Butcher I . G ., W . J . Joues and H . Love Stewards , and A . G . Young Tyler . The W . M . next proceeded to initiate Mr . Sidney Switzer , and proved his capacity for filling the chair by the admirable manner in which he conducted the ceremony . This concluding the business , the Lodge was closed in perfect harmony , and the brethren adjourned to the banqueting room , where dinner was served by Bro . A . C . Smith .

At the termination of the meal the usual Loyal and Masonio toasts were cordially received . Bro . Lennox Browne , in responding for the Provincial Grand Officers , expressed the pleasure he felt at the satisfactory progress of the Lodge . Nobody was more surprised than himself when the Lodge was named after him ; it was fche highest compliment that could be paid to him , and he valued the distinction

very greatly . He would always endeavour to look after its interests , and was much gratified thafc fche Prov . Grand Master had offered Provincial honour to the newly elected Master . Broa . Westfield and Jarvis also acknowledged the toast . The I . P . M . then proposed the health of the W . M ., and said that he congratulated the Lodge on having such a Master , as he was highly proficient in the Ritual and

an ardent worker for the cause . The work of starting the Lodge had fallen upon him , and the success that had attended his efforts was the best compliment that conld be paid to him . He was also the instigator of the United Charities Association for Essex , and as Steward for the Lennox Browne Lodge he had taken np last year the good sum of 120 guineas . The W . M . in reply said that while thanking

Bro . Jackson for his eulogistic remarks he might say that he had done nothing more than was his bounden duty as a Mason , and so long as the Great Architect preserved him he should devote himself to the interests of the Craft . Nothing in life succeeds without difficulties , and the more obstacles he encountered the greater was his determination in overcoming them . He considered the first duty of

a Mason was to look after the great and glorious Charities in connection with tho Craft , and he hoped in this direction he would be well supported . As Master of the Lodge he would endeavour to do his duty faithfully , zealously and impartially , and trusted his Officers would assist him to confer greater honour upon the Lodge . Brother Sidney Switzer suitably replied to the toast of the Initiate , and

assured the brethren thafc the impressive ceremony and its lessons would ever be remembered by him . The W . M . in proposing the Installing Master said it was not necessary thafc the retiring W . M . should instal his successor , but it should be so . In Bro . Jackson they had a Master who excelled in the Ritual , and who had justly been rewarded by the Prov . Grand Master on account of his services

to the Craft . In spite of tho pressing engagements in connection with his profession he was always present at his duties in the Lodge . He then proceeded to decorate Bro . Jackson with the I . P . M . ' s jewel , and a similar honour was conferred upon Bro . Lennox Browne , who had been appointed acting I . P . M . of the Lodge at its foundation . These two gentlemen having duly returned thanks for the honour ,

the W . M . interpolated the toast of the Masonic Charities . Bro . J . M . McLeod , the recently elected Secretary of tho Boys' School , responded , and said he was much pleased to visit the Lodge , and he hoped to be able to visit several Lodges before their next Festival , to appeal for funds , as they were in great straits , and were really in a worse position than they were two years ago . There were 260 boys

receiving a good education , and the hew head master was working exceedingly well , bnt there were several necessary alterations required which entailed unavoidable expenditure . £ 3500 had been authorised by the Committee to be spent , but if they did not havo the money the requisite work could not be done . Every possible economy was exercised , but they would require fully £ 25 , 000 for their next Festival .

Bro . J . Mason , Collector for the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution , said that he hoped the " old people " would not bo forgotten , as they required £ 15 , 000 per annum for annuities alone , and they were now quite unable to tako in another candidate . The Visitors and the Officers were duly complimented , and tbo Tyler ' s toast brought an agreeable evening to a pleasant termination .

Camden Lodge of Instruction , Ho . 704 . —Meeting held at the Lewisham Masonio Rooms , adjoining the White Hard Hotel , llti High Streot , Lewisham , Thursday , 11 th inst ., at 8 . Many of the members being on holiday , pleasure intent , the attendance was not so largo as is customary in this Lodge . Work was , however , carried on in the second degree , Bro . J . La Feuillade presiding as W . M . in the absence of Bro . C . G . Shoppard , and supported by

Bros . Walter Robin S . W ., S . Lancaster P . M . J . W ., James Stevens P . M . Preceptor , Charles S . D ., Thomas J . D ., S . C Bedford I . G . The ceremony in F . C . was rehearsed , and part of the lecture in thafc degree was worked by the brethren . Bro . Robin was elected VV . M . for the ensuing week , and on the 25 th Bro . Stevens will preside . A vote of thanks was passed in favour of Bro . La Feuillade for hia working on this occasion , and then Lodge was closed .

The Daily Telegraph says : It has already been amply demonstrated that there was an understanding between the Boulangists aud tho Royalists , nor ia any further evidence necessary . The Freemasons ¦ iro now up in arms , and at a meeting of leading members of tho Craft a resolution was adopted almost unanimously that the Council

of the Order should be invited to take steps with a view to tho expulsion of the brethren who had oo-operatod in tho direction of tho iJoulangist movement , and especially of M . Langnerre and his parliamentary friends . In abort , the Boulaugist liquidation is accompanied by a good mauy episodes which were scarcely foreseen when the first instalment of the Coulisses appeared .
