Lodge of Hope , No . 433 . —The annual Festival of St . John the Baptist was celebrated at Brightlingsea , Essex , on Monday last , by the brethren of Lodgo of Hope , No . 433 , when there was a full attendance of members and visitors . The only bnsiness upon the agenda was tho installation of tho W . M . elect ; but , previous to the retiring W . M . quitting the chair , a ceremony of an equally

iuteresting character took place . The Vicar of the Parish , who sat in the chair of J . W ., stepped forward , and , in the name of the members , begged the retiring W . M ., Bro . Clarey , to accept a handsome P . M . ' s jewel and a beautifully illuminated vellum , as a small token of tbe esteem in which he was held by them all . In the course of a few pertinent lcmarks , Bro . the Rev . A . Pert wee alluded to the kindly

and efficient way in which Bro . Clarey bad carried out the duties of the chair , and laid special stress npon the fact that , for the twentyfourth time he had been elected to the post of Treasurer to the Lodj ; e . That , in itself , clearly showed the respect in which ho wa 9 held , but the brethren had determined that they would give some more tangible proof of this than mere words , and he therefore

begged to place the jewel npon Bro . Clarey ' s breast , with the hope that he mi ^ ht live many years to wear it . ( Applause ) . Bro . Clarey , in responding , said this presentation had come upon him so by surprise—ho had not the remotest idea of it when he entered that room—and tho expressions that had been made use of by Bro . Pertwee wore so kindly , that he felt quite overpowered . He need

hardly assure them , however , that he should value their gift most highly , not merely for its intrinsic worth , but for the fee . ings of good fellowship which had prompted it . He thanked them all from the bottom of his heart . The inscription on the jewel was as follows : — "Presented to Bro . Wm . Clarey , P . M ., by the members of the Lodge of Hope , No . 433 . Jnne 1877 . " The illuminated address was

as follows : — " Presented to Bro . Wm . Clarey , P . M ., by the brethren of tho Lodge cf Hope , No . 433 , Brightlingsea , a P . M . Jewel , as a small token of their esteem and regard , and of their appreciation of his valuable services as Treasurer of tbe Lodge for tho past twenty-three years . Festival of St . John , June 1877 . " The illuminated address , which was to a similar effect , was the work

of the W . M . elect , and was greatly admired , a special vote of thanks Icing passed to him for executing the same . Bro . A . E . Rogers , the W . M . elect , was then duly installed W .
