Bro . SirW . T . Marriott was heartily applauded on rising to respond . He said he was deeply sensible of his own shortcomings , but with many other obligations surrounding him he carried on the duties of his office to the best of his ability . His labours were materially lessened by the

excellent work of the Provincial Grand Officers , and he could not allow tbe opportunity to paas of speaking in the warmest terms of the zeal and earnest work of their Deputy Provincial Grand Secretary . Bro . F . Bellingham , the W . Provincial Senior Grand Warden responded , and

said his own Lodge wonld appreciate the honour which had been conferred upon him . Bro . W . Vright , fche W . Provincial Grand Junior Warden , also acknowledged the toast , remarking thafc he deeply felt the great honour of being invested by his Royal Highness . His own Lodge
