Once more , good night , 0 patrons dear ; May you at ev ' ry coming year With love fraternal each one greet , And live in lasting friendship sweet .
Good night again , may heavenly light Shine o'er you all . Good night , good night .

The GEAND MASTEB then proposed " The Grand Masters of
Ireland and Scotland . " The GEAND MASTEB begged to propose a toast , which , he said , specially deserved their good-will and consideration , for it was the health of a Brother , who was not only pre-eminently connected with every Charity in Masonry , but with every Charitable Institution of this country , and who had shown himself in every sense of the word a true Masonand had done in his long career as great an amount of
, charity as any Mason that had ever lived . He felt that it was unnecessary to say one word more , for no man was better known , or more highly esteemed than Bro . Bond Cabbell , ivhose health he begged to propose in connection with that of the Alce-Presidents and Trustees of tbe Girls' School ( much cheering ) .
From this time the noise and confusion appeared to increase , notwithstanding that the G . M ., and the Toast Master did all in their power to check it , but without effect . Bro . B .
