— : o : — CARADOC LODGE , 1674 .

day , 4 th insfc ., tho Caradoc Lodge , No . 1674 , of the nt , Free and Accepted Masons , celebrated their Festival in the Masonic Hall , Sussex-street . Hitherto the Lodge ve been held in the Town Hall j but owing to certain ins existing there , the brethren arranged to have a suite of illy fitted up for them , in Bank Buildings , at the corner

let . The new rooms occupy the whole length of the upper ssex-sfcreefc , and consist of two ante-rooms leading to the . The building having only jnsfc been erected , the decolot yet complete , still the present state of the Hall , and the pleasing appearance of the Lodge room , with its irnitnre , seemed to give great satisfaction to all present ,

ud in their praises of the advantages gained by removal , r three o'clock the Locige was opened in due form by Bro , : es W . M . Amongst those present were—Bros . J . Salmon Vales and Cheshire , Mathews P . G . S . B . Ghoshim , Taverner rbysbire , Cameron P . G . S . W . M . 384 , Smith P . G . S . VV . M .

s P G . S . W . M ., Roebuck P . M . 387 , Davies W . M . 725 , 1336 , Jarves I . P . M . 384 , Davies S . W . 1336 , Lloyd S . W . W . 721 , Foulkes J . D . 606 , W . Davies ( Coroner ) 721 , Rev . 3 S , Lewis , J . Lean , Clewes , Pratt , R . Hughes , Jones , & c . ; sine 33 was the installation of tho W . M . for tho ensuing

Stallation Meetings, &C.

year . Bro . McEwen had been chosen unanimously out of the lisfc of qualified members . The ceremony of installation was impressivel y performed by Bro . Foulkes , who was complimented by tho members for fcho efficient manner ho had performed this important ceremony . Tho newly-installed W . M . then thanked the brethren for tho , honour conferred npon him , and proceeded to invest his Officers , as follow : —

Bros . W . IT . Foulkes I . P . M ., T . Coxhead S . W ., E . W . Keatinge J . W ., W . L . Nicholas Chap ., W . T . Girdlostone Treas ., J . B . Linnell Sec , W . Hackforth S . D ., ' H . A . Steer J . D ., E . Groncntt D . C , F . Wrigley P . G . O . Organist , G . D . Bnrdett I . G ., H . B . Lawrence S ., J . Bayliss Tyler . On behalf of the brethren of the Lodgo tho W . M . presented Bro . Foulkes with a handsome P . M . jewel , accompaning it with a few

remarks on the merits of Bro . Foulkes , and tho estimation in which he was hold by the brethren . Bro . Foulkes said this was quite unexpected , he had not been apprized of their intention . He was , under the circumstances , unable to give full expression to his feelings in the ivay ho could wish ; and must content himself with thanking tho brethren for their kindness . The tables wero laid in the lai'gest room

within this spacious hotel ; and they wore handsomely set out . Bro . McEwen W . M . presided , supported on his right by the Provincial Grand Officers , and on the left by tho I . P . M ., P . M ., Chaplain , & c . The Wardens sat at the head of their respective tables , in tho usual manner , reflecting great praise upon Mrs . Haudcock , tho successful and experienced manageress of tho Westminster . The AV . M ., who was

received with applause , referred to tho strict loyalty of all Masons to the reigning Sovereign of the day ; and spoke of tho great personal claims of the Lady who now wears the crown ; ho proposed long life , happiness , and prosperity to tho Queen . This toast and several others were drunk with musical honours . The W . M . next proposed " H . R . H the Prince of Wales , Most Worshipful Grand Master ; tbe Princess of

