Consecration Of The Dorothy Vernon Lodge, No. 2129, Haddon.

The banquet was held at the Rutland Arms Hotel , Bakewell , Bro . Cokayne in the chair , and the Senior and Junior Wardens in the vicechairs . The room was filled to its utmost capacity . Unfortunately , Bro . Okeover was obliged to leave before dinner , owing to the exigencies of the train service .

The WORSHIPFUL MASTER , in giving the first Masonic , toast , remarked in conclusion that the example the Queen had set as daughter , wife , mother , and Sovereign , had been such that not only the present generation but generations yet unborn would live to bless her name . ( Applause . )

The toast having been received with all the honours , the WORSHIPFUL M ASTER next proposed "The Most Worshipful the Grand Master of Eng land , " speaking in high terms of his Royal Highness , and remarking that the Oueen was the daughter , niece , mother , and grandmother of

Freemasons . The next toast was that of "The Pro Grand Master , the Earl of Carnarvon ; the Deputy Grand Master , the Earl of Lathom , and the Officers of Grand Lodge , Past and Present , " which was duly honoured . The W ORSHIPFUL MASTER next gave " The Health of the Prov . G . M .

of Derbyshire , the Marquis of Hartington , " and remarked that they were in hopes Lord Hartington would have done them the honour of being present , and from the tenor of his answer he ( Bro . Cokayne ) was satisfied

Lord Hartington would have come if possible , but his multifarious duties absolutely prevented him . He had great pleasure in proposing his health , and was perfectly certain they would all rejoice to do honour to the toast . The toast having been received with full honours ,

Bro . MARSDEN proposed "The Health of the R . W . the Deputy Prov . Grand Master of Derbyshire , Bro . H . C . Okeover . " It was a toast which came home to all their hearts . They had seen that fine specimen of a real English gentleman , one of the finest they had amongst them , taking the leading place lhat day , and they knew his heart was with them , and his

services were always at their command . When the date of that ceremony was originally fixed for a period some months back , Bro . Okeover was in the Mediterranean and could not come here , so that it was fortunate the postponement secured his attendance , whilst it had also given them a day when the weather was such as they could congratulate themselves upon .

Bro . Okeover amongst Derbyshire Masons was a man who was simply revered . The speaker passed on to remark that the attendance that day had quite taken Bro . Okeover by surprise at its magnitude , for there were about ioo Past Masters , and 200 Masons in all , which was a very large

gathering , and far more than they had at all expected . They had now had an experience of Bro . Okeover extending over 25 years , and they knew his heart was in the right place . They were all proud of him , they loved him , and if they had a wish for him it was that he might go a step higher . The toast having been warmly received ,

Bro . MARSDEN again rose and referred to tne forthcoming marriage of the Hon . Maude Okeover , and said that as the Masons had seldom an opportunity of showing their esteem towards the D . P . G . M ., it was proposed to seize the present occasion to compliment Bro . Okeover , through his daughter , by presenting her with a diamond bracelet on her wedding . A small subscription from each Mason would be enough .

It was subsequently announced that the sum of ^ 10 5 s . 6 d . had been subscribed in the room , and the W . M . stated that any brethren desiring to subscribe could forward their donations to Bro . Naylor , Prov . Grand Sec , Derby .

Bro . ORME proposed "The Officers of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Derbyshire , " and remarked that , whilst they could not all attain to the purple , they could all try for it , and the members of the Dorothy Vernon Lod ge intended to do their best in that direction . He coupled with the toast the name of Bro . Percy Wallis .

Bro . WALLIS , in reply , congratulated the W . M . upon the auspicious features of the consecration ceremony that day , and especially on the weather , for after the persistent gloom of the spring the VV . M . must have made special arrangements with the Clerk of the Weather to secure so bright and genial a day . Every surrounding of the occasion of the Doroth y

Vernon Lodge coming into the Masonic world had been auspicious , and it seemed she was a favoured child , like her prototype . He thanked Bro . Orme for his proposal of their health , and assured the brethren that the officers of the Provincial Grand Lodge had taken great pleasure in coming to assist in the ceremony that day . It was not every year that they had to take part in

mat ceremony , but they all felt , from Bro . Okeover downwards , that it had been a day well spent , one they had enjoyed , and one which their successors night enjoy also . A lodge had been long wanted in Bakewell , and he

congratulated them that the corner stone had been laid for the development of C ^ asonry in that district by the consecration of a lodge bearing , as the P . G . --naplain had so well said , " the sweet name of Dorothy Vernon . " ( Applause . ) '

lt , Bro . Dr . WILSON , P . Prov . J . G . W . Cheshire , next proposed Ihe Health of the Worshipful Master , and Success to the Dorothy ernon Lodge . " He remarked that Bro . Cokayne had been followed into e " * yshire that day by a dozen members of his old lodge in Cheshire . It

