Albert Prince of AA ' ales , and the rest of the Royal Family . " The AV . M . then said the next toast on the list was one that every true Mason ivould drink from his heart . Every Alason must feel proud iu elviuking long life , health , prosperity to him . It was "The Earl of Zetland , M . AV . G . A 1 . of England . " ( Loud cheers ) . Tiie . AV . AI . said he could say a great deal in reference to the next toastbut he would not do than mention

, move the name of ' -Lord Panmure , R . AA ' . ' D . G . AI . " ( Applause ) . The AA ' . AI . said , the nextloast we'have before us is one in which they all felt a great interest , and one that now ivas evidently bound up in every Englishman ' s heart , namely , " Our Army , Navy , and noble A olunteers . " Bro . S . AIADDOCIKS , after returning thanks , said he used to think that there was great cordiality anil harmony among Ins brethren in the army ; but he must admit lie found more amongst his brethren in Lodge . AA'ith

reference to the volunteer movement , he was proud to find how nobly the citizens of Liverpool had como forward in defence of their country . He must say the volunteers had done a great deal for tlie security of tiie country , aire ! he trusted the movement would spread and prove to their enemies that though a great commercial nation , they were also a military people . ( Cheers ) . The AA' . M . said , my next duty is to propose the health of our venerable R . AA " . Prov . G . AL , Bro . Le Gendre N . Starkie , who , though infirm , and is prevented by these infirmities from

coming amongst us , has shown he ha-i our common interest at heart , aucl he is therefore entitled to our respect and admiration . ( Cheers ) . The health of Bro . Sir G . Hesketh , Bart ., R . AV . D . Prov . G . AL , and all the Prov . Grand Officers , was afterwards given from the chair , and was received with great applause . Bro . HAJIER , Prov . G . Dir . of Cers ., said , for their kindness in drinking thc healths of the "Provincial Grancl Officers he returned his sincere thanks . He thought it was a groat honour to have his health drunk in the maimer it hael been . Lodge No .

! 171 ivas one of the largest Lodges in the province , and it was a great credit to them . He considered that tho size of the Lodge entitled them to bo represented in Prov . Grand Lodge , and he thought they ought to have one of the Alasters in office in Prov . Grand Lodge . As to the honour they had done the D . Prov . G . AI . Sir T . Hesketh , he should take tho earliest opportunity to inform him of tho manner in which his name bad been received . ( Applause ) . The AV . AI . said , the next toast was one which came homo to them all—it was " Success to the AA est Lancashire Alasonic Educational Institution , " and if there was

one person more than another to whom they were indebted for its establishment and success , it was their worthy Bro . AYalmsley , Prov . G . Treas . Bro . AA ' ALMSLEY' said he had had to complain on many occasions , not only iu being called upon to respond to the toast , but in gii-iug him too much credit in the establishment of the institution , while there were others ivho had taken quite as active a part as he had done . The amount now in the funds according to the report j ust issued , was . £ 3 , 100 , in addition to 100 guineas given by one ofthe Lodges the other evening ,

so that the fund iu connection with the institution now amounted to between £ 3 , 200 , and £ 3 , 300 . If the same interest in the institution hael been manifested when it was first proposed as now , the fund would now have amounted to about £ 5 , 000 . As thc Lodge was second to nono in the province in position and in numbers , he trusted they Avould follow the example of some of the Lodges in the province by presenting fifty guineas to tlie funds of the institution , and making their AA ' . AI . a life member . To this request he felt sure they would acceeel , and feel

a pleasure in doing so . ft was a singular fact , he said , that there were no more members now in this toivn belonging to the various Lodges than their ivere ten years ago . This might ho accounted for by the great number of brethren connected with the sea , and by others retiring from an active part in the Order ; but ho felt that though they might liai' 0 retired from Alasonry , they should feel an interest in the noble institutions of the Order , and at least assist in their support . Before concluding he could not refrain from alluding to the prosperous state of

their position in the town after' all . For the advantage of the Loel ges of the town and the province the land and buildings in Hope-st . hael been purchased at a cost of £ 1 , 600 , aucl upwards of £ 100 had been expended in making such alterations in the premises as were necessary to make it a suitable and convenient place for the Lodges and brethren to meet in . Before sitting down he expressed a ivisli that the members of the Lodge would keep the interest of the institution before thorn . ( Cheers ) . The AV . AI . then gave "Tlie AA ' orshipful Past Alasters of Jjoclge 971

