sire , being a most estimable Mason , and one doing his best to maintain the prestige of the Rose Lodge . In reply , Bro . DERHAM thanked the brethren most heartily for such a kind reception of the toast so ably put by his dear old friend , Bro . Loader , in almost too

llattering a manner . Certainly he had taken a deep interest in the Rose Lodge of Instruction , and had received many kindnesses lrom the brethren , but of one —their esteemed Bro . D .

the house at night time , but the greatest sympathy was expressed toward him by the brethren on all sides , with the earnest desire that he would be in his accustomed position of Preceptor of such a lodge . Throug h the great kindness of Iiro . Rose , the President stated he had been enabled to carry out his duties with efficiency , ; md he trusted before leaving the chair to do credit to himself and entire satisfaction of the biethren .

The toast of " Success to the Rose Lodge of Instruc tion , " was next presented by Bro .

Martin , Treas . ; Grummant , Sec ; and Stone , Asst , Sec , to respond .
