The Brethren afterwards sat down to a splendid banquet , served in a style truly excellent by Bro . Pine , the respected landlord of the Star . In the course of the evening the health of the W .

Cooke , the immediate Past Master , was then drunk amidst enthusiastic cheering . Brother Cooke , in responding to the compliment , expressed the satisfaction he felt at the thought that the Lodge had been so prosperous under his year of office .
