UKADON LODGE ( So . 902 . )—The anniversary and installation meeting of this Lodge was held on Wednesday evening , August 20 th , at the Star and Garter Hotel , Kew Bridge . Bro . Edward Seaman , W . M ., presided , supported by his officers , Bros . Blackburn , Potter , and Avery , P . M . s , and a large body of visitors . The Lodge having been duly opened and the minutes read , tho W . M . passed Bros . Taylor , Cooke , Drake , and Clarke , to the second degree . The Lodge was then opened in the third degree ,

and the W . M . in a most able manner raised Bros . Clarke , Garland , and W . Seaman to the sublime degree of M . M . The W . M . then vacated the chair , which was taken by Bro . Alfred Avery , P . M ., and Bro . Quelch , the Worshipful Master elect , was presented , the choice of the brethren having fallen upon him . Bro . Avery then proceeded to install Bro . Quelch into the chair of K . S . as W . M . for the ensuing year , and seldom has that important ceremony been performed in a more able manner than on

this occasion , tho several addresses being delivered in a style which elicited unanimous approbation . The W . M . then appointed his officers as follows : —Bros . C . T . M . Bell , S . W . ; James AVilliam Avery , J . W . ; Septimus King , S . D . ; Richard May , J . D . ; Abraham Peter Lennard , I . G . ; W . F . Blackburn , Sec . ; and R . Parker , Dir . of Cers . The Lodge was then closed and the brethren adjourned for refreshment , which was served up in Bro . Kackstruw's best style . After the cloth was drawn , the W . M . gave the loyal and Masonic toasts , which were duly honoured . The health of the visitors was next proposed in very complimentary terms , for which Brn . Henry Thompson , J . W .

206 , returned thanks . The AV . M . said the next toast he should have the pleasure of proposing , was one that he was sure would be most acceptable to every brother present , and that was , "The Health of Bro . Seaman , their immediate P . M . " To dilate on the good qualities and virtues of Bro . Seaman , -which had been active rather than passive , would be superfluous on his part , for , during the twelve months which ho had occupied the chair , he seemed to have two

objects mainly in view—one was the welfare of the Lodge , and tho other was the comfort of the brethren . How he had performed them he would tell them as briefly as he could , as time pressed upon them ; and he might say that never since the establishment of the Beadon Lodge had they had so many members , or so large a surplus in hand . That spoke well for the welfare of the Lodge ; and as to the comfort ; of the brethren , by his undeviating kindness and courtesy , he had only to ask the

members how well he had succeeded . Therefore , it was to him ( tho AV . M . ) a great pleasure to propose " The Health of Bro . Seaman : " but he had a still greater pleasure in presenting him with the jewel which had been voted to him by the Lodge for his special acceptance ; and it was with the utmost satisfaction that he then affixed it to his breast , trusting that lie might enjoy long life , health , and happiness to wear it . He then proposed " The Health of Bro . Seaman , P . M ., " which was drunk

with the utmost cordiality . ( The jewel is a very handsome one , and bore an appropriate inscription ) . —Bro . SEAMAN , P . M ., said , in rising to return thanks for the great compliment they had paid him , he knew no adequate terms to express his gratitude ,
