well and wisely tho affairs of tho Craft . It was a happy omen for this country that men of all shades of political thought were prepared to sink minor points of detail under the banner of Freemasonry , aud thus they were prepared well to look after tho safety of tho realm . He then related an amusing anecdoto of tho
meeting of a then Lord Chancellor of England with a Lord Mayor of London , the latter of whom considered ho was the better man ; at any rate the office of civic magistrate of the chief city of tho world , which he ( tho speaker ) had lately occupied , was one of great honour and dignity . He then described his recent visit to Ireland ,
where he witnessed the laying of a foundation stone , with Masonic honours , and promised to present a photograph of the event to tho Richmond Lodge . On that occasion a Rev . Mr . O ' llara referred to tho antiquity of the Brotherhood ; in doing which he said he did not know whether or no Masonry was of Christian origin , but at any rate
it inculcated the Christian virtues , and no better motive could bo brought into play than to promulgate the principles of Christian virtue , honour and sympathy that were taught by the Brotherhood of Masonry to its children . Brother Swales also responded , in Buitable terms . Brother B . E . Blasby I . P . M . then proposed the
health of the Worshipful Master , of whom he said his heart and soul was in the work which devolved upon him , and so far as tho present year was concerned , everything had gone on smoothly and prosperously . Brother Digby was an able and excellent Master , fully alive to the interests of the Lodge , and they all wished for him
a very happy and successful year of office . Brother Phillip 3 then sang , in excellent voice , the song "Sunny hours may come again . " The Worshipful Master in returning thanks for tho compliment paid him said it afforded him great relief to be assured that his humble efforts in the chair had so far merited their approval . His year was
now drawing to its close , and he could only hope , when the end did arrive , the members would not regret having placed him in his present honourable position . He then gavo the health of tho I . P . M ., speaking of the valuable assistance he had received from Bro . Blasby in tbe performance of his duties as ruler of the Lodge . Bro . Blasby
was the Father of the Richmond Lodge , in whose behalf he had faithfully and zealously laboured . Indeed , to him the success of tho Lodge was essentially due . Brother Blasby I . P . M . then suitably acknowledged the toast , and wa 3 followed by Brother Abell , who sang in admirable style , " Flow on , thou regal purple stream . " Tho
W . M . next gave the Iuitiate , the toast being received with characteristic dclat , and Brother Maorae , in responding , thanked the brethren for their reception of the toast , adding that the farther he advanced in Masonry the more he was impressed with the grandeur and
sublimity of its teachings and ceremonies . Bros . Swales , Morgan , & c . responded on behalf of the Visitors , and other toasts followed , interspersed with music and singing . A very pleasant evening being thus enjoyed .

IT wonld be superfluous to remind the readers of this or any other English journal of the philanthropic efforts which have been for many years put forth by Dr .

Strand . —After a most successful tour in America and theEng'ish provinces Miss Minnie Palmer made her reappearance here last week iu the variety comedy , "My Sweetheart . " This , siuce last wo saw it in London , has been considerably revised , with a view of making the plot more compact . The doctor , originally an old man , has been
transformed into a young one , who , loving Tina ( Miss Palmer ) without any response from her , devotes himself to promoting her happiness . On discovering that Mrs . Fleeter , the adventuress , already possesses a husband , and the consequent blow to Tony , the latter goes to Europe , whence he has not returned at the date
of tho last act , when all but Tina have lo 3 t faith in him . A comic negro servant has been introduced , but this part would be better if it were " cut" a little . However , the play in this respect takes but a secondary place , the chief attract ! n beinir Miss Minnie Palmer . The moment she comes upon the stage the spirits of tho audience
seem to rise , and sho carries them along as though she were impelled by elfin spalls . Miss Palmer , who is more refined in her stylo than formerly , possesses a sense of fun that is rarely seen , while her singing and dancing appear to have improved . Her droll antics and comic facial play are as irresistible as ever , and it is impossible
to say what next she will undertake . One of the principal attractions of her performance i * 3 the graceful way in which she dances a shadow dance , in the last act , this being nightly encored . She is ably supported by a well trained company . The character of Tony , represented by Mr . Charles Arnold , u even
more artistic from a histrionic point of view ; his impersonation presents a consistent piece of acting , which is natural and refined iu expression . He has also a good voice , which he uses most sncces-fully in his song in the last act . The part of the " broken down sport " is again undertaken by Mr . T . J . Hawkins , and he also comes out with
flying colonrs . Mr . R . A . Roberts is in earnest as lha Doctor ; while Mr . G . E . Poulett is good as Farmer Hatzell . The part of Dudley Harcourt is capitally acted b y Mr . L . D'Orsey ; and Mr . Willie Fieear
makes a good negro . Of the ladies , Miss Annie Baldwin , as Mis * Fleeter , after Miss Palmer , takes first place . This lady would , however , score better if she wero not quite so stagey . Miss Jane Grey is humorous as Mrs . Hatzell . We consider Miss Minnie Palm-r ou ^ ht to fill the honse for some time to come with " My Sweetheart , " although the piece is now iu its fourth year .
The third performance given by the Dramatic Students will take place at the Court Theatre , kindly lent for the occasion by Messrs . Clayton and Cecil , on Tuesday , 19 th January 1886 . John Dryden ' s comedy , "Secret Love ; or , the Maiden Qneen , " will be represented on this occasion . We may state that the objects of this Society ,
which was formed in February last , are to give further opportunities of practice to the junior members of the theatrical profession , and to promote the study of dramatic literature , by the production of the best plays in the English language , especially those little known to the stage .
