two years ago they had their misgivings as to Bro . Dr . Ivor Davis , but hiscareer as W . M . had astonished them , and , although he was a busy man in his profession , it was marvellous that he had been so efficient in the ritual , and the ceremony of installation could not have been done better . His year of office and grand working would long be rememberedas would the way he entertained the ladies while he was in the chair .

, Bro . Dr . Ivor Davies , I . P . M ., responded , and said he was thankful to Bro . Ham , P . M ., for the eulogistic way he had referred to him , but what he had done was his duty , as others had done before him in the lodge . He had introduced music in the lodge , and he thought it added to the beautiful ritual . He had had the honour of entertaining the ladies three times during his year of office , and concluding , he again thanked them for the kindness he had always received at their hands .

The W . Mf , in proposing " The Past Master , " said that it seemed hardly necessary at that late hour for him to speak of the merits of the Past Masters—Bros . Spicer , Ham , Jones , Hoggins , Conway , Buxton , Perry , Lichtwitz-as they were all well-tried brethren , and they always came up smiling . He could not extol their abilities too highly , and he thought it showed the love they had for the lodge by the large array at his left that evening , and great praise was due to them for the example they had set him , which he should sincerely endeavour to follow , and he coupled with the toast the names of Bros . F . VV . Buxton , P . M ., and J . C . Conway , P . M .

In responding , Bro . Buxton , P . M ., thanked the W . M . for his kind words , and said that the Past Masters would do all they could to assist the W . M ., but they did not think that he would require any help . He was glad to see Bro . Geo . May installed as W . M ., who was one of his initiates , as was the I . P . M ., Bro . Dr . Ivor Davis , and at the end of his year of office , the VV . M . would instal his successor in a way that the same nice things would be said of him as had been said of Bro . Dr . Ivor Davis Bro . I . C . Conway , P . M ., also acknowledged the toast , which he did in eloquent

"The Treasurer and Secretary" and "The Officers of the Lodge" having been duly honoured , the Tyler ' s toast brought the happy and very successful proceedings to Trie musical arrangements were under the able direction of Bro . Geo . Thatcher , in which the following contributed to the harmony ot the evening : Miss Carrie Tulib , Bros . Fred Rains , Thos . Lynes , A . Meo , and Geo . Thatcher . Bro . Sidney Scott ably presided at the pianoforte .

A banquet followed , at which the lengthy toast list necessitated a brevity of speech , which , perhaps , added to the enjoyment . Following the usual loyal and patriotic toasts , Bro . R . Berridge , P . G . D ., in replying for " The Grand Officers , Present and Past , " said it had given him great pleasure to attend . He thought Bro . Penny had by his excellent working of the installation ceremony , earned the congratulations of all . Bro . Bullock , P . G . S . B ., also replied .

In reply to the toast of " The Provincial Grand Master and Officers , " Bro . Woodley , P . M ., said it was with much pleasure he had to acknowledge on behalf of the Prov . S . G . O . He hoped in the course of time to congratulate the W . M . on his attaining Prov . Grand rank . He took the opportunity of wishing him a most successful

year . Bro . Penny , I . P . M ., said that to him fell the privilege of proposing the toast of the evening . As " good wine needs no bush , " so the Worshipful Master needed no eulogium from him . Bro . Dexter had served all the offices in such a manner that he was never excelled in the lodgei which was saying a very great deal , and the brethren all looked forward to his year of office with every confidence in Bro . Dexter ' s ability to discharge the duties in a way creditable to himself and satisfactory to the lodge .

Bro . Dexter , in reply , after thanking Bro . Penny and the brethren , both for the toast and its hearty reception , said that he was mindful of the splendid example set by his predecessors of correct working , which he would do his best to follow for the lodge ' s best welfare . In proposing "The Health of the I . P . M .,- " the W . M . expressed the feelings of

the lodge at the high opinion held by every brother of the brilliant manner he had performed the ceremony of installation , which ended his successful yearof office , and that as a conscientious and energetic Master , and as a true and genial brother , he should be regarded as an example to be followed by all . The lodge had voted him a Past Master ' s jewel , which he now had the pleasure of presenting with the assurance of the brethren that thev were conscious it was so well deserved .

Bro . Penny having replied , the toasts of " The P . Ms . " and " The Vistors " were proposed by the Senior and Junior Wardens , and acknowledged by Bros . May and Humphries for the Past Master , and Bro . Wholey for the visitors . " The Officers •" and Tyler's toasts brought a thoroughly enjoyable evening to a close .
