PRESENTATION TO W . BRO . THE RIGHT HON . JAMES FRANCIS VISCOUNT BERNARD , ON HIS COMING OF AGE . The admission of Bro . Lord Viscount Bernard , only son of the Right Hon . Francis third Earl of Bandon , of Castle-Bernard , in Ireland , on the

22 nd of April , 186 9 , ( by dispensation , ) to Lodge 84 , "Antient Boyne , " was recorded by us in THE FREEMASON as an event of importance to the advancement of Masonry in the county of Cork , and in which we hive not been disappointed . His lordship ' s attention and interest in

the Order was duly appreciated by the brethren of 8 3 , and he was , on the election of officers for th it year , elected Junior Warden , the duties of which he fulfilled so much to the satisfaction of the lodge , that in the following year he was

elected Worshipful Master of the lodge , and during his year of office won thc esteem of the brethren . Masonry in Bandon increased so much during the past three years as to require a second lodge , which was duly opened .

On the arrival of age of Viscount Bernard , on Tuesday , the 12 th ir . st ., the brethren of the two Bandon lodges , 84 and 130 , in order to show their appreciation of his lordship ' s attention and intercut in the mysteries of Masonry , determined on making him a suitable presentation on tlie

occasion , and entered into a subscription for the purpose . Accordingly , on the 12 th inst , the brethren of Lodges 84 and 130 , joined by brethren from Skibbercen Lodge 15 and Cork city lodges , assembled at thc demesne of Castle

Bernard for the purpose of thc presentation , and having robed themselves in the estate oflice , about half a mile at the Bandon end of the demesne , proceeded in procession , in the following order , to Castle Bernard : —

Thc Tyler , bearing the --word of No . 84 . The Inner Guard . Thc two Deacons ( Bros . Walter Bullcn and Thos . Peters ) , with wands . The Secretary and the Treasurer ( I ' ros . Martin and Wolfe ) bearing thc warrant of Lodge 84 on a blue velvet cushion .

Entered Apprentices . Fellow Crafts . Master Masons . Two Master Masons , bearing on a blue velvet cushion the open Bible and the Working Tools .

Thc Chaplain , llro . the Rev . II . Cole . The two Wardens , Bros . Matt . Lee and Richard Wheeler Dohertv . The W . M ., Bro . Stewart R ' . Trcsilian . Lodge 130 , in the same order of procession .

The band of the South Cork Militia played heforc them the " Freemasons' March , " which , coupled with the splendid sunshine , tended to enliven the imposing scene . On the arrival of the procession at the princ ! - ,, pal entrance of Castle Bernard , the brethren were * received b y Viscount Bernard , the Earl of Ban . don , the Lord Bishop of Tuam , Lord Gough , Si r

Ireland.

Arthur Guinness , Col . the Hon . H . B . Bernard , and the other distinguished guests and members of this noble family . The lodges then formed into a semi-circle , and

Bro . Wm . Belcher , of Lod ; e 130 , proceeded to read the following address : — "ADDRESS from the Free ancl Accepted Masons of Lodges Nos . 84 and 130 , Bandon , to Iiro . Lord Viscount Bernard , P . M ., R . A ., on his coming of

age . " We , the Free and Accepted Masons of Lodges 84 and 130 , Bandon , desire to offer you our warmest congratulations on the auspicious event which we celebrate to-day . "From the day you joined our Institution as an

Entered Apprentice , to the present time , when you occupy the high position of Past Master , you have manifested a cordial appreciation of the various degrees , and performed the duties of the several offices you have filled in a manner worthy of the Masonic Order . " Our institution is , as you are aware ,

nonsectarian and non-political . Our laws inculcate the practice of every social and moral virtue , and we have ever been desirous of seeing the rights of property preserved , and loyalty to the Crown and Constitution upheld . " We request your acceptance of the accompanying Past Master ' s jewel and collar as a mark of our fraternal esteem and regard .

( Signed on behalf of No . 84 ) S . R . TRESILIAN , Worshipful Master ( Signed on behalf of No . 130 ) W . BELCHER , M . A , Worshipful Master . "Bandon , 12 th September , 1871 . "

Bro . Tresilian , as Master of the senior lodge , then handed the address to Lord Bernard , and presented him with a Past Master ' s jewel and collar , the former being a perfect gem of artistic beauty of 18-carat gold ( hall marked ) , manufactured by Bro . George Kenning , of London , and was greatly admired as a most perfect work of art .

Lord Bernard replied as follows : Brethren , I thank you from my heart for your address of brotherly kindness , and for the beautiful present which accompanied it . I shall highly prize it as a mark of your esteem and affection . It is now two years since I was admitted to the mysteries

of your Craft—an unusual honour , which I owe to the great kindness of the friends I see around me . I was thus at an early age enabled to bear my testimony to the value of this , the most ancient fraternity in the world . But while the same bond unites us to our brethren in every

part of the globe , my affections must ever find their centre in the lodges with which I was first united , and no jewel can ever , to my eyes , exceed in brightness the one with which you have this day adorned mc . The brethren then saluted Lord Bernard

according to Masonic usage , which conluded the presentation . At half-past one o ' clock , the brethren , on the invitation of the Earl of Bandon , luncheoned with the private guests and friends sojourning at Castle Bernard .

After luncheon , Bro . S . R . Trcsilian proposed the health of Lord Bernard , speaking of him as a virtuous , amiable , and courteous young noble man , whose amiabilities and virtues were well known—not alone to the residents of Bandon , but to many others . ( Applause . ) Lord Bernard ( who was loudly cheered ) said

he was quite overwhelmed by the addresses he had received that day , and the kindness of all who had assembled there to celebrate his coming of age . ( Applause . ) Thus ended the most interesting event that has taken place for several years in the South of Ireland .

HOLLOWAY ' S OINTMENT AND PILLS . —In these autumnal months the human health is sorely tried by the extreme charges of temperature which weaken the digestive organs , lower the bodily tone , and lay the system open to numberless complaints . The vnst majority of maladies affecting thc throat , lungs , and circulation , may be checked in their dangerous course bv rnbliinglhis

curative unguent briskly twice a day upon the skin covering the seat of the ailment , and by taking at the same time appropriate doses of Holloway ' s purifying , corrective , and aperitive Pills . This simple treatment knows no failures , is devoid of danger , restores strenglh to frames debilitated by disease , and imparts vigour to the nervous centres , however much shaken by repeated illnesses . —[ Advt . ]
