W . the Provincial Grand Master His Grace the Duke of Manohester , and the Deputy Prov . G . M . Brother Butler Wilkins . Referring to the Duke ' s regrettable absence , - he Baid a man of his position had so many calls upon his time that it was extremely difficult
for him to get to Prov . G . Lodge , and no donbt his Grace felt that his presenoe was not so essential on account of the vitality of the Lodges and the able services of his exoellent Deputy . His Grace had been most happy in his ehoioe of a Deputy . The D . Prov . G . M ., in responding , said the cause of the Grand Master ' s absence was a pressing business engagement , whioh rendered it
impossible to get down , at the last moment . Had his Grace beeu present he should have had the pleasure of representing to him the great progress whioh Masonry in the Province had made since be viaB last amongst them—some six years ago ; that two new Lodges had been founded , and that the working of the Lodges had greatly improved . At the same time , he would have had to say that faces with which they
had been familiar they regretfully missed from amongst them . The Grand Lodge Offioers past and present having been honoured , Bro . Pank responded , making some practical observations , and also expressing the regret of many of the brethren at the absenoe of the Prov . Grand Master , and that it had been so long since his Grace had been amongst them . Bro . J . U . Stanton gave the Boyal Masonic
Benevolent Institutions , viz ., the Girls' School , the Boys' School , and the Institution for Aged Freemasons and Widows of Freemasons . He knew how much they regretted that Bro . James Terry , the Secretary for the Royal Masonio Benevolent Institution , was not amongst them that day , as he had been for some years past on similar occasions , and then proceeded to give an interesting sketch
of the grand work these Institutions were doing , giving instances of the practical good that had come within his own personal knowledge . . The small Provinoe of Northamptonshire and Huntingdonshire had done nobly . The good they did was beyond their conception . Two years ago , when he had the honour of representing the Province as Steward , thanks to their liberality , he was fourth highest
on the list , and the present year that amount was exceeded by Bro . R . H . Griffin , who acted as their Steward . They had attained such a position that any candidate supported by them was almost sure of saccess the first time . Bro . H . J . Atkins , in replying , expressed the hope that the Lodges would help him as liberally as they had done his predecessors ; and he would do his best to secure as large , if not
a larger sum , for the noble Institutions which were the outcome of Masonic benevolence . By these Charities they helped their aged brethren , the widow , and the orphan—not by pauperising them , but by maintaining their self-respect while helping them , and , in the case of the boys and girls , preparing them , by a sound education , for an honourable and useful career . Nothing
could give them greater happiness than thus to contribute to' the peace and comfort of the declining years of aged brethren , or to provide for deceased brothers' widows ; or to the maintenance and education of the orphans they left behind them . " The Visiting Brethren " was ably responded to by Bro . E . L . Shelton P . M . 1366 , who apologised for the absence of Bro . James Terry , and stated the
pleasure it gave him to belong to a Lodge with which Bro . Terry was so closely connected . The acting Prov . Grand Master gave the W . M . ' s and Brethren of the various Lodges in the Province , which was severally responded to by the W . M . ' s and brethren present . Bro . J . T . Smith gave the Ladies , which was responded to by E . Crisp . The Tyler ' s toast concluded the business of the evening . The whole meeting passed off in a most satisfactory manner , its success being in
a great measure attributable to the efficient manner it which Brother George Ellard performed his duties as Director of Ceremonies , beiog well assisted by Bro . J . T . Smith . The harmony of the evening was greatly enhanced by the excellent singing , of Bros . W . J . Pilcher , H . J . Atkins , J . J . Hart , J . W . Ingram , Wheeler , J . ' Clifton , F . G . Buckle , George Ellard , J . TJ . Stanton , & o . Bros . Brook Sampson ( piano ) , R . Croft ( harmonium ) , J . T . Smith ( cornet ) accompanied , and also contributed solos .
HOLLOWAT ' PILIS . —The changes of temperature and weather frequently upset persons who are most cautious of their health , and moat particular in their diets . These corrective , purifying , aad gentle aperient Pills are the best remedy for all defective actions of the digestive organs ; they augment the appetite , strengthen the stomach , correct biliousness , and carry off all that is noxious from the system . Holloway ' s Pills are composed of raro balsams , unmixed with baser matter , and on that account are peculiarly well adapted for the young , delicate , and aged . As this peerless me licine has gained fame in the past , so will it preserve it in the future by its renovating and invigorating qualit . es , and its incapacity of doing harm .
