prominence , with promise of still higher importance . The installation of Brother Hugh P . Fuller , the Master elect , was ably conducted by Brothers Watson and Bigg , Past Blasters . In the course of the evening a most impressive oration was delivered by Brother Bigg , in which he adverted as justly as eloquently upon the Masonic character and attainments of the immediate Past-Master , Brother Watson .
LODGE OP AMITY , ( NO . 200 ) , Jan . 22 . —Brother R . Lea Wilson installed Brother John Chrees , to the great satisfaction of the Members . There were also three installations . The Master being also a member of the Frederick Lodge , Croydon , many of the Brethren from that district paid him a mark of respect by attending . By the way , these Surrey Masons are somewhat ubiquitous , and are ramifying the objects of Masonry . Their zeal is commendable .
MANCHESTER LODGE , NO . 209 , Jan . 17 . —Bro . J . L . Cooke was duly installed by Brother Geo . Aarons , as Master for the ensuing year . It is hardly necessary to state , that the ceremonial , in such able hands , lacked not in dignity or importance . The Lodge is visibly rising in numbers .
LODGE OF JOPPA , ( N O . 223 ) , Jan . 21 . —The installation of Brother Abraham Harris was attended by a numerous meeting of the Lodge , also by Brothers R . T . Crucefix , P . G . D ., G . P . Philipe , G . S . B ., Brother J . Lee Stevens , P . G . S ., Jas . Lee , W . M . No . 3 , and other visitors . Brother Harris was installed by Brother Philipe , and four additions made to the Lodge , three of whom were of the Jewish nation , in a very efficient manner . We shall not affect the well-known ability of the Installing Master
, by expressing regret that our curiosity was not gratified by the ceremonies having been performed by a Hebrew , and the more so as Brother Aarons was present . It appears that our Hebrew Brethren were desirous to pay a compliment to their Christian friends . Brother Henry chaunted grace before and after dinner ivith most admirable effect ; he was brief in the former , and in the latter was , perhapstoo elaboratebut his splendid voice and chaste execution
, , afforded the highest gratification . Brother Crucefix was entrusted with the toast to the " Master , " which he offered to the meeting in a very earnest address , enlarging upon the proof that an election , for the third time to a chair , sufficiently indicated the merits of Brother Plarris . He then entered into the peculiar position of the Lodge as'being composed of Jews in a Christian metropolis , reminding them of their powerful claim upon the lasting gratitude
of mankind , provided they ivould carry out into the fullest intention of their MAKER , the tenets of the Sacred Writings ; and concluding his address by some Masonic remarks , he proposed the health of the " Master of the Lodge of Joppa , " which was most cordially welcomed . Brother Plarris returned thanks , and expressed his determination to merit approbation by a faithful and conscientious discharge of his duty , by maintaining the honour of the Lodge and promoting the happiness of its members .
The services of Brother Lazarus were duly acknowledged : to the Lodge he is a faithful friend and steward , to visitors a courteous director of ceremonies and an excellent promoter of hospitality . The banquet was plenteous , if not varied , after the Hebrew custom .
