(No. TT*:*, B.R. : No. 18, P.R.) nSTo. ^5, Gr.lEl. CD. Durinof its adolescent staire, and indeed for some time after it liad blossomed into strength and displayed all the evidences of a future vigorous maturity, the city of Toronto possessed but one Masonic lodge. In other words, from 1822 to 1845 that old home of the Craft, originaUy Rawdon lodge, or "the lodge between the three lakes" (afterwards St. John's Royal Arch lodge, No. 10, and thereafter St. George's lodge. No. 9, which subsequently, in 1829, was merged in St. Andrew's), seemed to be ample for the requirements of the fraternity within its limits. The Toronto of fifty-two years ago and the city of to-day present a marked contrast. There were at the former date, if the records are I'eliable, a little over 19,000 inhabitants, and they were content with a con- dition of affairs that in the present would be responsi- ble for serious lapses in the general morals. There was no daily newspaper, no lailway, and no telegraph. The tallow candle or oil lamp did duty after dark as an illuminant, for although gas had made its appear- ance it was for some years an expensive luxuiy. Mails were few and irregular, and the house to house deli- very was still in the distant future. 8 The sanitary arrangements were about on a par with the street paving, and in wet weather it was as risky as it was uncomfortable to venture out of doors. To reach other towns was not always arv,easy matter at certain periods. In winter months the stage was utilized, and a journey over the roads of the period was an experience that lingered in the memory of the passenger. The primitive steamboat was in the sum- mer season the popular conveyance to the lower pi'o- vinces, the western lake settlements, and the towns of the Niagara peninsula. Of churches there were not many, and a comparison with the requirements and accommodation of to-day is not uninteresting. There were four Anglican churches, viz., St. James', St. Paul's, Trinity, and St. Geortre's. Holy Trinity, off Yonge street, was in course of erection. The present Knox church was not yet built, though a Presbyterian edifice, destroyed by tire later, stood on its site. Old St. Andrew's Presbyterian chuixjh was then on the south-west corner of Church and Adelaide streets. The Wesleyans had two or three conore«--a^ tions only, the most important being that in Richmond street west. St. Michael's Roman Catholic cathedral was rising from its foundation, and St. Paul's in Power street was the only other of that denomination. There were some half-dozen Hebrew families in the city, and very few foreigners of any nationality. Such is but a brief glimpse of Toronto as it was when St. Andrew's lodge, No. 1, Provincial Grand Lodge of Upper Canada, then meeting in Turton's buildings, King street west, afterwards known as Lamb's hotel. learned thrat an application had been submitted to the Provincial Grand Secretary, R. W. Bio. Francis Rich- ardson, by a number of unaftiliated brethren for a dis- pensation to open a new lode^e. Bro. Richardson was of the oi)inion that there was no need for such an addition, and declined to accede to the request. These brethren then made application to the Grand Lodge of Ireland, and a year or so later received a charter and instituted their lodge in Truman's hotel, Queen street west, near Bay, known as the Tyrone Inn. This was the origin of King Solomon's lodge, now JNo. 22 on the register of the Grand Lodge of Canada. In the same year (184-6) a number of members of St. Andrew's lodge applied to Deputy Provincial Grand Master Ridout for a dispensation to enable them to .start a new lodge to be known as Zetland lodge. The application was favourably consideied, and in May of that year the first meeting was held. Five years later Zetland lodge, No. 780, E. R., No. 13, R R, expired irom inanition. ' Thcit St. Andrew's lodge and the Craft geneially, about the period of the formation of these lodges, were enjoying a season of prosperity must be inferred from the rapid growth in the number of lodges. Zetland was still young when there was a fresh swarming from the original hive. As to the causes which led to this new exodus from the parent shelter the lecords are silent, but that they were sound and fraternal may be deduced from the apparent harmony which character- ized the subsequent relations of the lodges. Ionic lodge was started by seventeen members of 10 St, Aiidrevv's, and the vitality and strength of the latter will be best understood when it is realized that the applicants t'or the new lodge comprised men not only of probity and standing in the comiiumity, but who were also active, experienced, and skilled Crafts- men. Their names as appended to the petition were : Francis Richardson Chemist. Kivas Tully Architect. Augustus Baldwin Sullivan . . . .Clerk. Wm. Murdock Gorrie Wharfinger. Chas. Thos. Fitzgibbon Solicitor? Robert Wells Engineer. James Keiller Clerk. Wm. Botsford Jarvi.s Sherifi'. Rd. Saml. Deniord Engineer. Alfd. Hirani Coulson Merchant. Matthew Craig , . . Builder. Charles Berzcy Postmaster. Davidson Monroe Murrny Gentleman. William Williamson . Clerk. Richard Watson ..Printer. Louis Wm. Dessauer Artist. William Crewe Physician. Of the above, two only arc known to survive, viz., R. W. Bro. Francis Richardson, the first Worshipful Master, and M. W. Bro. Kivas Tully, who succeeded him in that office. R. W. Bro. Francis Richardson is one of the few remaining links connecting the Masonic i)resent with a generation almost gone. To tLo zeal and energy (b"s- played by him and others in the old days of trial and difficulty, the Craft of to-day owes nnich of its purity and strength. He had not seen his thirtieth year 11 when, in 1842, he sailed fi-oni hi.s native town Plymouth, where in March of the spme year he had received in lodge No. 424 his Master Mason's degree. After a voyage of forty-five days he landed at Quebec, and thence journeyed to Toi-onto by the Ottawa and King- ston route. Arrived in this city he promptly affiliated with St. Andrew's lodge, where his abilities were at once recognized, and in a short time he became its active