that the change of locality had been beneficial . Bro . A . T . Barnard , D . P . G . M ., then in a very impressive manner installed the R . W . M . ; as well at the Depute and Substitute Masters . Bro . A . M'Taggart , M . A ., P . G . S ., then installed and delivered the charge to the remaining

officebearers . The thanks of the lodge were given to both these distinguished brethren , as well as to the remainder of the P . G . L ., for their services in double event . Bro . Banks replied on behalf of the musical talent and Bro . J . Stuart , of 405 , Rifle Lodge of

Edinburgh , one of the singers , on behalf of the visiJng brethren . The toast of the Press having been given from the chair it was suitably acknowledged by Bros . Wheeler for The Freemason , Furge , for the " Glasgow News , " and Mr . Thackery for the "Daily Mail . "

The choir , which had rendered such service in the early part of the preceding evening , then took part in some excellent solo singing , particularly Bros . J . Miller , Stubbs , Good , Alexander , Robertson , M . Tagart , and Custance . The Star Lodge will doubtless shine with renewed

brilliancy after that truly successful meeting . * At the close of the installation ceremonies the lodge was called to refreshment . Bro . W . Phillips , acting P . G . S . W ., replied to the toast of the " Provincial Grand Lodge , " Bro . Alson , P . M ., gave "The Health of Bro . Robertson , " of

St . George ' s , 333 , who had on many occasions rendered valuable services to the Star Lodge . Bro . Robinson , in reply , trusted that while the Star would have a prosperous year , her officers would look more to the quality of her new members than the quantity that might offer

themselves for candidates , as that was the way to retain the high position in which they now stood . He concluded by proposing "Piosperity to the Star Lodge , and its R . W . M . " Bro . Wilson briefly replied , and then said it was not often he was supported right and left

by two Bros . John Miller ' s , both R . W . M ' s ., in this province , the Masters of 87 and 413 . Bro . Miller , 87 , said the Thistle and the Star were old friends , the Star had often shed its light on his lodge , while the Thistle , he believed , had helped

to defend the Star . ( Cheers . ) Bro . J . Miller , of the Athol , could not boast of old acquaintance , as this was his first visit , but from the cordial reception he had received they might often ) expect a visit from the Athol men . ( Cheers . )
