Installation Meetings, &C.

thanks for the cordial reception with which you have honoured me . I am especially indebted to my friends Drs . Jagielski and Jackson for having proposed me to this noble society , and to you , Worshipfnl Master , for the trouble you have taken in bringing me through the first stage . If you would ask me what induced me to wish to become a Freemason , I should feel some embarrassment and difficulty in

giving an exact reply . If , however , you will be satisfied with the reply I give to my own mind , in putting the same question to myself , it is this—I have known many most earnest and most honourable men to be Freemasons ; men who act up to their principles with enthusiasm ; hence my desire to follow their example . The object of Freemasonry is , as I believe , the enlightenment of the mind , the

ennoblement of the heart , the care for each other's welfare , as also for that of mankind at large . As far as such is within the power of an individual or a society , and as first impressions are generally allowed to be true , and seldom disappoint , I feel that the impression which I have received to-night in this venerable Society goes far to re-assure me that my anticipations and hopes will not onlv be crowned with

realisation , but even be far surpassed . It has created within me a desire to fulfil my duties , whatever my share may be , to the best of my ability , and in thanking you again for the great kindness with which yon have received me into your midst , I now raise my glass to the " vivat floroat crescat "—the Polish National Lodge . Storming applause followed this able address , and then a German tenor song ,

by Dr . Jagielski . "Die Letze Somraer Rose . " The health of the Visitors formed the next feature of interest . The toasfc included the names of Broa . James Perkins P . M . Mornington 1672 , Robert H . Goffin S . W . Carnarvon 1572 , J . A . Farlow J . D . Old Kings Arras 28 , R . Kelsey Strong Man 15 , Henry Enson Royal Albert No . 907 , Rev . John Graham Sincerity 1019 ; it was responded to by Bro .

Perkins , who expressed his admiration at the working of the Polish National Lodge , and especially alluded to the able manner in whioh the W . M . had performed the arduous duty of working the ceremonies of the three degrees . Bro . Graham next responded ; he spoke in admiration of the hospitality , speeches , and harmony of the brethren , and expressed his approval of the able manner in which fche real principles of Freemasonry were upheld . Bro . Saegert P . M . Wellington

Lodge also dwelt in terms of praise on the working of the W . M . He also alluded most especially to the elegant speech of the Initiate . After excellent harmony by Bros . Runtz and Gordon , the toast of the P . M . ' s was cheerfully greeted ; this included the names of Bros . Lancaster , Nowakowski , Paas , Jagielski , and Jackson , who responded . After this tbe toast of the Officers and that oi the Tyler brought a most pleasant evening to a close .
