The banquet which followed was presided over by the R . W . Provincial Grand Master who , on the removal of the cloth , gave " The Qaeen and the Craft , " followed by "The Most Worshipful the Grand Master of England , His Royal Highness tbe Prince of Wales . " In proposing the latter toast , the P . G . M . said His Royal Highness was always engaged in useful pursuits , and particularly in the cause of
charity he was always anxious and ready to fulfil his Masonio duties . He hoped that ere long they wonld see him again presiding in the Grand Lodge of England . He was sure there would be a large concourse of brethren who would be glad to have the opportunity of testifying their Masonio loyalty . In proposing the third toast , " The Most Worshipful the Pro Grand Master of England , the Earl of
Carnarvon , and the Officers and past Officers of the Grand Lodge , " the Chairman alluded to Lord Carnarvon's connection with the county of Hampshire . The Deputy Prov . Grand Master Bro .

great inconvenience to fulfil the dnties of bis high office . He was always most assiduous in his efforts to please the brethren , and in his anxiety to execute the duties of his office to the advantage of the Craft . The Prov . Grand Master , in responding , said it was with peculiar gratification he attended on the present occasion , because Bournemouth was situated in the most extreme part of the Province
and he and the other Provincial Grand Officers were anxious to show their active interest in the prosperity and working of the Lodge Hengist . He regarded intercourse between the Provincial Grand Lodge and the Lodges in the Province as having a most salutory influence . During his tennre of office he had always done his best to fulfil the duties adequately , and he believed
though he could not say , to some extent successfully . In the present day it was doubly important to reflect on the nature and meaning of Masonic duties , and it was especially incumbent on them to prove themselves worthy members of the Craft . Masonry was no light matter . Neophytes were not invited into their ranks to gratify curiosity , but to learn to fulfil great and important duties with regard
to social life . For himself he could say that he esteemed it both a duty and a pleasure on all suitable occasions to advocate true Masonic sentiments and practices . In conclusion , he referred to the advantage to the Provincial Grand Lodge from the renewed acceptance of the office of Prov . Grand Secretary by Bro . Le Feuvre . He then proposed the health of Brother Hickman , the Depnty
Provincial Grand Master . Bro . Hickman , in reply , said it always gave him the greatest pleasure to support the Provincial Grand Master , whose earnest desire was to uphold Hampshire and the Isle of Wight as foremost among the Provincial Grand Lodges of England . It was not quantity but quality that was desirable in the Lodgesand in this respect Hampshire
, had always been prominent . Brother J . Druitt Jan ., Bournemouth , also responded for the Officers of the Grand Lodge , and returned thanks for the honour and distinction which had that day been conferred on him—an honour as much prized at it was unexpected—of being appointed P . G . S . W . He esteemed it as an individual honour , as well as honour to his mother Lodge . Referring
to the fact that his father was the oldest member of Lodge Hengist , Bro . Draitt said he could not help feeling that the position in which he found himself that day was in some degree the resnlt of his father ' s long service to the Lodge . Bro . Le Feuvre P . G . S . & c , expressed the pleasure he felt at being again associated with the active Masonic working of the Province , the Masonic circumstances of which were
now quite different from what they were at the time of his resignation . The toast of the Masonio Charities was then given , and duly honoured , Bro . E . T . Bndden , of Wimborne , in connection therewith , | " nging a cha . ity song compiled and arranged by him . —Porttmouth Times .

GREAT WESTERN TOURIST ARRANGEMENTS .
L | OR some days past fashionable London has been preparing to ... 8 eek rQfa §! e ifi ^ e country , from the burly -burly of the season while strong contingents of middle class folk have alread y found a ing . plaoe w ^ the cares and troubles of business or professional b th ati 0 nS ^ mornentai % forgotten . Bnt there are thousands , t ° of fashionable and middle class people , who have not yet
adven-. ua lQ eir summer holiday , and to whom a few words of advice the * w / - they should go and what do with themselves during adv f S 8 nCe fr 0 m Lon ( ion wil 1 be very welcome .

