ANNUAL SUPPER OF THE ROSE LODGE OFINSTRUCTION . NO . 1622

The annual supper of the above lodge took place at the Stirling Castle Hotel , Church-street , Camberwell , on Thursday , the ioth inst ., under the able presidency of Bro . H . G . Martin , W . M . of the parent lodge , ably supported by Bros . D . Rose , Preceptor ; [ . Dunn ,

Treas . ; T . Grummant , Sec . ; C . H . Stone , Asst . Sec . ; F . Hilton , Loader , Kirby , W . Price , Derham , Lewis , Ballard , F . Williams , Edwards , Pullen , Dawson , Cowley , Hobley , Munson , Turner , Rice , Cass , Smith , R . Shears , Woodwell , Ruff , Channon , Cooke , Payne , Robinson , Geo . Mash , Head , Hayes , W . B . Salter , Stunt , Choveaux , Orton , Tilling , Pack , Cohen , Reap ,

Payten , Niblett , Cowen , P . H . Garner , Addington , Fisher , Broadway , F . Swinford , and Smith . The host , Bro . Woodwell , catered in excellent style . The toast of "Queen and Craft , " with that of " His Royal Highness the M . W . Grand Master , " were given and most loyally received , as was that of " The Grand Officers , " which likewise was well given and

responded to . The next toast was given by Bro . F . HILTON , P . M ., being that of " Bro . H . G . Martin , the President of the Evening , " who remarked that he felt great pride in proposing that toast as he had initiated him into Freemasonry and had watched his progress for a number of years . He had now attained the summit of his

ambition , and on that account presided over the present meeting , as it was the usual custom for the W . M . of the mother lodge to do so . All knew the excellent qualities of Bro . Martin , and the very great interest he took in Freemasonry , being first to the fore in every good object . In reply , Bro . MARTIN heartily thanked Bro . Hilton

for such flattering remarks . He felt it a great privilege , and it was a great pleasure to preside over such a lodge . He was thankful to Bro . Hilton for enabling him to fill such an office so honourably , as he was always most ready to assist him , and , in conclusion , thanked the brethren for so cordially receiving the toast . The next toast was " Success to the Rose Lodge of

Instruction . " The CHAIRMAN remarked the brethren were all indebted to their esteemed Bro . Rose , Preceptor , for the able manner he performed his duties , and he would say without fear of contradiction that the instruction gained was second to none in London .

Their Preceptor was always most ready to show any brother in such an excellent manner that he would not fail to be impressed . They one and all wished Bro , Rose every happiness and prosperity , hoping that he might be spared many years to carry out the same excellent duties .

In reply , Bro . ROSE most heartily thanked all for such kind sentiments , and felt that it was a matter of deep gratitude to the Great Architect that he was spared to see such a happy gathering once more . It was now the 19 th anniversary of the lodge of instruction , and he was grateful to all for such a generous support , especially that of the Past Masters . He might give two

potent reasons for such a prosperous lodge—1 st , as to the quality of working ; 2 nd , quality of members , who came with one grand object in view , viz ., that of performing the beautiful ceremonies in as perfect a manner as possible . Testimony of such had been given by provincial lodges , who on witnessing the working of certain brethren had remarked that was " Rose ' s

Brand . ' He was delighted to hear such expressions , for it was the outcome of earnest work , and the reason was in the fact that while the brethren were engaged in the lodge , there was no levity nor desultory conversation , but steady and real business carried on . He was a member of 34 lodges of instruction , but of none could he say was there such excellent work

done as here . But it was not only in having a Preceptor who could not alone command success , tor he was supported by such excellent officers in the Treasurer , Secretary , and Assistant Secretary that he was sure any lodge could not surpass such , for they were all most indefatigable . He would say that so long as he had such hearty support from all the brethren it would be his utmost desire to serve the lodge , and he

promised that while health and strength lasted the lodge might depend upon him . Before closing his remarks the Preceptor paid a high tribute to Bro . F . Hilton , P . M ., who gave his hearty support to the lodge , and especially was most valuable when the grand rehearsal of Fifteen Sections took place ; he was always in his position of S . W ., and performed his duties in a most exemplary manner . He trusted the lodge would still go on and prosper .

The toast of " The Visitors " was next given in very appropriate terms , and responded to in excellent style by Bro . EUWARUS , P . M . 2264 . The next toast the CHAIRMAN stated was of the utmost importance to any lodge— "The Treasurer , Secretary , and Assistant Secretary . " He was positive that there could be no more worthy nor indefatigable brethren in the discharge of their onerous duties , for all was done in such a graceful manner .

In reply , Bro . J . Di' . v . v , P . M ., 1622 , Treas ., thanked the brethren most heartily for so cordial a reception , and pledged himself to a faithful discharge of his duties . Bro . T . GHUHMMIT P . M ., Sec , rose and replied in his usual genial and forcible manner , stating it was

now the 12 th year he had responded to that toast , and of which he was proud , for he took it as a great honour . He would like to make . 1 few somewhat dry but important statistics with respect to the lodge for the past year . It had been opened 48 times , with attendances of 1401 , which gave an average of 20 , which , he

Annual Supper Of The Rose Lodge Ofinstruction.No.1622

thought , was an excellent result . He had taken pains with the following , viz ., that of the Past Masters , and he found that their attendances had been 352 , which gave an average of 7 . This , he remarked , was highly creditable , for it showed the deep interest taken in the lodge , as although many rest on their laurels , yet some were up and doing for their younger brethren . In concluding , Bro . Grummant stated that some of

the happiest moments of his life were spent there . He had never made any enemy , but lasting friends , and so long as the Great Architect spared him with health and strength , so wouid his energies be devoted for the benefit of such a distinguished lodge . Bro . STONE , J . W . 507 , Asst . Sec , followed with a few appropriate remarks , pledging himself so long as he was honoured with such a position , and under such worthy brother officers , he would emulate them to the utmost .