Wales , and tho rest of the Royal Family . In the course of his re . marks , ho referred to the Prince of Wales as the head of English Freemasonry , and spoke of the way H . R . H . was said fco discharge his onerous duties , and to the great interest he evinced in the success of Masonry . He also made allusion to the recent visit of the Prince to Llandudno Junction , and to the manner he discharged the duty

undertaken by him ; the admiration with which he was looked upon , and the warmth of H . R . H . 's reception . The W . Master next proposed "The Right Hon . the Earl of Carnarvon Pro Grand Master , and the Pasfc and Present Officers of the Grand Lodge . " In the course of his observations he said that he was necessarily unacquainted with the duties performed in Grand Lodge ; he could well

suppose , from what he himself was expected to do in their Lodge , that the duties of the higher offices were somewhat arduous . Bro . Coxhead S . W . had great pleasure in giving ihe next toast on the lisfc" Sir Watkin Williams Wynn R . W . P . G . M ., the Deputy P . G . M ., and the rest of the Provincial Grand Officers , past and present . " They had already duly honoured the toasfc of the Ruler of the Order , the

Prince of Wales , and he would now ask them , in the same manner , to receive the name of their Provincial Ruler— "The Prince in Wales . " He referred in very feeling terms to the distressing sorrow which had overtaken Sir Watkin in the untimely death of his heir apparent . He thought ifc a remarkable coincidence that two high in office , the Sen . P G . M . of England ( Sir Watkin , ) and the Jan . P . G . M . Durham

( the Marquess of Londonderry ) shonld both be connected with Wales ; that they should be brother officers in the army , and subsequently in the Yeomanry—and further that the accident on the Thames , and the one afc the Seaham Harbour Pit , occurring almost together , should have rendered this an unhappy time to both of these kind-hearted Masons : He hoped that , although he had expressed a wish to retire ,

Sir Watkin ' s place would nofc be vacated daring his life—as thafc , as he lived in their hearts , he was sure Sir Watkin would never die in their hearts . Ho was glad to see three Grand Officers present , and he wonld couple fcheir names with this toasfc . Bro . Cameron , in responding , alluded to the position of the Caradoc Locige , and gave ifc as his opinion that ifc was ono of the best in the Province . Bro . Smith

P . G . S . W . M . ( Mayor of Wrexham ) remarked that tho Grand Officers paid as many visits as possible to the various Lodges in the Province , and he felt much pleasure in being afc the Caradoc Lodge thafc day . Ifc was not the first visit he had paid them ; and each succeeding one raised the Caradoc in his estimation ; than which helthought no Lodge had achieved greater progress . He complimented the members on

the choice of their Worshipful Master , past and present . Bro . Morris Past Grand Secretary followed in eulogising the Lodge , its efficient management and general progress . He spoke , as a Grand Officer , of the ardent interest Sir Watkin took in the Lodges of his Province , and proved his statement by facta nofc known to many of those present . He also referred fco the presence

afc the banquet of three out of six Grand Stewards , as a good omen . Bro . Wrigley , who has recently been appointed P . G . Org ., expressed his des re to do everything to the best of his ability—whatever was worth doing at all , was worth doing well ; and as he had kepfc this in view from his first appointment , so he would continue to do ro in his new office . Bro . Salmon P . M ., in responding' , as one of the Grand Officers ,

congratulated the brethren on the number of Provincial Officers present ; and pointer ! out the duty of loyalty to fcho Order in the ready acceptance of any office to which the P . G . M . appointed them ; giving his reasons why this should bo the invariable rule . He then proposed what might be considered the toasfc of the evening , viz ., The " W . M . " In Ihe course of his observations he complimented Bro . McEwen on

his proficiency ; nnd referred to the I . P . M . ( Bro . Foulkes ) as having discharged the duties of his office in the post year iu an admirable manner ; both officers being brethren whose mantle it was hoped might fall on their successors . He also referred to the closing of the Lodge that afternoon by their W . M . as something seldom done so well ; which circumstance augured favourably for the Caradoc Lodge in the

coming year . The W . M . said ho naturally felt much gratified in being selected for the post which he then occupied . Bro . Salmon's cloak had fallen to Bro . Foulkes , and he only hoped that the cloak of Bro . Foulkes had fallen upon him . Having referred to the talents of Bro . Salmon , which were sufficient for anything , he said thafc bo would endeavour to discharge the duties of the chair according to the
