fcrred upon them . Tho VV . M . said tho next toast he should ask tin brethren to drink was tho Provincial Grand Master for Middlesex and the rest of tho Provincial Grant ! Officers . They wero particularly fortunate in meeting on one of tho most charming spots in Great Britain ; he regretted that their Provincial Grand Mas * or was not mesent with them that evening , but hoped in tho future ho would

honour them with his company . They had had tho pleasure of a visit from him once , and ono of their members ( Bro . Tickle ) had been appointed as one of the Prov . Grand Officers . Ho should couple with tho toast tho namo of Bro . Tickle . Bro . Tickle said , in responding , that he was sorry that tho Provincial Grand Master was not with them that night to seo with his own

eyes what was passing there ; it was a great misfortune to them that ho was not amongst them . In tho namo of tho Provincial Grand Officers he begged to return thanks . Tho AVor . Master said the next toast he shonld have the pleasure of bringing before them that evening was a very pleasing one to him . Ho had had tlio p leasure of introducing two gentlemen into the Order , and he was

sure that both of them wonld do credit to tho Lodge . He had known Bro . Andrews for somo time , and therefore had great pleasure in introducing him to tho Lodge , as he was sure that ho would bo a credit to it . Having passed a warm compliment upon Bro . Watson , tho VV . M . concluded by proposing tho health of their newly-initiated brethren , Andrews and AVatson . Bro . Veal cave , with good effect ,

"The Entered Apprentice" song . Bro . Andrews said he was unaccustomed to speak iu public ; ho would only say that ho would endeavour to carry out the tenets of Freemasonry to the best of his ability . Bro . AVatson said he thanked them from his heart for tho very kind manner in which thoy had drunk his health ; tho ceremony ho had gone through was so deeply impressed upon him

that he could not express himself in proper terms ; he would do his best to prove himself a worthy Mason . Bro . Roberts I . P . M . said ho had with tho utmost pleasure to propose tho next toast ; it was one that he was sure would be reciprocated by every brother in tho Lodge . It , however , was an easy one , as it was the health of the W . M ., who was well known to them , and whose good qualities wero

admitted by all . Ho was a most worthy brother , and ho was sure that every one in tho Lodge was proud of him as VV . M . AVisliing him _ a prosperous year , he asked tho brethren to drink his health , hoping that for many years he might bo amongst them . Tho toast was cordiall y received . The AV . M . thanked Bro . Roberts for tho very kind manner in which his health had beeu drunk . Ho could assure

them that if ho should fail in giving them satisfaction it would not be from want of inclination but from want of ability . Tho next toast ho had to propose was tho Past Masters ; after alluding to the services of Bro . Tickle , he said that Bro . Roberts , contrary to the advice of his medical man , at great inconvenience had come amongst them to carry out his duties as AV . M . Ho had great pleasure , in the

name of tho Lodge , in presenting him with a jewel , trusting that for many years he might be a member of tho Lodgo , ancl give them the benefit of his advice and good counsel . Bro . Roberts returned thanks , and after somo other toasts had been given the proceedings wero brought to a close , and most of tho brethren returned to town , having spent a day of unmixed pleasure .