W. M. Later he was selected for the important position of Provincial Grand Secretary, and as vigi- lantly as he conducted his own commercial business, so too he guarded the interests of the Crait. Ionic lodge was formed, and over that young organization's first two years of life he i)aternally watched as its Master, and gave to it the impetus and stability which it has never lost. He was made a Royal Arch Mason in St. John's chapter. No. 4, and subsequently was active and prominent in Ionic and St. Andrew's chapters, over both of which he presided. In April, 1853, he was knighted in Hugh de Payens Encampment of Knights Templars at Kingston, his conductor during the ceremony on that occasion being the late Rt. Hon. Sir John A. Macdonald, then a practising lawyer in the Limestone City. In the same year Bro. Richardson presided at the laying of the corner stone of the court house at Whitby, and was presented with a silver trowel. In Jul}^ 1858, he was elected Grand Regis- trar, and in January following, upon the resignation of R. W. Bro. F. W. Cumberland, D.D.G.M., Toronto Dis- trict, who was about to leave for Europe, was appointed to succeed him. In July, 1859, he was elected to the 12 same office by the lodges of the district. As District Deputy Grand Master his characteristic energy did much to advance the work of the Craft, and his mature advice and extensive knowledge of men and events were much sought after during the trying period when the fraternity was so divided on the ( question of inde- pendence. For many years he has been unable to visit his lodge, but the fiftieth anniversary, viz., the .Sth Jul}', 1(S97, saw the veteran brother, then in his eighty- third year, among the many Craftsmen gathered to celebrate the event. While of these a few had laboured with him in the days gone by, most of them he had never seen before, but all joined in a glad and fraternal welcome to the veteran who was known to them as the first Worshipful Master, and in its early years the guiding spirit, of the lodge. The other survivor of the original seventeen is M. W. Bro. Kivas Tully, whose face and figure are more familiar to the Craft of to-day than are those of his venerable contemporary. Like the latter he sailed for this country a few months after receiving his three desrrees, and like him at once connected himself with the Craft in his new home. Bro. Tully was initiated in Ancient Union Lodge, No. 13, Limerick (the charter of which dates back to 1732), on the 3rd April, 1843, by the late R. W. Bro. Sir James Spaight, P. M. G. of North Munster,and was passed and raised in the following May and June respectively. He received the Mark degree there in the subsequent November. Eight months later he was affiliated with St. Andrew's lodge, Toronto, Lnd in 1845 was its senior deacon. On the formation '- ;!•>,- -.;,i^t:^^^.,i»y^^;^- r.. '" 1 1ll v ?■ -' M. W. Bro. Kivas Tully, Senior \\'arclen, 1847-8 ; Worshipful Master, 1849, • 13 of Ionic lodge in 1847 Bro. Tiilly retired from St. Andrew's, and witii the issue of the dispensation became the first senior warden of the new lodge. In the followinir vear he was elected its second Worshipful Master. The ciuestion of Masonic independence, of which he was an ardent advocate, Itrought about a severance of his connection with Ionic, and in 1850 he allied himself with King Solomon's lodge, of the Irish reoister, the better to attain the desired end. Affection for his first love was, however, unimpaired, and the brethren of Ionic in later years, remembering his early services and subsecpient untiring devotion to the Craft, bestowed upon him the vlistinction of honorary member- ship. Bro. Tully, who has worthily represented the Grand Lodm; of Ireland near the Grand Lodge of Canada for a period of forty years, is highly thought of by the brethren of the old land, and the rank of Past Grand Senior Warden of Ireland was conferred upon him as a mark of their appreciation. In his own Grand Lodge he has filled many important ofiices, including those of Grand Senior Warden of the Pro- vincial Grand Lodge in 1849, and D. D. G. M. of the Grand Lodcre in 1857. At the annual communication of the Grand Lodge held at Brantford in the present yeai', the lono- and valuable services of the venerable brother were fittingly recognized in the bestowal upon him of the rank of Past Grand Master, an honor which it is hoped he will wear for many a year. In capitular Masonry Bro. Tully has also been active and enthu- siastic. He has occupied several stations of importance in Grand Chapter, and in 1891 the rank of Past u (fniml Fii'st Principal was confeirt'«l upon him. He is an honorary member of Kincf Solomon's and Wilson lodges, and of King Solomon's R. A. chapter. Bro. Tiilly was a member of the joint committee appointed in 1857 to promote a union between the Ancient Grand Lodge, formerly the Provincial Grand Lod'i-e of Canada West, and the then recently formed independent Grand Lodge of Canada. The seven repre- sentatives of the former were S. B. Harman, T. D. Harr- in»'ton, G. W. Whitehead, John Harding, h\ W. Cum- berland, F. W.

W., seconded by Bro. Kivas Tully, S. W., that Bro. Donald McLean be elected Tyler of the " Ionic Lodge." — Cariied unanimously. The lodge was closed in harmony at ten o'clock, p.m. Confirmed in open lodge this third day of August, 1847. From the foregoing it will be noted tliat the pro- ceedings lasted just thirty minutes. It may reasonably be inferred, therefore, that it had been decided before- hand to defer all otlier business to one or other of the three emergency meetings held subsequently within the same month, in order that the hospitality of the lodge — a feature which Ionic has ever since main- tained — might be offered in suitable fashion to the distinguished brethren who had honored the occasion. The secretary has omitted to relate what took |)lace after the lodge ceased labor. That the proceedings were interesting one can well believe. The visitors included a ae first meeting Col. David 21 13ii]ain; W. A. Cam))bell, Clerk of the Assize Court, and Provincial Grand Senior Deacon ; and others equally active