Gideon Lee was by reason of his residence out of the city, and his infrequent attendance of late years, but little known to our present members; but the tradition of him is that he was of the standard required of Centurions in the days when he joined their ranks; and we can only regret that circumstances have deprived us of his society for so many years.
