Freemasonry In Ballarat.

Lodge , St . John ' s Lodge , Orion Lodge , Mc-Millan , Sebastopol Lodge , responded on behalf of their respective lodges , and complimented the Yarrowee Lodge on the energy displayed , and all re ° retted that such re-unions were not of more O

frequent occurrence . Bro . Josephs , P . M ., proposed the health of the Immediate Past Master Bro . Henry Davies , complimenting him upon the efficient manner in which he had conducted the lodge during his

term of office . Bro . Davies , in responding , stated that he felt afraid , on taking the chair after so many good Masters , who had each left the lodge in a prosperous condition , that his term would not be so successful , more particularly seeing the

commercial depression which had taken place ; but he was happy to say that , with the assistance of his officers , he had succeeded in leaving the lodge in a more prosperous condition , the receipts having been a trifle larger and the expenditure less than in former years .

Bro . Oliver , P . M ., proposed " The Health of the Installing Master , Bro . Win . Scott . " Bro . Scott responded in suitable terms for the kind manner in which the toast of his health had been received , and stated that he was proud to see that the young Masons of the present day were

likely to succeed wdiere the old Masons of sixteen years ago had failed , viz ., in the erection of a Masonic Hall , and called upon the brethren to exert themselves so as to free the hall from debt by the time they received the key from the architect .

Bro . Davies , P . M ., proposed " The Health of the Newly-installed Officers . " Bros . Geo . Spencer , S . W . ; Morgan , J . W . ; and Izod , S . D . ; responded on behalf of the officers , for the honour conferred .

Bro . John Cuthbert proposed " 1 he Health ol the Past Master and Past Officers of the Lodge . " Bro . Sleep , P . M ., and Bro . Josephs responded . Bro . Gibbings , P . M . proposed " The Health of the Visitors , " and stated that as the new hall would be for the use of the district , the brethren

Generally would rally round the two lodges , and assist by their contributions in freeing the hall from any liability , and that by the next installation the brethren would meet in their own

building . Bro . Daniels , from New- Zealand , responded on behalf of the visitors , and stated that in all his travels , although he had the opportunity of visiting many lodges , he had never been better entertained .

Bro . Henry Cuthbert , P . M ., proposed " Success to the NewMasonic Hall , " and was proud to see so many old faces whom he had seen many years ago , and thought that the reason the old Masons had not succeeded in their endeavours to erect a hall , was that their ideas in those days

were so extravagant that they thought .- £ ' 5000 to £ 6000 necessary ; but now thev found that about , £ '] 2 oo would be sufficient to meet all their present requirements , which included the sum of , £ 200 paid for the land in Camp-street ; and hoped that the brethren would aid in he

endeavours of the lodges in completing what had been so energetically commenced . ( Three cheers . ) Bro . Radelilfe proposed , in a very humorous and affecting manner , " 'The Health of the Ladies . " Bro . Robert Lewis lcsponded on behalf of the ladies .

Bro . Davies proposed " The Health of the Host and Hostess , " who had catered for the lodge in a very handsome manner during their occupation of the house . Bro . Scott , P . M ., at the request of tho host

Bro . O Meara , responded on his behalf . The T yler ' s toast of " Poor and Distressed Brethren , wherever they may be dispersed over land and water , " which w-as drunk in solemn silence , brought the evening to a very agreeable termination .

'The brethren who assisted so ably by their musical abilites in rendering eclat to the occasion were Bros . Thomas King , D . Oliver , W . Bardwell , 'Thos . White , Brtinn , Daniels , Hohmuth , and J . K . 'Trevor . These gentlemen also sang some very appropriate music during the installation , Bro . King officiating at the piano and organ .
