M . said : It was not his desire nor his intention to inflict on the company , who ho was pleased to see

had assembled so numerously , any long speeches . He should , therefore , at once proceed to the first toast , which was that of the health of " The Queen . " The brethren would all agree with him that her conduct throughout life had been everything they could wish , and that she had done all in her power to endear herself to her subjects . The W . M . then proposed the health of " The : Prince and Princess of

Wales , and the rest of the Royal Family . The Princess of Wales was universally respected and beloved by the English people , and as for the Prince he had a double claim on those gathered around this board . All who Avere present at the Albert Hall , on the 28 th of April last , conld testify to the manner in which His Royal Highness had performed his duties , in fact , he had , by his conduct on that

occasion , created an impression that would not be forgotten , and all would agree with him when he stated the Prince was a large-hearted and generous man . The W .

He had no hesitation in saying that the Prince was a good Mason , and he was sure that , when the time arrived , he Avould

make a good King . " Bro . F . Kent , C . C , I . P . M . rose to propose the next toast , " The Worshipful Master , " Avhich was most enthusiastically received , and duly responded to , tho W . M . saying that the unfavorable state of tho weather had been a matter of seriona concern to him , as he had feared it would sadly reduce the number of those who he hoped to see assemble round him , but the fact that his brethren and

their lady friends , to the number of 85 , had braved the storm and were gathered together was exceedingly gratifying , and he might safely say their meeting was a great success . The several toasts of "The Past Masters , " "Tho Visitors , " "The Officers , " "The Stewards , " and " The Ladies , " wero then given , the example set by tho W . M ., as to brevity , being adhered to by those brethren who

rose to reply .
