mity of feeling as at present existed amongst the brethren was maintained , it might indeed be said the years of the Lodge , which already amonnted to over ono hundred , could not be numbered .

Visitors . When they were honoured with the company of brethren from other Lodges , tho members of tho Old Concord invariably did the best they could to entertain them . Ho called ou Bro . Hudson to respond . Bro . P . M . Hockley next proposed tho health of the W . M . He spoke of the great ability displayed by Bro . AVard , both in the Lodge aud at tho banquet table . Their worthy brother ' s year of
office was drawing to a close ; indeed , he would only have one moro meeting to preside over , but every member of tho Lodge was satisfied with the way he had conducted the bnsiness of the chair . The AV . M . said , that to be Master of his mother Lodge was tho ambition of every Mason . When he joined them he determined to make himself acquainted with all that might bo required of him .
When the time came for him to vacate tho chair , he shonld carry with him many agreeable remembrances , many happy reminiscences of tho kindness he had received ; he felt he possessed the goodwill of each and every member , and he felt deeply the hearty way in which the toast had beeu received . Bro . AVard next gave the health of tho Past Masters ; he regretted they had not more amongst them that evening ; but in those who wero present , thoy had of the most honoured
some members of the Craft . After an acknowledgement by Bro . Hockley , the Officers was given , and replied to by Bro . Dottridge . The toast of tho Press was associated with the name of Bro .
