The ceremony of installation was then completed , the addresses being given by Bro . Cunningham in a most impressive manner . Several candidates were proposed for advancement at the next lodge , which it is expected will be held upon an early day for the purpose of relieving the
pressure of business consequent on so many Masons being desirous of entering the Order . Votes of thanks were especially given to those brethren who had rendered aid in establishing the lodge . Shortly afterwards the members and visitors ,
to tlie number of between 30 and 40 , sat down to banquet , the W . M . again presiding . The usual loyal and Masonic toasts were given . Bro . Binckes , in responding for the present and past Grand Officers , referred to the fact that the R . W . Earl Percy , Most Worshipful Grand Master
Elect , would be installed as Grand Master of the Order at the Grand Lodge to be held in London , on 'Tuesday , June 3 rd next . He also congratulated the members of the lodge on the fact of their having present so many Past Grand Officers , men who hael taken a deep interest in the welfare of this particular degree , and who had
done so much towards the great success of this lodge . He likewise entered at some length into an instructive explanation respecting the degree , which must have made a deep impression upon the younger iiu nibers present ; and specially impressed upon them that it was ihe only degree in universal Freemasonry which

insisted on a due allegiance to the Craft Grand Lodge of England , by compelling every candidate to prove himself worthy of admittance to the degree by first proving himself to be a Master Mason . He concluded by stating that many Craft Masons holding positions of importance
were assisting in promoting the degree ; the R . W ., the Earl of Carnarvon , the Deputy Grand Master of England , had been one of the Grand Masters of this Order . The Rev . G . Richards , in responding to a toast with which his name had been associated ,
expressed the pleasure he felt in leaving the quiet retreat in Hertfordshire , now the place of his sojourn , to mix once more and work in harmony with those brethren of the Province of Sussex with whom , in former times , he had worked so happily , more particularly was this
tbe case to-day in meeting the Masons of Hastings on an occasion so important , as he considered it was in the best interests of Freemasonry that the " Mark Degree " should be practised , and concluded by a graceful allusion to his friendship for the W . M ., whom he was
proud to lmd occupying so important a post as tlie first Master of a new Mark lodge . The W . M . specially proposed the health of Bro . Sabine , and , in doing so , referred to the valuable assistance which he and the other members of the Royal Sussex Lodge , No . 75 ,
had given him . Bro . Sabine briefly responded , adverting to the fact that although the lodge that day established was the second in the county of Sussex , another lodge had been applied for and the warrant granted ; this , the " Southdown Lodge , No .
164 , " would be opened in the course of a fewweeks at the Station Hotel , Hayward ' s Heath ( Bro . Golding ' s ) . He had also no doubt that efforts would be made before long to accommodate the Mark Masons residing at Eastbourne and neighbourhood ; and in all probability , if
not this year , at any rate early in the ensuing year , another Mark lodge would be applied for , to hold its meetings in the western part of Brighton . With regard to the formation of the Sussex Mark lodges into a province , the preliminary steps had alread y been taken , and it
was within the bounds of posibility that early in the approaching autumn the Provincial Grand Mark Lodge of Sussex would be inaugurated . Various other toasts were proposed and responded to . The after-dinner proceedings were
marked with a succession of capital speeches , characterised by a determination to uphold the cause , and to spread the principles of Mark Masonry in Sussex ; and the brethren separated shortly before eleven o ' clock , thoroughly satisfied with the remarkable success which had attended
the establishment of the East Sussex Lodge of Mark Master Masons , No . 166 on the register of the Grand Mark Lodge , of England and Wales .
