F . Hilton , who

were ably assisted therein by the brethren . Lodge was then closed in dne form . Afterwards some bnsiness appertaining to the Masonic Charities was transacted . Bro . J . T . Scotts , the esteemed host , intimated that as he had reached the fifty-sixth anniversary of his natal day , if the brethren consented it would afford him much pleasure to take wine with them . This was assented to by Bro .

Preceptor Bose P . M ., who iu feeling and graceful terms proposed the health of Biro . Scotts , who for a long series of years had been associated with the Lodge , and who had , moreover , striven to do all in his power to render them comfortable . In proof of this , the room which they then occupied was an instance . Without being accused of flattery , he could assert that Bro . Scotts was respected by all who knew him ,

for his excellencies and sterling worth . They , one and all , wished him many happy returns of tho day , and expressed a hope that the great Architect of the Universe wonld shed His benign influence around him , and all those near and dear to him likewise . He having been heartil y pledged , Bro . Scotts acknowledged the compliment in concise bnt appropriate terms . Ho assured the -brethren that he reciprocated

their kindness , and would on all occasions endeavour to promote the interests of tbe Lodge and the comfort of tho brethren . Bro . Eose Preceptor stated that Bro . Bracogirdle was about sailing once more for China , ancl therefore lie would call on the brethren to drink to his good health , coupling therewith their hearty good wishes . Many years wonld elapse ere he could hope to retnru to his native country , and therefore , in the midst of those who knew but little or nothing

about their Order , he hoped that he might prove to them in all his dealings that Freemasonry was something more than a more name . The toast was received with enthusiasm . Bro . Bracogirdle made a feeling speech in reply . Bro . W . 0 . Page sang " Many happy returns Of the day , " and other brethren also favoured with some excellent Songs . ^ The harmony was maintained for somo considerable time , fraternisation not being allowed to flag for a single moment .
