down to a splendid banquet ; and on the removal of the cloth , after the usual Masonic toasts , the W . M . took occasion , on proposing the health of Bro . Weaver , to congratulate the Lodge , and express their thanks to him for the efficient manner in which he had so successfully discharged the duties during his year of office , having initiated in the three Degrees no fewer than thirty Brethren , which , together with those Brethrehi who had joined , made a Lodge within a

twelvemonth of forty-three members . Too much credit cannot be given to the D . Prov . G . M . Gooch , whose zeal in the cause of Masonry is so well known , for the great attention and kindness he has ever shown since his connection with the province , for previous to the appointment of Lord Methuen as Prov . G . M ., and himself as D . Prov . G . M ., " Masonry was but imperfectly known in the county ; now the case is widely different , four new Lodges having been consecrated by

them , and the Craft trebled by their united exertions . To Bro . Burt , the newlyinstalled Master , it must be a source of very great pleasure and gratification to see the great progress Masonry' is making in that town , as it was through his instrumentality and perseverance the warrant was first applied for and obtained . Amongst the company present we noticed Bros . Ladd Will , No . 909 ; Tyrrell ; Lloyd , P . Supt . of Works of Bristol ; and Biggs , P . M .
