" One was at Folkestone , another i * i Margate , and some , he was sorry to say , had gone ovir to thc majority . They hid " ^ . and still had , some excellent Past Masters , and he wou'd now couple the toast lv | lh the name of Bro . Taj lor .

} ixo . Taylor , in returning thanks , said their W . M . had already lo ' . d them of the 'Writs of the Past Masters and of the falling off in their attendance and their nu nbers .
