Address And Testimonial To Lord Dunboyne, P.G.M., North Munster.

ADDRESS AND TESTIMONIAL TO LORD DUNBOYNE , P . G . M ., NORTH MUNSTER .

On Thursday , thc 28 th ult ., a Provincial Grand Lodge was held in the Masonic Hall , for the purpose of presenting Lord Dunboyne , R . W . Provincial Grand Master of the Masonic Order in North Munster , with an address and testimonial , as an expression of the regard and

esteem in which he is held by the Order in North Munster . The attendance was extremely large , and embraced the following : — The Right Hon . Lord Dunboyne , P . G . M . ; James Spaight , D . P . G . M . ; William Barrington , P . G . Secretary ; J . Hill ( Ennis ) , S . W . ; G . Dartnell , J . W . ; James O'Grady , S . D . ; G . O'Neill , J . D . ; W . H . McQuaide , II . Stirling ,

A . Rownand , G . H . Smith , 201 ; Robert Wellington , S . W . 201 ; F . N . Young , W . M . 201 ; A . Wallace , 73 ; John Hill , D . Macdonald , W . M . Oo ; Jonas Studde ' rt , Wm . Daxon , M . D ., P . M . Oo ; John Lopdell , J . W . Oo ; John Lcames , Robert Wheeler , J . H . Symes , Gordon O'Neill , Thomas Bunting , John McKern , John Russell , 13 ; John McAuliffe , 541 ; Richard J . Lee , 73 ; Francis Meredyth ,

S . W . 333 ; William Hosford , 333 ; Thomas E . Carte , P . M . 333 ; John Russell , 13 ; J . Brady , 13 ; R . Gibson , P . M . 73 ; H . S . Sterling , I . G . 73 ; J . K . Browne , 73 ; Rev . James McMahon , 333 ; Archdeacon Hare , 13 ; W . G . Gubbins , W . M . 333 ; Rev . Charles Ward , 2 O 8 ; James O'Grady , 13 ; and S . Pounder . The lodge having been opened in due form , and with

the usual Masonic observances , Bro . Spaight , D . P . G . M ., said before he would read the address which they had met to present to their esteemed Provincial Grand Master he would mention that it was the universal wish of the lodges of the district that a banquet should be given in order to give the greatest possible honour and eclat to the ceremony . They were aware tbat he

consulted their feelings on the subject , and , as far as in his power , had ascertained the wishes of thc whole province on the matter in reference to the carrying out of the arrangements . He had , of course , also consulted his lordship ' s feelings on the matter , and had apprised him of the wishes of the Craft . It had been arranged that a small

deputation should wait upon his lordship and present the testimonial , but that proposition was universally received with feelings of disappointment and regret . If wc might so express it , the Masonic heart of the entire province was deeply stirred in the matter , and they felt that the fact of two or three going quietly by train to be the gentle actors in a scene in which they all desired to participate would

not be a proper expression of Masonic feeling . ( Hear , hear , and applause . ) A different conclusion was arrived at to which his lordship finally consented , and they were now all present to participate in this happy and interesting ceremony . ( Hear , hear . ) He congratulated his lordship upon having evoked such a feeling of regard and esteem amongst the members of the Craft throughout North Munster , and in conclusion , he suggested to read the address with which they desired to present

him" Right Worshipful Sir and Brother , —We , the members of the Masonic Order of the Province of North Munster , desire to approach you with the strongest feelings of fraternal affection and respect for your distinguished position as a Mason , and your invariable kindness and courtesy as a Brother . Knowing , as we do , that the honourable status now held by the Province of North Munster is mainly

owing to thc able administration and watchful care of its Masonic interests by your Lordship , we desire to leave some imperishable record of our high esteem for your Lordship ' s character as an able administrator , and a faithful friend . We therefore beg your Lordship ' s acceptance

of this salver with our united and fervent prayer that you may long enjoy the honours and distinctions in our Order which you have justly won , and that we may continue to enjoy the advantages we derive from your Lordship ' s just and courteous government of the Province of North Munster .

