Past Masters Bros . H . C . Rich and E . C .

Phillips . Business—iho Lodgo having been opened in due form , and with solemn prayer , tho minutes of the last meeting wero read and confirmed . A letter having been read from the Proy . Grand Secretary , in respect to the Indian Famine Fund , it waa resolved , as tho fund had been officially closed , not to do anything in tho matter . Upon tho motion of Bros . P . M . Canlfeild and S . W . Phipps , the popular

and esteemed W . M . was re-elected for tho ensuing year , and Bro . David Evans was elected Treasurer for tho samo period . Tho Tyler having resigned , any action in tho matter was postponed to tho next mooting . The Lodge having been closed in ancient ; form , aud with perfect harmony , tho brethren adjourned from labour to refreshment , during which a

pleasing incident occurred , that of presenting a valuable Past Master ' s jewel to Bro . Hans St . Georgo Caalfeild , as a mark of the esteem iu which ho is held by tho members of tho Lodge , and as a token of their respect on his leaving the town . Bro . E . C . Phillips , having beon requested by the W . M . of tho Lodge to present the jewel , said that he rose in obedience to the command , but beforo making

tho formal presentation ho would oiler a few remarks . Ho said that ho felt somo difficulty iu speaking on that occasion , seeing that Bro . Canlfeild was an old friend , and an esteemed Masonic brother . Bro . Canlfeild had proved an oxcellent Mason , as a private member of the Lodge , as a Master of tho Lodgo , and as a Past Master of tho Lodge , and in thus presenting the jewel of tho Lodgo he fclb proud

in so testifying to tho respect and esteem in which Bro . Canlfeild was held among them . Having had to carry out tho wishes of the Lodgo , he was much gratified when ho thought of the way in which the members generally had responded to his call . The work had been a labour of love to him , and from tho cordial and sympathetic manner in which the members had assisted him , it seemed that it had also

been a labour of lovo to them . Turning to Bro . Canlfeild , tho speaker added : I have now the greatest pleasure , Bro . Canlfeild , on behalf of tho Worshipful Master , the Past Masters , and brethren of this Lodge , in presenting you with this jewel , and beg that on all possible occasions you will wear it on your breast as indicative of tho honour and esteem in which we hold you . Bro . Phillips then referred

to the motto at tho close of the inscription , and concluded by saying that as the motto was made applicahle in the Roman arena of old , so it could be made applicable on that occasion , and that as Bro . Canlfeild had deserved and earned the palm , so might he live long to wear ifc . Bro . Canlfeild , in responding , said that he certainly rose with very strong and deep feelings to return his most sincere and hearty thanks

for tho honour which had been paid to him . He did not know how to express himself , seeing that he was not in the habit of much speaking , but even if he had been he should not have been able on that occasion to have found the words to express himself as he should like to have done . In the first place , he must thank his good friend Bro . Phillips for his flattering remarks , and ho must then thank those

present for the kind way in which they had received them . If at any timo he had not performed his duties as he should have done , ifc was not from any want of willingness on his part , and for what ho had done it was quite unnecessary that they should have presented him with such a handsome present to enable them to testify to him any respect or esteem they might feel for him , for when ho looked

around and saw tho large number of brethren present who had assembled to do him honour , ho was more than proud to think that they had done so , and that each of them had been a good and kind friend to him , both outsido and inside the Lodge ; very many of them had been much kinder to him than he had ever deserved . They

might rest assured that wherever he might be , aud that as long as he should live , their kindness would be an incentive to him to continue his connection with the Brecknock Lodge , and that should his recollections ever flag , the sight of their handsome gift would bo sufficient to recall them , and to remind him of their kindness , nob only on that but upon many other occasions . The jewel is thua inscribed : —

To Bro . HANS ST . GEORGE CAULFEILD P . M ., P . P . G . S . W ., with the fraternal regards of the brethren . September 1877 . " Palman qui meruit ferafc . " A most enjoyable evening was spent b y a large number of the brethren .
