The grand total amounted to £ 5 , 063 ns . ; and Bro . Terry stated that thirteen lists , not included in that amount , had still to come in . ( Great cheering . ) Bro . Capt . Piatt : A sense of gratitude , if no other reason existed , calls upons us to drink the
health of a brother whose constant endeavours are to promote the welfare of Freemasonry . The toast I wish to propose is " The Health of Lord Waveney , P . G . M . for Suffolk . " By presiding over us at this meeting of benevolence he has won golden opinions from all , and by his
influential presence has lent a charm and lustre to a charitable gathering . In grateful acknowledgment of his support let us charge our glasses to the brim , wishing that health and happiness and every blessing may be accorded to our brother during the remaining term of his natural life .
In returning thanks the Chairman said : — This last passage of my Masonic life has been honoured with a degree of kind reception by you for which I confess I was in no wise prepared . I do not speak in the language of self-deprecation , which I hold a very bad compliment to
those I address ; but indeed I was not prepared to believe that the duties of Chairman merited the kind reception which you have given me . I have done what I can for the benefit of the Craft and I hold that it is a great happiness to preside on this occasion when the enlarged bonds of
your charity show , as I learn from your Secretary , a larger amount than in any year except that which was under the presidency of His Royal Highness , the P . G . M ., and believe me those who are _ placed in trust in the Masonic body find their greatest reward in such kind
receptions of their efforts as you have shown this evening . I thank you heartily and drink "Health and Prosperity to the Charity . " And now brethren I will thank you to drink prosperity to the other Masonic charities . The Boys' School , of which the festival is oa the 1 ith
Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution.
March , and the Girls' School , whose festival will be held on the 13 th May . I trust they will be equally fortunate with this charity . Of this I am sure , that you will findMn the annual improvement of those children whose education and instruction you have undertaken , a sure proof of
the value of the system under whicb those schools are conducted . With respect to the reproach that I have not made myself acquainted with the working of the Institution , perhaps the reason was that I could gather that the results were so satisfactory that I did not see the
necessity of inquiring into the details ; I was content to leave the schools to their able managers . I g ive you " The Masonic Institutions , the Boys' and and the Girls' Schools , coupled with the name of Bro . Binckes , the Secretary of the Boys ' School . "
Bro . Binckes , in returning thanks , said that it was very characteristic of these associations for the success of the Masonic institutions , that at each meeting the prosperity of the others was never forgotten , and a toast for their prosperit y never omitted . On these occasions it was always
usual for the officer attached to the Institution whose festival was nearest to be called upon to reply , and as the Festival of the Boys' School was to be held on the J rth March , it was therefore that , he being attached particularly to that Institution , returned thanks on the
present occasion . He went on to say that though for the next three weeks men ' s minds would be greatly occupied with the engrossing business of the parliamentary elections , be trusted that before the festival of the Boys' School came round , people would have had time to get over that
excitement and that the success of the Festival would not be endangered thereby . He concluded by thanking the brethren for the manner in which the toast had been received . The health of the ladies was then proposed in a few effective words from Bro . Capt . Piatt , and
duly honoured . The Chairman : Brethren , the end of a very pleasant evening has come at last , an evening wo shall all of us recollect with much pleasure , I am sure , but it would be strange indeed if we closed these proceedings without recollecting how
much the success , the comfort , and the splendour of the reception and this banquet is dependent upon the exertions of those officers whose health I am about to give you . I give you the toast of "The Stewards . " The Stewards isa wide word , and I take it in its widest acceptation , the Stewards who have in the first instance
represented their provinces here , andthoseStewards who have so thoroughly organised all that is satisfactory in this evening ' s feast . I have had occasion to remark for the first time how perfect the arrangement lias been , to see indeed so great a number meet together for purposes of
conviviality with the same quiet and comfort as at similar meetings in their own houses , is a marvel for which we owe service and obligation . The health of the Stewards , coupled with the name of Bro . the Rev . Charles Martyn , Past Grand Chaplain .
Bro . the Rev . C . Martyn having responded to the toast , the brethren adjourned to the Grand Lodge room , where they were entertained with some excellent music , both vocal and
instrumental . Ihe professional ladies and gentlemen who performed on the occasion were Miss Banks , Miss Marion Severn , Miss Matilda Scott , Bro . Frank Elmore , Bro . Chaplin Henry , Bro . Lazarus , Bro . W . Dawson , and Bro . F . H . Cozens , the musical arrangements being under the direction of Bro . Seymour Smith , to whom
great credit is due for his successful management . The banquet was all that could be desired , even from Bro . Francate'li , the Manager cf the Tavern . We must not omit to mention that the brethren had the advantage of the services of Bro . Harker , the Civic Toast Master , whose fine metallic voice rang from end to end of the great banquet room .
