they met last year they were suffering under the recent loss of their Dep . prov . G . Master , Bro . Thrupp , whose services were well known to them . They felt at that time that as a token of regard and appreciation of Bro . Thrupp's great work , it would be advisable to postpone for a time the
appointment of his successor . Since then he ( the Prov . G . M . ) had appointed Bro . Admiral St . Clair , P . G . D ., as Dep . Prov . G . M . ) Bro . Admiral St . Clair , P . G .

On the nomination of Bro . BARTLEY DENNISS , P . P . G . W ., seconded by Bro . Dr . GARSON , P . P . G . W ., Bro . J . Gordon Langton , P . M . 1460 , was unanimously elected Prov . G . Treasurer . The following Prov . G . Officers were appointed and invested :

M . said it was most desirable , in the interests of Masonry in the province , that the lodges should be adequately represented at the annual gathering . The absence was sometimes caused by inadvertence , and the recollections of the brethren would be quickened by a pecuniary fine .
The D . P . G . M . seconded the proposition , which was unanimously carried .
The sum of 10 guineas was voted to the Vicar of Teddington for local Charities . The roll of lodges was called , and all were represented . On the proposition of Bro . BIDDULPH MARTIN , M . P ., P . P . G . W ., seconded by Bro . J . TICKLE , P . P . G . Reg ., 20 guineas was voted to the South African Relief Fund and 25 guineas to the Indian Famine Fund with which the Prov . G . M . is so closely associated as Secretary of State for India .
The PROV . G . M . said he could not let this vote go by without a word of personal acknowledgment , for he felt very much the motive which had induced the brethren to go somewhat out of the usual procedure to assist in the work being done in India . He thanked them in the name of the Indian people for their assistance and it might afford the brethren satisfaction to know that rain was favourably progressing , and they hoped that in each successive week the number of people receiving relief would be diminished .
The Sir Charles Bright Lodge was thanked for use of furniture and Bro . Forge for his valuable assistance in the arrangements for the meeting . The PROV . G . M . then said that since he had had the honour of being Prov . G . M . he had been most generously supported . That high office made demands upon his time , and he felt he had not adequately discharged the many functions appertaining to the duties . He always looked forward to meet them at these annual gatherings and the dinner enabling him to
renew and increase his friends and acquaintances amongst the Craft . Last year he was unfortunately , at the last moment , laid up by influenza and was obli ged to forego attendance . •Upon the present occasion he had made all arrangements to be present at the meeting and also at the dinner , but late the pievious night he was commanded to attend at Windsor in his capacity as Secretary of State for India , as her Majesty was to receive a well-known
Indian Prince . Whilst appreciating that honour he was sorry it came at such an inopportune moment . He was glad to say the Deputy Prov . G . M . had kindly consented to take his place , and he felt sure Bro . Admiral St . Clair would worthily inaugurate his tenure of office , for the more the brethren and the Deputy came in contact the greater would be their appreciation of him .
Letters of regret were announced from Bros , the Earl of Warwick , Dep . G . M . ; Judge Philbrick Loveland Loveland , and others . The PROV . G . M . announced the candidature of Bro . Horace Brooks Alarshall , a prominent member of the province , for tho Grand Treasurership , and Prov . Grand Lodge was closed . A dinner was subsequently enjoyed under the genial presidency of Bro . Admiral St . Clair , the Dep . Prov . G . Master . In giving "The Queen and the Craft , " the DEP . PROV . G . MASTER

