Prov . G . S . D . "Ihe centre table ( facing the Chairman ) was presided over by Brother Alsop , and the other

two by brothers Fearon and Atter respectively . The Chairman gave the first toast on the list of all loyal Meetings of that kind—the health of Her Majesty the Queen . Although her sex prevented her from being a Alason , as understood by their rules , still in every relation of life , either

in public or private , she had proved that practcially she was one . The toast was drunk with all the honours . The Chairman next gave the health of one whose health they ought to drink with enthusiasm , whether from a Masonic or a patriotic point of

view , and that was His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales . The Prince was one of their most illustrions craftsmen , and a Past Grand Officer of England . With the toast he coupled the name of hischarming consorti the Princess of Wales , and the rest ofthe Royal Family . Drunk with three times three .

Brother Bentinck , M . P ., and P . Prov . G . Registrar , said that , having been requested to propose the next toast , he accepted the invitation with much pleasure . Itwas hislot to addressa large assembly in this town in the course of last week , and he then dilated upon the great advantages

there were in being Englishmen . Now , one of the advantages of a person being an Englishman and an English Mason was that he was protected and encouraged by the clergy of all denominations . There was an erroneous opinion on the Continent ,

amongst the clergy of the Christian Churches , that had predominance there , that Alasonry was an institution which was contrary to the principles of God Almighty , and that no man could be a Freemason unless he had some

mischievous intent in the background . That belief , however , proceeded from entire ignorance and superstition , for it was well known that where the principles of Masonry were promulgated such ideas did not long prevail . As Englishmen and English Alasons they were

proud to see not only their brethren who stood almost at the head of their profession , but also the clergy of all denominations . In this town they had one who was an ornament to the Church , and zealous , active Churchman—one who was always ready to promote every good

work in connection with Masonry . Having made this preface , he desired to propose the toast that had fallen to his lot , " The Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese , and including the Clergy of all Denominations , " coupled with the name of Brother the Rev . F . W . Wicks , P . A . G .

Chaplain . He would take this opportunity of expressing , on behalf of the brethren , their thanks to Brother Wicks for having taken the part he did in the service that day . He also begged to couple with the toast the name of Brother the Rev . J . Tyson , P . G . Chaplain .

Brother I ) son briefly responded , expressing the pleasure the clergy felt in meeting the brethren upon all occasions . Brother Wicks , who also replied , said it was with the greatest pleasure that he occupied the position which he had done that morning , lt

certainly was not his duty to have occupied the pulpit that day , but having been requested to do so by some of the brethren , he of course willingly undertook the office , not wishing to shiik anything . It always gave him pleasure to fulfil

any duties that were imposed upon him as a brother Mason . He felt hi ghly gratified at the compliment they had paid to the Bishop and clergy of the diocese . The Bishop and clergy , in their various paths of life , were all very anxious to aid the good cause of Freemasonry , as they

considered it a just and a true one . The quotation which he made that morning was from a record of the Bishop of Alanchester , who , like their own Bishop , was not a Alason . At the same time , their Bishop admired Freemasonry , and if the clergy ofthe Church admired the institution as

one that was striving to help mankind , why did they not become Alasons ? There was a great deal in the name , and b y combination with a certain class of men in the Order , they might fulfil the great duties of human life with profit and pleasure . They knew as well as he did that

the Bishop , when requested to preach a sermon for the brethren of their ancient Order , willingly did so , entering into facts which proved that he had not only compared the practical part of Freemasonry with the Divine Word , but which showed that every one who strove to search the Scriptures would find that Freemasonry was

based upon the revealed word of God . He had striven to do so sincerely , and the lower he dipped into the depths thejbrighter the pearls he drew therefrom . Upon every occasion he would do his utmost , with ready hand and open heart , to fulfil the duties that mi ght be imposed upon him . He cordially thanked then for the gracious manner in which they had received the toast .

I'he Chairman then erave " The Health of the

Most Worshipful Grand Master of England , the Marquis of Ripon , K . G . " For the last few years the Grand Alaster had discharged the duties pertaining to his position in the most just and equitable manner . He had to devote a large portion of his time to the servicesof Her Majesty ,

but besides that he had courtesy , good nature , and ability , to induce him to much as he did to the business of the Order . They must all feel deeply indebted to him for the manner in which he had , and he ( Chairman ) hoped , would continue to discharge his duties . Drunk with great enthusiasm .

At this stage of the proceedings , the Ri ght Worshipful the Deputy Provincial Grand Alaster , the Earl of Bective retired , his Lordship having to leave to catch the last train . The toast was drunk amid vociferous cheering ; and his Lordshit ) , having briefly responded , vacated the chair .

