ST . MICHAEL ' S LODGE , No . 211 . IT had been thought thafc the emergency meeting a month ago , finished the work of this ancient Lodge , so far as tho present Session was concerned j but , inasmuch aa a candidate for initiation had been prevented by his professional engagements from being present on two prior occasions , and was most desirous of entering the
" preliminary stage , " ifc was deemed advisable to call yet another meeting , particularly as there was other work that required to be dealt with . The attendance was not large , but that was no matter of surprise at this season of the year , when most of our Lodges are in abeyance , bufc the Worshipful Master , Bro . F . T . Bennett , was
supported by Broa . W . Radoliffe P . M . Secretary , A . Green P . M . Treasurer , F . J . Hentsch P . M ., Usher Bach P . M ., W . W . Morgan P . M ., A . Withers P . M ., Orlton Cooper , J . T . Harrison , J . Withers , Orlando Harley , F . J . Horsoroft , C . Greenwood , and others . The visitors included Bros . C . Everett , J . A . Collings , Titherden , Herbert
Schartau , & c , & c . Lodge having been opened , and the preliminary business disposed of , it was advanced to the second degree , and Bro . Joseph Withers , who has already made himself popular among the Brethren , was passed . The ballot was then opened for Mr . John Thomas Harrison ,
who had been nominated by Bro . Horsoroft , seconded by Bro . W . Radoliffe P . M ., and the voting being nuanimously in his favour , the candidate was duly initiated in the mysteries and privileges of Freemasonry . Lodge was then opened in the third , and Bro . Orlando Harley raised , the whole of the ceremonies , particularly the last
named , being rendered in the most able and impressive manner by the Worshipful Master and the Officers who assisted him . Notwithstanding the amount of work to be got through on such an oppressive evening , Bro . Bennett gave the charge in the first degree with his usual clearness and expression , which was mnch appreciated by the
Brethren . At the close of the business the customary good wishes were interchanged , and the Brethren afterwards partook of supper , which was supplied in the "Albion style . " The Loyal and Masonic toasts were honoured , and brief complimentary speeches were the orderof the evening , interspersed by a more than ordinarily excellent
selection of music . Bros . Horsoroft and Collings are both known as efficient aides at meetings of tho St . Michael ' s Lodge , but on this occasion their masterly performances on the pianoforte woro supplimented by the brill . iant efforts of Bro . Harrison , who consequently came in for more than an Initiate ' s usual share of honours . Besides
these , Bro . Herbert Schartau put in an appearance later in the even , ing , and played and sang several pieces . Bro . A . Green , P . M . Treasurer , sang the E . A . song , and altogether there was a most agreeable preponderence of music over speaking . The summer festival of the Lodgo was held on the following day ,
at the Crown Hotel , Brnxbourno Bridge , Hertfordshire , when the Brethren were favoured with brilliant weather , escaping the heavy thunderstorms that broke over London on that afternoon . Tho party assembled at Liverpool Street Station , about a quarter to eleven o ' clock , and arrived at Broxbourne after a very pleasant journey
There luncheon was provided , and the company enjoyed boating , driving , and rambling over the surrounding country , reassembling at six o'clock for the banquet , which was admirably served . Tho Worshipful Master presided , supported in the vice-chair by Bro . W . W . Morgan P . M ., and fche toasts were brief and imbued with fche utmost
cordiality . An interesting feature of the day was that the choir of Sfc . Nicholas , Cole Abbey , were enjoying their summer outing on the same day ; aud with the interchange of amenities usual on such occasions , they sang one or two selections , by kind permission of the Vicar , tbe Rev . Canon . Shuttleworfch , who accompanied them . It is
scarcely necessary to remind our City readers that this is one of the finest choirs in the metropolis , and their * readiness to add to the enjoyment of the Masonic partv was much appreciated . Mr .
Churchwarden T . C . Cross also extended the right hand of fellowship to the ladies and gentlemen of the Masonic company , his hospitality being duly reciprocated , and the day was thus pervaded with the utmost harmony and good feeling in every possible way .
