leading part in all that promotes thc good of thc Charities . I am sure , sir , if you will allow mc only to repeat the words of the Grand Master , I would say how much we , the Grand Officers , appreciate the great kindness and the great honour you have done us in asking us here this evening . You have indeed , as you have said , held out to us the tight hand of friendship and of hospitality . In conclusion , therefore , I beg , in the name of the Grand Officers , to thank you most
sincerely for the honour 3-011 have done us this evening . The EARL OK LATHOM , Deputy Grandmaster , then proposed in graceful terms the toast of " The Foreign Grand Lodges , " saying that as thc Craft was one which aimed at promoting peace and goodwill among mankind , the more the brethren from foreign lodges were seen thc more rejoiced the tEnglish Masons would be . The members of the Craft there assembled would bc especially rejoiced to
welcome thc august relative of Her Royal Hi g hness thc Princess of Wales ( cheers)—Prince John of Glucksburg ( cheers )—who was not only one of the Order , but had that day been raised , by the Grand Master ' s dispensation , to bc one of themselves , for thc Prince was now a Past Grand Warden of England as well as thc Pro Grand Master of Denmark . ( Cheers . ) AH would give the Prince a hearty welcome , and would 1 drink warmly to thc health of the
foreign lodges of thc world . PRINCE J OHN OF GLUCKSDUKG , who was received most warmly , responded in thc following terms : My Lord Mayor , Most Worshipful Grand Mastcr , and brethren , 1 thank you most warmly in my own name , as well as tn | that of the niembers of foreign Iodges , | for the toast which has just been given , and for the cordial manner in which you have been so good as to welcome it . It will be . I am sure , asourcc of thegreatest
satisfaction to them to hear that this toast has been so kindly received , and 1 feel proud in being called upon to respond on behalf of so important and numerous a body . ( Cheers . ) I must take advantage of this opportunity to thank my illustrious ] relative , the Most Worshipful Grand Mastcr , for the compliment which he has paid mc by appointing me a Past Senior Grand Warden of England . I can assure you I highly appreciate thc honour , and 1 know
it will be equally valued by thc brethren abroad , and especially by those residing in my own country of Denmark and in the Scandinavian kingdom , as tending to draw still closer than heretofore the intimate relations which already exist between the Masonic bodies of . those countries and of England . ( Cheers . ) In conclusion , my Lord Mayor and brethren , allow roe to state the great pleasure wKkfv it has afforded me to be presenton this interesting occasion , and to
bejablctomeet so many of my English brethren holding such high positions in the Craft . ( Cheers . ) I once more return you my hearty acknowledgments for your kind reception , and beg you to believe I shall never forget it . ( Loud cheers . ) The PRINCE OF WALES then said , —Brethren , the last toast Which is to bc given here this evening has been kindly intrusted to my jcare . Though it is the last it is by no means the Ieast , * and it is one which 1 know you , brethren
and members of thc Grand Lodge , will all drink most cordially and most heartily wilh me— "The Health of thc Lord Mayor . " ( Cheers . ) Thc Lord Mayor will , I am sure , allow to me say that I feel convinced that in the last weeks that remain of his tenure of office it has given him pleasure to receive the Grand Lodge this evening . Therefore , on their part and on my own , I beg again to thank him for the compliment he has paid us , and assure him how much wc
appreciate having been here in thc Mansion House , more especially as I have the pleasure antl privilege on many occasions of partaking of the well-known hospitality of the Lord Mayor ; antl lie will , I know , allow me to say that I accept that hospitality always with the greatest pleasure , not only for thc compliment he has always paid me , and his predecessors have paid me , individually and as a citizen of this great City . ( Cheers . ) I now , brethren , call upon you
most cordially to drink with me to the health of thc Lord Mayor . ( Cheers . ) The RIGHT HON . TIIK LORD MAYOR , who was received with loud antl long-continued cheering , said : May it please your Koyal Highness , Most Worshipful Grand Mastcr , nnd brethren , thc great and distinguished honour which has been conferred upon mc to-night I never can forget—( cheers)—because it is not only an honour conferred upon
me , but it is also an honour conferred upon thc City of London . ( Cheers . ) Your Royal Highness has been pleased , in proposing my health , to allude to one or two circumstances which to me have been great memorials . In the year 1 SG 3 I was called upon by my fellow-citizens to preside over a Committee which received your Royal Highness and thc Princess —( cheers)—and later on , in St . Paul's Cathedral on thc great day of thanksgiving —( " hear , hear , " and
cheers)—I had the honour , in conjunction with my co-Sheriff , Sir John Bennett , of receiving your Royal Highnesses and Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen ; and now , as Lord Mayor of London , I am permitted the proud and distinguished honour of receiving your Royal Highness as Grand Mastcr in this ancient hall . ( Cheers . ) I need not say , therefore , what my feelings arc on this occasion . 1 dare not express them , but I must at least say that it will ever be to me and my family a proud remembrance that ,
as Lord Mayor of this great City , I have been permitted to entertain His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales , and this is thc first time that name has been used in this hall this evening , but also the Most Worshipful Grand Mastcr of our Craft .
