Reports Of Masonic Meetings.

The toast of "The Visiting Brethren" was given by Bro . S . Chesters-Thompson , J . P ., S . W ., in an eloquent speech . Welcoming with loving hearts and open hands all true brethren who visited them , he asked them to come to the Ardwick Lodge again and again , and not be satisfied with one visit , and the more frequently they came the more welcome they would be . For his own part he was sorry

that he had not joined the Order earlier in life . He was only a young Mason , and considered that if he had been one of them many years ago he would not have had to regret the want of years ot happiness which might have been added to his life . The visiting brethren replied in fraternal terms . The remaining toasts , " That of the Installing Master , "

& c , were given and received in a hearty manner . The musical brethren , Bros . Turner , P . M . ion ; Dunville , P . M . 2156 , P . G . S . ; Hoyland , P . M . 10 S 3 ; and C Howard contributed materially to the enjoyment of the evening , and Bro . Dottie , P . M . 993 , rendered valuable assistance by giving some most laughable recitations . The brethren separated at a comparatively early hour .
