To His ROY At HIGHNESS THE PRINCE OF WALES , K . G ., &< j . & o . & o . MOST WORSHIPFUL GRAND MASTER OF ANTIENT FREE AND ACCEPTED MASONS OF ENGLAND . MAY IT PLEASE YOUR ROYAL HIGHNESS , We , the Provincial Grand Master , the Past Provinoial Grand Master , the Deputy Provincial Grand Master , and the present and

past Provincial Grand Officers and other members of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Leicestershire and Rutland , in open Lodge assembled , beg leave to offer through yon , Most Worshipful Grand Master , to all the members of the Royal Family , the expression of our profound regret and tender sympathy in this season of bereavement . To Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen , we beg you , Sir , to

present our loyal homage , and to assure Her Majesty that in our several homes is deeply felt the shadow of the irreparable loss caused by the decease of her son , and that at such a time as this the heart of England beats in union with her own . To your Widowed Sister , her Royal Highness the Duchess of Albany , we beg you , of your goodness to say , that beyond tbe

immediate circle of the Royal Family , the late Prince Leopold is mourned by none more truly than by the Brethren of tho Order be adorned , and in which he deservedly ranked so high . To YOU , MOST WORSHIPFUL GRASD MASTER , and to the Royal Princes , your brothers , now absent on foreign service , we , your humble but true brethren of the Craft , respectfully offer our fraternal snpport iu deepest sympathy since we feel that a Freemason is never so

truly " brother to a Prince " as when bis Prince is stricken with one of the sorrows of oar common humanity—the loss of an estimable and dearly-loved brother . To ALL YOUR ROYAL HOUSE we tender the support of onr prayers , that He who cares for tbe fatherless and tbe widow may have you ever in His holy keeping , and that after happy and honoured lives on earth , you may be re-nnited in the home beyond the grave ; there " to shine as tbe stars for over and ever .

The language of tho address was very happily selected , and he felt sure that in a suitable manner it expressed the feelings of tho brethren , and conveyed everything that they conld wish to say on so

monrnfnl an occasion . After making appropriate allusion to the interest evinced by the late Prince Leopold in all Masonic matters , and to tbe admirable manner in which His Royal Highness had fulfilled tho many great and onerous dnties of his high rank and distinguished position , and particularly to the eminent manner in which he cultivated and encouraged tbe liberal arts and sciences , tho Right Worshipful Provincial Grand Master concluded by proposing that the

address shonld be adopted and presented to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales Most Worshipful Grand Master . Bro . Toller , in seconding the adoption of the address , fully agreed with the Right Worshipful Provincial Grand Master in his remarks respecting the language contained in the address , and also a 3 to the great loss sustained in tbe sudden and lamented decease of the Duke of Albany , who , bad he lived , would undoubtedly have been called to even
