It was not every lodge , nay indeed , there were very few lodges in the Craft , that presented a perfect record like this lodge , and he scarcel y knew one that had added to the mere record of events in Masonry matters like those he had called attention to , which gave a life and a real interest to the dry minutes of ordinary proceedings . And now he would turn to the present . He would venture

to now offer to the brethren the hearty congratulations of the Grand Officers and visitors on the position of the lodge , on the numerous gathering , and the Masonic spirit which animated it . They were met on an occasion which was rare in the annals of Freemasonry , when , with a light heart and an easy voice , Bro . Col . Shadwell Clerke talked about these incidents getting common ( well , for him lo celebrate a hundredth birthday might not be a rare

occurence , but for him ( Bra . Philbrick ) it was , for he felt the honour of the occasion , and that it was worthy of remark ); and when he saw this great gathering , and witnessed the interest the brethren took in the proceedings , he felt that it was no common subject of interest thathad brought the brethren together . They were met to wish prosperity to the lodge , and to congratulate it upon the hundredth year of its existence . They hoped also that it would celebrate

the bi-centenary , which had already been indicated . Long might it Continue to cherish the true principles of Freemasonry , and to have worthy Masons belonging to it ; long might it recruit its members from men who would do justice to it , and in time rise up to administer its concerns with faithfulness and fidelity ; long might its success be great , and long might its prosperity continue . Bro . G . EVERETT , P . M . and Treas ., responded , and said

to be the mouthpiece of the lodge was an honour , and he thanked the brethren heartily and cordially for the way they had received the toast . It was a great day in the lodge ' s history . On the occasion of the attainment of the 1 ooth year of the lodge ' s existence it could not be but gratifying to the feelings of all concerned , especially to those who had been so many years connected with it as were those on his right , to go into the lodge history . In

December a hundred yea's ago the lodge met at a small housethe Ship , in Little Turnstile . Only Operative Masons could belong to it . During the first year of its existence two persons were proposed as joining members who were not Operative Masons . In 17 S 7 , the second year of the lodge ' s existence , the lodge was not opened on one night because the landlady was sick . On another occasion , in 1792 , one Adams , Esq , applied for relief , and was relieved to the

extent of 8 s . 2 d . The lodge from time to time removed from one house to another , till it got to the Green Dragon , Fleetstreet , to the Falcon , in Fetter-lane , where it was held for 20 years , and where he ( Bro . Everett ) becameamember in 1 S 55 . It afterwards went to Anderton ' s Hotel , -vhere it had been for the last 22 years , and where it had prospered . But of all this he did not propose to speak . The brethren would be able to read this for themselves . At the present time it

had 14 S members , and the lodge paid every year on an average £ 45 to Grand Lodge . For the last seven years they had voted 25 guineas to each ' of the Charities , and he hoped they would continue to be able to do so . In spite of all that they held themselves well . They had very much to be proud of , for all' this was done out of a subscription of two and half guineas a year . The WORSHIPFUL MASTER next proposed "The

Initiates . " Bros . R . WILLIAMS , T . H . HOBHS , J . ANLEY , and ELLIOTT responded . Bro . FOULGER , P . M ., proposed " The Visitors . " Bro . Gen . LAURIE , G . M . of Nova Scotia , in responding , said that 32 years ago he was initiated in Lodsre No . 176 , so that he was not a stranger to this jurisdiction , as that lodge was under the Grand Lodge of England . He then

thanked the lodge for having given his son the Degree . He could have given him a dispensation for having his Three Degrees before leaving Nova Scotia ; but he thought it would not be right to allow any ties of blood to interfere with the usual course . The WORSHIPFUL MASTER next proposed "The Past Masters , " 13 of whom were present . They were always numerous , and they always endeavoured to be of service to

the lodge . There were no less than 101 members of the lodge present , which was an extraordinary coincidence on the loothyearof the lodge existence ; 100 gave one for each year , and there was one over for the ensuing year . Bro . W . F . SMITH responded . Bro . E . WHITE , P . M ., proposed "The Treasurer and Secielary , " both of whom had worked very hard , and with a great deal of energy , to promote the welfare of the lodge

on all occasions , and he referred to the fact that there were 148 members of the lodge to show what a great deal oi work there must be for those ollicers . Bros . EVERETT and MORRIS responded . Bro . HERnAGB , P . M ., proposed " The Officers , " and said that there was a succession of good officers . No brother accepted office who did not feel himself bound to attain proficiency . If this continued thc prestige of the lodge

must be maintained . The S . W . and Bro . SPURRELL , D . C , responded , and the Tyler ' s toast closed the proceedings . During the evening some excellent singing was given , under the direction of Bro . Riechelmann , by Madame Riechelmann and Bros . VV . F . Packer and Franklin Clive . The arrangements for the comfort of the brethren and

the success of the festival were unexceptionable , and reflected the greatest credit on Bro . J . E . Spurrell , D . C ., and acting W .