and prominent in the Craft. A week later, on the 14th July, the lirst emergency meeting, called for '• general business," was " opened up to the thinl degree." The secretary read letters from Bros. James W. Morgan and George B. Wylie, dat^d 22nd and 28rd June, respectively, announcing their retirement from Ionic lodge. It is presumed ♦hat the two had assented to be of the number of the petitioners for the dispensation, and had apparently repented the decision. At this meeting " it was proposed from the chair that R. \V. Bro. Thomas G. Ridout, D. P. G. M., be elected an honorary member of Ionic lodge with all the yirivileges of tlie actuid membeis, which proposal was carried by acclamation." Bros. Tully, Sullivan and Wells were appointed a committee " to draft by-laws for the guidance and government of the lodge, and to report at the next regular meetini^." On the 21st July a second emergency meeting was summoned ss before, for "general business," which was again transacted in the third degree. Bro. Aug. B. Sullivan, J. W., moved, seconded by Bro. Kivas Tully, S. W., that the former " be authorized to order seven benches from Mr. French, seven feet in length 22 and two inches wider than common benches." It will be gathered from this that in the matter of furniture our brethren of half a century ago were content ' ith plain living. Bros. Wells and Tully submitted the name of Mr. Casimir Stanislaus (izowski for ballot at the next regular meeting. Mr., now Sir Casimir, Ozowski never came forward for initiation in Ionic, business having called him away. He received the first degree some time after in the lower province, and on his return to Toronto joined St. Andrew's lodge, wdiere he was passed and raised. Messrs. John O. Howard and Thomas J. Preston were also ]noposed for ballot at this meeting, as were also Bros. Edmund BrHdburne and Thomas Gait, who applied to join. The latter is now Sir Thomas Gait, late Chief Justice of the Com- mon Pleas. At the next emergency meeting, held on the 28th July and opened as before, " it was moved by Bro. Kivas Tully, S. W., seconded by Bro. James Keiller, J. D., that six chairs be procured before the next regular meeting lor the Deacons, Secretary, Treasurer, Inner Guard, and Master of Ceremonies ; also that a carpet be procured for the lodge room." On the first Tuesday in August, 1847, the third day of the month, the first regular meeting of Ionic lodge was held, and then and thereafter the business seem.s to have been conducted in the first degree. R. W. Bro. Ridout and all the officers of the lodge were present, and among the visitors were Bros. Hodder, Sheppard, Mountjoy, and Shortt, of St. Andrew's lodge; C!roft, JohnO. Heward, W.M., IS.VJ. W. G. Uhai'EK, W.M., 1853. W. H. Stanton, W.M., 1856, 1857. J. B. Cukkkiman, W.M., 1858, 1859. W. C. Cheweti', W.M., 186U, 1861. F. C. Drapkk, W.M., 1863. 2n y • W.

Even in the infancy of the lodge the brethren were mindful of the distinguishing characteristic of a true Mason, as exemplified in the conditions of the sixth clause, and it is gratifying to relate that through the many intervening years the charitable disposition which impelled the adoption of this provision has not been forgotten or neglected by their successors, though the exaction of an annual subscription has been, per- haps properly, discontinued. At the same meeting the junior warden was, by resolution, authorized tv. order the chairs, the purchase of which w^as sanctioned at a previous meeting, and it was also resolved " that the dozen chairs lent to the lodjic bv Mr. French V)e retained for the use of the lodge/' A dozen members and visitors presented themselves at an emergency meeting on the 25th August, when Bro. Francis Richardson, W. M., instructed them in the first degree. At the next regular meeting, held on the 7th Sep- 4 26 tcmber, 1847. the W. M. being (.letained, the S. W., Bro. Kivas Tally, " in the chair," opened the lodge in the first degree. The following extracts from the minutes are interesting : — *' Bro. Secietury read a letter from Bro. Fnuicis Richnrd- Ron, D. l*.(J.S., communicating the following resolution [)a.s8ed jit the regular communication of the Provincial Grand Lodge, held at King.ston, on the 1 Ith and 12th days of .Funo, 1847. '•^'■Resolved unanimousli/, That at the next regular meet- ing of the Provincial (irand Lodge, and at all subsequent meetings thereof, the repre-sentativc of every lodge on the reg.dter of the Provincial Grand Lodge shall bring into Grand Lodge a suitable lianner, which shall not exceed one s«juare yard.' "Also communicating the following extracts fron» a letter a«ldressed by the Grand Secretary to the llight Woi*shi|)ful the Deputy Provincial Grand Master, Canada West, bearing date the IGth June, 1847, in answer to the following (|ues- tions, viz. : — "' Ist. Can a K. A. Mason or an F. C. speak and vote it* their respective lodges?' "*]t has always heen held hy the (rrand Lodge that every member of a lodge has a light to speak on any (jues- tion relating to its concerns, and by sec. 14, p. 24, you will observe that a newly initiated brother ininiediately becomes a mem])er of the lodge, if he .so choo.se.' ** ' 2nd. Can any but the initiation fee be charged 1' " * The lodge may tix its initiation fee as high as it pleases, but it has been decided that a lodge in which a brother has been initiated is bound to pass and raise hiiA if ho properly ([ualifies himself, hence 1 think they cannot demand a further fee.'" . By resolution Bros. Tully, Sullivan and Gorrie were appointed a committee to procure a .suitable banner in accordance with the requirements of the Provincial Grand Lodge. An eniergt'iicy meeting was called on tlie 15th Sep- tember for the purpose of initiating Mr. Gzowski. but Bro. Tully announced that sickness in that gentleman'.