as often asked what character a man brings from his last place . ( Laughter . ) e | I there was the answer . ( Hear , hear . ) They were present that day onl y to testify to their appreciation of Bro . Cokayne , but to show their gret at losing him , although they congratulated Derbyshire Masons on , ln g his services transferred to their countv . For 2-: vears he had been

wing them in Congleton that a tradesman may be every inch a gentlen * as every good tradesman is , and ought to be . He had not only been good and honourable citizen amongst them , but he had given a remarkable L ul ^ to Masonry amongst them—a stimulus which they regretted to lose , which they rejoiced his friends here would gain . It happened often to

him ( the speaker ) that if there was anything very good it was his evil destiny to have to send it away , bul in this case it was the gain to those he saw about him , and he hoped that they would have Bro . Cokayne ' s services for twice 25 years , if it so pleased the Grand Architect of the Universe . ( Applause . ) He did not deal in flattering expressions , and his speech was

more than half one of regret , but their brother had left them for his own good , and he hoped it would prove so to him , and his interesting family , and to them as Masons . With regard to Bakewell , he had interesting and pathetic memories , and it was known to some of them that he had reason for being specially interested in that town , and therefore it was with

additional pleasure he came there that day to assist in the ceremony . Nothing could have been happier than the idea of inaugurating this lodge in the gallery at Haddon Hall , and to him it had bsen inexpressibly touching and pleasant to be there on such an occasion . After some further remarks , the

venerable speaker concluded by turning to the VV . M ., and invoking a blessing upon him in his new post , and expressing an earnest wish that he mi ght do as much good to Masonry in Derbyshire as he had in Cheshire . The toast having been drunk with full Masonic honours ,

The WORSHIPFUL MASTER was received with applause on rising to respond . He said it had been his lot during his Masonic career of nearly a quarter of century to undertake some difficult duties , but on the present occasion he really felt more difficulty than he had ever felt before . His feelings were much mixed . He felt great gratification at the kindness shown to

him amongst his friends and neighbours in that county he loved so well , and where his ancestors had lived for seven hundred years . With regard to his position in Masonry , it must have been accident which placed him in the chair , as there was a brother sitting on his left who would have been

more suitable to the post , as he could have exercised more influence . He , however , was not living in the town , but for which fact they would have had Bro . Marsden as W . M . instead of him . As Bro . Marsden knew well , he would have most gladly , and with all his heart , have supported him , but it had been the wish of the brethren that the first Master should be a resident .

With regard to the foundation of the lodge , they had had the warrant in their possession a long time , and no one could be more awake to its importance than he was to that fact . He knew all the difficulties that were before them , but he would say that the hearty way in which the lodge had been spoken of , and especially the good feeling with which it had been endorsed

that day , gave him the greatest hopes for the future . There was no doubt he could do little for himself by his own Masonic zeal , but he had Wardens who were well known locally ( applause ) who would carry influence , and , although he was the Master in the chair , he should feel that their local influence would far exceed anything he could do . Then there were the other officers , who

were brethren who would do all they could , and who were good men and true . It was not his province to trench on the toasts which would follow ; but he did wish to thank them , and to express the satisfaction he felt in having such officers to support him in this important undertaking . The goodwill of their brethren in the neighbourhood they would deeply value ,

and he hoped it would not be the last time by many they would have the pleasure of meeting brethren of the province other than brethren of their own lodge . He believed they were making a good beginning , and although it was not in their power to command success , they would do their best to

deserve it . As to the kind remarks of Bro . Wilson , it was dangerous ground , and he must not say too much to awaken those feelings of regret and love and affection for him and those connected with him . He thanked him for the great kindness with which he had proposed the toast , and the company for the manner in which they had received it . ( Applause . )

Bro . GLOSSOF proposed " 1 he Visiting Brethren " in a neat speech , and coupled with it the names of Bros . Marwood , Chadwick , and Blackshaw , of Congleton . Humorous and appropriate replies were given by each brother , and some excellent songs were sung by Bros . Wilson , the Hon . Trollope , Blackshaw , and others .

The remaining toasts were " The Installing Master , " The Wardens , " The Masonic Charities , " " The Deacons and Assistant Officers , " and the Tyler ' s toast . Each was appropriately honoured , and a pleasant evening thus came lo a close , everything having passed off with signal success . The members of the new lodge already include the following brethren ,

in addition to the officers already named : Bros . Vernon J . Greenhough , P . J . G . W . ; R . Greenhough , Jno . Wilson , LL . D ., P . J . G . W . Cheshire ; Rev . C . VV . Spencer Stanhope , P . M ., P . G . C . of England ; T . A . Daniel , P . M . 533 ; and VV . H . Marsden , P . M ., P . P . S . G . W . Bro . Marsden takes a special interest in the lodge , and several other Derby brethren have promised their valuable help in its new career .

Much of the success of the opening day was due to the untiring exertions of Bro . Garner , Secretary , whose genial aptitude for the work and great interest in Freemasonry were much appreciated . About 200 brethren were present , and we regret that the space at our disposal will not admit of our giving a list . The above lodge was furnished by Bro . George Kenning , London .
