Installation Meetings, &C.

the summer vacation . The Secretary said lie acknowledged the letter at the time , expressing on behalf of the brethren sympathy with the familr of deceased , and also the loss which the Lodge had sustained . The W . M . feelingly alluded to the services rendered by tho deceased brother , and in the name of tho brethren thanked the Secretary for promptly answering the letter conveying the intelligence , which they

all reproHed . A petition was submitted for presentation to the Board of General Purposes , on behalf of a distressed member of the Lodge , and this was signed by the Worshipful Master and Officers , who promised to support tho recommendation at the meeting of tho Board on Wednesday . Some other business havinc been transacted , the brethren dined together in

the Coffee Boom of tho Hotel . At the conclusion of the repast , the Worshipfnl Master informed the junior brethren and the Visitors that on certain occasions it had been his cnstom to dispense with the usual practice of giving the three Loyal and Craft toasts separately , and he might mention that ho had authority from Grand Lodge for proposing them in the form he should put before the company

this evening . They would therefore consider these three toasts all rolled into ono . Ho know they had loyal feelings towards both the Crown and tho Craft ; therefore , without further preface , he would propose Loyalty to tho Throne and devotion to tho best interests of our Order . The W . M ., in proposing the health of the Visitors , said it was customary in most Lodges to say it was usual to extend

a hearty welcome to all who came amongst them ; and ifc would be very strange to him if they did not . Those who honoured the Tranquillity Lodge onco , they were glad to see again . Ho hoped , thereforo , they wonld take a short expression of gratitude for their company this evening instead of a long speech as to what this Lodge would , or could , do in respect of the Visitors . He assured them how

pleased they were to see so many present this evening . Bro . Joseph . W . Hobbs P . M . 749 was exceedingly obliged to the W . M . for having proposed the last toasfc in so cordial a manner , and also thanked the brethren for the heartiness with which they had received ifc . Their W . M . had set them an excellent example of brevity , which was " the soul of wit , " and it would be unbecoming in him if he detained fche

harmony of the meeting by inflicting upon them a lengthy speech . Whenever he had visited this Lodge he had always met with the warmest fraternal welcome , and he could assure them ib was with the greatest possible pleasure thafc he came amongst them . He had been exceedingly pleased with the manner in which Bro . Bayley had performed the ceremonies of the evening ; he was an Officer of

whom the brethren of the Lodgo might justly feel proud . When he was S . W ., he ( the speaker ) prophesied thafc if ever he was installed into the chair of Kinjr Solomon , he would fulfil the honourable position with credit to himself and with satisfaction—as he was sure he would do—to every member of the Lodge . Bro . H . Higgins P . M . 421 remarked that he had had the happiness of once before

visiting this Lodge , when Bro . Bayley occupied the position of S . W ., and on that occasion he experienced the utmost kindness from all the brethren with whom he enme in contact . He felt sure that if they visited this Lodge as often as they could possibly wish , they would always be received with the same unbounded hospitality as had ever been extended towards them , and which was one of the

flistinguishing characteristics of the Lodge . Bro . John Eexworth y had had the pleasure of visiting this Lodge on several previous occasions , ancl had often said , in noticing the brilliant manner in which the Past Masters performed their duties , that if ever Bro . Bayley succeeded to tho highest dignity the Lodge conld confer upon him , ho wonld emulate their excellent example , and shed additional lustre

upon the office to which he had been elected . This expectation had already been abundantly realised . Bro . M . Coleman also returned thanks , and said if anything exceeded the excellent working of tho Lodge , it was its lavish hospitality . The Immediate Past Master , in proposing the health of the Worshipfnl Master , said there was a great amount of modesty , because there had been considerable

discussion afc that end of the table as to the priority of tho tsasfcs . Some thought the W . M . 's health shonld have been proposed before that of the Visitors , bnt tho Master ruled otherwise . He ( the speaker ) did not know what was the order of Masonic courtesy ; but they had had it according to the ruling of the W . M ., right or wrong . They were prepared to abide by that ruling , because they had alwavs

found him so right and just in his decisions thafc they were nofc disposed to discuss anything beyond that . They were pleased , in resuming their duties after the recess , to find the Master ia such good health as he appeared to be , and they were also pleased to find thafc he was able to go through his duties in the Lodge with such efficiency after a vacation of so many months . If he only performed them as

well during the remainder of his term—and there need be no apprehension on thafc score—they should all be loud in their applause . The W . M ., iu acknowledging the compliment ; paid him , said , although it was now the third or fourth time his health had been proposed in the Lodge , the reiteration did nofc dull his appreciation of the honour conferred upon him . His aim had been always for the

furtherance of the interests of the Lodge , and he trusted it wonld always continue to be so . Their recognition of his efforts affected him more than he could express , and if they conld exhibit tho same kindly sentiments towards him at the expiration of his term of office , he should leave the chair with the consciousness that he had done his duty . He conld only say , from his heart , that he thanked them very

much for this renewal of their kindly expressions towards him . The W . M . then cave the health of the P . M . ' s , and said it was the gratitude ho felt to them for their services that prompted him to ask the company to join with him in drinking to the toast with all the heartiness it dpswved . Bro . R . 71 . Bloomfield P . M . said there wero many pVnsant reflections tint went to make up the sum of life , but ono

of tho most ngrccnblo was when he proposed the health of tho P . M . 's , and eulogised their various efforts and the manner in which they had assisted him . So far as ho wns concerned , ho was beginning to become tho senior P . M . of this Lodge , but although ho had had the honour of being for many years a Past Master , ho had never had the opportunity of rendering the assistance ho had acknowledged—simply
