The toast was received with considerable enthusiasm , as was Brother Mogford , who , in reply , said he should but briefly acknowledge the kind words
spoken of him , after the great exertions of the Eastor manoeuvres , which were not conducive to long speeches , but , notwithstanding , his heart and soul were with the Lodge and Regiment . Next year would be its centenary . He was pleased that his efforts had met with their approval , and that he should leave office retaining their esteem .
The visitors toast was responded to by Brother Dehane , who expressed thanks for the genial hospitality extended , and commented favourably on the work that he had witnessed . He congratulated the W . M . and Lodge on the way the Officers performed their duties . Bro . Heath said it gave him double pleasure to respond as an old friend of Bro . Mogford the W .

Lodge , as well as a punctual one , which was fully borne out by what he had witnessed that evening ; he could speak with some little experience , being a P . M . of the Earl of Carnarvon Lodge . Such work did good to the Craft , and to those who witnessed it , and set an example to the Brethren coming on in office . He regretted that owing to an important engagement at which H . R .
