in an architectural point of view , may prove also one of its highest , advantages , conducing in its results to the erection ancl maintenance of that social structure so important to the glory ancl prosperity of our own country . ( Cheers ) . Gentlemen , a toast is placed in my hands which I feel to be a high compliment , hut which I feel is placed there more on account of my individual than my official position , for I have not the happiness , of calling a lady my own . The toast refers to that portion of the human race

which civilised man ever delights to honour , and which he honours in exact proportion as he is civilized . ( Loud applause ) . Gentlemen , whatever efforts we make to improve the moral tone of the labouring classes , We shall always find the ladies co-operate with us , nor shall we succeed unless they do . ( Hear ) . I hope the ladies of Bradford and of adjacent towns will often be found in St . George ' s Hall , exercising there the beneficial influence of thenpresence ancl character , for it is the influence of woman that forms the character of the nation . The toast which I feel it an honour to propose , is , " The Countess of Zetland and the Ladies . " ( Drunk with enthusiastic applause ) .

The M . W . GRAND MASTER acknowledged the toast . He said—as the name of my lady has been coupled with the last toast , I beg in her name to return thanks for the high compliment you have paid her . I can assure you that if there is any work in which the Countess of Zetland takes especial interest , it is the erection of a Music Hall . Not only is she enthusiastically fond of music , but she is not a very had performer herself , as a worthy Brother of mine not far distant can testify . I am sure , when I tell her of the compliment you have paid hershe will be highly delighted .

, Indeed , hacl it not been for the long journey , which she did not feel able to undertake , she was most anxious to have accompanied me here to clay . ( Cheers ) . I shall not have the presumption to return thanks on behalf of the ladies of Bradford in general , but I am quite sure that no one could have drunk her health more cordially than I have clone . ( Loud cheers ) The Most AVorshipful Grand Master here left the room , being escorted to the carriage of C . WaudEsq . by the Officers ofthe Grand Lodgeseveral

, , of the directors of St . George ' s Hall Company , and other gentlemen . The whole company rose , and heartily cheered the noble lord as lie retired . The MAYOR was called lo the vacant chair , and proceeded to give , as the next toast , " The P . G . M . of AA est Yorkshire , the Bight Hon . the Earl of Mexborough . " ( Drunk with Masonic honours . ) The MAYOR then called upon John Rand , Esq ., to propose the next

toast . JOHN RAND , Esq . said—Mr . Mayor and Gentlemen , whether it is because a little while ago I replied to a toast , and therefore have a fair claim to give a toast , or whether it is that the toast I have been called upon to give is known to be one in which I feel no little interest , ancl one which will impart to myself no little pleasure , I say not—but at once I give you " The health of the Vicar and Clergy of Bradford . " ( Cheers . ) Nor am I at all mistaken in supposing that this toast is in correct accordance with your

own feelings . The manner in wliich you have received it proves that I am not wrong , and . at once I can say that no toast could be given in this room , among the inhabitants of this large borough , more gratifying to them , than the health of our worthy and respected Vicar . ( Renewed cheering . ) He is well known to us all ; he is a kind of public property ; he comes amongst us with no sectarian , no narrow principles ; he takes his proper position as the spiritual head of this parish , ancl devotes his time and his talents to promote its spiritual and its temporal interests . ( Cheers . ) He
