Brethren , numbering nearly fifty , then adjourned to a banquet , provided by Bro . Lear , of the Union Hotel . The usual loyal and Masonic toasts were given , and heartily responded to by all present . The harmony of the evening was enlivened by Bros . Thomas Simpson , J . H . Sweeting , and the W .

The meeting was brought to an early and harmonious conclusion . The following is a description of the Masonic loving-cups , manufactured by Bro . Pelix Hawley , of Longton .
The goblets , manufactured in porcelain , are about nine inches in diameter ; the height , including the pedestal , about elevea inches . The outline is in the Etruscan style ; the bowl is grounded in deep Mazarine blue ; the decoration consists of a border , technically termed a key-border ; beneath is some net-work in gold , entwined with painted festoons of lilies and pomegranates , emblematically representing Unity , Peace , and Plenty ; underneath is a rope in raised gold ,
chased ; in the front are the chain and jewel of the Prov . G . M ., in raised gold , chased ; in the arc of the circle described by the chain is the inscription , written in letters of gold , in the old English style : — " Presented to the Etruscan Lodge , No . 803 , by Lieut .-Col . Yernon , Eight Worshipful P . G . M . of Staffordshire , as a mark of his fraternal esteem and regard , January , 1858 . " On the reverse are the pedestals , surmounted by the celestial and terrestrial globes , the all-seeing eye , the square and compasses , and other Masonic emblems , combined with ears of
corn—all in raised gold , chased , and enamelled . The pedestals of the goblet are decorated with a pattern , in squares , worked with raised gold and enamelled , and a tesselated border in burnished gold . The handles are of burnished gold . While the loving-cups have a high value as indicating the kind feeling of the R . W " . Prov . G . M ., they are in themselves exquisite specimens of art , the production of which , both as regards design and execution , reflects very high credit on the manufactory of Bros . Hawley ,
