alluded to Bro . Dorling , the W . M . of the Prince of AVales Lodge . ( Loud applause and full honours . ) Bro . EDWARD DORLING , who on rising to respond was warmly greeted by the brethren , said he felt ifc an honour fco have his name associated with the toast , being an old Mason of some twenty-five years' standing , and he stood there now as W . M . of one of the youngest loelges in the province . ( Applause . ) He had been W . M . of a lodge in 1840 , again in 1856 , and , if ifc pleased

God to spare him , he should be in that proud position in 1866 , and hence fill the W . M . ' s chair three times . ( Applause . ) Masonry never stood in so high a position in the province of Suffolk as it did at the present time , anel the loelges were never in better working order . In some parts of the province a deeper interest in Masonry had been created than hud been known for years , and even their old friend , Bro . Mclnfcyre , hael come out from his years of retirement , and was now

taking an active part in the re-establishment of the Royal Edmund Lodge . ( Loud cheers . ) Other lodges had sprung up , and were now in a flourishing state , and bid fair to hold a high position amongst the lodges in the province of Suffolk . ( Hear , hear . ) He sincerely thanked them for the compliment they had paid the W . M . 's of lodges . ( Applause . ) The Prov . G . MASTER gave the " Masonic Charities , and the Health of Bro . Frederick Binckes . " The toast was drunk with all honours . Bro . BlNCKES , in an eloquent address , earnestly pleaded the

cause of the Masonic Charities , more especially that in which he took a deep interest , namely , the Royal Masonic Institution for Boys . Charity , he said , was a noble virtue , it was one of the great principles of Freemasonry , and one which bound them together by an indissoluble tie . ( Applause . ) The great good which their noble institutions had already effected was , he considered , in itself ample reward for any efforts which might from time to time have been put forth for their

support by the Masonic brethren . ( Hear , hear . ) AA'ith regard to the Boys' School , he believed it would at the present time have been free from debt hael it not have been for the elections and the dissolution of Parliament . Undoubtedly the Institution hael suffered to a great extent from these causes ; still he did nofc despair , but trusted ere they met again on a similar occasion to make that announcement with regard to the Boys' School which he hael so long and so ardently desired ,

namely , freedom from debt . ( Applause . ) He thanked them , for the kind assistance they had already given him , and he looked forward to the time when he should again havo the pleasure of renewing old associations , anel strengthening the mutual tie which now bound them together . iLoud applause . ) Thc toast of "The Ladies" closed the proceedings ol one of the most harmonious and influential Provincial Grand Lodge meetings that has been held in the province for many years . Bro . BOAVLES , The Prov . G . Organist , contributed much to the pleasures of the evening bv his excellent singing .

The Temple of Solomon . Photographed by BAKNES AXD SON " , 422 , Milc-end-road . This photograph , tho subject of which is one of especial interest to the Freemason , is taken from an engraving in tho possession of tho Yarborough Lodge ( No . 554 ) , and cannot fail to attract the admiration of

every lover of the fine arts . It is a most striking proof ofthe perfection attained by tho photographic process . To criticise the Avork before us is out of the question , because criticism involves tho observation of faulty points , and such are nofc evident in the execution of " Tho Temple of Solomon ; " in addition , it Avould be useless for us to attempt to describe its beautiesbut we

, strongly advise our readers to satisfy themselves on thafc point by procuring copies . AVe aro glad to see that Messrs . Barnes have taken tho precaution to protect their interests by registering the photograph under notice .
