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 .

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 .
