visit . The Deputy Provincial Grand Master , Bro . J . P . BELL , M . D ., also briefly welcomed the brethren present in appropriate terms . Bro . GLAISHER then returned thanks on behalf of the Grand Officers , and in doing so stated that though he had attended similar receptions in

Plymouth and elsewhere , he must say none had excelled that ot that night , and he could scarcely find words to express the gratitude of himself and the visitors .
