BRO . R . BOWDLER SHARI'K . The toast of "The King" having been duly honoured , that of " The Grand Officers " followed , and was responded to by Bro . the Rev . Canon Brownrigg , P . G . C ., and Bro .

Archdeacon Sinclair , P . G . C ., the latter remarking that all Grand Officers were glad to be at the board of the Savage Club Lodge , wherein he recognised the home of science , literature and art . Bro . E . Peacock , I . P . AI ., in giving the toast of "The Worshipful Master , " said he recognised in Bro . Bowdler

Sharpe a brother who he knew would continue the high traditions of the lodge ; he was a distinguished man of science and yet a modest brother ; he had been the means of adding to the national collection some 50 , 000 different species of birds , and he felt sure it would not be long before he would receive some appropriate award . He considered the lodge was to be congratulated in having so distinguised a brother

at its head . The Worshipful Alaster , in replying , stated that no more interesting moment in a man's life occurs than to find himself installed in the chair of his mother lodge . He also said that the flattering terms in which the I . P . M . had been pleased to speak of him contained some substratum of truth , but the

quiet work of an officer of the British Aluseum did not affect the world at large very much . He gave some reminiscences of his early experiences , when , although misfortune had often overtaken him , he had never allowed it to upset him or alter his determination ; he , therefore , looked back with feelings

of anything but regret to the day when he was initiated . The Worshipful Master then proceeded to give the toast of " The Installing Master and Past Alasters of the Lodge , " and spoke of the beautiful way in which the I . P . M . had done his work , and it was with feelings of great pleasure that he then pinned on his breast a Past Alaster ' s jewel .

The I . P . M . replied , and very warmly thanked the brethren for the jewel . Bro . W . E . Chapman , P . M ., P . A . G . D . C , in responding , said he trusted the year dawning upon the lodge would be one of the brightest as vet on record . Bro . W . J . Fisher , P . M ., in a speech of some little length , regretted the unquestionable ( although lie was glad to say slow ) diminishing strength of the lodge , and hoped the

brethren would do all in their power to keep up its numerical standard ; he went on to speak in eulogistic terms of Bro . Chapman , who they were all glad to see back again in the lodge after having taken such an active part in the siege of Kimberley , and he was happy to announce that he had just received a communication from the War Office , in which

they intimated that together with about half a score other war correspondents , the name of Bro . Chapman had been selected as one of the recipients for the South African medal in recognition of his valued service . The toast of "The Visitors" was most ably responded to by Bro . J . E . Bowen , D . P . G . AI . Bucks , and the Worshipful

Alasters of the Gallery and Eccentric Lodges . The toast of "The Officers" and the Ty ler ' s toast followed , bringing a most successful evening—which was enlivened by an enjoyable entertainment given by the prominent artiste brethren of the lodge—to a close .
