THE TESTIMONIAL TO BRO . SAVAGE . —The time fixed for the presentation to Bro . Savage is on Friday the 17 th of March , on which occasion the Committee and their friends purpose to have a supper banquet , to which they publicly invite the attendance of such of the Craft as may be desirous to honour them by their company . The chair will be taken by Dr . Crucefix , who will be assisted by Bro . Mountain as Deputy , and a competent Board of Stewards to conduct the proceedings . We
anticipate not merely a pleasant meeting , but that it will prove an instructive lesson , by the grateful manner in which a merited compliment will be paid to a most useful and faithful servant of the Craft . EMULATION LODGE OF IMPROVEMENT , NOV . 19 . —The anniversary festival of this distinguished Lodge was held . The attendance was not so numerous as we have seen on former occasions , but it lost nothing of its prestige under the presidency of Bro . Hervey , the treasurer . It was
observed that a little of the " publicity " given to the anniversary of the Lodge of Instruction in the city might be advantageous , and the anniversary of 1848 is looked to in proof . The memory of Peter Gilkes was drank in silence . The general addresses were of no ordinary kind . OAK LODGE ( No . 225 . )—The Worshipful Master , Bro . Pryer , has been supplied with so much work during the present season , as to be tvnable to continue his series of lectures during the ordinary meetings of
the Lodge . At the meeting in October , besides passings and raisings , five gentlemen were initiated , and upon that occasion was presented the interesting circumstance of a father and son seeking admission into an universal Brotherhood—Cornelius Home , Esq ., manager of traffic of the South Western Railway , and his son Mr . Canille Home , having then " been brought to the LIGHT . " The latter had not attained his full age of twenty-one years , but the M . W . Grand Master , at the request of
Bro . Pryer , kindly granted a dispensation to authorize his initiation . William Robert Burgess , Esq ., nephew of the late Dr . Burgess , Bishop of Salisbury ( who was a Brother of our Order ) , and Dr . Cotes and W . Critchett , Esq ., were also initiated . It is needless to say , from the correct working of this Lodge , that the ceremonies were performed in the most imposing and effective manner , and that the candidates were deeply impressed with their solemnity .
