first W . M . of tho Ivy Lodge , who carried out the remainder of tho Installation Ceremony with the groatost impressiveness , and , his knowledge of tho Ritual being perfect , the whole passed off in a manner rarely equalled . P . M . John Noke actod as Director of Ceremonies . Tho W . M . appointed the following brethron to assist in tho government of tho Lodgo for the coming year : —Bros . W .

Ashnr P . M . S . W ., R . Forstor J . W ., C . Stnart Jolly P . M . Sec , G . Mattock P . M . Treas ., G . Skegg S . D ., . 1 . Burgess J . D ., A . Vernon I . G ., A . Goodman D . of C . The report of tho auditors was read , discussion thereon being postponed uutil next meeting . Bofore closing his Lodgo the W . M . had the pleasing duty of presenting to the retiring Master a mark of the esteem of the brethren which

took tho form of a P . M . ' s jewel . In giving it ho felt sure ho could do so in return for real benefits conf errod on the Lodgo by Bro . L . Cornclisson , who had always been respected iu tho Lodge for his goodwill and hearty oo-operation in any measure bronght forward . Bro . Cornelisson thanked tho brethreu for thoir uniform kindness to him ; he had a great difficulty to contend with , being a foreigner ,

but tho indulgenco of the members had boeu such as to remove his uneasinoss on that score . The W . M . now closed tho Lodge , and tho brethren proceeded to tho Holborn Restaurant to banquet , thoir Hall afc Camborwell having been lofc for a Ball . This jouruey occasioned somo annoyance among tho mombors , bnt tho comforts of tho Restaurant in some measure compensated

them . The following were the Visitors to the Lodge : —Bro 3 . E . Farwig W . M . 180 , J . G . Rush 1201 , F . L . Yongo 1216 , H . D . Martin 1309 , W . W . Morgan jnn . 1335 , and L . Sarre 1402 . Bro . C . A . CottobruneP . G . P . was also presont , he beiug an honorary member of the Lodge , in recognition of his assistauco at tho consecration . Afc the conclusion of tho banqnefc , tho nsnal toasts wero given , Bro .

Cottebrune replying on behalf of the Grand Officers . Bro . Cornolisseu referred to tho Master as an enthusiastic MiSon . He did not know bnt they might go too far if they copied him literally ; but for all that ho was a most desirable brother to havo in the chair . They had better by far have too much energy than indifference ; of this latter ho felt Bro . K . Smith would nover be guilty . The W . M . expressod the great

pleasure he felfc in occupying the position he now did . A fow years since ho would have looked npon snch nn ovenfc as all bat impossible , now ifc was an accomplished fact . Ho was the first ; initiate cf the Ivy Lodge , and now had the honour of being its Master , a position to be sought after and prized by every true Mason . He considered visiting was one of tho most important )

points of Freemasonry ; by it brethren were enabled better to stndy the principles of the Order , and becomo better acquainted with its various details . Thoy had many Visitors present , all of whom he shonld be pleased to hoar reply , would timo permit ; Bro . Farwig tendered the thanks of tho Visitors for tho reception they hnd met with at tho Irv Lodge , and wiihod the M . isfer and his

Lodgo a successful future . The health of the Installing Ma-itor was next given . The toast was , tho W . M . said , ono of pariicular interest and pleasure to him . Bro . Smith had inkiited li ' m into Masoury , and now had installed him into the Ch-ur of tho Lodge . In the interim he had been a staunch friend . The Installing Master wis one of tho Founders of tho Lodgo , an . l on him had fallen

the choice of tho brethren when tho question of first Master was decided . Bro . Smith , in reply , assured tho brethren that nothing should bo wanting on his part to merit the high compliments that had boon passed on him . It was exceedingly gratifying to him to seo tho Ivy Lodge in so prosporons a state as ifc was afc tho present time . Their newly elected Master was in every way competent to

maintain the high position to which the Lodgo had attained . The toast of the Past Masters was now given . Tho Ivy Lodgo had had a •accession of good working Masons to preside over its destinies ; they had all dovotcd thoir energies to makin * the Lodge one of tho best in the Craft , and he thought their efforts had been eminently successful . Bros . Corneli 3 sen and Cantle replied , assuring tho

brethren of their hearty co-operation , and wishing the Lodge a prosporons career . Tho Treasnrer and Secretary were , tho W . M . said , two most ; important Officers ; their duties being continuous , not like that of other Officers lasting but for a short year , it was necessary they should bo brethren well capable of Faithfully performing their allotted tasks . IIo felt that the members would agree

wifch him that the two brethren who filled these offices in the Ivy Lodgo wore so qualified , and he felt certain thoy would mako good use of their abililios . Each of these brethren replied to the toast , after which that of the Officers was given , and responded to most heartily . The intervals between tho various toasts wero enlivened by somo capital songs given by mombers of the Lodge .

