He admitted that much of the nucoesa of the day ' s proceedings was duo to tho Deputy Master , who , he added , had promised him his hearty support , iu the future .

The Deputy P . Graud Master , acknowledging the toast , observed that for more than a quarter of a century he had been an executive officer of the Province , having served under threo rulers , aud ho had installed no fewer than 350 W . Masters . After so many years of active work , he did

lately think ho might havo been allowed less responsibility and moro freedom , but it had been pointed out that ifc would be inadvisable to " swop " horses whilst crossing a stream ; and hence he had accepted tho kind offer that day

to again enter upon office . He had overy reason to believe that the Prov . Grand Master ' s term of offico would be as successful as that of any of hia predecessors ; and he could be suro of the loyal support of all the brethren .
