At the conclusion of the dinner , which was most admirably served , The E . W . D . G . M . rose and said , on quitting the labour of refreshment ho would ask them to join with him iu giving utterance to those sentiments of loyalty and charity which he was convinced pervaded their meeting that evening . He had risen to propose to them to drink the health of "Her Gracious Majesty , the Patroness

of the Masonic School for Boys . " In giving that toast he need not appeal to their loyalty to the ladies , because one great characteristic of Freemasonry was loyalty to them as well as to their sovereign . He called upon them to drink the health of Her Majesty with that respect and lovo which was due to her as their Queen and as patroness of their institution—ho called upon them to drink her health in her private and domestic capacity as a wife and a mother , and he called upon them to drink to her health as the first lady in tho laud , as setting a bright example to her sex , whicli was held most clear by every Mason , ( Applause ) .
