M ., who , on this occasion , certainly surpassed himself . Bro . Valentine Neucatt , late of No . 185 , w as elected a joining member . Labour being ended , the Brethren retired to supper . During supper they were enlivened ( as they had been annoyed during labour ) by a Terpsichorean assemblage in the regions below . On December 9 , there was a full meeting , but no work done .

These beautiful ornaments were presented to the Lodge by Bro . G . J . Gilbard . Certainly this Lodge-room and appointments are , without dispute , the most chaste and complete in the province , with the exception of the more elaborate and ornate display at Barnstaple . The only thing that jarred on our constitutional nerves was the reception of Bro . Neucatt without his clearing-off certificate from the Lodge be had left .
