The W . M . next proposed "The Health of the I . P . M . of the Lodge , Bro . Simon , " to whom he gave praise for the excellent manner he had discharged his duties , both as I . P . M . and Installing Master , and he was sure that at any time he required assistance Bro . Simon would freely give it . He could always rely upon him , which was a source of support to the W . M . and gave him that confidence , without

which no W . M . could expect to succeed . The toast was well received . Replying to the toast , Bro . Simon thanked the W . M . for the kind manner he had spoken of him , and assured him it would be both his pleasure and duty to give him all the assistance that laid in his power to make the lodge successful .

The toast of " The Past Masters , Treasurer , and Secretary " was next on the list , and the W . M ., in proposing it , remarked that the lodge could not go on without the Past Masters , who had since the lodge was formed always been ready and willing to assist in the well-being of the lodge . The Treasurer of the iodge was a brother of , whom they had good reason to be proud , and he hoped the lodae would

have the benefit of his advice and assistance for many years to come . The Secretary was of the first importance , and he was proud to have such a brother for the post as the lodge then possessed . He called upon Bro . Fenner , P . M . ; to respond . Bro . Fenner thanked the W . M . for the honour done him by coupling his name with the toast . On behalf of the

Treasurer ( who was compelled to leave early ) he thanked them for the cordial manner the toast had been received . The Treasurer was a good Mason , and one who possessed the confidence of every mem berof the lodge , and he trusted the G . A . O . T . U . would spare him for many years . On behalf of himself , Bro . Fenner thanked the W . M . and brethren for the kind manner the toast had been given and

received , and assured the brethren , on behalf nf the Past Masters , they were now , as they always had been , ready and willing to assist in the welfare of the lodge . "The Officers of the Lodge" was next given by the VV . M ., who congratulated each one on his proficiency , and he felt proud in having such an efficient staff of officers , as they gave him that support which was so essential in the

discharge of his duties . The unanimity of their working rendered his duties of a very pleasant nature , and thanked them for their kind assistance . Bro . A . W . Cooper , S . W ., said he had to return thanks for the toast from the lowest rung to the almost top one he now held . The W . M . could always rely upon his officers for such help as they could give .

Bro . Robson , J . W ., said he felt proud of the position he then held . He would do his best to earn credit for the lodge , and be as useful as possible . Bro . Anthony , J . D ., could not improve upon the remarks already made by the Wardens . He would try and be as efficient in his office as those who had preceded him . Bros . Dimes , W . Windsor , Org . ; and Drury . also replied

in short speeches , but very much to the point . The Tyler ' s toast was the last , and brought a most successful evening to an end . Ihe enjoyment of the evening was enhanced by an excellent programme of music , provided by Bro . Windsor , Org ., who himself contributed in no small measure to the harmony by the excellent way in which he accompanied the vocalists . Miss Jennie Higgs is an accomplished artiste .

and deserved the applause bestowed upon her rendering of Ardite's "Sing , Sweet Bird , " and Dudley Buck ' s "When the Heart is Young . " . Miss E . Mayer gave some excellent solos on the pianoforte , " A Voyage in a Troopship , " and "Caprice Hongroise" being received with applause . Other items in the programme could not be gone tnrough for want of time , which waiteth for no man ( or woman ) . The writer of this veracious history hopes to enjoy many ether evenings of a like nature in the Kingsland Lodge .

Bro . Speth addressed the brethren in memory of their distinguished member , Bro . W . Kelly , P . P . G . M . Leicester and Rutland , who had departed this life since their last meeting . The address was ordered to be printed in the Transactions . The ballot for W . M . resulted in the unanimous election of Bro . the Rev . C J . Ball , and that for Treasurer in the re-election of Bro . Walter Besant . Bro . Gould read a most interesting paper on " The Medical

Profession and Freemasonry , " sustaining two propositionsthat the medical profession has distinguished itself more than any other in the service of Freemasonry : and that famous medicil men of great eminence , though not Masonically , have ever figured among the warmest supporters of the Craft . The number of examples quoted and dilated on by Bro . Gould fully bore out his coi . tentions , and the paper was very well received by the members present .