He had great pleasure in doing so , having been associated wifch him for many years . Ho trusted ho would perform the dnties of his offico in such a way as to morit as great approval as the membors conld bestow . Tho W . M . tendered his heartfelt ;

thanks to each of tho members of the Lodge for having placed him in his present proud position . He hoped to comout with each a greater friendship than at present existed , all wero now his friends , he hoped that at the expiration of his term of office thoy would bo brothers , in tho trno sonsa of tho word . He wa 3 obliged to tho visitors for their attondvico on what was'a groat uight with him ,

although perhaps an everyday occurence to thorn . Ho now ha . I the pleasnre to proposo the health of tho I . P . M ., but would first place on his breast tho magnificent Jewol which tho members hud so kindly voted to him . Their lato Maxtor was a m < ui of koon friendship , if he conld not bo de 3 cribod as a man of ploruanfc words , and ono that never forgot a kindness . During his term of offico uo word had boon

spoken in connection with tho Lodgo which noedod withdrawal , had snoh boon tho case ifc would have boon his greatest pleasure to heal tho wound , but happily ifc was otherwise . As regarded his working it was only necessary to say thab ha had fulfilled his duties in such a way as to cist groat bistro on the Stuart Lodge . Tho Jowel which was presented to our

brother was certainly ono of tho neatest wo havo soon and reflects great credit on Bro . Stoodman , who dosiguod it ; it boro tho following inscription : — "Presented by tho Stuart Lidgo , 1632 , to Bro . John Walmsley on the completion of his year of clfioo as W . M ., March 21 , 1879 . " Bro . Walmsley considered that a great deal more hail been said in his praise than ho dc 3 ervoJ . IIo had simply

done his duty . Ho had always looked forward to tho timo when ho might occupr tho chiiv of a Lodgo , aud now bo folt vory loth to vacate tho office as ovcu an I . P . M . folt somowhab a loss of power . The W . M . next had to propose a toast ho was 3 tiro would bo rocoivod with pleasure—both by mombors and visitors . Tho mombors of a Lodge should feel very proud to havo in thoir midst a , brother who

can perform the ceremony of installation as conld their Bro . Poore . Hi 3 working was admitted to bo of tho first order , not only by thoso present that evening , but by tho members of many othor Lodges who had the pleasuro of witnessing his renderiug of tho ceremony . It gavo the Lodgo a high position when it ranked among its members such brethren as he . Tho mombors of tho Stuart L-: dgo had uniuy

other kindnesses to thank him for , aud his efforts on their bjhiiif were so woll known that any remarks ho could mako would only b j re-echoing tho feelings of each of them . Bro . Poore tendered thanks for tho kind sonr . iments of the W . M ., anJ fur tho hearty reception that had been accorded them . It hal aflurd-l him great pluisuro to instal as ablo a Mister as Bro . Thorru-t . If whan h-ul aliYi , tdy

beou dono was to bo accepted as a guide for the fuuini tho Stnart Lodge conl . l bjast a g-nd Mister to preside over its dostinies . If hid " Poore" snrvices could bo of any il- > e to this or any Ouhur LoJgu , ho should at all times bo most happy to vrivo them . In giving the health of the Pa ^ o Masters the W . M . roi ' ei-i-o . l to thu fact of the Stuart bsin ^ a young Lodge , consequently they had not mauy

brethren to toast nnder this title . Tho two they had were such as would be a credit to any Louge . Bro . Walmsley replied . Tho W . M . next proposed tho toast of tho Visitors . Ho considered it a great pleasure to see so many present ; as they had that night . Bro . Burley and Perman responded to tho toa 3 t . The W . M . now proposed tho Officers of the Lodge . Although , ho sat in ease in giving this toast ,

his position would be a bed of thorn 3 were ho surrounded by inferior Officor 3 ; as it was , he know that ovory Officer of tho Lodge could , and would perform his duty most satisfactorily . Bro . S . W . stated that it wonld be tho aim of each Officer to work tho ceremonies and conduct tho affairs of the Lodge iu such a manner as to ensure success . Bro . J . W . would do everything in his power to further tho

interests of tho Lodge , and trusted he might give satisfaction . Bro . S . D . wonld always feel it his special duty to help all new monbors ; ho considered tho welcome accorded 'i brother on the first night of his appearance in a Lodge ono of tho most important matters to consider . Bro . J . D . trusted that the confidence reposed in hint wouid not bo iibnsed . Tho W . M . concluded his labours bv culling on tho

brothren to toast the press ; this heconsidcru I tho all-powerful tousb of every civilised nation .
