tumty of doing , so , as it would always command his attention . AVith respect to the rising officers , he had no desire to cast reflections upon them , as they had done their work well , and he mentioned the name of Brother Meggy as one of their members who had discharged duties in a perfect manner . As to charity , it was incumbent upon them , as Masons , to aid in the good work , and on that principle he had accepted the office of Steward at the Festival on behalf of the Old Men's Asylum . As

to the Girls' School , they had , under the direction of Bro . Crew , for many years seen a large assembly of brethren to support that Charity , and he was glad to find that the rising generati on would be well educated . As to the Boys' School , he found that Bro . Binckes had gone forward most energetically to elicit the feelings and support of Masons , and he trusted that that institution would be elevated to the same position as the Girls '

School , and that both those Charities would flourish . He next came to the Aged Freemasons and their AVidows , and he must say that institution required their support . The institutions for the children were looked upon not only with a fraternal but a paternal regard ; but at the same time they ought not to forget the aged . There were many there sitting round that table in health and prosperity , but they did not know how soon they

might become recipients of that Charity , and therefore it would be wise on their part to succour , assist , and protect that institution , and if ever the time should come when they should require its support , they would feel that they had done their duty , and they would have no fear of being turned away with the cold shoulder . He hoped , therefore , that the brethren would support him in representing the Fizroy Lodge as a

Steward for this Charity , as they had supported the AV . M . on the occasion of the Festival of the Girls' School . He was not able to attend himself in consequence of a domestic calamity in his family , but from what he had heard he believed that the brethren of the Fitzroy Lodge had met with an excellent reception . He hoped , therefore , that as this was a good cause , that the brethren would rally round him upon that occasionand that they would

, then put down their names and promise him their support . In conclusion he thanked them for the manner iu which the toast had been received , and begged to diink all their healths in return . " The Health of the Officers of the Lodge , " was then given and responded to , and the proceedings were brought to a close .

A grant of 200 guineas was made , to be divided equally between the four great Masonic Charities , viz ., the Royal Masonic Boys' School , the Girls' School , the Royal Benevolent Institution for Aged Freemasons , and the Institution for Masons' AVidows , thus making the Provincial Grand Master a vice-president of each . It was

also determined to vote £ 30 , being part of interest on accumulated funds , to one of these Charities annually , so as to secure the election of a . candidate from the province every year . Votes of five and three guineas were also made to an aged Mason and a Mason's widow . The A \ . M . of 979 , in a practical speech , drew attention to the great evils arising out of the " travelling beggar" systemand gave instancesproducing a list from one

, , lodge where £ 11 had been given in eleven months ; he also warned them against a tall negro , named Forrest , who had brought no small discredit on the Crewe Masons b y his base conduct . The speaker having submitted suggestions for reform , the Prov . G . M . remarked that he entirely agreed with the importance of the question and the value of the suggestions ; but this meeting being specialthey could not then act on them

, . He however promised to give the matter his serious attention , and to bring it , at an early date , before the Provincial Grand Lodge and the Grand Lodge . Other business was transacted connected with the province , and the brethren afterwards sat down to dinner , served in the best style by Bro . Halsey .
