not able lo attend as often as ho could wish at Grand Jjodga owing to illness . Bro . Raymond Thrupp was an effioient Graud Officer , and had been their Deputy P . G . M . for years ; he hoped Bro . Thrupp would retain that position for many years to come . Bro . Adams returned thanks .

oveningthe health of the Provincial Grand Master . This needed no words . Their Master was respected , esteemed , and beloved . It was because they recognised in Sir Francis Bnrdett a true , genuine , and enthusiastic Mason , and a kind and courteous gentlemen , one of tho old English
sort ; whenever he came amongst them he extended a genial hand to any brother in Masonry . They all hoped he would be spared for many years of enjoyable hunting . Sir Francis Burdett , Bart ., thanked the Deputy Provincial Grand Master , and the brethren for the kindness with
which they had received his remarks . He hardly felt he could express the gratitude he felt for the kindnoss with which he had been received that evening , and on all previous occasions , but he could say the brethren had exceeded what had been done before . He was not only an old
Provincial Grand Master , but an old member on the list of Provincial Grand Masters . It had always given him pleasure to preside iu Grand Lodge , because he felt he represented one of the most influential Provinces .
He ought not to lose that opportunity of thanking those brethren who had made the excellent arrangements for the meeting , including Bros . Thompson and Clements , and also Bros . May and Poulton , who had decorated the hall most
beautifully . The Visitors was tho next toast , and Bro . E . H . Buchanan , Grand Architect of the United Grand Lodge of New South Wales , in reply , said it afforded him extreme satisfaction to return thanks for the flattering remarks made by the Prov . Grand Master in proposing the toast ,
and for the hearty reception it had received . He felt somewhat selfish in occupying that position , for he thought he had prevented more prominent and deserving visitors from responding , and who could speak locally . He was almost an entire stranger amongst tbem , although he did
not feel so , as the kindly treatment and reception he had received made him feel quite at homo and amongst brethren . He had not yet visited many Lodges in England , but was present at the Annual Festival of tho Girls' School , and he complimented the Prov . Grand Master on having had tbe
honour to preside thereat . The United Grand Lodge of New South Wales would bo pleased to hear of their fraternal greetings , aud he would havo much pleasure in forwarding same in his next letter to Grand Lodge . Tho Provincial Grand Officers was the last toast given by the
