member of the lodge who was to be their first exallee . E . Comp . Simpson , H ., svas proud to be one of their Principals , although , unlike his colleagues , he was not a Grand Officer . The Rev . Canon Brownrigg returned thanks for E . Comp .

had St . Mark ' s College as its landmark and of the Marcians Lodge , svhich svas a credit to Masonry . E . Comp . Bartley Denniss , P . Z ., offered the congratulations of the visitors to the M . E . Z . upon the high honour ol " being First Principal of such a chapter , well deserved by one
svhose record in Masonry was so admirable . The chapter , svhich they knew had been formed in the truest Masonic spirit , had taken as its device the column of St . Mark at ancient Venice , svhich held the proud title of Mistress of the Seas , a title nosv claimed by our mighty Empire , and he hoped the device svould prove an omen that the chapter svould be as enduring as that celebrated column .
Comp . Saunion , appreciated the hearty and amusing manner in which Comp . the Rev . C . J . Smith had proposed the toast , and said the visitors felt like godfathers at the birth of the chapter , and wished it the success the lodge had enjoyed . In proposing the toast of "The Officers , " the M . E . Z .
expressed full confidence in their zeal , and hoped they would attend the Domatic Chapter of Instruction where most of them had received their Royal Arch knowledge from one of their distinguished visitors , E . Comp . Cleghorn , svho svas always ready to assist and instruct all who- were seeking to
perfect themselves . He thanked Comp . the Rev . C . J . Smith , Scribe E ., for his labours in founding the chapter . He had sliossTi great tact and unfailing energy . Much of the success of the work svould depend upon the Principal Sojourner , Comp . Fraser , in svhom he had every confidence . Comps . the Rev .
