The AV . M . proposed the health of the Right Hon . the Earl de Grey and Ripon , who was at the hoad of the Craft as Most AVorshipful Grand Master . It had been bis lot many times to give the toast of the health of the Ear ! of Zetland , Immediate Past Grand Master—a well-tried aud worthy Mason—and now he was glad to say his successor was worthy of the post he now occupied . As Deputy Grand Muster the Earl de Grey for many won the respect and esteem of tiiu whole Craftand he
years , ( the AA . M . ) was sure as M . AA . G . M . ho would not onl y retain it but would create in the hearts and minds of the brethren a feeling which would last as long as his life and muoh longer than he was likely to he in the Craft in his present high position . He ( the W . M . ) was in favour of the seven years' system . That question had not dropped , and he trusted it would not , until that end was attained . He was far from offering anything like
disrespect to the M . AV . G . M ., but , he thought the principle of life appointments was wrong . He hoped they would drink to the health of one who was not only " the head , " but an ornament of the Order . The toast was well received , as it always is at meetings such
as this . The AA . M . called upon the brethren to drink the health of the Earl of Carnarvon , D . G 3 L , and the other grand officers , past and present , which they cheerfully did . The AV . M . said there was one other toast , coming under the denomination of " usual toasts , " and that was the health of our brethren in the " Army , Navy , and A olunteers . In referring more particularly to the Reserve Forces , the AA . M . said he had
had no doubt they would acquit themselves as well as the regular army had done . Bros . Charles E . Thompson and Burgoyne severally responded to the toast . Bro . Price proposed a toast which lie said the brethron would be sure to receive with p leasure , and that was the health of Bro . AVigginton , the AA . M . He heartily congratulated them on having such a brother to preside over them ; and , from what he
knew of him , he was sure that under his judicious guidance the lodge would continue to prosper . He thought they ought to he very proud of him , for he was a worthy man and a true Mason . He trusted he would live many years to be amongst them . The toast was received with every fraternal demonstration of
approval . The AA . M ., who was loudly cheered , returned thanks . He said—For the kind manner in which the toast had been reeeivod he scarcely know what to say , but he hoped that so long as he was connected with the lodge he should do his duty to their entire satisfaction , nc then proposed the health of Bro . Terry , and in doing so said any remarks upon him would be superfluous . Ho came at a very short notice to perform the ceremonies and
certainly they would agree with him that he had done so in a beautiful manner—in a manner not onl y creditable to himself , but in a way of which the lodge might justly be proud . For the sake of the lodge he hoped they might of ' ton see Bro . Terry amongst them very frequently , and be able to avail themselves of the instruction he was always so willing to give them , provided their excellent friend and Bro . Richard Lee should be unavoidably absent . Bro . Terry P . M . tendered his very hearty and very sincere thanks for tho very kind way in which the brethren had responded to the toast , and as he had stated in lodire , so , he repeat-

ed , that what little service he could render thcin he was always most happy to do , if it would in the slightest degree benefit any member of the lodge . He derived most of his information from one of tho best Masons who ever lived—Bro . Stephen Barton Wilson ; and as he had done before , so he would do , and that was to impart what little lie knew to those who were auxious to learn . He trusted they would make the Lodge of
Instruction of a high class character . He suggested devoting two hours to the working of the ceremonies , and about an hour after the business , to social chat and and friendly intercourse . They would find a better class of persons attend , and it would be sure to work well , as it had done at the "Emulation" and " Stability '' Lodges of Instruction . After stating how well an association for the purpose of contributing a shilling per week , towards the Charities , of which he was the promoter , had
progressed , and dilating at some length upon its merits , he concluded by again thanking thorn most cordially . The AV . M . proposed " Prosperity to the Royal Standard Lodge of Instruction , " coupled with the name of Bro . R . Lee , the Preceptor . He assured Bro . Terry that all his remarks had met with his approval , and stated for his information , that one of the propositions now before the lodge was a scheme by which the charities would be very greatly benefitted , and that was , "That
out of the fee paid by initiates , past and to come , the sum of £ 1 Is . Od . shall be paid to the Charities , " and if they were able to carry that they would soon be provided with life-governorships . It augured well for a new lodge that before they had been eslahlislied one year , tliey were enabled to inaugurate a Lodge of Instruction , which would be a nursery fur good officers of the mother lodge . The toa > t was well received .
Br-. R . Lee returned thanks and expressed his acknowledgments for the honour done him , and promised to give his most assiduous attention to his duties as Preceptor . Other toasts were given , and the meeting separated . The Lodge of Instruction will henceforth hold its meetings every Friday at the "Marquess Tavern , " Canonbury , when the brethren will be glad to welcome visitors .
