the Assistant Officers would bo equal to any occasion ; tho W . M . might rely upon them . W . Bro . Dn Pre proposed the Visiting Brethren . He thought his was the toast of the evening . It had been his lot to travel over the world , and whether in India , America , or any part of Europe , he had alwavs received a hearty welcome and invaluable advice . Lodgo 70 , l ' iko every other Lodge , was always

delighted to have visitors , they could not como too often , or m too great numbers . He should ask tho W . M . 's of Lodges 105 aud 156 , and W . Bro . Vincent Bird , tho Treasurer of tho Three Towns Casual Belief Fnnd to respond . W . Bro . Twoso 105 , and W . Bro . J . Y . Avory 156 , reciprocated all the kind wishes of tho proposer , and enforced the principle that it was tho duty , as well as the pleasure of Masons

to visit each other as often aa practicable . W . Bro . V . Bird m the course of his remarks adverted to the Educational Schemo which had been previously spoken of by Bro . Curteis . _ Years ago ho had advocated it ; had recently ondeavoured to initiate it ; and was ready to support it in a practical way , and to the best of his ability . Bro . Gover said that , notwithstanding

what had been uttered by previous speakers , they came now to the real toast of tho evening , they could do without assistant officers , they might , however , hardly do without Masonry , but it was quite impossible to exist without the ladies . All true Masons were poets , all true poets were Masons , and from time immemorial had united to bear willing testimony to the influence of tho better and

fairer part of mankind . Truly thoy wero " ministering angels . " He could not understand how a bachelor conld exist , but ho knew all who were happily married sympathised with them in their un . happy condition . Bro . W . F . Moore , with much p leasure , returned thanks , although his idea was that it should have been the pleasant duty of a younger bachelor , still he would y ield to none in his

respect and admiration of the ladies , for whom ho esteemed it an honour to respond . The Eev . W . Whittley proposed the last toast . Our Poor and Distressed Brethren . In Masonry the poor were never forgotten , the charity of the Order wa 3 universal , and he appealed to tho brethren to keep np their high prostige , and to go on in a pure rivalry to do good to their fellow men ,

The enjoyment of the festivity was much enhanced by excellent song 3 from Bros . Thomas , J . J . Avory , J . Y .
