Upon the removal of the cloth , grace was said , after which the Worshipful Master rose to
propose the first toast , saying that in all such regulated societies " The Queen' was the first toast of the evening , therefore he would ask them to drink to that estimablelady whose virtues have rendered her worthy the esteem and admiration of all elasseSj more particularly Freemasons . The toast was received with the usual loyal demonstrations . The Worshipful Master followed with " The Most Worshipful Grand Master the Earl of Zetland , " to whom he paid a well merited eulogiumwhich was received with the customary honours ; a similar honour
, having been paid to Lord Panmure , the Deputy Grand Master , Bro . Watson then rose and said , rin proposing the next toast he thought they would be very undutiful children if they forgot the mother Lodge , under whose authority this Lodge of Instruction was holden . The prosperity of No . 25 had ahvays been to him a source of delight , he might almost call it his mother Lodge , as he was received in the Burns when a mere infant in Masonry . That the Robert Burns was of
in a flourishing condition their numbers would show , ^ being upwards one hundred strong , fourteen Brethren having been initiated last year and nearly twenty this year . He would propose " Continued prosperity to the Robert Burns Lodge , " coupling with it the name of Bro . Charles Bennett , their excellent Master , about whom he ( Bro . Watson ) scarcely knew what to say , his amiable qualities having been fully developed to the Brethren during the time he had been amongst them ; his duties as a subordihate officer had been carried out with that zeal and efficiency which
rendered his elevation to the mastership of the Lodge a matter of deep interest , and his conduct in that chair had realized their fullest expectations ; his urbanity and perfect mode of performing the arduous ceremonies entitled him to the respect and thanks of the Brethren . The toast being received with the usual honours , the Worshipful Master briefly but feelingly returned thanks , after which he retired , Bro . Watson becoming his locum tenens , who then proposed " The Visitors , " to which Bros . Thomas and States replied . The toast of the evening then followed
viz :- — "Success to the Robert Burns Lodge of Instrnotion , " prefaced by some pertinent remarks upon the value of such Lodges , more particularly No . 25 , which probably had turned out more perfect Masons than any other . Bros . T . A . Adams and Le Gassick acknowledged the compliment . Bro . Watson , in proposing the last toast said , that he felt a peculiar pleasure in giving it , it was " The health of Bro . James Wilder Adams and his lady . " Bro . Adams acknowledged the toast . The
Brethren soon after separated , having spent a very happy evening , considerably enhanced by some good singing from Bros . G . Taylor , Woode Banks , Nicholls , Dawes , and Piatt .
