and having been received with the usual honours , took the chair , and , at the request of the W . M ., proceeded to initiate Dr . Trevor Morris into the mysteries of the first degree . A F . C . ' s Lodge having been opened , Bro . Mammatt , the retiring W . M ., presented his successor ,

Lord Ferrers , to receive the benefit of installation , which ceremony was then performed according to ancient custom ; the Board of Installed Masters consisting of 17 members .

brethren , announced that , as it was his intention , in future to allow , each year , six of the lodges in the province ( in rotation ) to nominate one of their members to him for appointment as a Provincial Grand Steward , he should be glad if the brethren of that lodge would do so , and communicate the name of the brother so elected to the P . G . Secretary before the meeting of the P . G . Lodge in the

autumn . On the conclusion ofthe business , the lodge was closed , and the brethren adjourned to the Queen ' s Head Hotel , where , after an elegant banquet , served in Bro . Love ' s well-known first-rate style , the usual loyal and masonic toasts were dul y

honoured . The noble W . M . proposed "The Queen and the Craft , " followed by "Bro . H . R . H . the Prince ot Wales , the Princess of Wales , and the rest of the Royal Family , " and in so doing expressed the gratification which was universally felt amongst the

Craft at the accession of the Prince of Wales to their ranks , and at the interest which he took in the Order . The PROV . G . M ., in proposing " The Right Rev . Bro . the Lord Bishop of the Diocese , the Clergy and Ministers of all Denominations , " alluded to the

satisfaction felt by the Craft in the diocese in having at its head so learned and eloquent a divine , antl , above all , so worthy a Mason , as the Bishop of Peterborough ; and also to the benefit which was mutually conferred on the Craft and themselves when the clergy and ministers of other

denominations took an active part in Masonry , as was fortunately so largely the case in the Province of Leicester and Rutland—there not being a single Lodge which did not possess one , and , in some instances , three or four clerical brethren .

complimentary terms " The Health of the R . W . Prov . G . M ., Bro . Kelly , " one ofthe founders of the lodge ; and who , he said , was always ready and willing to assist all the lodges in the province , as on that and many former occasions he had assisted their lodge . ( The toast was received most warmly

anckwith musical honours . ) Bro . KELLY , in responding , alluded to the great interest which the late Earl Ferrers took in the establishment of the Ferrers and Ivanhoe Lodge , of which he was nominated in the warrant as the first W . M . ; but into which office it pleased the

G . A . O . T . U . that he should not live to be installed , and which then devolved upon the S . W ., Bro . Edward Mammatt , whose son he ( Bro . Kelly ) had the pleasure of installing into office last year , as he had formerly installed his father , and as he now had the additional pleasure of installing to-day the sort

of the original founder , Earl Ferrers , an event on which he might congratulate both the lodge and its noble W . M . Bro . PETTIFOR , P . P . G . S . W ., responded to the toast of "The P . G . Lodge of Leicestershire and Rutland , " proposed by Bro . BROWN , P . M . The I . P . M ., Bro . MAMMATT , in proposing "The

health of the W . M ., " also referred to the parts taken by the noble W . M . 's father and his own in the formation of the lodge , and said that , although only a boy at the time , he well remembered the frequent conferences on the subject between his late father and the late Earl Ferrers . He concluded by wishing the W . M . a successful rule over the lodge .

The youthful EARL expressed the great pride and pleasure he felt in being placed in the chair of the lodge bearing the name of his late father , and in having the honour to be installed by ' the Prov . G . M ., who had assisted his father in the formation of the lodge . Having expressed the great interest he felt

in the Order , the W . M . concluded by thanking the brethren for their cordial reception of the toast , and their support on this occasion .

by the Rev . Bro . Mundy , of Lichfield , and by Bro , Upton , P . M . of the Abbey Lodge , Burton-on-Trent , a regular visitor to the lodge on these occasions . The concluding toast was "The Past and Present Officers ofthe Lodge , " which was responded to by

Bro . GARNER , S . W . and P . G . S ., when the brethren separated after a very pleasant meeting . It must not be omitted to be mentioned , that during the evening Bros . Atwood and Palmer , of Leicester , delighted the brethren with several songs ,

their wanderings , clearly showed that the cares of the world were , for a time at least , forgotten .

and friends assembled on the lawn in front of the mansion and dancing commenced . Bro . R . H . Peacocke , the W . M ., leading off in a country dance , in which all present joined . After this opening the dances were varied , and heartily kept up during the evening , and it was very gratifying to see so many enjoying this rational and pleasing amusement , with the brethren and friends vicing with each other in their endeavours to make every one happy . At

8 . 30 the " General Assembly was again sounded , and all the party ( including the employe ' s of the Hall ) were arranged for the last dance , the time-honoured "Sir Roger , " which was led off with great spirit by the W . M . and the Housekeeper of the Hall . The National Anthem , anil three hearty cheers for Sir Harcourt and Lady John stone antl family , with three more from the non-Masons for the Freemasons , brought this pleasant afternoon ' s amusements to a close , and all returned home gratified .