-* family prevented his attendance. On the 22nd another meeting was called " for passing and instruction," when Bro. Preston wan advanced. A third emergency meeting on the 29th, " to receive committee reports," attracted the three principal officers and the secretary only, and nothing, of course, was done. At the October meeting it was announced that the Provincial Orand Lodge would meet at Toronto u» Noven\ber, and the representatives of the lodge were notified to atteml. Bro. Tully thereupon moved that the indulgence of the governing bon, Steward. " Thomas Gait, Dii«ctor of Ceremonies. A motion to present Bro. Francis Richardson with a P.M. jewel ' as a testimony of their kindly feelings towards him, and of their esteem and respect for him as a man and a Mason," was carried by acclamation. At half-past 4 o'clock " the lodge was called from labour to refreshment to meet at (i o'clock p.m., of which having partaken it was again called to labour. The lodge was closed in harmony at 11 o'clock p.m.," and thus decorously ended the celebration of the festival of St. John the Evangelist, 1848. ^ At the January meeting, 1849, the question of brethren in arrears was discussed, but as the by-laws had not been generally circulated it was decided to 31 ullow the delinquents some grace. Bro. Robert Wells, one of the original members, wrote announcing his retirement. The matter of insuring the furniture was also discussed and the treasurer directed to negotiate a policy. The following montli the minutes disclose that Bro. James Darby acted as tyler. It was this brother who A few months previously had been an applicant for relief. The names of brethren in arrears were arraved for action, but a^^ain mercv was shown and further time allowed. Among those in arrears was a brother Perrin. who stated to the committee appointed to see him that he was not, and never had l>een. a member of Ionic, although a trio of the leading membei-s had asserted th.at he had consented to join. There was no record of a ballot, and his name w^as erased. ,, Bro. Berzcy, the postmaster, another on the list, expressed a desire through the committee to retire, but the secretarv was instructed to notifv him that this would not l>e permitted until all dues were paid. The lodge's demand was satisfied later. Bro. Donald McLean, the tyler, desired to resign his office, " whereupon it was moved by Bro. Richardson, seconded by Bro. Watson, that Bro. McLean he elected an honorary member of the lodge. Carried unani- mously." Bro. McLean, who had in former years occu- pied the chair of a lotlge, was a very worthy Mason, and in his avocation as a tailor was regarded as an equally worthy citizen. Bro. Deniord was elected to the vacancy, and was duly invested by the W. M. A resolution was submitted " that Bro. Craisr's .•■ 32 account be ordered to be paid, and that he be requested to settle with Bro. Dixon respecting the amount to be paid by him for certain alterations made in the room." This is the first indication recorded of the place of meeting, and that the landlord was Bro. Dixon. An emergency meeting on the 2()th March. 1849, was well attended, the business being tho raising of Bro. Draper. Among those present was Bro. W. H. Weller, of St. Andrew's lodge, afterwards Grand Master. Bro. Weller was in the months following x frequent visitor. Bro. Perrin, who disclaimed membership at a previous meeting, had received an order to furnish the lodge w^ith ribbon, which was delayed in transit from Europe. At the April meeting, however, Bro. Heward announced that he had settled with Bro. Perrin for £4<, the riblon being 7.**. 6d. a yard. A communication was received from Kin^: Solomon's lodge to the effect th?.t Ui*^ brethren thereof wished to treat with the Ionic lodge for the use of its room, and a committee was appointed to confer with them to that end, and instructed not to accept le.ss than £7 10s. for the vear. So far as the minutes go. there is nothing to indicate that any but Ionic lodge used the room set apart for Masonic purposes in the premises owned by Dixon & Son ; but from another source, viz., the records of the old Zetland lodge, it is learned that at tlie meeting of that lodge in Jul}', 1847, a resolution wus passed "to rent the lodge room of Ionic lodge, in the Wellington buildings, on the south side of King street east, at an ■ -1 NicoL KiNter, like many other matters of the time, are difficult to reach. In 1S47, Bros. Francis Richardson and Kivas TuUy were first and second Principals respectively of St. John'.s chapter, No. 4. A change in the method of working and in the nomenclature of officers, led to dispute, and the subsequent formation, under an English charter, of St. Andrew's chapter. This was early in 1848. Two years later the members who adhered to their convic- tions with regard to the old capitular ritual, petitioned for a return of the provincial warrant No. 4, and resumed working under its authorit}". It was during the interval that, through the activity of the above . named brethren, Ionic chapter was institated and operated in connection with the lodge, presumably under a provincial warrant. Its principal officers were, Francis Richardson, Z. ; Kivas Tully, H. ; W. M. Gorrie, J. ; A. H. Coulson, Treas. The resurrection and re-establishment of the St. John's warrant, how- S ever, interfered with the new chapter's progress, ami it died in infancy. The 9th April, 1849, was a sad day for the members of Ionic lodge and the Craft generally in the province. An emerjrencv meeting had been called on that date for the purpose of taking part in the funeral services of the late W. Bro. Richard Watson, whose tragic death, durinfj the con tiau ration whi'bh destroved St. James' cathedral and other buildings a few days previously, had cast a dark shadow over the city. The inij tiio receipt of the thanks of Ionic lodge, and stating that if the latter " at any future time should require the use of their lodge room it was at their disposal." A resolution of thanks to St. Andrew's lodge for their hospitable entertainment and truly Masonic feeling evinced on the occasion of the dedication ceremony at the Toronto street hall was carried unani- mously. • At the meeting of 1st June a discussion arose respect- ing the rent of the room, when it was resolv^ed that the matter should be left to the treasurer to arrange 53 with St. Andrew's lodge, thus indicating that Ionic lodge was negotiating to remove to