W ., and several other Brethren / urged that there were four Lod ge * in different towns in Shropshire , and only three in Wales ; that all in Shropshire were in full working , whilst no returns had been received since 1855 from
Carnarvon ; that the proportion of dues paid was as five to three in favour Of Shropshire over North Wales ; that it was a long distance for the Shropshire Brethren to travel from Shrewsbury to Bangor ; and that though 1 the Shropshire ^ Brethren had gone in large numbers to the three meetings held in Wales , no representatives had . ever been sent by the Lodges there to the meetings in Shrop- shire ; though sometimes two , or perhaps three Brethren , came to Grand Lodge of their own good will to the Craft ; and that a Prov . Grand Lodge had never yet been held at Ludlow .
The R . W . Prov . G . Master said , he could not forget how well the Lodge had been received at Bangor , and he should like very much to go there , but taking all the circumstances into consideration , he would defer his decision for the present . At a subsequent period of the evening , however , the right hon . bart . decided in favour of Ludlow , expressing a hope that as that place was in the Marches , it would prove alike satisfactory to the Brethren of Shropshire and North 'Wales .
In the evening a very numerous party reassembled at a very elegant banquet , under the presidency of the R . W . Prov . G . M . supported by his Officers , visitors , and other Brethren , to the number of seventy or more , On the removal of the cloth the healths of the Queen and of the M . W . G . M . the Earl , of . Zetland were drunk with all the honours .
The Prov . G . M . said the next toast he had to propose was the health of the D . G . M . the Right Hon . Lord Panmure . They were so far from the metrppolis , that he was afraid there , were no G . Officers present to respond to the toast , He begged pardon , he was informed that Bro . Warren , a P . G . Steward , was in the room ^ and he would therefore couple his name with it .
Bro * H . G . Warren assured the Brethren that he was taken altogether by surprise in having his name brought forward in connection with tlje toast , the office of G .. Steward conferring no precedence on a Brother beyond the year in which it was held ; He had the greater difficulty in returning thanks for the G , ' Officers ^
