mourning , on account of the recent death of P . M . Bro . Detkins , to which ^ most feeling allusion was made by P . M . Bro . Shujewski adverting to the kindly feeling evinced towards the Brethren b y their deceased Brother . He was one of the earliest members of the Lodge , and had passed through the various offices leading to the Chair in a manner to reflect the highest credit on himself and the Lodge . After passing the Chair , instead of retiring from active duty , which is usual , Bro . Detkins proffered his services to the Brethren as Secretary , the office being vacant through unavoidable circumstances , which was gratefully accepted and held by the lamented Brother until it pleased the Great Architect to call him to that undiscovered country from wdiich no traveller returns . It was further stated that his
almost sudden death had left a widow and six children totally unprovided for . It was proposed and seconded that the sum of five guineas '' should be handed to the widow from the Lodge funds , for the present necessity , nntil arrangements for farther assistance could be made . Bro . Paas kindly undertook the office of Secretary , without the usual privileges attending that office , for which he was thanked by the Brethren . An excellent banquet was provided by tlje proprietor of the Freemasons' Tavern ; the members separating early , dispensing with the hilarity usual to this Lodge , in consequence of the circumstance above referred to .

of Bro . G-eorge Duke , the passing of Bros . Stroud , Driver , and Willis , and the initiation of Mr . Alfred Folkes , the whole of the ceremonies being ably worked
by the W . M ., assisted by a very competent staff of Officers . At the conclusion of business , the Brethren sat down to a banquet of a more than usually recherche character , personally superintended by Bro . Todd , the worthy host of the tavern , whose restoration to health was the subject of great gratification to the members present . The usual loyal and Masonic toasts were received with a kindly and unanimous feeling , which reflected great praise , whilst the introduction of them was given in a style which the W . M . of this Lodge has made peculiarly his own ;
the generous sentiments he expressed in favour of the individuals selected , and his deserving eulogiums on the character of the much-esteemed nobleman , the Deputy Grand Master , served to exhibit the honest intensity of his feelings , and rendered , if possible , each toast more acceptable to the Brethren of the Lodge . In the course of the evening , Bro . Edward Cox , with the permission of the W . M ,, proposed the health of the Brethren passed that evening , paying to each a welltimed compliment ; the health of the initiate having been in due course proposed by the W .

demeanour of candidates during their terms of probation , and descanted at some length upon the excellencies and privileges of Freemasonry , as tending to improve the morals of the human race , and at the same time to mollify and tone down the acerbities and short-comings of society .
