the part of His Royal Highness , such omission must be considered as purely accidental , and arising , in all probability , from the novelty of his own situation . The natal day of the Duke of Sussex is approaching .
To every liberal heart , such a day is one of rejoicing—to the Mason it is a day of happiness . We last year expressed a hope that the annual testimony of regard so proudly and personally felt for His Royal Highness by the Order , might have been probably commemorated in reference to our
aged Brethren ; and that the 27 th of January would be held in p erpetuity as a future memorial of the granted boon ; but time must necessarily be required to shape all matters into
existence and form . In alluding last year to the Grand Master's birth-day , we anticipated a meeting calculated not merely to gratify those who should assemble , but also to convince the Royal Mason , that—although absent from our view he must be
always present in our gratitude . We were not disappointed . This year we presage a still livelier proof of our forethought . The Board of Stewards are ready and determined that the proceedings shall not lack spirit or liberality ; and we feel that we are not mistaken in our conviction ,
that the recent nomination , and the names of the present Board of Stewards , will even more than usually gratify the illustrious individual whom it is thus intended to honour .
The Grand Stewards Lodge we have been informed have determined to suspend their own banquet , and to attend as a body on the Birth-day , as a personal mark of Masonic duty . The Craft at large will duly appreciate this compliment , so honourable to the Grand Master and to themselves .
