Special Meeting for the purpose of presenting their parent lodge —( No . 58 ) the Queen's Own , —whose members had been invited to attend , —with an address on their
departure for New Zealand . The success which attended the hail , the banquet , and the cricket match , was also visible on this occasion . Over sixty members , with those of the Queen's Own , attended , the latter including Bros . Colonels AA addy and Hainley , Dr . Fraser , King , Leach , Eden , Goldsmith , and AA orthington , besides a few visiting brethren . After two ceremonies of initiation and other general business had been disposed of

Colonel AA addy .
" The Sphinx Lodge ( No . 107 ) , Colombo , Ceylon . "At a meeting of this lodge , held on tbe 29 th August , 1863 , it was resolved , on the motion of Bro . Henry Law Maydwell , P .

desire to record their deep sense of gratitude for the valuable assistance afforded by Bro . AA addy , P .

They were about ( added the AA . M . ) to quit these quiet , peaceful shores , where they had dwelt for six years , for a land where all was conflict and confusion . It was possible , nay probable , that some of their number might not escape from an attendant calamity of war ; but he ( the AA .

It was more pleasing to merit the compliment of theirs being the parent lodge of No .

She was indeed a worthy daughter , and they had good cause to be proud of her , and they would carry with them to that country , to which it was the pleasure of their Queen to order them ,-those fraternal feelings with appreciation and gratitude .
