hearty applause all round the board.
The responses to the toasts were
appropriate, brief, and humorous,
and were supplemented by volunteer
remarks, scintillations of wit and
repartee, SO that the eloquent air
breathed' merriment. Bro. Porter,
for the Grand Lodge of California,
gave some interesting statistical in
formation on the progress of the craft
in numbers, resources and charities,
the number of craftsmen in the
United States and Canada being
800, 900 and the recruits" of last

charities expanding in every direc-
ton. Bro. Tucker, in answering for
the retiring master, Bro. John Phil
lips, pronounced him "the embodi-
ment of masonry" Bro. Macintosh,
| in answering for the Past Masters,
referred with satisfaction to the pro-
gress of last year and looked hope
fully forward to the future. He
was pleased to see the hearty re-
Spouse made TO the call to attend
service on Sunday evening. Masonry
exercises potent influence in human
izing society, in religion, politics and
other relations Of life. Bro. Soper,
being called up to respond for the
wardens, regretted that his VOICE was
not in perfect training for public
speaking, and referred the audience
to Bro. Tucker, who answered, in a
humorous speech, for the south and
west. The ladies were referred to
| the tender care of Bros. John X.
Wilder and w. Nj. Graham, the lat
ter of whom was of the opinion that
The ladies ought "to be to all true
men the guiding stars of their
lives" As a bachelor he didn't
know exactly what he ought to say
about them, further than that he
loved thep all, though we do look to
them for a great deal of our trouble
as well as for some VI our miseries
and disappointments.
Some go0d,natured sparring took
place between the Two marine com
manderS, Bros. Mcneil and Grlfliths,
