CAMBBIDGESHIBE . CAMBEiuaE . —Scientific Lodge ( No . 105 ) . —The usual meeting of the above most flourishing Lodge was held on the 12 th ult ., for the purpose of installing the new W . M ., Bro . the Bev . A . R . Ward , M . A ., St . John ' s College , who had been appointed to that office at the previous meeting , for the third time in four years . Additional interest was also felt from the fact of the Brov . G . M . having appointed Bro . Ward as D . Brov . G . M . in the place of the late Bro . H . F . Rowe .

About one o ' clock Bro .

G . M . of this province , I would thank you most sincerely for the very kind manner in which you have received me . The post which I now occupy was , on the lamented death of our esteemed friend Bro . Rowe , offered to P . M .
Baxter . I myself personally waited on that Brother , and tried to induce him to accept the same , but in vain . Our Brov . G . M . then offered it to me , and I have accepted it , with every intention of performing the duties of that office to the best of my ability . Towards the brethren of this Scientific Lodge I must always feel every sentiment of gratitude and affection . It is the Lodge in which I was initiated , in which I have filled many offices—twice that of Master—and you have again shown 3 'our confidence in me by electing me to the chair again . But I must not forget that there are ' other sheep not of this fold , ' other Lodges which equally
I am bound to look after . I hope , however , that whenever I may be called upon , I may act with justice and impartiality towards all . Lastly , Brethren , I hope you will understand the difference between my visiting you in my public capacity of D . Brov . G . M . of this province , and in my private one as a member of this Lodge . Occasionally I hope to visit you in the former capacity , often , I trust , in the latter . Brethren , one and all , I thank you . " Bro . Ward then vacated the chair , and the procession having been re-formed , he quitted the Lodge amidst the applause of the Brethren ; the proceedings throughout having been of a most
interesting nature . Shortly afterwards , Bro . Ward returned into the Lodge , and other business being concluded , was presented to the Installing Master as the Brother on whom the choice of the Brethren had fallen as W . M . for the year ensuing . The installing work was performed most beautifully by Bro . Baxter , B . M . B . Z . On the re-admission of the Brethren , the W . M . proceeded to elect his Officers for the year ensuing , as follows : —Bro . Gully ( fellow of King ' s Coll . ) S . W . ; Westmorland ( fellow of Jesus Coll . ) J . W . ; F . B . Hall , S .
