exponents of Masonic ritual , and to Bro . Philbrick ; and thero were many others , he said , who were prominent and zealous members of Grand Lodge . As for himself he was bufc an ornamental figure-head , but so long as ho had health and strength , he would do his utmost to advance the cause of Freemasonry .

Bro . V . P . Freeman also acknowledged the toast , remarking thafc the new Lodge , the thirtieth in the Province , started under good auspices , and had every prospect of becoming a success . The Chairman nexfc proposed the Prov . Graud Master ,

Lodge , had been unexpectedly detained in Paris on important business . The founders of fche Lodge were deeply grateful to Bro . Trollope for kindly undertaking to act as Consecrating Officer .

Bro . J . P . Slingsby Roberts Prov . Grand Senior Warden , acknowledged the toasfc . Ho said fchafc while all tho brethren regretted the absence of Sir W . T . Marriott , ho especially did so , as he was afraid he should unworthily respond . The Provincial Grand Officers , he said welcomed

the new Lodge , the second added to the roll during the present year . He was glad to hear that there was every prospect of the Lodgo being prosperous . The pleasure of

fcho Provincial Grand Officers was , perhaps , tinged with a little selfishness , for , as the roll of Lodges now reached thirty , the Province secured ext a privileges , and would have additional Officers .

Bro . W . Dawes next proposed prosperity to the Hadrian Lodge . All present , he said , were pleased to meet the W . M . designate and fche founders , and to congratulate fchom . In giving excellent advice and a few practical hints to tho founders , ho said that prosperity came from

within a Lodge , and fchafc fcho brethren should aim , nofc at quantity , bufc quality . However , he hoped to find both amalgamated , so that the Lodge would be successful , In their W . M . they had one who had rendered good service in Freemasonry .

Tho W . M . designate , on rising to respond , was warmly applauded . He said he hardly knew how to find words to thank Bro . Dawes for his kind allusions to himself . The founders , he said , would all remember his remarks , and endeavour to profit by them in fche future work of tho

Lodge . Alluding to his own Masonic experience , he said he was initiated thirteen years ago , and had passed the chair of two Lodges ; ho therefore had some little knowledge of tho working of a Lodgo and fche duties of W . M . Personally he ventured to hope that the work of the

Hadrian Lodge would nofc In far below fchafc of other Lodges in the Province . He was proud to become the first W . M . of the Lodge , and although ho felt , eight years since , when he came to reside in the district ; , fchafc he had experienced sufficient work in Freemasonry to satisfy his

Masonic craving , yet he was induced to join others in taking steps to secure the new Lulge , and the founders had at last been successful . He then submitted tho visitors , and gave a hearty invitation to brethren from

other Lodges to visit , the Hadrian . Bro . W . E . Morrison P . P . G . J . W ., in responding , said they were all pleased to see the new Lodge started under such happy auspices . Bro . R . T . Thornton also acknowledged the toast .

The following story ia accredited in Tit Bits to fche Birl of Kintore , at a recent Masonic banquet : — " One day , shortly after my arrival in South Australia , a gentle , tn * " ! came across the road , and said : " ' I am pleased to see you . '