"On beialf of the members , James Spaight , Deputy Provincial Grand Master ; William S . Studdert , Lodge 13 ; Marquis Paterson , 60 ; A . MacNab , 73 ; William Edwin Burdge , 135 ; F . N . Young , 201 ; George Pierce , 202 ; George Roe , 311 ; J . B . Young , 333 ; John C . M'Auliffe , 541 . "

Bro . Spaight then said he hoped his lordship would consider the ceremony of presenting the testimonial as gone through , for owing to its immense weight he would experience some difficulty in holding it ( laughter ) . The presentation consisted of a massive salver of solid silver , and the most exquisite workmanship . The following inscription was engraven beautifully on the centre of

the plate and surmounted by the Crown : — " Presented to their valued and beloved Provincial Grand Master , the Right Hon . Lord Dunboyne , Junior Warden of thc Grand Lodge of Ireland , by the officers and brethren of the Masonic Province of North Munster , as a mark of their respect and fraternal love and some small acknowledgment of their sense of his invaluable services to their Crafl

during the period of his office as Provincial Grand Master of North Munster . —December , 1874 . " Around the verge of the salver were a number of appropriate Masonic devices , which were also magnificently engraved . Lord Dunboyne , on rising to reply to the address , received a perfect ovation . lie said : — You are all perfectly well aware that I am not gifted

with that eloquent tongue for which our Deputy Provincial Grand Master is so celebrated . ( Laughter . ) Certainly , on such an occasion as this , it is impossible for me—as it would be impossible for the most gifted speaker—to express myself as strongly as I feel . I can only say that I feel most grateful to the brethren of the province for their kindness , in the first place , in congratulating mc on my

restoration to health . ( Hear , hear . ) I am proud of that magnificent testimonial . It will be , I trust , an heirloom in my family for centuries to come ; and , while I live , it will always be the means of prompting me more and more to do my duty as a brother Mason . ( Applause . ) Latterly I was not able to come amongst you as frequently as I could have wished ; but , thank God , my health is

better now —( hear , hear , and applause)—and I assure you that I shall always do everything in my power to promote Masonry in general , and more especially in North Munster . ( Applause . ) The brethren have ever been kind to mc—beyond my expectations or deserts —( no , no)—esjiecially in this their latest mark of esteem . I wish every one of you brethren , health , prosperity , and long life in

this world , and , in thc next , may you be received into the Grand Lodge above . ( Hear , hear . ) It is not the intrinsic value of thc gift I prize most , but it is the kind feeling of the brethren which I pre-eminently esteem ; and I regret I cannot command language sufficient to thank you . ( Loud Applause . ) Bro . Spaight then intimated that thc ceremony would

be concluded in another apartment of the building ; ami tbe lodge having- been closed , the brethren repaired to the supper room , where a sumptuous luncheon was provided . Bro . Spaight occupied the chair , and Lord Dunboyne sat on his right hand . Bro . Spaight proposed "Thc Health of thc Past

Grand Master" in eloquent terms , and Lord Dunboyne responded . Bro . Gubbins , W . M . 333 , proposed thc toast of the committee who had charge of the arrangements . Bro . Spaight , as chairman of the committee , responded , and , after some appropriate remarks by Bro . Jonas Studdert , thc company separated .

Masonic Reception To The Second Mate Of The Cospatrick At Glasgow.

MASONIC RECEPTION TO THE SECOND MATE OF THE COSPATRICK AT GLASGOW .

A special meeting of the Lodge Clyde , No . 408 , was held within the hall , 170 , Buchanan-street , on 28 th ult . The occasion was an unusually interesting one , being for the purpose of giving a fraternal reception to Bro . Henry

M'Donald , late second mate of the New Zealand emigrant ship Cospatrick , which , as will be but too well remembered , was burnt in the South Atlantic Ocean , on November 18 th last , with a loss of 474 lives , Bro . M'Donald being one of the three sole survivors of the almost unparalleled catastrophe . Although the summons to the meeting was of the briefest , many not knowing of it until a couple of hours ,

beforehand , about sixty brethren , including visitors from sister lodges , came forward in response to it . The R . W . M ., Bro . Wm . Harper , presided , supported by Past Masters Duncan Downie and J . Buchanan , John M'Innes , S . W . ; Wm . Bilsland , J . W . ; James Stewait , Treasurer ; and D . S . Mitchell , Secretary . Amongst the visiting brethren were Bros . John Munro , R . W . M . 360 ; A . R . Wilson ,