Remarks were made—althoujjh the paper scarcely admitted of discussion—by Bios . Dr . Westcott , W . M . ; Ball , Speth , Rylands , Sir C . Warren , A . G . Hall , and the Rev . Horsley , and a hearty vote of thanks accorded the lecturer and acknowledged by him . An address of thanks to the outgoing W . M . was voted by the lodge , and ordered that it be suitably engrossed and presented to him . The exhibits , which form such a feature of this lodge , were unusually

interesting . Bro . Thorp , the Librarian of the Leicester Afasonic Library , had sent two very interesting jewels , one of which may be considered unique in design ; also an arm plate , which , though showing Masonic symbols , was probably not of Masonic origin . Bro . Barnes exhibited and presented to the Iodge two silver badges , composed of a Maltese cross , with wreath in centre , inside which were respectively a level and a bee skep . These also were

pronounced not Masonic , but attributed to the teetotal society of the Phcenix . Bro . Larter had sent lor exhibition and presentation to the lodge the two curious jewels described b y Bro . Hughan in our columns some weeks back—one of silver and the other of copper . Bro . Tolloday , of Birmingham , had forwarded photographs of a curious Masonic jug , lately acquired bv him . Iiro . Mapleton exhibited a beautiful hand-painted engraved apron , late the property of a Mr . Henwood , in the Island of Saba , Lesser Antilles ,

curious in design , and in excellent preservation , and Bro . Songhurstexhibited a MasterMason ' scertificate , in Spanish , on vellum , and granted by a lodge hailing under the Grand Orient of Spain , and established in London , dated 5 S 51 ; alio the apron and collar of the owner of the certificate , a political refugee of that time , which were both Rose Croix—a Degree which the same lodge evidently also conferred . The proceedings were then closed , and the brethrei adjourned to the Holborn Restaurant for dinner .

Eccentric Lodge ( No . 24 SS ) . —The first installation meeting after the consecration took place at the Criterion , Piccadilly , on Friday , 5 th inst ., when Bro . Sir Augustus Harris , the first W . M ., made way for his succtssor , Bro . Osnan Carr , who was , in the absence of the retiring W . M , very ably installed in the chair of King Solomon by the Grand Secretary , U .-o . li . Letchworth . A hrge number of visitors and brethren were present , and on

t IK completion of the ceremony , Bro . Carr appointed his officers as follows : Bros . Walter Clifford , S . W . ; W . S . Hooper , J . W . ; Beard , Treas . ; Will . E . Chapman , P . P . S . G . W . Bucks ., Sec . ; J . A . Harrison , S . D . ; John Foss , J . D . , L . VV . Harris , l . G . j T . Honey , D . of C , ; John Crook , Org . ; and G . P . Hadley and Frank Parker , Stewards . The u-ua ! business having been transacted the brethren

adjourned to the banquet presided over by the VV . M ., who was supported by the Grand Secretary , Bros . Col . Davoren , Sir Somers Vine , Dr . Lennox Browne , Charles Belton ; J . R . Trendall , CM . G . ; and a company numbering over So . The toasts of "The Queen and the Craft , " and " The M . W . G . M . the Prince orWales , " having been disposed of , The VV . M . gave the toast of "The Grand Officers , " to

which Bro . Sir Somers Vina brielly responded . Iiro . Hawking who has acted as I . P . M . during th " . year , then proposed the toast of " The Worshipful Master . " He said lie had long wished to see Dr . Carr in the chair , and he felt ture that whatever ihe future might produce , he would be a Ma ; t : r whom it would be difficult to excel . The VV . M ., in responding , congratulated the members on the success which the lodge had attained during the first

year of its existence . He desired that it should liea factor in L'Jiidnn Masomy . They had had at each meeting a number of initiates , which , as they knew , meant vitality in a lodge , anil having in the club gentlemen of varied professions , it contained all the elements of success . During the coming year he trusted to have the support of all the members in working for the development of the Eccentric Lodge . ' 1 he trast of " The Visitors " was responded to by Bros . Col . Davoren , Catling , and Harris , the former expressing

Craft Masonry.

his great admiration of the works of charity carried out by English Masons . They could not in Ireland attempt to emulate their English brethren in that direction ; but , still he thought for a . poor country the amount of £ 23 , 700 raised for the Masonic Orphan Schools at Dublin on the occasion of the jubilee recently celebrated was something to be

proud of . Other toasts followed , and the remainder of the evening was most enjoyably filled up with contributions froti various members of the lodge of vo : al and instrumental music , recitations , & c , amongst the most prominent being Bros . Reginald Groome , John Radcliffe , J . L . Shine , F . H . Cheesewright , Sergeant Lee , Templar Saxe , E . Schuberth , and John Crook .
