taken with pleasure , at the same time with a certain amount of diffi . deuce . He regretted the absence of Bro . G . Gnrton , to whom he ( the W . M . ) was indebted for his introduction into Freemasonry . ^ Ho was under obligations to Bro . Edwin Dottridge , who had kindly placed him in office for tho first time , and this honour had culminated in his being elevated to the proud position he held as W . M . of this
old aud honoured Lodgo . He would associate with the toast tho names of Bro . Alfred Dottridge ancl J . Sandilaud Ward . Bro . Ward responded : It had always been a great honour to be called upon to reply to his health proposed individually , but when ho was associated in a toast of such magnitude as that of the Past Masters of so ancient and honourable a Lodge as that of the Old Concord , ho felt a still greater
pride . He trusted he might be associated with the Lodge for many , many years . The health of the Treasurer ancl Secretary was nexb given . The W .
