have the wish of her heart granted , and carry away with her a most pleasant and happy recollection of their reception at the first ladies' night of the Duke of Connaught Lodge . In reply for the ladies , Bro . Leo Taylor said , he was proud to claim the name of brother . He did not know why renerally a young man was chosen to reply to this toast . On
behalf of the ladies , he must first congratulate the W . M . on the splendid start they had made . He did not know if our ancient brethren entertained their ladies in a similar manner , but at any rate they meant to thoroughly enjoy it . With all the beauty that was present it must be a very anxious moment to know whom they should choose as their partners
for the dance . Masons were renowned for then' courtesy , so as a lady he said they did not expect to see any " wallflowers , ' but to provide them with partners for all the dances . On behalf of the ladies he thanked them , and hoped to have many such evenings . During the evening each lady was presented with a very
handsome silver scent spray . The dancing which commenced at eight o ' clock , was kept up until close on midnight . The W . M . and the joint Secretaries , Bros . G . J . and H . G . Buzzard ( father and son ) , are to be heartily congratulated on a most successful evening .
