REPORT OF THE BOARD OF GENERAL PURPOSES .
To the United Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Mason-j of England . The Board begs to report that it has been under the necessity of summoning two Lodges to answer charges of permitting toasts of a Masonic character to be proposed and' responded to in the presence and hearing of Ladies and other
non-Masons at Masonic banquets held after Lodge meetings . The Board deemed it its duty seriously to admonish the several Lodges for the irregularity they had committed , and it desires to point out that at recreation banquets , when Lodges entertain Ladies and others who are not Masons , it is most improper and irregular to introduce anything whatever of a Masonic character into the speeches or proceedings .
In acknowledging the following presentations , the Board takes the opportunity to report that the capacious and handsome room for the reception of the Library and Curiosities belonging to Grand Lodge is now completed , and the Board will be most happy to receive any additions thereto , which the generosity of members of the Craft may place at its disposal .
