They not only maintained their dignity as men but as Masons . He had to thank them for the many gifts received from their Province , and to congratulate them upon the fact that ono of their boys was successful at the recent election , at which they must be
all gratified . Two men and two women from this Province were on tho list for tho May election . He thought from what ho c « uld ascertain that all would be successful . Tbe greatest compliment overpaid to a brother in connection with tho Masonic Charities was that ace "ded bv Kent to Bro . Brazier , whose daughter was elected to the i ' ¦ Is '

Kirby's health , wishing him a long career of future prosperity . The toast was received with Masonic honours , and Bro . Kirby , in reply , returned hia heartfelt thanks for the manner in which he had been greeted on this happy
occasion . Ho assured them that the kind way in which Bro . Terry and the W . M . had spoken of him would urge him to do all he possibly could for tho good of the Lodge .

As Installing Master he had endeavoured to do his best , and ho was amply rewarded if ho had discharged the
duties to their satisfaction . Bro . Botting S . W . then gave the health of the Past Masters of the Lodge . They were very fortunate in having so many good P . M .

Usher said it afforded him great pleasure to return thanks for tho
P . M . s . It was a source of satisfaction to them to see so many present to do honour to the Lodge . But it seemed to him that they wero almost a nonentity , for tho Officers were so well up in their duties ; if , however , they were at auy time appealed to , they would do all they could for the welfare of the Lodge . Bro . Harrison , in proposing tho health of tho Visitors , said it was a toast which he was sure they
would join iu drinking with the greatest enthusiasm . They had been hononred by many members of the neighbouring Lodges , to whom , on behalf of the Lord Warden Lodge , he begged to tender their hearty thanks .

responding , thanked the W . M . for the kindly terms in which the toast had been couched , and said the officers intended to show by their work that the high opinion the W . M . had expressed of them should be justified . The official list closed with the Tyler ' s toast , and the brethren soon afterwards separated . During the evening some excellent vocal selections were given , by a choir of boys under the direction of the S . W ., whilst some capital songs were sung at intervals
by the brethren , the following programme being most effectively rendered : — "The Mariner , " "The Sleighing Song , " "The Three Fishers , " " O , who will o ' er the Downs ?
