TIVERTON , Dec . 10 . —Our encampment is in a good state of equipment . One appointment , however , has not been filled up , and it is a most important one , that of Treasurer ; already we feel the inconvenience , which , it is hoped , may be speedily rectified . Brother Reed will retire from , ancl Brother Boyce succeed to the office of Master , on the Festival of St . John , which , falling on Sunday , will be celebrated on the following Monday . It is also expected that an encampment . of K . T . will be held previously , so as to economise time , and ensure a fuller attendance at the Lodge banquet .
