There was an extremely good attendance, and several importr ant matters in connection with the Lodge were discussed.

This is due to the loyal support tendered by the initial members, and the rapidly increasing membership of the lodge. Five new. members proposed at the nj beting, and a number of applications have been received from country residents, which will be dealt with as soon as the usual medical examination can be arranged. Several of the out-back settlers arc * joining for the sake of the insurance in case of accident, and there is every indication that this course will be followed by a large number.
