Dessert bavins- been placed before the company , the customary Loyal and Mark Masonic toasts were given from the chair , Bro . Richnell allnding in appropriate terms to the
recent dastardly attempt upon the life of her Majesty , and echoing the abhorrence which had been expressed throughout the country at the insane attack made upon her . All Masons were especially grateful for her preservation , and the restorative effect of tbe Queen ' s Continental visit , and they rejoiced at her Majesty ' s safe return to the country over which she so wisely reigned , and in the hearts of
whose people she was so sincerely beloved . What rendered her doubly dear to the brethren of this Lodge was the fact that the banner under which they assembled bore the honoured name of her Majesty ' s youngest son , whom they all heartily congratulated upon his approaching marriage . The toasts were received with the utmost loyalty and enthusiasm . The W . M . then gave the health of the
Grand Officers Past and Present , alluding in suitable terms to the valuable services they rendered to Mark Masonry , and the admirable way in whioh Grand Mark Lodge was administered . The toast met a cordial reception , and was acknowledged in a few happily-chosen sentences by Bro . T . C . Walls P . M . P . G . S . B ., who spoke of the rapid growth and
extension of Mark Masonry , especially in recent years . The Immediate Past Master then gave the toast of the evening , ihe health of Bro . T . R . Richnell , who had just been promoted to the highest dignity ifc was in the power of the brethren to bestow upon him . They had all seen the admirable way in which he had discharged fche duties of the minor offices throngh which ho had passed ; and his acceptance of
the highest post amongst them was an augury of the future prosperity of the Lodge . The W . Master , who was most cordially greeted on rising to respond , expressed his deep sense of the honour which the brethren had conferred npon him , and complimented his Immediate Past Master upon the efficient manner in which he had acquitted himself as Installing Officer . By the generosity of the
brethren he had attained the high position to which all Mark Masons might well aspire , and he appreciated the kindly expressions with whioh his elevation to that rank had been accompanied . He relied npon them for their forbearance in any shortcomings which might occur through his want of ability adequately to discharge the important functions of that office , but assured them he should
endeavour to the utmost of his power and strength to advance the bf-st and trnesfc interests of the Ledge . He left himself entirely in their hands , but had no doubt that , with the assistance and co-operation of his Officers , he should be able to discharge the trust reposed in him to their satisfaction . Ho hoped that at the expiration of his term of office he should be able to hand
down the insignia to his successor with their lustre at least nndiminished . He then proposed the health of the Immediate Past Master , who had so well performed the installation that evening , and to whom his best thanks and tho thanks of the brethren were so eminently due . He should endeavour to emulate the excellent example set him by Bro . Tisley , who had proved himself an orra . ment to the Lodge , and had won golden opinions from the brethren

generally . In conclusion , he asked Bro . Tisley ' s acceptance of a handsome Past Master's jewel , whioh had been provided by the unanimous vote of the brethren , as a mark of their esteem and in recognition of the substantial and valuable services he had rendered to the Lodge . He hoped their esteemed Immediate Past Master would not value it merely for its intrinsic worth , but as au
expression of the respect and affection of the brethren , whose interests he had so assiduously promoted . They all wished him long life and health to wear that jewel , and hoped he might always have ns much pleasure in adorning his breast with so well-earned a tribnte of esteem as it afforded him ( the W . M . ) . in presenting him with it that evening . Bro . Tisley Immediate Past Master , who was
received with prolonged applause , thanked the brethren for the magnificent gift with which they had presented him , but much more for the kindly expressions with whioh it had been ao . companied . He assured them he was deeply sensible of their generous appreciation of his humble efforts to promote the interests of the Lodge , and said he should continue to do all he
could to advance its prosperity in the future . He trusted the Officers and brethren would rally round their newly elected W . M ., and assist him in promoting the true interests of the Prince Leopold Lodge . He should be glad to render what aid he could to Brother Richnell in tho performano of his duties , and , in saying so , he felfc he was supported by the whole of the Past Masters , Officers , and brethren of the Lodge .
