INSTALLATION MEETINGS , & c .
: o : DORIC LODGE , No . 81 .
THE annual meeting of this Lodgo was held at AYoodbridge , on Tuesday , 27 th inst ., on which occasion Bro . \ V . P . Phillips was installer ! into tho chair by Bro . W . Clarice Grand Pursuivant of England . The Lodge of which Bro . Phillips now assumes the rule is tho second in point of ago in tho Province , that of Lowestoft—the Unity , No . 71—being its senior by 15 years , it having been warranted in the
year 1747 , while No . 81 dates from 1762 . It did not , however , meet at Woodbridgo , bnt at the New Commercial Inn , at Aldborougb , the warrant being originally granted to Cornelius Leggatt W . M ., Ro ' . ert Mollcs Senior Warden , and Joseph Revitfc Jnnior Warden ; it was transferred "by permission of the Right Worshipful Sir William Fowle Middleton , IJart ., P . G . M . for the county , to the Bull Ion ,
Woodbridge , January 1 st 1821 . " Tho warrant . nt that time was en . trusted to Brothers Benj . Gall W . M Jas . Hibbett J . W ., William Baxter P . M ., Thomas Sherning , James Smyth , Richard Fisher , Mark Lnko George Cross , and Henry Carter . " Since that time the Lodge , like most others , has passed through some amount of vicissitude , bnt at the present time it bears every
appearance of continuing the very successful career which haa characterised it during the past few years . A matter of ten years since it was in danger of dying out , bnt somo new members being then introduced , a revival took place , and its present position is the result . The brother with whom the revival may in a measure be said to have been assoc ated—Bro . W . P . T . Phillips—is now one of
tho Past Masters of the Lodge , whilo the Master installed on Tuesday is one of his sons , another being invested on the same occasion with the collar of Steward . As the enthusiasm of the father appears to bo shared by his sons , and thero are several other . energetic Masons in the Lodge , an extension during the more immediate future is probable ; indeed , on the occasion of the installation it was
announced that already two gentlemen had offered themselves aa candidates for initiation , and others were expected to come forward . The town of Woodbridge has in years gone by warmly supported the Masonic Order , there having nt one time been two Lodges , a Royal Arch Chapter , and a Knight Templar Encampment working thero ; at the present time there is but one Lodge
and a Chapter . One advantage these two bodies boast of , ia the pos . session of a Masonic IT all , in which to hold their meetings—an arrangement which , we think , adds greatly to the comfort of the brethren and the impressiveness of the various ceremonies , as so much more appropriate surroundings are possible in such cases than , can be secured where a Lodge room is simply an ordinary apartment
laid ont for the occasion . The ceremony on Tuesday was carried out most efficiently , the officiating Officer being noted for his knowledge of and rendering of the ritual , and on this occasion really excelled himself . In due course the Oflicers for the year were appointed , the following brethren being invested with the respective collars : —Bros . E . St . Georgo Cobbold I . P . M ., F . A . Kent S . W ., W . II . Hessey J . W .
Rev . R . 0 . M . Rouse Chaplain , B . D . Gall ( by proxy ) Treasurer , E . Smith S . D ., J . Collins J . D ., C . F . Browne P . M . Director of Ceremonies , J . Stidolph Organist , F . J . Horsey I . G ., II . W . P . Phillips Steward , G . Hall Tyler . At tho conclusion of the nsnal formal business , the Lodgo was closed , and tho brethren repaired to the Bull Hotel to banquet , which vvas served by mine host , Bro . John Grout ,
in really first-rate style . At tho conclusion of the repast , and after grace had been said , the Worshipful Master proposed tho toasfc of the Queen and the Craft , followed by that of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales Grand Master , each of which was well received . With the toast of the Grand Officers of England waa coupled the name of Bro . Clarke , and that brother , in tho course of
his reply , thanked the Worshipful Master arid the brethren generally for the reception they had given to the toast . There was ono point in connection with the Grand Oflicers which he—and he thought Masons generally—would be pleased to have altered . It was subject of regret that tho Pro Grand Master the Earl of Carnarvon was not able to be more frequently among t . hem . Uo had done good
service in the past , and won for himself tho respect of ( he whole English Brotherhood , who could hut regret the cause which led to his abs-T'iico •it was ill health alone , Bro . Clarke , felt , that detained his Lordship . The Worshipful Master , in giving tlio health of tho J'rnv . Grand Officers , stated he had received a letter from Bro . Rev . C . J . M-utvn Deputy Pro' ' . Grand Master , regretting his inability to
I attend , while a telegram was received from l . ho samo brother ten-! during the heartiest good wishes to the Lodge . Two brethren of ! Prov . Grand Lodge having replied , Brc . Coblx-id I . P . M . assumed the i 'ravel , and gave the toast of tlie AVorshipful Master . He believed it I was the custom among Freemasons that the Immediate Past Master ! ahould give this toasfc , and ou the present occasion he folt it a great
privilege to do so , as it afforded him the picasuie of welcoming to tho .-hair of Ihe Doric Lodge Tiro . Phillips . Although his other avocations hid sometimes prevented his attendance at the Lodgo during tho past yonr , it was well known among the brethren that thoy had secured : t very good Master for t !> 0 coming year , and ho begged to
' . 'for his personal congratulations to Tiro . Phillips . Ho felt from what lie knew of his successor , that , he would maintain , what ho hoped ho had himself secured , the integrity of Freemasonry in the Doric Lodge The W . M . desired most , cordially to thank the brethren . It was with feelings somewhat of dread thafc he accepted the responsibilities of his present office , as the Past Masters had acquitted