the hall of St. Andrew's lodge on Toronto street. The lodoe did not meet again until the 5th October, 1858. In the meantime the union of the two Grand Lodges had been etlected, and Ionic lodge was enrolled upon the register of the Grand Lodge of Canada as No. 25. At the October meeting a communication was read from 8t. Andrew's lodge inviting the officers and members of louic lodge to attend an oratorio to be given by the Metropolitan Choral Society under the auspices of the Masonic fraternity. In November a letter was read suggesting a Masonic ball to celebrate the union of Canadian Freemasonry, and a committee was appointed to co-operate with the other lodges. The M.VV. the Grand blaster having expressed a desire to visit and witness the working of the three lodges w'lich liad until recently owed allegiance to the Provincial Grand Lodge, and subseciucntly to the Ancient Grand Lodge, to wit, St. Andrew's, Ionic and St. Johns, au emergency meeting for all three was called for the 16th November. W. Bro. W. G. Storm, of St. Andrew's presided, and received the Grand Master, who then took the chair and delivered a short addi-ess, after which the new warrants were delivered to the worshipful masters and the balance of the evening was devoted to social intercourse. The warrant was read by the W. M. at the Deceml)er meeting and declared to be the authorit}' under which 54 Ionic lodge wouk' work in future. An account of the Orand Lodge proceedings in July was also read. The W.M. also reminded the lodge that by the new Consti- tution the 8. W., J. W., secretary, and chaplain, would have to be elected, in addition to the officers hitherto selected by that means. W. Bro. Cherriman was unanimously re-elected W.M. anil the other selections were Bros. \V. C. Chewett, S.W. ; H. P. R. Fripp, J.W. ; Rev. Septimus Ramsay, chaplain ; Thomas Hodgins, secretary ; Nathan Oatchell, treasurer ; James Fore- man, tyler. At the meeting of the 7th December, 1858, these officers were installed, and the by-laws were amended to harmonize with the Constitution. The brethren were called from labour " for the sj>ace of three hours," and celebrated the festival in conjunction with the brethren of St. Andrew's and St. John's lodges. Ionic lodge, through the vicissitudes and trials of youth, during which it was o[>en to all the temptations and rivalries afforded by the many phased s^'stems of rules and government, maintained its intetcrity and allegiance and under the new and united regime pro- ceeded on its steady but progressive cour.se, firm in the purpose with whicli it was organized and which it has ever maintained. The liistory of those early and un- settled years has been dealt with at greater length than that of the years which follow, as the readei- will naturally feel an interest in the doings of bretliren •who assisted so materially and under circumstances of much disadvantage to j)Iace the lodge in the proud position which it liolds to-day. 55 Durinf"- 1859 the meetinofs, now held in Toronto street hall, were frecjuent, and the attendance was larcrer than ever. Grand Lodge met in Toronto in January, and the occasion was seized to hold the ball before )nentioned, which, no doubt, was the succest* its promoters desired. Bro. W. G. Draper was elected an honorary member. In March the brethren were summoned to attend the funeral of the late Bro. Dr. Russell. The forma- tion of the benevolent board was also completed this month by the representatives of tlie six Toronto lodges. The necessity of ])rocuring new collars for the ofHcers was discussed. The officers for the ensuing twelve months were chosen at the December meeting, Bro. W. C. Chewett being selected to succeed Bro. Cherriman, and Bro. Nicol Kingsmill taking over the duties of secretary. The year 18G() was ecjually prosperous. In April the application of certain brethren for permission to establish a lodge in the western part of the city, to be called Union lodge, was rejected. At the meet- ing on the festival of St. John the Baptist, the W. M. took occasion to congratulate the brethren on the pros- perous condition of Ionic lodge, though he announced at the same time that dues were outstanding to the amount of $G00. Later he ])rescnted to Past Master Cherriman on behalf of the lodge a past master's collar and jewel in recognition of his services " in bringing this lodge to its present prosperous state." In October it wa.s resolved that the lodge pay an equal amount with tiie other lodges " towards the pay- oG ment of the Masonic arch erected to celebrate the visit of H. R. H. the Prince of Wales to Toronto." At the November meeting a conimunication from the M.W. the Grand Master was read, " in which he stated his reasons for summoning the Craft to Ottawa to assist in laying the corner stone of the new Parlia- ment buildings during the visit of H, R, H. the Prince of Wales to that cit}^ anvas now by resolution presented to the 59 latter lodge with an " expression of fraternal feeling." In Ai)ril a couiniittee, appointed to confer with .similar connnittees fiom the other lodges on the question of rent, reported, reconniiending " that this lodge do accede to the i)ioi)Osal of St. Andrew's lodge to pay a yearly rent of $160 in place of the present rent, $1^0." During the year a committee was appointed to audit the treasurer's hooks, and its report was suhmitted in October, This report showed that sums received for dues and entered in the cash book did not appear ta the credit of the brethren in the ledger, and it was resolved that the accounts of some thirty-seven breth- ren " be closed in the Treasurer's books bj' profit and loss account, as it appears useless to keep the same open for any further period." It is probable that the difHculties occasioned by the condition of affairs revealed in the report were respon- sible for many of the " retirements " which about this period reduced the membership. As observed in an early stage of this history, it wa» customary for lodges to exchange lists of officers. Among those acknowledged in the early part of 1805 was one from Gold Coast lodge, South Africa. During this year