still a good fund in hand . Bro . Ireland was an excellent Mason , and in addition to performing the duties of Secretary and Treasurer to the Lodge , was always ready to afford instruction to the Brethren . At the same time that they presented the testimonial to Bro . Ireland , they must not forget his worthy wife , who always did everything in her power to promote the happiness and comfort of the Masonic visitors to the house . The W . M . then handed a handsome silver cigar case to- Bro . Ireland , bearing the following inscription : — " Presented to Bro . Charles Ireland , as Hon . Treas . and Sec . of the Jubilee Lodge of Instruction , No . 85 , by
its members , m testimony of their sincere personal regard , and high appreciation of his valuable services . " Mrs . Ireland having been introduced into the room , was also presented with a silver cream-ewer , on which was engraved : — "Presented to Mrs . Charles Ireland , by the members of the Jubilee Lodge of Instruction , No . 85 , as a mark of their esteem , and in acknowledgment of her unceasing kindness and considerate attention . " Mrs . Ireland having thanked the company for the handsome present ; , retired , and the health of Bro . Ireland and his wife , wishing them long life and happiness , was drunk with loud applause . Bro . Ireland returned thanks , and assured the Brethren that neither himself nor his wife
could have expected to receive such a kind mark of appreciation and respect . In the course of his life he had received many testimonials , but none which he should so highly honour and preserve as those which they had been pleased to present to himself and wife that evening—and he could only say that it would be their utmost endeavour , at all times , to make the Brethren as happy and comfortable as possible . A variety of other toasts were drunk , and the evening brought
to a happy termination . In the course of the evening , portraits were exhibited of Bros . Adams and Ireland , attired in their Masonic clothing . They have been executed through the collodion process , by those rising 3 'oung artists , Bros . Collis and Warren of the Strand , and well deserved the high consideration they received from the Brethren .
