CLEVELAND BALL AND ROLLER BEARINGS Are a combination of balls and rollers so constructed to answer both purposes of ball retainer and separator . Its greatest advantage is less friction , and will , run io per cent , easier than the ordinary ball bearing . The rollers permit of balls rolling in same direction , whereas in regular bearing the balls roll towards each other , and cause extra friction . By actual coasting test , also running it at high rate of speed in factory , it has been found superior in every way to the ordinary bearings . It is noiseless and does away with dropping of balls .

Upon their termination the Audit Committee presented their report , tho accounts showing an enviable state of affairs , with a substantial balance in favour of the Lodge .

Bro . George Masters I . P . M . was elected as Charity Steward for the ensuing year , upon the proposition of Bro . Prank Hitchens , which was seconded by Bro . A .

Bro . Solomon , when rising to propose the health of the Queen , was greeted with long continued applause , thereby proving his popularity with the Brethren . He drew attention to the excellent musical programme prepared for their delectation , and hoped the speeches would emulate the soul of wit . Due respect having been paid to the usual Loyal toasts , Bro . Alfred Spencer replied for the Officers of Grand Lodge , and said that no people better appreciated the Masonic qualities of Earl Amherst than the Brethren of Kent . His great interest in Freemasonry certainly entitled him to his present position in the Craft , and he hoped he might long live to rule over them .

This kindly sentiment was repeated by Bro . Beamish in proposing the health of the Provincial Grand Master , who had been their chief for nearly thirty years . Bro . Joseph Solomon responded for the Provincial Grand Officers . Bro . Masters proposed the health of the Worshipful Master . He made a

humorous allusion to the fact that last year they had Masters as the Master of the Lodge , and now they had a Solomon in the chair of King Solomon . Their present W . M . was a good and ardent Mason , one who also showed great earnestness in the Craft . He had filled every Office in the Lodge , so he was sure to make a good Master , and maintain the prestige of the Lodge of Freedom .

Bro . Solomon , in reply , said that as he was not a good speaker he found it somewhat difficult to propose the toasts of others , but he found it still more difficult to reply to the kind words that had fallen from his predecessor . This was one of the happiest days of his life , as he had now attained the chair , after having filled the various offices . He had endeavoured to qualify himself for the high position to which they had elected him , and they might be assured that he would do his duty , so that at that time twelve months hence tbey might say he deserved their commendation .