Bro. James Brown presided in the east. His term was marked by perfect harmony, but otherwise was feaUu'eless. During 18GG and the following year Bro. J. K. Kerr controlled the destinies of Ionic. The necessity for the local board of benevolence receiving a portion of the moneys voted by the Grand Lodge for charitable purposes was first moo. ' in the early months of his CO first term. Lodge visitation was also encouraged, a committee being appointed to visit all tbe other lodges iind extend invitations to return the same. At this time Ionic and other lodges were tenants of St. Andrew's lodge in the Toronto street hall, but in September of 180G " a connnittee consisting of mem- bers of all the city lodges was appointed to take into consideration the advisability of the several lodtres meeting in one hall." This as the origin of the pi-esent Hall Trust. In March, 1867, a legal demand was made on behalf of the proprietor of "The Terrapin" for S26 for refreshments supplied five 3'ears previously, with in- terest for that period added. The lodge disclaimed any knowledge of the transaction. In June the returns showed that the resignations ^jxceeded the admissions, and that the total member- ship was forty-one. In November a comnuinication from the secretary of the recently formed Board of Masonic Hall Trustees in reference to the formation of ii library, was referred to a future meeting, when a committee was appointed to act with the other lodges. At the December meeting Bro. R. P. Stephens was elected W. M. A motion to amend the by-laws by making the offices of warden, chaplain, and secretary elective, was y the W.M. that the lodge was clear of debt, and the mem- bers evinced their appreciation of his efforts by re- electing him to the chair for the year 18G9. This was again a period of activity, some fifteen being added to the roll. Bro. J. F. Lasli succeeded Bro. Stephens as W.M., and the year 1870 opened with visible signs of con- tinued prosperity. The return to Grand Lodge at the close of the 3'ear showed a total membership of 84. The festival in December was marked by a joint installation of the officers of Ionic, Rehoboam, Wilson, and Stevenson lodges, R. W. Bro. J. K. Kerr, D.D.G.M., officiating. Owing to famil}' affiiction, however, the W. M. elect of Ionic, Bro. A. R. Boswell, was unable to be present. The sum of fifty dollars was granted by each of the lodges to the Boys' and Girls' Homes of the city. At the January meeting, 1871, Bro. A. R. Boswell was duly seated in the oriental chair, and with Bro. 62 \V. ]). Otter as bis secretary entereU ii))on anotlier ImrmonioiiH year. At the February meeting; Bro. J. F. Lasb, I. P. M., was presented witb a P. M. jewel in appreciation of bis services. In April an intinjation from tbe Hall Board tbat Ionic lod^e owed $104 on its sbare in tbe furniture occasioned discussion. Bro. Tlionias Ferguson volunteered to raise tbe amount by subscription, and permission was given bim to proceed. At tbe November meeting it was announced tbat tbe city lodges bad contribute*! S7()0 towards the fund instituted for tbe purpose of relieving tbe brethren of Chicago afflicted l)y tbe great fire. Ionic's share was $90. ( )n tbe 27tb December, Bro. the Rev. H. W. Davies was installed W. M., and bis ])redecessor, Bro. Boswell, received a P. M. jewel from bis brethren. In February, 1872, tbe lodge was lionored witb a visit from M. W. Bro. Seymour, Grand iM aster, who was accompanied by tbe 1). G. M., R W. Bro. 'J'bomas White, Jr., the G. S. W., u immber of D. D. G. M'.:,. and many other leading brethren. In the following montb another visitor who bad not been beard from in the lodge for a long interval, reappeared, viz., tbe black- ball. Two candidates were rejected, antl the ballot for a third was discreetly laid over. At the May meeting a comnmnication from King Solomon's lodge was read, asking for a committee for i\ conference " regarding tbe advisability of securing property in this city for Masonic purposes." Revised by-laws were adopted. Tbe Grand Lodge of Vermont baving sided with Quebec in tbe matter of jurisdiction over that province, 63 the Grand Master of Canada issued a proclamation Imrrinn tlie lodjjfos of this jurisdiction from admitting' any brethren liailinijf from the (Jreen Mountain State. This mandate was read at the November meeting,', as was also a letter from M. W. Bro. Robert Morris, of Kentu(;k3', announcing' un appi-oaching visit and U^cture to the Craft in Toronto. Bro. Hoswell was a<,'ain the choice of the brethren for the chair, and he was dulv installed at the festival in December. The lodge roll at the close of 1872 eiii- braced JK) members. The year 1873 was comi)aratively uneventful. Bro. Davies in the early months was presented with a jewel. A proportion of the ainount sent from Toronto to aid the Masonic sufferers by the C.hicago fire was returned, and Ionic's share was voted to the Vjenevolent fund. A sum of $50 was also set apart towards the procur- ing of an organ. The lodge continued to grow, and the W. M. foi- 1S74, Bro. W. D. Otter, began with a membership of 93. During 1 874 the «litHculty with Quebec was adjusted, and at the April meeting it was announced that the several edicts of non-intercourse issued by the Grand Lodge of Canada were revoked. In September the by-law providing for the election and installation of officers was amended so as to fix these events in future for the regular meetings in November and December respectively. Bro. J. A. Temple, M.D., was elected to flucceed Bro. Otter in the chair, and was duly installed by R. W. Bro. R. P. Stephens, D. D. G. M., at the Decem- ber meeting. The membership at this period was 105. 