and bear testimony to tho
excellent way in which tho Worshipful Maater had been placed in sho chair by Bro . Read tho Secretary . Bro . Read then assumed tho gavel . Hacl the Immediate Pasfc Master of the Lodge been present he would no doubt have been better able to submit the toast of tho Worshirjfcil Master , but in his absence ho would do his beat . As tho
first Master vf tho Kensington Ledge , Bro . Read had bad especial opportunities of judging of tho ability of its present ruler . Ho could truly say that Bro . Walter waa a thoroughly good Mason . In any case of benevolence no ono could lyj fonnd more ready to rrn ;(< T any assistance that lay iu his power , and as ruler of the Lodge for tho
coming year hj felt he would add to his aheady acquired reputation . The Worshipful Master thanked tbe brethren most sincerely for the kind manner in which they had drank fco tho last toast . He felt he should have a successful year , as ho had good Officers and a united
body of members . Tbe brethren of the Lodge had supported him hitherto , ancl would no doubt do so now that he was at . tho head of the Lodge . The toasfc of the Visitors followed , the Worshi pfnl Maater giving the guests a most cordial welcome , aud assuring them that hia

coupling his namo with the toasfc . He saw around him so many brethren with whom he was intimately associated—ol \ friends and now—that be felt as if he was in one of his own Lodges . He waa particularly pleased thafc he had been present that day , aa he had s » en tho installation ceremouv worked in such a manner as conld
not be excelled . In tho courso or two months time ifc would be his duty—if he was spared—to instal hia successor in the Hammersmith Lodge , and be felt he conld nofc do better on thafc occasion than copy tbe working of B <* o . Bead as displayed that dayas far as he was able . H « could nofc have had a better lesson
than be had received in the Kensington Lodge , for which , aud for a mosfc hospital reception , he h ° artily thanked tbe brethren . Bro . Ellard desired to add his tribute of praise fco tbe Secretary of the Lodge for the way in which ho had discharged the duties of Installing Master . As Director of Ceremonies of the Province of Norths aud
Hunts for the past six years , Bro . Ellard had attended very many ins'allations , but he had nevor seen the reremnny so ablv rendered as ifc had been that night . Bro . Foakes felt an especial interest in the Lodge , his voice having b ° en among the first heard in it nt the time of its consecration . He was indeed phased to witness the prosperity
ifc was enjoying . The Worshipfnl Master proposed the health of tha Installing Master , and Bro . Rend , in replying , said he had heard so much praise of his working that night as to be almost overcome by the flattery of the brethren . If he had performed the work of in-« tallation as ably as their prarVs led him to believe , he was truly
pleaded . He felt that it was becanse he always strove to do his bpst thafc the compliments had been so numerous . He trus ^ d he might always deserve the same kind feelings as had been expressed towards him that day . Ho really felt , tbat so many kind expressinns mnst really como from the hearts of fchosfl who uttered them , and he
sincerely thanked them all for their kindness . The Worsh pful Mister felfc the next , fcnasfc was one which would give the brethrm equal pleasure with tho lasfc—ifc being to the Past Masters . . Thev all knew that the longer tbe Lodge was in existence the more Pasfc Masters they got , bufc it was an especial pleasure to him that so many
of his predecessors in the chair * had been able t ^ attend and support him on fche presen' occasion . Bro . Barker tendered bis sincere thanks for the toasfc , to which he hoped to have to respond for many years to cotnfe . Bro . Metcalfe followedexpressing the pleasure he felfc afc
, being present , and in seeing so grand an assembly of visitors and members . Bro . Taylor said his greatest pleasure would be to do anything he could for the Worshi p ful Master or any of the brethren , and he felt tbat all the Past Masters were actuated with feelings of
a similar character . The health of the Treasurer and Secr'tary was n « xfc drank . Bvo . Barker felt au especial p ' easure in replying on this , fche fourth installation at which he had been honoured as
Treasurer of the Lodge . He referred to what tbe Lodge bad been ablo to do in the past on behalf of the Charities , ! l"d h'ptl they would be ablo to continne , even if not to increase their grants to tho Institutions . He . should like to five afc least thirty
guineas each yeir to the Charities , even if by so doing thw members had to content themselves with ono banquet less . Bro . Red assnr d the brethren fan performed tho dnties of Secretary with especial pleasure . He considered tho office , the proudest in fcho Lodge , next to thafc of Master . Perhnp-i ho was overlooking the Treasurer , bnt that
was an honour of a f-o-rrpwhafc different char-act T . Qe trusted tho brethren would snppnrfc thp- ' r Treasurer , who would act aa a Ste-vard at the next Festival for the Boys' School , and that tho contributions he would take up would be worthy of the Kensington Lodge . Tho toasfc of the Officers was nexfc honoured , and was replied to by tha
respective brethren . After this came the Charities , for which the Worshipfnl Master said all true Masons were proud to do anything in their power . Bro . Norman replied , recounting what had been done on behalf of tbo widow of an old member . The Masons had come forward and helped her at a mosfc critical time , and the result
was thafc the house in which she resided had been secured for her , while a sufficiency had been saved to keep her and her child . This was a practical illustration of Masonic charity , and be trusted thafc while he con'd recount so satisfactory a result it would stimulate bis hearers to further acts of benevolence , and convince them th ifc tin
Charity professed by Freemasons was somuthing more than a mere iwme , The Tyler ' s toast was subsequently > -iven , and thi proceed , in ^ s brought to a conclusion . Some excellent songs were given during the evening by members nf the Lodgi and Visitors , and t . ha
benefit of having a practical Organist in the Lodge wag amply demonstrated . The result was , to onr thinki ig , much more enjoyable ( than if we had had to listen to tbe better—bufc at the satno lime much less homely—utterances of professionals .