No . , " coupled ivith Bro . May , immediate P . AI . After returning thanks , Bro . AIAY said he could assure them that the first moment no entered into Freemasonry he made up his mind to devote the whole , ot the time and energies at his disposal to advance in the Order . J * £ could assure them that the more he had searched into the seovej /^' wie institution , the more he felt a wish to go on . The more 1 / g-wbt initiated into the mysteries and principles of the Order , the mete [ hi wlevered it , The time and attention , which lie had devoted to the , 4 § -W ,

of our Order had resulted in his being placed , in tho position he then stood of P . AL of tlie Loelge . He could not refrain from returning his sincere thanks fbis the kindness whicli had been shewn him by all during his year of office . Before setting down he would give notice of his intention to lnoi-e that the sum of twenty pounds be given to tho funds of The AA ' est Lancashire Masonic Institution for the Education

and Advancement in Life of Children of Distressed Masons , to mako their AV . AI . a Vice-president of the institution . They had money in the bank , and what was tlie use of it being there if it was not for the purposes of tlie Order . Some of it could not be devoted to a better object than an institution in ivhieh thoy all felt a common interest . Bro . AIay , P . AL , then proposed "The health of the AVorshipful Alaster of No . 97 * L Bro . Charlton , " of whom he spoke in the highest terms . The AV . AI . saiel he had great pleasure in Avitne .- 'sing the enthusiastic manner in

ivhieh his name had been received , and for their kindness he felt deeply grateful . It was gratifying to find that the Lodge , which was only fouryears old , was in such a flourishing position and second to none in numbers in the province . He hoped to have it in his poAA'or to assist in its future prosperity , and . do all that he could to leave the chair next year to his successor AA'ith the same credit as his predecessor had clone . 'The AA ' . AI . gave "Tire A'isiting Brethren , " to ivhieh Bro . BAXXISTEII replied . He saiel it always gave him great pleasure in visiting Lodges , for it was

only by visiting Lodges that they ivere enabled to see tho working of other Lodges and improving themselves thereby . Ho had visited upwards of two hundred Lodges during the past tivelvo months . Although he had only been a Mason six years , having been initiated in Lodge No . 071 of that province , he had been appointed Prov . S . G . D . of Durham . His knowledge aucl advancement in the Order be attributed to visiting Lodges . Bro . AA ' AOUAII , P . M ., proposed " The AVardens and Officers of No . 971 . " Several other toasts were afterwards given and responded to .

The proceedings ivere agreeably enlivened by the vocal efforts of Bros . Armstrong , Bilcy , and AVoods , who sang a number of songs , trios , and duets , which were rapturously received . Bro . Johnson presided at the pianoforte . The Lodge closed in harmony shortly before twelve o ' clock .

MONMOUTHSHIRE . Ai !

AV . AI ., Bro . II . J . Higginson . Sei-oral gentlemen ivere balloted for to be initiated , and Morgan Davies Avas initiated into the mysteries of Freemasonry hy dispensation as an Assistant Tyler . The lecture on tho tracing board , in the first degree , was given by the AV . AI . It was afterwards proposed , by the AVorshipful Alaster and seconded by Bro . foirce , S . AV . and carried by acclamation , " That Bro . Henry Bridges , G . S . B . of England , ivho had so kindly attended at the first Lodge to consecrate and the sameand had evinced the deepest interest in the welfare
