M ., Bombay , The dinner being over , grace was sung by the professional vocalists . His Royal Hig hness the P . G . M . then said—Brethren , the first toast I have to give you is that of " The Patron of the Craft , her

Majesty the Queen , " who has always identified herself with the principles of masonry . I will therefore ask you to drink with bunpers the toast of " The Queen . " This toast was received with the usual Masonic demonstrations of loyalty , and the National Anthem was given . Sir Patrick Colquhoun proposed the toisfc of " The Prince of

AVales , the Princess of AVales , and the rest of the Royal Family . " He referred , in feeling and touching terms to the loss lately sustained by the Prince and Princess , and he expressed , amid loud cheers , the deep thankfulness of the brotherhood that the Princess was recovering her health .

His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales , in responding for the toast , which had been received with loud applause , thanked the brethren , and said it gave him the greatest pleasure to be then , surrounded by the brethren of the craft to which he was proud to belong . He assured them that it was a proud day indeed to him when he became a Mason , and he should always do his utmost to be a worthy brother among them . He

expressed , too , on the part of the Princess , his personal thanks to Sir Patrick for his touching remarks , and his thanks to the brethren for their sympathy . He was glad to announce that the Princess was restored to her accustomed health , and in a short time would be among them . It might be fitting then to announce that the Princess had consented to become the patroness

of tho institution . The toast of " Earl de Grey , the Grand Master , " was then proposed by tbe Royal President , and Lord Clonmell proposed " Tlie Past Grand Master , the Earl of Zetland . " " The Deputy - Grand Alaster ' s Health" was proposed by Bro . C . Sykes , M . P ., who dwelt upou the great zeal and ability the Earl of Carnarvon had shown on behalf of Masonry .

His Royal Highness the Prince of AVales , in proposing the toast of the evening , said , iu general he felt diffidence in asking for subscriptions for charities over whicli he sometimes presided , but he had not such a feeling on that occasion when he looked round and saw on all sides the brethren of the craft , for he knew that one of the main principles inculcated in the minds of Freemasons was charity . He knew that the brethren

composing the vast assembly before him had come with one object , to support this excellent institution . A very full and able report of the institution had been drawn up , and therefore it was not necessary for him to address them at any length . He might say , however , that the institution was founded for the clothing , maintenance , and education of the daughters of decayed

Freemasons , and it provided that the daughters of trust-worthy Freemasons should not be left to the pangs of misery and ignorance . One important point was than it was supported entirely by voluntary contributions , and since its foundation in 1788 it had educated , clothed , and maintained nearly 1 , 000 girls . It was especially interesting for him to be connected with

that institution , as his grand-uncle , George IV ., when Prince of AA'ales , was an earnest supporter of it , and was present at its foundation . It had been the great object of the coinmittee to give tbe girls a good , sound , simple , and useful education—not what it had become the fashion to consider education , but an
