source of satisfaction and happiness to the Prince and Princess of Wales , and the othor members of the Royal Family . In speaking of the Grand Secretary , Bro . Colonel Shadwell H . Clerke , Bro . Bradley said that zealous brother
gave most thoughtful and careful attention to all matters affecting the welfare of Masonry . In speaking of the R . W . Bro . Sir Daniel Gooch , Bart ., Prov . Grand Master , Bro . Brownrigg expressed the regret all the brethren must feel that Sir Daniel was not able to be present . They entertained the hope , however , that Sir Daniel ' s illness was merely of a transitory character , and that when they next met the Prov . Grand Master would be in his usual place . On Bro . Tompkins P . M . devolved the duty of proposing the next toast , the health of the Deputy Prov . Grand Master , who acknowleged the compliment , and proposed tho toast of the Masonic Charities , to which Bro . Terry , tho Sec . to the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution , replied . For the Prov . Grand Officers , Bros . Margrett and Cox
responded . For the W . M . ' s and Officers of the Reading Lodges , Bros . Shorwood and Slaughter replied . Other toasts givon were the health of the Prov . Grand Treasurer aud Prov . Grand Secretary , and Bro 3 . Stephens and
Bradley replied ; the latter announced that the next Prov . Grand Lodge would be held at Aylesbury . The health of tho Caterer , Bro . Flanagan , and the Stewards , with the
Tyler ' s toast completed the business . The singing throughout displayed a high order of cultivation . The musical arrangements were carried out by Bros . E . Richardson , H .
0 . Crane P . M ., and W . E . Knowlcs , under the direction of Bro . A . Rowley P . M .
