"" " x > rocner T . Jiiustace Smith was raised to the snblime degree ot Master Mason , the ceremony being ably performed by the W . M . and h > s Officers . Upon the Lodge being resumed to the first degree , the VVorsbi pfnl Master proposed Dr . Francis Ferratin Glanville as an initiate , and gave notice that the candidate would be ballotted for , and , " approved , initiated at the next meeting . The Worshipful Master then addressed the brethren , saying it was his painful dnty to announce that since the last meeting , a dear and most esteemed

"rotner had been summoned from amongst them . Brother Alfred Greenland jnn ., after a comparatively short illness , and at the early age of 26 , had joined those who had gone before , and who constituted the Grand Lodge above . To him ( the W . M . ) their departed brother was not only a brother in Masonry , bnt a bosom friend and old schoolmate , so that the brethren could judge for themselves how impossible jt waa to express tbe deep grief with -which he made this

sad announcement . Broth er Greenland had , during his short sojourn amongst them , shewn himself a zealous and efficient worker , he had filled the post of loner Guard with credit , and had it pleased the Great Architect of the Universe to spare him , he would doubtless have continued a bright ornament to the Craft and to the society in which he moved . He had left behind him , not only brother Masons ,

bnt sorrowing parents and relations who mourned the irreparable loss of a dutiful son and an affectionate brother . By them some mark of the appreciation in which he was held by the members of the Lodge would be regarded as a graceful tribute of respect . The W . M . concluded by proposing that the Secretary should be requested to write to the father of their late brother , expressing the deep grief of

the members of the Grove Lodge at the sad news of hia son ' s death , and offering their sympathy and condolence . This was duly seconded by Brother Thurston , and carried unanimously . Lodge was then closed , and the meeting adjourned until 19 th pros . The brethren subsequently partook of a banquet in the Hotel , which was served in Brother Bond ' s best style , and gave the utmost satisfaction to all preseut .

The charge of the first degree was delivered by the I . P . M . Bro . Mount ,

with his usual correctness and precision . At the conclusion of the ceremonies the W . M . read a mosb interesting account of the introduction of Freemasonry into Reading in the year 1783 , and of ita revival in 1833 , by tbe warrant of the Lodge of Union . Since which time there had been a gradual progress of numbers aud influence , till two full blown Lodges have appeared , both now in tbe full tide of

prosperity .

After the customary ceremonies Lodge was closed accord , ing to ancient form , and the brethren adjourned for refreshment to the Great Western Hotel , where an excellent supper was provided

by Bro . Flanagan , whose catering invariably gives unqualified satis . faction . Between sixty and seventy Craftsmen sat down ; the usual Loyal and Masonic toasts were given , and responded to . That of the Initiates met with a cordial reception , and was appropriately responded to by the Brothers Simonds . Bro . R . Dowsett proposed , in a feeling speech , the health of the W . M ., who suitably returned thanks , and alluded to the loss of two members of the Grey Friars

Lodge , one of whom left a widow and three children in destitute circumstances . He thought this a good opportunity to pass tha broken column round for their relief . This resulted in the sum of five pounds being contributed , which sum was at once forwarded to the widow . During the evening some excellent singing was contributed by the brethren , particularly we may mention the song by Bro . W . G . Millar , who gave " Tom Bowling " in a masterly style . After spend , ing a very pleasant evening the brethren separated . at an early hour ,.