64 The fees for life membership, amounting to ^'2UK were for the first time, with other funds, invested by the W. M. in Januaiy, 1S75, in Royal Caoadian Bank stock. In this month the death is recorded of M. W. Bro. W. Mercer Wilson, the first Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Canada, and at the February meeting a resolution regretting his demise and paying tribute to his excellence as a Mason and a ruler was passed. In November the Grand Master, M. W. Bro. J. K. Kerr, visited his mother lodge and leceived a he^irty welcome. At t»ie Noveml»er meeting Bn». Temple was re-electeil W. M., Bro. S. W. Farrell, the seni warden, having decline<.l advancement. Bio. Farre;. was sub- .seijuently voted a past senior warden's jewel. The by-laws were further amended by raising the initi- ation fee ii-om ^0 to S40. The year 1876 was distinguished by the introiluction and rejection of a motion to aholish intoxicating bevei-ages at the refreshment table. In June the loilge had a visit from Sir William Colles, the eminent Irish surgeon, a P. M. of St. Patrick "s lodge, Dublin. Bro. J. Gunn Robinson was elected to the chair in Novem- ber, and in the following month M. W. Bro. J. K. Kerr, Grand Master, conducted the installation cei-emony. Early in 1S77 his appreciative brethren recognized the services of Bro. Dr. Temple by presenling him with a P. M. jewel. Bro. John Dixon, who had for manv years acted as tvler, was, owintf to infirmities, compelled to resign. The Hall Board voted him an annuity of $200 and Ionic lodge at the April meeting indorsed the proposition. Bro. John Linton succeeded Thos. B. Lee, W.M., 1893. Douglas Armour, W.M., 1894. W. (in... ICakins, W.M., 1S95. A, B. Ayleswortii, W.M., 1800. 65 him. A sum of fifty dollars was given to the sufferers in the great fire at St. John, N. B. Bro. A. J. Robertson j resided during 1^:78 and 1879. In the former year matters in connection with the general Benevolent Board were reported to be in a disorganized condition, and Ionic lodge took a prom- inent part in having them readjusted. The lodge also assisted at Uie dedication of the hall of Ashlar lodge in Yorkville. Applications from brethren in the west end of the city were received praying for the consent of Ionic lodge to the formation of two lodjjes to be called respectively St. George's and Metropolitan. The lodge acceded in each instance. During 1879 it was decided to amend the by-laws by making the wardens elective instead of appointed, and reducing the initiation fee from S40 to $30. The membership at this ))eriod had again dropped below the century mark, owing to frequent renic^nations and suspensions and the lack of work. The first and only attempt to .suspend or abolish refreshments was made at the close of the year, and was unsuccessful. With the dawn of 1880 indications of renewed activity were apparent, and the year under W. Bro. A. F. Maclean's rule was fairly prosperous. The lodge indoi-sed a suggestion froi'i the Benevolent Board that the fraternity purchase a plot in Mount Plea.sant ceme- tery for the burial of worthy brethren who might d'e in indigent circumstances in this city. It was also resolved to contribute $50 annually towards the main- tenance of a Masonic library in connection with the hall, upon condition that tixe other lodges gave equa,l u support. An effort to change the regular meeting night from Tuesday to Friday proved abortive. Bro. S. W. Farrell, who had served the lodge for five years as treasure!-, and had left the city, was accorded a reso- lution of thanks. During 1881 and 1882 the lodge exhibited a steady progress. Bro. C. W. Postlethwaite presided during this period, and the iiuality of the work and tiie mem- bership materially advanced. In 1 882 another attempt to have the night of meeting changed failed of support. The lodge was now in excellent hands, and the succeeding years witnessed a progress that plnced it on a pedestal of strength financially as well as numerically. Ever mindful of the fundamental tenets of the Craft, the spirit of harmony and brotherly love has in no wise been disturbed. The Masonic years have rolled by in unbroken peace yet not uneventful, but the biethren can look back to these incidents only with feelinjrs of satisfaction and i)ride, for they represent in its most ample sense that binding quality that has contributed so much to secure the inipenetrable co- hesiveness for which our temple, the world over, is to-day envied. Gratefully appreciated was the gift by R. W. Bro. J. Ross Robertson, in 1883, of a large plot in Mount Pleasant cemetery to be used in the case of poor and distressed brethren who might pass away while so- journing in the city. In May of that year M. W. Bro. Spry, Grand Master, visited the lodge and was greeted by a very large assemblage of the Craft. Indeed, it may be remarked in passing, that similar events in h C7 subsequent years w«re marked by attendances that severely taxed the capacity of the lodge room. In the following year the advisability of maintaining a cot in the Hospital for Sick Children was discussed, and at a later period action was taken thereon. The " charity box " was an innovation of the year 1885, and according to the report of the committee at tlie close of the year it came " und(}r the tongue of ^rood report, was duly initiated, and is now a popular member of the lodge. Its dues have been regularly paid and amount to the handsome sum uf $44.30. Of this sum $25 was devoted to providing a cot in the Lakeside Home for Little Children." Karly in the year the half-breed or " Riel " rebellion in the North- West broke out. To (juote the same report : " Wlien tlie bugle sounded the note of alarm at the com- menceinent of the recent North-West troubles the lodge lesponded to the call, and no less than seven of its members, officers of militia, answered the summons to duty, while a former P. M., Lt.