CAPE OF GOOD HOPE . British Lodge ( No . 419 ) . —The members of this Lodge did justice to their feelings on Wednesday , August 20 , by the presentation of a very handsome and suitable testimonial to their Brother John King , who has long devoted his energies in support of Masonry in this city . Bro . King is well up to the Masonic formularies , and has been the chief instructor to the newly-created Brethren , and has thereby lent invaluable assistance to the British Lodge . He has himself

acquired all " the honours" that can be conferred in this colony . It would be difficult to enumerate all the good services that Bro . King has rendered the Lodge , if we may judge by the manner in which he is spoken of by those who have had the best opportunity of benefiting by his ministrations in the Temple . The British Lodge is at this moment in a thriving and prosperous condition ; Masonry is popular here , and Masons are therefore , as a matter of course , in an exceedingly happy and liberal mood , and there is no way they could have given better expression to their feelings than by doing honour to their best and most tried friend and

Brother . The testimonial consisted of a very handsome portrait of Bro . King , painted by Bro . Eimahl . The likeness is most perfect , and the painting altogether reflects great credit on the artist . The portrait is to hang in the Lodge . For Bro . King ' s own use was presented , also , a very handsome jewel of fine gold , studded with a brilliant ruby and sapphire , and bearing an appropriate inscription . Bro . Russell , Master of the Lodge , in a very neat and appropriate speech , presented the jewel , with the following testimonial , signed by thirty-eight members : —

Cape Town , 1856 . Dear Sir and Brother , —We the undersigned , Chiefs , Officers , and Companions of the British Royal Arch Chapter , and the Masters , Officers , and Brethren of the British Lodge , 419 , of South Africa , have great pleasure in presenting you with a slight testimonial of our esteem and regard , in consequence of your long and faithful services to our Chapter and Lodge , for a period of seventeen years , during which time you have held office . With your permission we wish to place your portrait in the Lodge .

The Past Principal ' s gold jewel , with which we now present you , we trust yon may live long to wear . It will be gratifying to your feelings to see the large portion of the Brethren who have subscribed to this testimonal , showing the esteem in which you are held , both by the Chiefs and Companions of the Chapter , as well as by the Master , Officers , and Brethren of the Blue , Lodge . —With fraternal and true Masonic feelings , We beg to subscribe ourselves , Dear Sir and Brother ,

In doing so , he described the services which Mi \ King had rendered , and assured Lim that he had the sincere respect of every member of tho Lodge . Bro . King replied as follows : —Worshipful Master , Companions , and ' . Brethren .
