The chairman next proposed the toast of " The Architect . " and said , they were assembled to heartily congratulate him on the result of much work and thought . They would appreciate the fact that the new temple was in ( he place of the old kitchens , and what a transformation . He ventured

in speaking of his work . The chairman said it was a great satisfaction to come there that day , after the toils and worries of the past , to receive those little attentions from the management they all liked , ' and to hear their approval of what had been done .
They had just rebuilt that part of the establishment in which they were dining , and redecorated the whole of the premises . They were deserving of a hearty toast , which he coupled with the name of Bro . Morrell .
In reply , Bro . Morell said he did not know why he was made the guest of the evening . He was proud to make reply on behalf of the directors . They had some reason , he feared , to complain at the lime they had to wait for the additions ; but that , perhaps , enabled them the more heartily to express thanks for the splendid temple now provided . In
proposing the toast of " The Contractors , " he thanked them all , down to their lowest workman . The chairman said he hardly knew how to reply . They were simply the builders , the beauty of the work was due to the architect . The constructive part was theirs , and he felt
sure it would live much longer than he should . In replying , he did so on behalf of all who had taken part in the work , which he was sure would compare favourably with any other in London . The national anthem concluded a most enjoyable evening .
