M ., and other business . Bro . Riccard was ballotted for and elected as a joining member ; Bro . Spicer , surgeon , was duly raised to the Sublime Degree of a M . M . ; after which the Brethren proceeded to instal Bro . Binford , who had been elected W . M . by the unanimous vote of the members , this being the third
time the honour has been conferred upon him . The ceremonies were performed by Bro . Galliford , in his usual effective style . The W . M . then elected Bro . W . Oram , S . W ., and Bro . J . A . Kingdon , J . W . ; Bro . Cole , S . D . ; Davy , J . D . ; and Spicer , I . G . ; and delivered suitable addresses to each officer on investing him . The Lodge was then adjourned to the following day for the banquet , which was got up by the stewards , Bros . Cole and Adams , in first-rate style . Bros . Roe and Ca-rwithen ( 312 ) , attended as visiting Brethren ; Bro . Carwithen officiciating as Chaplain . A very pleasant and harmonious evening was spent .
Plymouth . — The Newcomhe Testimonial . —The Masonic movement , in recognition of Bro . Newcombe ' s humane and disinterested conduct in reference to the unfortunate Mdle . Julie , whose death , it will be remembered , was occasioned by the disastrous accident at the theatre , was as successful as his most ardent supporters could have desired . The demonstration was as creditable to the good taste and feeling of the Brotherhood as it was gratifying to the respected gentleman who was the object of this cordial and unanimous mark of esteem and approbation .
The house , we heed scarcely observe , was crowded to excess in every part , and very many persons were unable to gain admittance . On no occasion has the interior of this well-conducted establishment presented a scene of a more gay ani animated character than on the evening of the 24 th Jan ., when members of the honourable Craft and fellow-townsmen alike united in doing honour to the respected lessee . The night ' s receipts , we believe , exceeded £ 100 ; and the testimonial to be presented to Mr . Newcombe will , no doubt , be of a character which
will do credit to the good taste of the Praternity . Some mention has been made of a silver inkstand and a purse of money ; but we have reason to believe , that the choice has not yet been decided upon . Some design in silver—emblematical of the drama , with the insignia of the ancient and honourable Order of Freemasonry , would be appropriate ; but whatever it may be , it will be well worthy of the acceptance of the recipient . Mr . Newcombe , on his part , has spared no effort or expense in carrying out the arrangements and decoration of the house in a manner
which speaks well for his taste and judgment . The entertainment commenced with Morton ' s comedy of " Secrets worth knowing , " which was aptly chosen , and the title appropriate to the occasion .
