he had conducted the duties for the past year , and which he had fully earned , having done his utmost to promote the interests of the chapter , and he was leaving the chair with the love and respect of all the companions . Letters were read from Comps . F . W . Williams , P . Z . ( one of the founders ) , Isaac Dunn , P . Z ., and S . W . Ballard , regretting inability to attend , but wishing the M . E . Z . and companions an enjoyable evening . The business of the chapter ended , the convocation vjas closed , after which the companions adjourned to an excellent banquet , which was supplied and personally superintended by Mrs . Venables , the proprietress , in her accustomed and capable manner .

The cloth removed , the M . E . Z . gave the first toast— " The King and Royal Arch Masonry" —which was the first time it had been given in the chapter . They all knew the excellent service his Majesty had rendered the Order while Prince of Wales and G . Z ., and they had evidence already of his Royal patronage as King and retaining the title of Protector of the Order . The toast was drunk most cordially .

The toast of "The Pro G . Z ., G . H ., G . J ., and the rest of the Grand Officers , Present and Past , " was next given , the M . E . Z . remarking all knew what excellent workers they were . It was to him a very great pleasure that the chapter was honoured with the presence of Comp . W . Scurrah , who had done an immense service in the cause of Freemasonry , and to know him was to love him . Bro . Scurrah had been a personal friendof the M . E . Z . for many years , and had given up a very important engagement in the country to support him upon that occasion , which act was most highly appreciated by the companions of the chapter .

In reply _ Comp . Scurrah , who was most cordially received , most heartily thanked the companions for their appreciation of the services of the Grand Officers , and especially to himself . The noblemen who were at the head of the Order were brethren of such great ability , and ever ready to bestow their time for the good of the cause , so the Grand Ofiicers below them one and all endeavoured to their utmost to try and follow in such worthy footsteps . He had intended to go into the country on a visit , but his presence at the Rose Chapter was on account of one great fact which was very near to his heart , the great respect and affection he had for the M . E . Z ., whom he had initiated

into Freemasonry , and had always found him one of the truest-hearted Misons he had met anywhere . It was also a great pleasure to see his excellent working , as also that of Comp . Wm . Dawson , P . Z ., in fact it was a treat to listen to the admirable working of the whole of the exaltation ceremony . He also spoke of the friendly re lations that existed with other worthy companions in the chapter as Comps . G . Thompson , J . Loader , P . Z . j S . J . Derham , P . Z . j and T . R . Cass , I . P . Z . He again most cordially thanked them for the great treat he had had , and the pleasure it had given him to be present , also for their very kind hospitality , which he trusted to be spared to enjoy upon many future occasions .

Comp . T . R . Cass , I . P . Z ., in very forcible remarks , said the resumption of the emblem of power temporarily was to invite the companions to drink most heartily to "TheHealth of the M . E . Z . " Comp . Scurrah , in his reply , had said he honoured the M . E . Z . for his manifold virtues , and the companions of the Rose Chapter had chosen such an one to be their head . Comp . Cass , I . P . Z ., had not known the M . E . Z . so long

as Comp . Scurrah , but he could testify to the character of the M . E . Z ., and from his brilliant record they were proud to see him in that position in the Rose Chapter . He ( Comp . Cass ) most earnestly promised to support the M . E . Z ., and he felt that the companions would exert themselves and bring him worthy brethren for exaltation , as the I . P . Z . had bequeathed a most brilliant band of officers . The toast was most enthusiastically drunk .

The M . E . Z ., in a highly exhaustive and intellectual reply , said hc had a most difficult task , that of responding in his own behalf . The toast had been most ably presented , for which hc tendered his heartfelt thanks . He was no orator , but he intended to'do his very best for the chapter . He trusted the year would be a happy one indeed , and whatever work was brought would be performed to the best of his ability . He was proud of his position , felt perfectly at home with them , and he hoped thc companions would ever look to him as a friend , and so long as that friendship and love existed with the M . E . Z . in thechair , so would the years indeed be happy . He again most cordially thanked them .

_ The M . E . Z . next presented the toast of "The II . and J . " in eulogistic terms , which was most ably responded to by Comps . Jeffery , H ., and G . Thompson , J . That of "The Exaltee" was next proposed by the M . E . Z ., who stated he had excellent sponsors , and from the rapt attention paid he was convinced he would become enamoured of the beautiful ritual . Comp . Swailes most suitably and gratefully responded .

Comp . G . H . Lewis , M . E . Z ., most cordially , and in very appreciative terms , proposed the toast of " The Visitors , " which was ably replied to by Comps . Cureton , Stone , and Cornford . The toast of "The Past Principals" received at the hands of the M . E . Z . that meed of praise it so richly deserved . He remarked of Comp . T . R . Cass , I . P . Z ., that the year just expired had been one of the most pleasant ever spent in the chapter . The

I . P . Z . had excelled himself during the year beyond all expectation , and in the name of the chapter it gave the M . E . Z . much gratification in presenting the P . Z . 's jewel to Comp . T . R . Cass , so unanimously voted him , and which was so richly deserved , and trusted that the Most High would long spare him tc look upon that token of their esteem , and a memento of the excellent services he had rendered to the Rose Chapter . The M . E . Z . also paid a high tribute to Comps . Loader , Derham , P . Z ., and Dawson . P . Z .

In reply , Comp . T . R . Cass , I . P . Z ., greatly appreciated the kind words said of him . He had performed the duties to the best of his ability , but he was constrained to do so as he had had such a splendid object lesson from his worthy predecessor . He most heartily thanked the companions for the handsome jewel presented him , and assured them that his work was not yet finished , but he should continue to assist to his

utmost in the future work of the chapter . He should look upon that jewel as a symbol of their respect , and he trusted he should long be spared to wear it , and see the companions in the chapter performing their various duties in the same excellent manner as they had been carried out that evening . Comps . Loader and Derham also most ably replied .

The M . E . Z . next presented the toast of "Comps . Treasurer and S . E ., and the Ofiicers of the Chapter" in eulogistic terms , which was duly responded to .