He was accompanied b y Lord A-Iuncaster , M . P . ; Prov . G . S . W . Bro . G . C . Bentinck , P . AL , and Bro . Bentinck , jun . On leaving the hall , the distinguished party were greeted with several rounds of cheers , on the subsidence of which the

chair was taken b y the D . P . G . M ., Bro . Whitwell , M . P ., who proposed "The Army , Navy , and Volunteers " He coupled the toast with the name of Bro . Major Spencer and Captain Mott ; both of whom responded in gallant terms .

The Chairman proposed the " Deputy Grand Master of England , " the Earl of Carnarvon , complimenting his Lordshi p upon the efficient discharge of the duties of that ollice ; and " The Provincial Grand Officers , Present and Past , "

coupled with the health of Brother Busher , who responded . Bro . Lemon proposed the health of Deputy Provincial Grand Master , Bro . Whitwell , who responded .

The Deputy Provincial Grand Alaster , Bro . Whitwell , here left , amid much cheering , to catch the tram ; and Bro . AI'Kelvie was called upon to fill his place . Bro . W . B . Clarke proposed the health of Bro . Lord Muncaster , ALP ., W . M . uy , whose

unavoidable absence he regretted . With the toast he had pleasure in coupling the name of Bro . M'Kelvie , whom his Loidship had elected his Deputy . Bro . M'Kelvie had devoted a number ol years , not only to the study , but to the practice ol the great principles of Fieemasonry . It was

as unnecessary lor him ( Bto . Clark ) to dilate upon Bro . M'Kelvie ' s Alasonic capabilities as it was for him to speak of the many olher good qualities which he was known to possess . His zeal and untiring assiduity in Freemasonry were proverbial throughout the entire province . The Chairman ( Bro . AI'Kelvie ) briefly

acknowledged the t ., ast . Me could assure the brethren that nothing would have given Bro . Lord Aluucaster greater pleasure than to have remained to the last , had time permitted . I le ( Bro . M'Kelvie ) felt proud of the position which Lodge 119 occupied . In electing Bro . Loid Muncaster W . M . for the present year , the members had not only done honour to his

Provincial Grand Lodge Of Cumberland And Westmor Land.

Lordship and to themselves , but they had conferred lustre upon the entire body of Freemasons throughout the province . 119 was the oldest lodge in the province . It had seen days of adversity ; but for some time past it had flourished in an extraordinary degree , and he hoped

that it would long continue to do so . Bro . Gibson proposed "The Visiting Brethren , " to which Bro . Labarte responded . Bro . Wicks proposed "The Past Alasters of 119 , " coupled with the names of those present and absent , to which Bros . Kenworthy and Henry

responded . The Charman proposed the health of Bro . Busher . No better Alason ever belonged to the Craft . Not only had Bro , Busher proved himself a good Alason in the Province , but the Grand Master of England had heard of his work , and

had honoured him with office in the Grand Lodge , an honour to which many mi ght aspire , but which very few ever attained . They were all sorry , in one sense , that he had resigned the office of Provincial Grand Secretary . But it was not ri ght to expect too much from one man . Hc , ( Bro .

M'Kelvie ) knew that Bro . Busher had frequently attended to the duties of the Provincial Grand Lodge at great personal inconvenience , and even on the present occasion he had come to Whitehaven the previous night , in order to perfect the arrangements necessary for that meeting , although he was not in the best of health .

Bro . Busher , who was warmly received , in acknowleding the compliment , said that as long as he could give either counsel , advice , votes , or do a bit of work , they might rely upon it that he should be only too happy to assist them . The Chairman proposed the Worshi pful Master

and Past Alasters of Lodge 872 , to which Bro . Robertson briefly responded . Bro . Gibson , in proposing " The Alasonic Charities , " urged that as Lodge 119 had already done so much for the Boys' School , it ought now to turn its attention more particularly to the Girls ' School .

Bro . Busher proposed the Senior and Junior Wardens of Lodge 119 , to which Bros . Atter and Alsop responded . Bro . Captain Alott proposed " Lodge 119 , "

coupled with the name of Brother Gibson , who , in responding , remarked that it was the first time in his experience that they had held a Provincial Lodge without Bro . Quinn ( the oldest Freemason in the Province ) being present .

Bro . Alsop proposed The Officers of Lod ge 119 under the rank of J . W ., coupled with the name of Bro . Edward Tyson . Bro . Tyson , in reply , alluded to the fact that several brethren had been unable to find accommodation at dinner , a circumstance which they

must all regret . It was , however , quite unavoidable . Tbey had not expected more than 170 or 180 , and they had laid covers for 200 ; bu t instead of 200 there had been 230 , and 30 of them had been obliged to go away unable to get accommodated .