alluded to the wonderful changes ' throughout the realm during her reign . The enormous amount of care upon her Majesty owing to troubles abroad would induce the brethren present to receive the toast with enthusiasm . " H . R . H . the Prince " of Wales , M . W . G . M ., " was next heartily received .
" The Grand Officers " was proposed by the DEP . PROV . G . MASTER , who said that the majority of these brethren were known to them . They were particularly happy that evening in the presence of Grand Officers , including Bro . 'Letchworth , the Grand Secretary , who had done magnificent work for Freemasonry generally , and of whom he could not say too much in praise . The other Grand Officers present were Bros . John Mason , W . Vincent , and John Read .
Bro . E . LETCHWORTH , G . Sec , said that on behalf of the body of G . Officers—one of the most distinguished and popular members of which was their Dep . Prov . G . Master—he tendered their warm thanks for the kind reception given the toast proposed by the Dep . Prov , G . Master in such kind terms . It would hardly become him to reply on behalf of those two very distinguished noblemen , Lords Amherst and Warwick , who shared
with H . R . H . the M . W . G . M . the responsibility of the management of the Order . He was quite sure that the Earl of Warwick deeply regretted that his engagements prevented his attendance that day . With regard to the G . Officers , he could only repeat what they had heard over and over again . They were all actuated by one motive—to advance as far as they could in
their respective spheres the interests of their Order . He could not sit down , as an old member of Middlesex—nearly a quarter of a centurywithout expressing the great honour he felt at being present after a lapse of years to witness the investiture of his old friend Admiral St . Clair as Dep . Prov . G . Master . He would not anticipate what might be said later on , but would simply express his great pleasure at being present on this
. Bro . J MASON , P . G . S . B ., also responded on behalf of the Past G . Officers . "The R . W . Prov . G . Master "was submitted by the DEP . PROV . G . MASTER . He said the brethren of the province knew the excellent qualities of their Prov . G . Master , and also his great regret at being
obliged to return to town owing to a command from her Majesty . For one reason he ( the Dsp . Prov . G . M . ) was glad the Prov . G . Master was not present , for his tongue was not tied . He knew the great interest always taken by Bro . Lord George Hamilton in the province and in Masonry generally , and although he had not been with him very frequently , the
reins of office were heavy upon him , more especially with regard to India . A very great responsibility rested upon their Prov . G . Master , and they must therefore make allowances for him , as it was impossible for him to visit the lodges as he could wish . The members of . the province had that day shown their appreciation ot the Prov . G . Master by voting 25 guineas to the Indian Famine Fund .
Bro . Sir W . QUAYLE J ONES , Prov . S . G . W ., proposed " The Dep . Prov . G . Master . " This was the first occasion on which the toast-had been proposed in reference to Admiral St . Clair , and he hoped it would be given for many years to come . They had seen the genial manner in which the Dep , Prov . G . Master had conducted the proceedings , and in voicing the opinions
of the assembly he would say they were thankful to the Prov . G . Master for selecting such an excellent Deputy . They had heard from the G . Secretary how popular Admiral St . Clair was in Grand Lodge . Where would they have expected to look for him except amongst the handy men ? They felt sure the present Deputy would worthily follow Bro . Thrupp , and emulate him in the love of the brethren .
Bro . Admiral ST . CLAIR , Dep . Prov . G . Master , in his reply said he did not know how to thank them for the kindly way in which they had received the toast . He would not say he came amongst them as a stranger , for he would not allow the term , but he professed to be a " handy man , " and in that capacity he had been in every part of the globe , and belonged to lodges in many parts . He had never been to any lodge where he Bad
not received good fellowship . Masonry was not a name only , for it had a higher aspect , and if properly carried out there was an immense deal in it . The way in which he had been received amongst them that day made him feel perfectly at home . When he was first offered the office he had some qualms , knowing he should have a great deal to do and wondering if he should do it properly . He was told there were a good lot of brethren in
the province who would receive him well and work in brotherly love with him , and that if he found fault , it would be taken kindly and fraternally . He hoped to visit all the lodges—which was a large order . His disposition was good , and he had a good amount of common sense , and he , therefore , hoped that a year hence they would be able to say that he had fairly done
what was expected of him . If they only received his health with the same enthusiasm at the end of the year he should be thoroughly satisfied . He liked order and uniformity and everything in its place , and if he found fault or suggested an improvement , he hoped they would take it in the spirit in which it was meant . He again thanked them and assured them that he would do his level best .
In proposing " The Provincial Grand Officers , the DEP . PROV . G . M . hoped they would have a happy year of office . The first Prov . Grand Officer he met was the Prov . Grand Secretary , who was perfectly willing to carry out his work in a thoroughly efficient manner . Bro . Sir W . Q UAYLE J ONES , Prov . S . G . W ., returned thanks for the toast , and said they would do their best to promote Masonry in Middlesex . Bro . H . F . BING , Prov . G . Sec , also replied . Although he had but
recently taken up the duties of Prov . Grand Secretary , he had been a member of the province for 24 years . He had not visited many lodges in the past , but they would know more of him in the future . It was a very difficult task to take up a post at short notice , but he hoped his efforts had met with their approval . He could assure them that nothing would be wanting on his part to further the welfare of the province . Me should do his best in the general interests of Freemasonry . He was not speaking
