Craft Masonry.

"The Prov . Grand Officers" was proposed by the W . M ., who referred to the several Prov . Grand Officers present , and said that Masonry in Surrey was bound to go forward with such good men at the head . Bro . C . Tyler , Prov . G . Sec , returned thanks , and said he expressed the feelings of all Prov . Grand Officers present when he said how pleased they were at tin' manner in which the work was done in the lodge . It was a great treat , and he could safely say having visited a great marly , that each lodge in the province tried to outdo the others .

The Prov . Grand Master , in proposing the next toast— " The Health of the W . M . " —said he had known the W . M . for too short a time to enable him to prognosticate what would be the result of his year of office , but he could say the W . M . had taken no small pains in the interest of the lodge to see that everything was in decency and order . As a W . M . Bro . Berry had a high standard to live up to , for the work he had seen that day was as good as any to be found in the province . It had been often said— " That which

becomes a man most is his manner of leaving it , " and that which became a W . M . most was the manner in which he installed his successor , and no brother present would contradict him when he said that the manner in which tho W . M . had been installed was worthy of the traditions of that lodge . He gave them " The Health of the W . M ., " wishing that his year of office would be as successful , and that he might instal his successor in as admirable a manner as had been clone that night .

Bro . E . L . Berry , W . M ., expressed his thanks for tli ; way in which tlia toast had been proposed and received . He had indeed a very difficult task to perform for the next 12 months to try to get "one better" than the I . P . M . He would do his best to be their W . M . as a W . M . should be , and carry out the work to the b . ; st of his ability , and endeavour to make them happv and their meetings as genial as possible . That

lodge was formed with the idea of being charitable , and be hoped that , although many were London Masons , they would not forget the Province of Surrey . They bad a Charity Association formed with the idea of Worshipful Masters of the lodge going up as Stewards with good lists . He again thanked them for the manner in which they had received him , and for the kindness with which they had placed him in the chair . "The Initiate " was next given and responded to , after which

The W . M . submitted " The Installing Master and Past Masters . " The I . P . M ., Bro . Cleave , was a man of sterling worth , and when he ( the W . M . ) asked that brother to join that lodge , they would give him credit for introducing a worthy Mason . The Prov . Grand Master had referred to the perfect rendering of the installation ceremony , which was done after the three Degrees had been performed . Bro . Langton had done good suit and service in Masonry , especially as Secretary of the Charity Committee , and liro . C . O . Burgess ' s work had been recognised by Prov . Grand Lodge .

Bro . J . R . Cleave , I . P . M ., returned thanks for the reception accorded him , and also for the jewel presented by the lodge . Bros . J . D . Langton , D . G . D . C , and C . 0 . Burgess , P . M ., P . P . G . D ., also replied . "The Visitors " was given by Bro . Burge's , P . P . G . D ., and responded to by Bros . Gardiner , P . S . G . W . Berks ; W . B . Fendick , P . S . G . D . Betks ; F . Kedge , P . M . ; and ColyerP . M .

, Other toasts were given before the Tyler ' s tcast closed a successful gathering , that will doubtless be regarded as a red-letter day in the history of this young and successful lodge . Bro . Foan , Org ., presided in a brilliant manner at the pianoforte , and was ably assisted in the musical arrangements by Bros . Stuart Walker , Masters , Read , and Sergeant Lee .

A GRAND MASONIC TEMPLE IS being arranged for at the new Trocadero Restaurant which Messrs . J . Lyons & Co . are now completing at Piccadilly Circus . Special and complete accommodation will be provided for large and small lodges , and the tariff will be strictly in accord with the moderation which has hitherto characterised J . Lyons and Co . ' s charges . The cuisine will fully sustain the high reputation this company have already earned , and the decorations and comforts of Ihe whole place will mark a new era in the record of Masonic gatherings . Inquiries as to particulars , should he addressed to the proprietors , J . Lyons & Co ., Limited , Cadby Hall , Kensington . — ADVT . 1