northwards into Scotland , and thence in due time returning by tho cast , to resume once again his labours in the calling he follows . All this , however , is so well known to our readers that without farther circumlocution wo will enter on our present task of drawing their attention to tho special facilities which are afforded to intending travellers by the Great Western Railway Company . The line itself
traverses some of the finest parts of the country , and for convenience sake may be subdivided into three districts , the West of England , the South Wales , and the North Wales . The first named inclndea I ho counties of Gloucester , Somerset , Dorset , Devon , and Cornwall , and there is no gainsaying the fact that some of the loveliest of our English scenery is to be found in these counties . If a residence at
the sea-side is preferred , there is the choice of such well-known resorts as Weymouth , Barnstaple , Ilfracombe , Lynton , Clevedon , VVeston-Super-Mare , Minehoad , Dawlish , Teignmouth , Torquay , Dartmouth , Plymouth , Newquay , Falmouth , St . Ives , Penzance , & o . If the tourist prefers some inland resort , there are Cheltenham , Clifton , Bath , Malvern , Leamington , and other places innumerable , which , in their
several ways , are almost equally attractive . The South Wales district embraces Abergavenny , Monmouth , Chepstow , Tintern , Neath , Swansea , Carmarthen , Tenby , & o . ; while the North Wales ( which is reached vi & Birmingham , Shrewsbury and Ruabon ) , include ! Llangollen , Corwen , Bala , Dolgelly , and Barmouth , and via Ruabon and Chester , Rhyl , Abergele , Llandudno , Conway , Befcfcws-y-cold ,
Penmaenmawr , Bangor , Carnarvon , & c , on to Holyhead . In addition , between Bristol or Milford there is communication , by a regular service of steamers , with Cork , Waterford , and the Lakes of Killarney , while from Holyhead , passage may be taken across St . George ' s Channel to Dublin , Belfast , & o . From Manchester it is an easy transition by rail to Scotland—Edinburgh , Glasgow , and the Highlands beingequally acces
sible , and then tnrning once again in a southerly direction , communication is easily had with the Yorkshire watering-places , Scarborough , Whitby , and , by working on through other lines , with the Eastern coast , with attractions such as Hunstanton , Yarmouth , Cromer , Lowestoft , & c , & c . Then we have the Lake District , and the Isle of Man j Buxton , Matlock , and the lovely country in their neighbourhood . The
Channel Islands are readily accessible from Weymouth , as likewise is Cherbourg , and thence to Paris ; while with but little trouble all the favourite places on the South coast , the only District we have passed over , can be reached with the greatest facility . In short the Great Western Company , either by the lines it has under its own immediate control , or by those with which it has established relations , is in a
position to convey the tourist to all parts of the United Kingdom as well as to the Continent . In the foregoing remarks we have contented ourselves with indicating , in general terms , the wonderful facilities for travel which are offered by the Great Western Railway . We will now more precisely note the advantages the directors submit to the pnblic
during the holiday season now current . As a rule , two months is the outside limit which the tourist can ordinarily compass for his holiday , and hence tickets available for that period , bnt renewable on most reasonable conditions , are at the service of the public . The tickets will be issued as late as the 31 st October , and they can be renewed as a rule to the 31 st December .
They are to be obtained at the Company ' s headquarters at Paddington , at Westbourne Park , Notting Hill , Uxbridge Road , Shepherd ' s Bush , Hammersmith , Kensington , Earl's Court , Westminster Bridge , Charing Cross , Blackfriars , Mansion House , Victoria , Kings Cross , Farringdon-street , Moorgate-street , Bishopsgate , and Aidgate Stations on the Metropolitan and Metropolitan District
Lines , and at Cook ' s Tourist and Excursion Offices , Ludgate Circus , E . C The fares are remarkably moderate , and every opportunity is afforded the traveller for breaking and deviating from the direct line of his journey . For North and South Wales and Valley of the W ye , circular tourist tickets are issued for no less than five different routes . By the first of these passengers go by rail to Tenby in & Whitland or
New Milford , and back to Carmarthen , thence vid , Pencader , Man . Chester , & c . ; and Milford and Cambrian lines to Dolgelly , returning from the last-named place viO , Bala and the Vale of Llangollen to Ruabon , and thence to Shrewsbury , or vice versa ,. As the journey may be broken at frequent intervals , the tourist will have the opportunity of visiting Gloucester , Chepstow , Newport , Swansea , Tenby ,
Aberystwith , Dolgelly , Bala , the Vale of Llangollen , & c , Ac . The second route is to Dolgelly vvl Ruabou , the Vale of Llangollen and Bala , returning from Dolgelly by way of Barmouth junction , Machynlleth , and Oswestry , or Welshpool and Shrewsbury , or vice versd . Route three differs from Route two in tbat the journey , after continuing by Barmouth and Afon Wen to
Carnarvon , returns by way of the Chester and Holyhead Railway to Chester , or vice versd ,. The fonrth and fifth routes traverse the Valley of the Wye , and the tickets are available for travelling only once over the same ground , except the fonrth route tickets from Pontypool Road to Monmouth and back . The routes , according to the point selected for starting , are described at full length in
the Company's Time Tables and Tourist Programmes . Though these two-monthly tickets are the principal feature of the arrangements , it must not be imagined that they are the full extent of the train service for the extra holiday traffic of the season . Short return tickets to all the principal places on the line , or with which the line is in communication are issued at moderate fares , while facilities
nre afforded for those who may wish to avail themselves of other excursions which are not immediately included in the programme issued by the Company . Those , however , who are desirous of obtaining fuller particulars than we , having regard to the limited space at our command , are able to furnish , will do well to consult the Great Western Time Tables issued for July , August , and September . They
will there find all needful information as to times , fares , possible breaks in the journey , steamboat communications in connection with tbe line , & c , & c . As to the comforts afforded to passengers enroute , the Company is too well known for us to go out of our way to enlarge on them . They may be equalled , but they cannot be surpassed on any other line in the kingdom ,
