The toast was duly honoured , and Brother HALTON briefly returned thanks . The noble Chairman then quitted the hall , preceded by the Steivards , and the Brethren and friends joined the ladies ( who had graced the gallery ) in the concert-room up stairs , where the song and the dance enlivened the social hour , under the superintendence of Bros . AVatkins and Brewsterwhose attention to the ladies was marked bthe courtesy
, y and hospitality which Masonic gentlemen feel to be a duty as well as delight to practice . AVe have reported the mere facts , but how can we describe the effect of this Alasonic Jubilee ? Social discipline was admirably perfect ; the duties of the chair were observed with precision ; the Steivards were attentive , and the company happy . The concert vied in excellence with a regular musical sceance , excepting that it was the more agreeable from its being
free from premeditated arrangement , and the ladies expressed their unqualified delight ; AVe do not like to encourage " Pryism , " but it were to be wished that some Brother Paul could report the arrangements , that the other festivals might partake of the social feeling that characterised the present . The best proof of its genuine excellence may be stated in the fact , that the concluding toast of " The Stewards , " was given amid the same propriety and attention as the first to " Her Majesty , " and the thanks of the President were given distinctly , and received ivith a grateful compliment of approbation .
