Consecration Of The St. James's Lodge (No. 1579.)
hose name never appeared as subscribers to the charities , ^ thoug h their motto should be loyalty and charity . He a de a very powerful appeal to those present , and we rfncerely hope that Bro . Terry ' s energy in working for the charities will be universally crowned with success . It was announced during the evening that the new lodge
have already decided to shew themselves not wanting in this virtue , as Bro . E . Letchworth , S . W ., has consented to net us Steward at the next festival for the Girls' School , and is open to receive additions to his list of subscribers . Some excellent singing was given by Bros . Malcolm , Pepper , Yorke , and others , which added to the pleasure of the evening .
The Tyler ' s toast brought a most enjoyable meeting to a close , which , to use the words of Bro . Little , would be a rcd-letter day in the Alasonic history of all present . The whole affair proved a thorough success , and we have every reason to believe the St . James ' s Lodge will in time become one of the most popular in the Province of Aliddle-CET The members have done well in deciding to hold
their meetings at the Bell Hotel , the accommodation for such meetings being excellent , as in addition to the capital lodge rooms , with comfortable retiring rooms and other accommodation adjoining , Air . Jewison has recently had erected a spacious hall for banquets , dinners , entertainments , & c , which is near to the house , opening into the the lawn and approach to the pleasure gardens of the
establishment . Alembers of London lodges intending to hold summer banquets in the country should certainly visit here before deciding where to hold such meetings . Here are rooms for meetings , the large banquet hall , the extensive gardens and rosaries , and lawns for croquet parties , and other amusements , at a distance of only ten miles from London , good roads , and a pleasant drive .
