Many volunteer toasts ana statements werc after
ward offered
Brother Howard said he had the honor OF having
been a Mason more than 30 years. during which
time he had attended many celebrations and Ma
sonic ceremonies. In that period he had never mini
gled or directed Masonic movement OF any KIND
which gave HIM more pleasure than the present oc-
caSon. Not the slightest word OF action has occur
red during the evening to mar our pleasures every
thing has passed of IN harmonious beauty. Truly
the palmcSt days of Masonry have again dawned up
on Old Putnam. He would not detaiu the Brethren
at that late hour with elaborate speech but m be-
half of this Lodge and of the Grand Lodge OF the
state OF New ork, he begged 10 thank Brother
Haynes for the able manner IN which he had dis
charged all the important and responsible duties OF
tins day and evening
Al this stage the health OF DIR. Sands younS and
very promising Surgeon of Cold Spring, was drank,
with three times three. The Doctor excused himself
from replying ON the ground of his peculiar position
here where there are 50 many physicians older than
himself, and that his appearance, although an invited
guest, lmportuned 10y many OF ms friends TO attend,
might be construed rs an enoT, on ms part TO bring
himself before the public
WATSON C. HAYNgS paid a compliment to the doc
tor and said he pleased 10 see him here andthat
nc (HayncS) with other brethren OF tins Lodge, had
not only extended the invitation bat truly lmpor-
tuned HIM TO attend, and IN behalf az the Lodge he
welcomed HIM here.
Mr. HAYNES then made the closing speech, andthe
company retired well pleased With themselves and
the whole of the evening proceedings. As the COM
pany were about To adjourn 1t was moved to have an
extract of the minutes published IN The NciC- YORK
Tribune, and report accordingly prepared The
company then separated, the band PLAYING " Home,
