he had every reason to believe that he should soon have the honour of admitting the Prince of Wales , who would become the Hereditary Grand Master of the Order in the natural course of events . He concluded by proposing fche health of the Provincial Grand Master Bro . the Rev . W . Valentine , complimenting tho York brethren
npon the event of the day . Bro . W . Mann Deputy Grand Governor proposed success to tbe newly constituted Provincial Grand Lodgo of Yorkshire , which was responded to by Bro . T . B . Whytehead , who said ifc would be the object of the Yorkshire brethren to make their Lodge a great success , and a model of good working . Bro . W . H .
Cowper gave the healths of the members of the deputation from Grand Lodge , whioh wns responded to by Bro . Alexander Hay Senior Grand Warden . Bro . W . Brown proposed the Visitors , and Bro . C . F . Matier ( London ) and G . McKay ( Lancashire and Cheshire ) responded . Later in the evening the Northern visitors were con .
ducted by Bro . Whytehead fco view the old Merchants' Hall in York , which possesses many interesting Masonio associations , and when night fell the party once more drew together and spent some time in fraternal interchange of ideas . On Sunday morning most of the visitors attended the service in the
Cathedral where Bro . the Very Rev . Purey-Cust worthily and kindly rules , aad after lunch , with Bro . Whytehead , they paid a visit to the hall belonging to the York Lodge , 236 , and were shown by Bro . J . Todd Treasurer the ancient Records of the Grand Lodge of all England and other notable curiosities . The new adornments of the
hall were greatly admired , and during their visit Bro . Whytehead played a selection of Scotch airs on the bean fcifal organ lately erected . The party nexfc bent their steps to the gardens of the Philosophical Society , and had a delightful ramble amongst the ruins of St . Mary ' s Abbey , the old Roman fortifications , and the Norman
Hospital of St . Leonard ' s , and thence to dinner . In the gloaming another sally forth was made , and the city walls were circumambulated , all assembling once more about ten p . m . for a farewell chat , most of the Scotch brethren returning by the midnight train to
modern Athens , having spent a most pleasant and improving time in York , and leaving behind them a most agreeable impression upon the minds of their York entertainers , who are looking forward to an early opportunity of making a Masonic descent upon the City of Edinburgh ,

to be seen . The piece hardly inspires us with respect for the actions of our forefathers ; some of the scenes between Harry Dornton and Widow Warren , if introduced into a more modern piece would , we fear , be severely criticised . The company is an exceptionally strong one , and all being well suited to their parts , caused the play to be
well received . Mr . Charles Warner is seen at his besfc as Harry Dornton ; in fact this part suits him better than any other we have seen him in for a long time . Silky , the money lender , is a parfc well adapted to the powers of Mr . Thomas Thome , and he does ample justice to tho role . Old Dornton was creditably taken by Mr . James
Fernandez ; while Mr . Royce Carleton was well to the fore as Sulky . Goldfinch was well acted by Mr . Fred Tborne , while Mr . Fuller Mellish did credit to the part of Milford . Sophia , in the hands of Miss Kate Rorke , was perfect j this young lady sustaining the part with all the requisite skill , combined with natural grace . Miss
Sophie Larkin personated admirably the character of Widow Warren , while a meed of praise is due to Miss Louisa Peach , as the maid Jenny .

Prom the very beginning it was seen that the " new and original musical comedy " was doomed , and act afier act was received with derision . " Our Agency" is by Messrs . Burlington Brumell and
W . G . Matchem , and is intended to depict several persons who desire to appear either on the music-hall or the dramatic stage , Act 1 is brought to a conclusion by the grand " Clito" ballet . This is performed by seven coryph 6 es with Madame Besanio as premiere danseuse . Several groups—most of which cannot be said
to represent any familiar picture—are formed , bub on Monday tbe " figures " had a strong tendency to falling over , or stepping down before their time . Act 2 shows us the agents' dramatic offices and rehearsal rooms , and here wo are subjected to a display which ono might expect to see outside " Richardson's Show " at a country fair .
Two more acts follow iu the same strain , bufc fchey go from bad to worse . Of tho acting wo can only say that it might have been worse , but not much . The only artistes really worthy of mention arc Mr . Frank Oswald , as tho agent , Harry Burlington , and Mr .
