The Brett Testimonial Dinner.

have recommended him to your esteem ; while his genial qualities will entitle him to the love of his fellow-men . To Dr . Woodman I have therefore a word to say , but for all the members of the committee I have an equal word of commendation . I never worked with a committee that had

such a determination to come to a successful issue as the committee of the Brett Testimonial . It is only due to them to mention the fact , because however arduous the duties of the Secretary may have been , without the committee who were intrusted with the original design , we should not

have been able to carry it to a successful conclusion . We have present one member in thc person of our Bro . John Boyd , who is an estimable man and a good Mason ; and 1 believe that when we say he is a good Mason and a good man , we have found the chief qualities which arc allotted to

humanity on this side of the grave . I snail not detain you , therefore , by expatiating on his personal services to this movement in particular or to Freemasonry in general , but I am sure you will be p leased when I couple his name with this toast , as well as that of thc absent Bro . Dr . Woodman . I

give you " The Health of our Brother John Boyd , " and trust you will join with me in drinking that and " The Health of the Committee of the Brett Testimonial . " ( Cheers . ) Bro . BOYD : Bro . Carpenter and brethren , it is first time that I have had the pleasure and honour

of facing our worthy and distinguished chairman at any Masonic meeting , and 1 certainly to some extent do regret it this evening , because I am labouring , —many of my brethren around this table knowunder a very severe affliction of hoarseness , and so much so that I cannot express to him the plearurc

I have felt at the observations made this evening . I came from a large party at Freemasons' Tavern , on purpose lo attend this testimonial banquet to Bro . Brett , a man for whom I would go not from the Freemasons' Tavern to Cannon-street

only to do honour to , but from one end of England or Europe to another . I speak only for myself , but I believe that every one at this table , round this festive ooard assembled here this evening , would do thc same ( hear ) . There are few of us present that are notindebtpd to our Bro . Brett

for a great portion of our knowledge in Freemasonry , and more particularly that beautiful ceremony of the Roval Arch ( hear , hear ) . In Royal

Arch Masonry , I will say it fearlessly , our Bro . Brett stands A I . He has no one to approach him , but he is preparing others to supply his place when he leaves . Others must follow him ; he may teach them , and from his knowledge we may gain a very great amount of information , and 1 hope it will be

propagated through thc various chapters which he has the honour of belonging lo , and which have the honour of his membership . As regards the Committee , with respect to this testimonial , I must say I have been a very poor working member . I wish I could have done a very great deal more ,

but I have done what I could , and if wc all did what wc could wc have , to a certain extent , the pleasure of knowing within ourselves that we have done all that was possible to do honour to a very worthy antl distinguished Mason . For thc honour you have done me in drinking the health of the Chairman of the Committee and the other

members , I thank you . If other members of the Committee will kindly follow up what 1 have fallen short of , I should feel very much obliged to them , because 1 know I am not able to do so . I should be very glad , as our Bro . Tanner has suggested , lo see this an annual testimonial . In thc name of the

Committee , I thank you ( cheers ) . The company then separated . Thc following were the Stewards : —Bros . Hon . R . Curzon , Major Dickson , M . P ., W . A . Tharp , W . F . Smith , F . Kent , J . R . Foulger , F . Walters ,