-Col. Otter, was placed in connnand of one of the expeditionary columns. No more pleasing event occurred during the year than the lodge's night of welcome to those gallant brethren on their return from four months of hardship and danger, those at home receiving them with hearty greeting." One of the returned warriors, Bro. F. F. Manley, was installed as W.M. for the ensuing year by the Grand Mastei-, M. W. Bro. Hugh Murray, the ceremony being attended by one of the largest gatheiings of P.M.'s ever recorded. In May, 1889, R. W. Bro. Kivas Tully, one of tne original members, was made an honorary life member 68 with full privileges. In the following month the veteran brother moved a vote of thanks to R. W. Bro. J. Ross Robertson, D. G. M., for his lecture delivered to the Craft under the auspices of Ionic lodge and entitled "Craft Masonry in Canada for the Past Hun- dred Years." It has already been remarked that leading Masonic events held under the auspices of Tonic lodge invariably proved attractive to the Craft generally, ic remained, however, for the year 1890 to exceed all former records, and the occasion of the largest assemblage of Craftsnien ever witnessed in Canada points to May 'JOth of that year as a remarkable date in the annals of the lodge. Learning that H. R. H. the Duke of Connaught was returnino- to Endand from his Indian commantl, via Canada, W. Bro. G. Sterling Ryerson, then the W. M. of the lodge, thought that some recognition of so distinguished a Mason should come from the loyal Craft in Toronto. It was a happy thought, well conceived and as promptly acted upon. While yet on his journey from the west His Royal Highness received a personal invitation from the W. M. to meet the brethren during his brief stay in this city. It was at once graciously acknowledged and fraternally accepted. An emergency meeting was called for tlie evening of the 30th May, and such notification given to the Craft as the brief interval permitted. Never Vjefore had the Toronto street hall witnessed such a gathering. At nine o'clock there were .seven hundred brethren in and about the spacious lodge room. Grand Lodge GO orticers, present and past, all the W. M.'s ot* tlie city lodj,'OS, and nearly 1*^0 past masters. It was an inipos- \u II. W. Bro. asked HI it was his pleasure to receive an address from the brethren. The II. W. Bro. signified his desire to have the addresa presented, and the W. M. then read the following address, the brethren standing : — 71 "To Lieut. Genoral His Royal Higlincss Artlnir William Patrick Allujit, Duko of Comumglit and Stratliearn, K.U., K.T., Ci.C.S.l., G.C.M.(i., (.15., U.C.T., etc., I'ast Grand Warden of Kngland, Provincial (Jrand Ma.ster of iSussex, Di.strict Grand Master of Bombay. " May it pleases your Koyal Highness, we the District Deputy Grand Master of tlie 11th Masonic District, oHicers of Grand Lodge, Masters of Lodges in the City of Toronto, and brethien under the jurisdiction of tlus (Jrand Lodg(; of Pree and Accepted Masons of Canada, beg permissit>n t<» tender our sincere congratulations on your safe return to this country. " We hold your Koyal Highness in loving remembrance as a .soldier serving Her Majesty in our midst, and we recall the historical fact that the only other royal personage who has .so served in Canada was your grandfather, his late lloyal Highne.ss the Duke of Kent, and that he like yourself was an enthusiastic Ma.son and a distinguished member of the Craft. " We deeply regret that your stay among us is to be of such short duration as not to permit of your Royal High- ness taking an active interest in the affairs of the (Jrand Lodge of Canada. " Nothing has been more noteworthy than the distin- guished .service rendered to the Craft by the members of the Royal family, from the time of the union of the (.'rand Lodges of England in IS 13 under His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex down to the present day. " We recognize in the distinguished person of the Grand Master of Knglaiul, H. R. H. the Prince of Wales, a Mason in act as well as in word, and feel that no Grand Master who has preceded him has tilled that great othce with more dignity and shown more zeal for the welfare of the Craft. His visit to this country and city is borne in atiectionate remembrance, and we would respectfully request Your Royal Highness to convey to the Most Worshipf-d the Grand Master of England our fraternal and humble greetings, and to express to him the hope that we may at no distant day have an opportunity of doing homage to His Royal High- ness in person, and in this city. - 72 "Of the ties wliith hind uh to tlio inotlicr country none is stronger tlian the Ixmd which iinitcH us to our brethren in Masonry in (ireat Britain. DeHcended from the same sturdy Jiritish stock, our fathers have nituh' of the wihler- ii«!ss a smiling and pleasant hind. Endowed with indoniit- able perseverance, pluck, and jtatriotisni, tlioy liavc kept the country for British hearts and Ihitish honics. Nor shall we of the present generation waver in our allegiance nor fail to reineniher that they hroiight with thein th<^ mystic tie, the indissoluble chain of sinceif atiection, lawful support, relief, fidelity, and truth." Signed on behalf of the Craft by the IJect'ption Toni- nnttee, Toronto, May 30, 1890. The U. W. Bro. replied to the address as follows : — '' WoRSHii'FUF. Sfr AN!) BuKTHHKN, — I thank you for the magnilicent reception you have given mc, far surpassing anything 1 had anticipated, and which 1 will cheiish as one of the most pleasant recollections of my trip through C'anada. "I attribute; this great gathering of the brethren to a desire on their part to manifest their feeling towani.i tiie Queen, my l)eloved motlier, to my lirother the Grand Afaster, and as a tribute to the interest I have idways taken in the < 'raft. I represent, 1 believe, more than any other brother Mason the Jmi)erial idea in Masonry, holding at present the otfices of Provincial Grand Master of Sussex, District (»iand ^Master of Bombav, and (rreat Prior of Ireland. '' Tt is now nineteen years since I became a member of the Craft, and 1 have never forgotten the impression made on me when 1 was initiated. Tlie fratei'iiity is a nobh; one, whose inllnence is ever extending, and in who.se i-anks the brethren meet on a common plane of equality and brotherly love. " Jn the old land the support of the Ma.sc.iic charitable institutions, and the care given by the Craft to those who need, show the great principles on which the order is founded to be relief and charity. 73 "It 18 pleasing to learn of the loyalty of the brethren in Canada. 1 will long remember this visit and your magniti- «ent reception, and when 1 reach home I will take an early opportunity of conveying yonr expressions of goodwill to the Queen and the (J rand Master.
