Prov. Grand Lodge Of South Wales

Talbot with regard to the Noble Earl , he said that the pleasure of doing so , however , was enhanced greatly by having an opportunity of witnessing the hearty reception which his dear friend ( Bro . Talbot ) had received that day , from brethreu who had assembled from this , and the neighbouring

province to do him honor . This gathering , delightful though it was , made his mind revert to the days when Bro Talbot and himself were fellow collegians at Christ church , and members of the Churchill Lodge , since that timo tbey had been bound by ties of the closest friendship and brotherly regard , and

he had determined that nothing should prevent him from being present that day , to witness the gathering of the province , who paid fealty to bis distinguished friend . The Very Worshipful brother explained that he was not a sailor , in fact the sight of water of large quantities gave him singular qualms , however

as he resided in Devonshire there was no help for it , but to screw up his courage , which he did manfully , and was fortunate enough to cross the " briny deep , " between Burnham and Cardiff , without experiencing the slightest sea sickness , or being overtaken by a gale or shipwreck , as he bad quite anticipated .

Bro . AIORRIS , Dep . P . G . A 1 . then proposed "The health of the R . W . P . G . A 1 . " which it is needless to say was received with great enthusiasm . Bro . TALBOT made a suitable response , and proposed "The health of the Deputy Provincial Graud Master , Bro . Alorris . " Bro . AIURRAY , District Grand Alaster of China ,

in the course of Ins response , expressed himself highly gratified at the gathering which he had witnessed , and the reception which the " Cambrian Lodge " had given to their esteemed Grand Alaster . "The health of the visiting brethren from the •western division r-f South Wales" was then

proposed , and responded to by Bro . SMITH , Prov . Grand Secy . Then followed , " The visiting brethren from the Province of Alonmouth , " which was responded to by Bro . HOMFRAY , Prov . J . W . "The health of the Prov . Grand Officers , " was responded to by Bro . BELL , Prov . S . W ., and Bro .

BROCK , Prov . J . W ., then followed , "The Alasonic Charities , " responded to by Bro . BINCKES , in a speech of considerable length , characterised by the usual fervour of his well-known eloquence . "The health of the Cambrian Lodge " was next proposed by Bro . Talbot ; and Bro . ROWLAND responded in suitable terms .

A number of other speeches followed , and the meeting , which was of a most satisfactory character , terminated at an early hour . The speeches were interspersed with vocal and instrumental music , which was ably conducted by Bro . Aliddletou , Prov . G . Organist .

Several reviews and other interesting articles stand over till next week . —ED . F . ROYAL COMPLIMENT TO Bito . J . L . TOOLE A gratifying circumstance , showing the high respect in which the theatrical profession is held by Royalty , took place in connection with the recent Dramatic

College Fete . After the dramatic entertainment had been given in the l . irge theatre of the Crystal Palace , a special einninunicatioii was sent to Air . " j . L .

Toole was deeply impressed with his gracious reception , the applause he elicited , and the high appreciation of his profession thus evinced by the Royal party .
