On tho removal of tho cloth , ancl aft ^ r tho usual Loyal and Masonic toasts had been honoured , Brother Elgey in a characteristic speech proposed the health of tho Worshipful Master , bearing testimony to

the great kindness and ability with which Brother Porritt had presided over the brethren during hia year of office . His retentive memory and pleasant delivery woro rare gifts , and enabled him to render the important parts of the ritual in such a manner that every visitor and brother conld enjoy each part of tho ceremony . Elected to fill the chair of K . S . by the unanimous vote of the brethren , Bro .

Porritt had ruled and governed his Lodge by tho unerring standard of impartiality ancl justice , in snch a mnnrer as to elicit the entire approval of the brethren ; he had adjusted grievances , consolidated the finances of the Lodge , and rallied ronnd him an enthusiastic staff of Officers . Whilst taking the greatest interest in the Lodge , he had never been unmindful of the great responsibilities of his office , and

had laboured during his year to promote that kindly feeling amongst the brethren so essential to its welfare and success . Tho W . M . responded in feeling terms , and reviewed his membership of the Sykes Lodge . Ho thanked Brother Elgey for the kind words he had said concerning him , and the brethren and officers for the cordial manner in which they had received tho toast of his health . His

connection with the brethren of the Craft had shown him an unlimited and unmitigated flow of friendship and pleasure , and he should never forget the kindness of tho brethren towards him . His was a labour of love , and it was indeed highly gratifying to find himself in hia present position . Other toasts followed , the evening being enlivened by numerous songs .

An admirable banquet was prepared at the Fleece Hotel , notoriously one of the t >~ ' * -, houses in England for wines ancl cookery , and the brethren c- j v I a very happy evening , interspersed with harmony .

GALLERY LODGE , No . 1928 . TOE installation meeting of this Ledge was held iu Brixton Hall , on the 13 th inst ., the Worshipful Master Bro . Thos . Minstrel ! presiding . Since the last meeting of tho brethren their Lodge room had undergone complete reconstruction , and of necessity therefora redecoration , and the proprietor has now a Masonio templo which is capable of meeting almost any reciu ' rements which tin exigences

' < of tho Craft or Eoyal Arch Masonry require . Tho alterations it is needless to say met with tho entire approbation of tlio brethren of the Gallery Lodge , and we believe also of the Brixton Lodge , who use the samo room . Certainly the Companions of iho newly consecrated Gallery Chapter had every reason to bo sntisfi -d with tho

. ' ' i i ' j accommodation thus provided them . Doubtless oth-r Lodges and Chapters will find in Brixton Hall a very comfoi table abiding place , particularly if tho proprietor carries out his inclination to pnvidu Chapter and Lodge furniture for tbo general use , charging of course a small V \> nt for the additional facilities which he is somewhat inclined to provide .
