The Earl of Monnt Edgcumbe , in proposing the first toast , said as that was the fir-ft time he had presided at one of the Grand Festivals , and almost tbe first time he had been at one , he hardly knew what was expected of a Chairman in the way of speeches in proposing the toast ., bnt be thonght be shonld be right in saying that they would desire to have them short after the long ceremony they had already
bad , and in view of the musical entertainment yet to come . He also knew this , that they mnst not omit to express their devotion to tbe gracious lady whom thoy hoped to welcome back with renewed health to her dominions to-morrow . The unfailing loyalty of the Fraternity was shown in words which wonld strike home to the hearts of all it-i members in the time-honoured toast which ooupled inseparably the
name of the Sovereign with the familiar title of the Society with which they associated themselves—the Queen and the Craft . The Earl of Mount Edgcumbe said , although their organisation precluded tbe Queen from taking any active part in the Craft , they mnst all recognise with gratitude that she had given them her sons and her grandsons , he might say on both sides of tho North Sea : but
foremost among them in English Masonry stood hia Boyal Highness , their Grand Master , whose genial presence they all knew so well , but whom , from unavoidable circumstances , they missed that night ; whose influence during the 16 years he had held the high office of Grand Master had done so mnch to bring Freemasonry to the high and powerful position which it held in this conntry at the present
moment . The Prince of Wales was well qnalified to represent worthily British Masonry amongst their brethren in foreign lands , and to welcome Masons here as he did in the Jnbilee year when the King of Sweden was on our shores . If any doubt had ever eome into their minds as to the wisdom of tbat law of Masonry , which was as inexorable as the laws of the Medes and Persians , not
permitting them to admit to their ranks any of the gentler sex , it was then they thought , with some measure of regret , tbat when the Prince of Wales was obliged to come to their meetings they had not ,: he opportunity as Masons of rendering their homage to the Princess of YVnles , whose personality he khew wo 9 always in their minds when they drank the health of their Grand
Master . Before giving them the toast ho might perhaps be just allowed to say that he could not drink it himself without the recollection coming into his mind of many acts of personal kindness received by him from his Eoyal Highness , not the least of them being that which had placed him in tho chair tbat evening . He gave them the toast of " Tho M . W . G . M ., H . R . H . the Prince of Wales . "
Bro . Dr . Egan Dist . G . M . of tho Eastern Division of South Africa , proposed tho Right Worshipful Deputy Grand Master , and tbe reat of the Grand Officers . The Earl of Monnt Edgcumbe , in reply , thanked the brethren very much for their kind reception of him , and he hoped they would give him their Support and assistance in caee bo should havo to perform any duty in the absence of bis superiors in Grand Lodge .
