Craft Masonry.

The AV . M . then proposed what he ventured to call the toast of the clay , viz . : " The Health of tho Ladies . " He sincerely hoped they would be invited next year , and he felt that their meeting to day had been such a wonderful success , that he did not doubt a motion for the admission of the ladies would be easily carried . The toast was one which required no recommendation from him to induco them to drink it with enthusiasm , aud he begged to couple with it the name of Bro . Willins .

The toast was drank with every demonstration of respect and good feeling . Bro . Willing , in responding , said that ladies took a very great interest in Masonry because they believed it to be good , ancl because of the support it gave to so many charities , He believed Masons to be thorough "bricks , " and that the ladies were willing to become " mortar , " and stick to them through thick and thin . On behalf of the many handsome ladies present , he begged to tender their sincere thanks for the compliment paid them .

Bros . Walford ancl Tims returned thanks for the toast of " The Officers of the Loclge . " "Tho health of Bro . Charles E . Thompson , the Hon . Sec ., " was made a special toast , und in its proposition a high compliment was paid him for the trouble he hacl voluntaril y taken upon himself in accepting the office of Hon . See ., and for the way in which he had carried out the arrangements . Bro . Charles E . Thompson , S . W * . 1 , 158 , assured the brethren

that if his poor services had in the slighest degree tended to their comfort , he was sufficiently repaid . Undoubtedly he had been put to some trouble , for the Domatic Lodge numbered something like 150 members , but with him it had been a "labour of love . " Twice hacl he proposed that the ladies should dine with the brethren , and ho trusted for tho future the presence of their fair friends at the festive board would be a recognised institution .

Bro . Potter responded to the toast of the " P . M . ' s ; " Bros . Treadwell and Joynt to those of the " Lay Members , " and "The Host , " After some excellent songs , brought to a close by "Twelve bottles more , " by Bro . Carpenter , and a recitation by Bro . Joyce , the company returned to town highly pleased with the proceedings of the day .
