them to and from Manchester , and special carriages had also been engaged for the intervening distance between the cotton city and the rooms at Chorlton . Bro . T . A . Holland S . W .

On this occasion Lodge business was transacted in the dining room , the festival of St .

The preliminary business having been disposed of , which consisted of
the reading and confirmation of minutes , and a successful ballot for Bro . Jas . John Lambert P . M . Chorlton Lodge , No . 1387 , P . P . G .
