Royal Masonic Institution For Boys.
Institution to return our warmest and most sincere thanks to those good brethren who have come forward to undertake the arduous duty of Stewards , for the services they have rendered , whicli have contributed to so noble a result as I
have now the honour to announce . The Chairman * . —I think Bro . Binckes has sung very sweetly , and to a good round tune , but I believe it would be the wish of the company that
we should shortly adjourn to the concert prepared for us in the annexed hall . I therefore propose that we should have no more music here , and exercising that authority which you were good
enough to place in me , I am going to put some of these toasts together . The next toast I shal ' have the honour to offer to ' your notice is " The
Health of the Vice-President , Trustees , Committees , and Auditors . " With that I will couple the name of the President of the Board of
Stewards , the Rev . C . J . Martyn . I will now call upon Bro . Martyn to respond to those toasts . and I will give you as a final toast immediately
afterwards "lhe Health of the Royal Masonic Institution i ' or Girls , " coupled with the toast of "The Ladies . "
Bro . the Rev . C . J . Martyn , P . G . Chaplain : — My Lord and Brethren , if your Lordship felt , as you said just now , in a state of great difficulty in having to propose so many different toasts to our
notice , I am quite sure that you will believe that I rise under feelings of great diffidence when I remember how much I have to return thanks to you for—the Vice-President , Trustees ,
Committees , and Auditors , and last , and I suppose I might say not the least , my most noble self . I beg to thank you most sincerely for the kind way in which you have received this toast , ancl
for myself , I may say it has been a great pleasure to me to act with all those brethren who have so kindly supported me as Stewards . I may say my part has been a very small one ; living as I do a
long way oft " , I have not been able to attend much . My brethren have taken all the trouble off" me . To Bro . Joshua Nunn all your thanks are due . If our exertions have met with your
approval we tire satisfied , ancl we hope and trust you have all enjoyed a pleasant evening . " The other Masonic Charities , the Royal Masonic Institution for Girls , the Royal
Masonic Benevolent Institution , " and "The Ladies , " combined were the last toast , ancl Bro . Binckes , in the absence of Bro . Patten and Bro . Farnfield , through illness , responded .
The company then adjourned to the Temple , where a deli ghtful concert was given , and did not separate till a late hour . The musical arrangements of the evening , which were perfect ,
were under the direction of Bro . F ' rank Elmore , who sang several beautiful songs himself . He was also assisted by Mdlle . Liebhart , Miss Susannah Cole , Miss Julia Elton , Miss Marion

manager of the Freemasons' Tavern Company , was all that could be desired , and thc Stewards left no stone unturned to make everybody comfortable . To come to the last item , Mr .
