The brethren present on the occasion were as follows : —W . Rule , P . G . Purst ., H . Bradley , W . Hawkins , D . Scurr , W . Gilchrist , Geo . FoxJ . KobottomR . E . Swyerand HCocksThe visitors

M . 812 ; G Griffiths , J . D . 112 ; T . Tuustall , 23 ; G . Davis , 87 ; G . Davy , 78 ; G . S . Ayres , 112 ; J . H . Carter , 1200 ; J . G . Stevens , 812 ; C . B . Payne , G . Tyler , W . M ., 29 ; W . J . Harris , W . M ., 33 ; W . Lehmann , Independent Royal Arch Lodge , No . 2 , New York ; O . C .

Day ; John Birtwhistle , P . M ., 5 ; S . Millis , 745 ; and C . H . Murr , W . M ., 745 . The ceremony of consecration was most ably performed by Bro . David Ross Farmer , G . Purst ., who , although suffering from ill heath , acquitted himself with his usual facility . Bro . Saqui rendered good service in performing the music most effectively . There wasa very large number of installedMasterswithwhom Bro .
Bradley is a deserved favourite at present , ancl the Board having been formed he was installed the first W . M . of the Doric Lodge ( No . 1235 ) , and warmly complimented on his attainment of that position . After the board had been closed , the W . M . was pleased to appoint and invest his officers as follows . W . Hawkins . S W D . Scurr , J . W . ; W . Gilchrist , S . D . ; G . Fox , J . D . ; James Robottom , I . G . ; R . E . Swyer , Treas . ; and W . Rule . P . G . Purst . Secretary .
The W . M . then proceeded to initiate Messrs . Henry Fletcher , John Cocks , and Aaron Freysdadt ; to the latter the whole ceremony had to be interpreted by Bro . Lehmann . It is quite unnecessary to say that Bro . Bradley and his officers were letter perfect—as it is the intention of the lodge to look for the highest amount of perfection in working from each of its officers . The lodge was shortly afterwards closed .
Most of the furniture of the new lodge has been presented by various brethren , and it is chaste in design and elegant in appearance . The lodge room is a very handsome apartment , and , when fitted up for lodge purposes , is both roomy , airy , and convenient . Indeed , the members of the Doric Lodge may be very warmly congratulated on having found so capital a home , and made the best of it . The banquet was an excellent one , and too much praise cannot be awarded to Bro . 11 . Cocks for the really pleasant viands and wholesome wine furnished to the lodge . After the removal of the cloth , Bro . BBADLEX , W . M ., rose to
old shoulders . He admitted they were almost entirely ignorant of Masonry , but they hoped tokno . v more of it . He supposed it was a society having for its object to promote social intercourse and bring friends together . For the cordial reception they had met with he returned thanks . The W . M . had to propose the health of the visitors . Nothing tended more to diffuse the principles of the Craffc than to find brethren visiting each other ' s lodges . The Doric Lodge would
always be happy to see visiting brethren , and he hoped they would all go away certain that they had . formed a lodge both able and willing to work . He coupled the toast with Bro . Stuart ' s name . Bro . SIUAET felt a difficulty in returning thanks for so many distinguished brethren , but he supposed he had been called upon to reply because he had long enjoyed the W . M . ' s personal friendship . He was proud to see the W . M . in that position
, one to which he was fully entitled , for no more enthusiastic Mason existed , and his strict attention to his duties was worthy of all praise . His S . W ., Bro . Hawkins , was an equally able seconder , and the W . M . ' s remarks upon investing each powerful ancl simple . He was surprised ancl thankful that the east end of London had got such a bright particular star , and the visitors all joined in the hope that the example of Bro . Bradley would be carried out in ihe Doric Lodge for many
years to come . Bro . D . R . FAEMEE , G . Purst ., was pleased that he had the honour to propose " The health of the first W . M . of the lodge , " for he knew him to be a hard-working , zealous , and energetic Mason , with whom he had himself toiled—or , rather , worked with pleasure—day by day and night by night . He trusted that the example of the W . M . would prove a strong incentive to all ; indeed , he might say the S . W . was equally indefatigable
and deserving . He then concluded by proposing the health of Bro . Bradley , the first W . M . of Lodge No . 1253 . Bro . BEADLEY , W . M ., in rising to acknowledge the toast , said he was afc a loss how to express his gratitude . The formation of a new lodge was attended with considerable difficulties , and if he had at first known them he thought he should have been deterred from undertaking it ; yet the cordiality with which he had been supported sweetened his labour , and the cooperation of his officers showed that they , equally with
himo-ive the first toast of the evening , the Queen ancl the Craffc . This was followed hy the health of the M . W . G . M ., the Earl of Zetland ; and which was succeeded , in . turn , hy that of the R . W . D . G . M ., the Earl de Grey and Ripon , ancl the rest of the present and past Grand Officers , coupling the same with the name of their esteemed Bro . Farmer , G . Purst . They had all seen the admirable way in which he had performed the cereof consecration that daynotwithstanding his state of
mony , health . It was owing to Bros . Farmer and Stuart that he ( Bro . Bradley ) had been made to understand what Freemasonry was . He then proposed the toast , coupling it with Bro . Farmer ' s name . Bro . D . R . FAEMEE , G . Purst ., said it afforded him great pleasure to return thanks for the Grand Officers for the first time in that lodge , and he hoped that for many years to come that niht

He was sure the Grand Officers had but one wish , which was to be of service to the Craft ; ancl that they had amongst them brethren of ability was evidenced by the able advocacy cf their DGMat the last Grand Lodgewhen his lordship most
... , eloquently pleaded for the distressed operatives in Lancashire . It was usual for votes of money to stand over for three months for confirmation , but Bro . Tomkins , the G . Treas ., to show his appreciation of the object and his desire that the Craft should stand well in the sight of the world , had offered and paid in tho money at once .