Chaplain 27 ; Jas . Duthie , and others . The lodge having been opened , the Chairman said he presumed they were all aware of thc object of that meeting , which was to give a hearty welcome to their Bro . Henry M'Donald , second mate of the Cospatrick , and who , as they knew , survived the loss of that vessel after endmnig almost unheard of perils . They would , perhaps , be able to do so better were

they a little more at ease , and therefore the J . W . had his orders to call the lodge to refreshment . Before this was done , however , he had to ask Bro . M'Donald to come up to the dais and receive the right hand of fellowship . Bro . M'Donald , who was seated in the body of the hall , did so accordingly , amid loud and continued applause ; and having shaken hands with those on the dais , took his seat

by instruction of the chairman at the latter ' s left hand . The Stewards having done their duty , the chairman " proposed in succession the toasts of " The Queen and the Craft , " " The Three Grand Lodges , " " The P . G . L . of Glasgow , " and " The Magistrates of Glasgow , " coupled with the name of the Lord Provost , Bro . Bain . He then in a few words proposed the toast of the occasion , "The

Health of Bro . Henry M'Donald . " They had all to sympathise with him in the severe trouble he had come through , and out of which , by the mercy of the Great Architect of the Universe , he had been rescued . They desired for him in the future long life and prosperity , and that he and his family might never again know the hardships they had lately experienced . The toast was drunk with enthusiasm ,

and all the honours . Bro . M'Donald , in acknowledging the toast , said he was very happy at thc way in which they had received him ; but he had such a whole lot to say that he could ' nt say it all . But if there was any particular point that they would like him to speak about , he would do so . They had seen it all in the papers from beginning to end . No one responding to this invitation , Bro .

M'Donald shortly rehearsed thc main points of the catastrophe , in so far as he was concerned , or it came under his observation , and which was identical with the narrative he gave of it on arriving in England , and which was perused hy eveiy newspaper reader in thc country . He expressed himself as exceedingly gratified with thc reception he experienced from thc brethren of the Craft at St . Helena , and

handed to the chairman a letter he had received from them , which the chairman read . It was as follows : — " St . Helena , 12 th December , 1874 . —To Mr . Henry M'Donald , M . M ., Clyde Lodge , No . 408 , Scotland . —Dear Brother , — Having discovered that you were one of the Craft , and being made acquainted with thc whole of thc circumstances connected with your present unfortunate position , we , with

true feelings of brotherly love , and remembering the day and hour we were received into Masonry , at once brought your case before the brethren of this island by opening a subscription on your behalf . We have now thc pleasure to hand you the sum of £ JO 5 s . Od ., subscribed by the members of both lodges , namely , St . Helena No . 488 , and Old Rock No . 912 , and others of the fraternity , of which

we ask your acceptance . 1 he brethren , one and all , sympathize with you , and pray that the Great Architect of the Universe , who has preserved and protected you from a fearful death , may be as merciful should you ever be again placed in such trying circumstances , which we sincerely hope may never again be your lot . —We are , dear Bro . M'Donald , yours very fraternally , R . Dowling , P . M . St .

Helena Lodge , 488 , and member of Old Rock Lodge , 912 ; Thomas Storer , Secretary , St . Helena Lodge , 488 ; and J . W ., Old Rock Lodge , 912 . " —On the motion of Bro . Jas . Stewart , seconded by Bro . Downie , P . M ., it was unanimously agreed to that a letter be sent to the St . Helena brethren to acknowledge the great kindness they had shown to a brother of the Clyde Lodge . It was further agreed lo that the names of the leading Office-bearers of

the St . Helena Lodge should be procured , and that they be made honorary members of Lodge Clyde . One or two miscellaneous toasts followed , after which the lodge was recalled to labour , and thereafter closed . We may just add that Bro . M'Donald , who looks in excellent health , was initiated , passed , and raised in Lodge Clyde , on 20 th Sept ., 1872 , and that , happening to be in Glasgow for a day or two , the meeting was arranged for with his " Mother .
