was held on Monday last at the Loughborough Arms Hotel , Brixton , and was very fully attended . Comp . Stevens , M . E . Z .. exalted Bro , Oxford , AA . M . of Lodge No . 72 , and also Bro . H . Smith , of Lodge , No . 902 , the ceremonies being worked by all concerned with great accuracy and precision .

due on account of the beautiful furniture and decorations entirely discharged .

' s above-named . After the closing of the convocation the companions sat down to banquet , when the usual loyal and Royal Arch toasts were given . The health of the M . E .
