Reports Of Masonic Meetings.

It is not quite four years since Bro . Dr . Goldsbrough initiated me in this lodge , and I have now the honour to occupy the chair of Senior Warden . Bro . Long , J . W ., said he had been a member of the lodge for four years , but had been a member of the Craft for twenty-seven years , and

he had only taken office that he might do his duty to the Craft . The Tyler ' s toast closed the proceedings . We cannot close this notice without acknowledging the services of Bros . Halliwell , Meadley , Westland , and Crane , whose delightful harmony greatly contributed to the pleasure of the evening .

The lodge was then closed down to the First Degree , and on the usual enquiries being made a vote of thanks was carried with acclamation to Bro . Poore for the very able manner in which he had performed the duties of W . M . This was replied to by Bro . Poore , who expressed a high eulogy on Bro . Larlham as Preceptor of the lodge , and also on the brethren who had so admirably assisted him to work the sections . A vote of thanks was then recorded

to the brethren who had assisted in working the sections , which was replied to by Bro . Watts . Bro . Larlham was elected W .