The toast of "The Host , Bro . Woodwell , " was given in high terms of praise and thanks . Bro . WOODWELL responded in remarks of great pleasure to do all he possibly could for the benefit and comfort of the brethren . A hearty vote of thanks was given to the following

artistes : Bros . W . Price , Stunt , Derham , Broadway , Hobley , J . Smith , Cohen , P . M ., and F . Swinford for gratifying with such deli ghtful harmony ; also to Bro . T . RufT , the energetic manager , for so ably carrying out his duties to enhance the comfort of the brethren .

Presentation At Nottingham.

PRESENTATION AT NOTTINGHAM .

On the evening of the 17 th instant a meeting of Masons of the various Nottingham lodges was held at the Masonic Hall , Nottingham , under the presidency of Bro . W . Selby , for the purpose of presenting Miss Simpson , eldest daughter of the late Bro . J . R . Simpson , with an album containing portraits of

several prominent local Freemasons , a jewel bangle , and a purse of gold , on the occasion of her 21 st birthday , as a mark of the high esteem and regard in which she is held among the brethren . The movement was initiated by Bro . Selby , who was heartily supported by a large numberof brethren . The presentation was made by Bro . SAMUEL G .

J OHNSON , I . P . M . of the Newstead Lodge , the mother lodge of the province , in a most able and eloquent manner . He referred to the long and happy connection the young lady ' s family had had with Masonry in Nottingham , and spoke of the life of Miss Simpson as an example of modesty , courtesy , and conduct . A programme of music was supplied by Bros . A . R . Watson , C . H . Whitehall , F . Wharton , E . Bartlett , W .

Gaskell , W . Smith , and others , in addition to which Bro . A . Aldam gave a very excellent and appropriate recitation . Bro . H . Woodhouse very kindly acted as accompanist .

Johnson for attending to make the presentation .

' He was delighted to hear such expressions , for it was the outcome of earnest work , and the reason was in the fact that while the brethren were engaged in the lodge , there was no levity nor desultory conversation , but steady and real business carried on . He was a member of 34 lodges of instruction , but of none could he say was there such excellent work

done as here . But it was not only in having a Preceptor who could not alone command success , tor he was supported by such excellent officers in the Treasurer , Secretary , and Assistant Secretary that he was sure any lodge could not surpass such , for they were all most indefatigable . He would say that so long as he had such hearty support from all the brethren it would be his utmost desire to serve the lodge , and he

promised that while health and strength lasted the lodge might depend upon him . Before closing his remarks the Preceptor paid a high tribute to Bro . F . Hilton , P . M ., who gave his hearty support to the lodge , and especially was most valuable when the grand rehearsal of Fifteen Sections took place ; he was always in his position of S . W ., and performed his duties in a most exemplary manner . He trusted the lodge would still go on and prosper .

The toast of " The Visitors " was next given in very appropriate terms , and responded to in excellent style by Bro . EUWARUS , P . M . 2264 . The next toast the CHAIRMAN stated was of the utmost importance to any lodge— "The Treasurer , Secretary , and Assistant Secretary . " He was positive that there could be no more worthy nor indefatigable brethren in the discharge of their onerous duties , for all was done in such a graceful manner .

In reply , Bro . J . Di' . v . v , P . M ., 1622 , Treas ., thanked the brethren most heartily for so cordial a reception , and pledged himself to a faithful discharge of his duties . Bro . T . GHUHMMIT P . M ., Sec , rose and replied in his usual genial and forcible manner , stating it was

now the 12 th year he had responded to that toast , and of which he was proud , for he took it as a great honour . He would like to make . 1 few somewhat dry but important statistics with respect to the lodge for the past year . It had been opened 48 times , with attendances of 1401 , which gave an average of 20 , which , he

thought , was an excellent result . He had taken pains with the following , viz ., that of the Past Masters , and he found that their attendances had been 352 , which gave an average of 7 . This , he remarked , was highly creditable , for it showed the deep interest taken in the lodge , as although many rest on their laurels , yet some were up and doing for their younger brethren . In concluding , Bro . Grummant stated that some of

the happiest moments of his life were spent there . He had never made any enemy , but lasting friends , and so long as the Great Architect spared him with health and strength , so wouid his energies be devoted for the benefit of such a distinguished lodge . Bro . STONE , J . W . 507 , Asst . Sec , followed with a few appropriate remarks , pledging himself so long as he was honoured with such a position , and under such worthy brother officers , he would emulate them to the utmost .

The toast of "The Host , Bro . Woodwell , " was given in high terms of praise and thanks . Bro . WOODWELL responded in remarks of great pleasure to do all he possibly could for the benefit and comfort of the brethren . A hearty vote of thanks was given to the following

artistes : Bros . W . Price , Stunt , Derham , Broadway , Hobley , J . Smith , Cohen , P . M ., and F . Swinford for gratifying with such deli ghtful harmony ; also to Bro . T . RufT , the energetic manager , for so ably carrying out his duties to enhance the comfort of the brethren .
