Provincial,

dinner was most excellent , and done ample justice to by the 103 who sat down to partake of it . The usual loyal , & c . toasts having been drunk , and appropriate glees , & c . sung after each , the health of the Prov . Grand Master was proposed by the R . W . the D . Prov . G . M . Bro . Ward , in a speech which , though highly complimentary , every one'felt could have borne greater laudations , and therefore it was , perhaps , that the Masonic honours were so heartily , so Masonically given at its conclusion . The glee which followed was "The Red Cross Knight , " and most happily was it rendered .

The Prov . G . M . replied in his usual happy and easy manner , giving , in conclusion , 'The Visitors , " to which Captain Bowyer , the Prov . G . M . of Oxfordshire , replied in neat and appropriate terms . The toast of the D . Prov . G ' . M ., and the other Prov . G . Officers , was replied to by Bro . Dr . Burton , Prov . P . S . G . W ., in that felicitous and eloquent manner for which he is greatly celebrated among his Masonic Brethren . The health of " The W . M . of Noah ' s Ark Lodge " ( the Lodge visited ) , Bro . W . Howells . and that of the W . M . of the Dartmouth Lodge , which had been

consecrated that day , were given by the Prov . G . M ., and responded to by Bro . Howells and Leavons . The reply of Bro . Howells was considered a masterpiece of eloquence by the Brethren present , who were rather surprised at his so successfully " coming out . " The health of the Chaplain was duly acknowledged by Bro . Gwynne ; and that of the R . W . Bro- Vernon , Prov . G . M . of Worcestershire , replied to by the Rev . Bro . A . G . Davies ( M . A . ) , P . M ., No . 730 , W . M . No . 819 , and Piov . Cr _ Oha . r > . of Worcestershire .

" The Ladies , " and more especially "Mrs . Vernon , " having been proposed in a humourous speech by Bro . Ward , and as gracefully acknowledged by the R . W . the Prov . G . M ., the last toast was given , and the Brethren separated , most highly delighted ( and instructed likewise ) by the day ' s proceedings . The glee singing was performed by Bros . Glydon , Pursall , Pendleton , and Baker , and elicited loud and prolonged applause ; as also the singing of the song called "Noah ' s Ark Lodge " * ( written by a Rev . Brother member of that Lodge ) , which was given by Bro . Ingram .
