MASONIC BANQUET.

Bno. G. S. Graham, Right Worshipful Deputy Grand Master of the| English Con- , stitution for the North Island of New Zealand, was entertained at a grand Masonic banquet in the large room of the Insurance Buildings last evening, to celebrate his return to New Zealand, after a prolonged tour in Europe. There were about 40 of the brethren present, including many high oflioers of the various grand lodges, and past-masters. Bro. W. Lodder, Deputy District Grand Master, presided ; supported on his right by the guest of the evening, Bro. Graham, R.W.D.G. Master, E.G., and Bro. G. P. Pearce, P.G.M., Irieh Constitution ; and on liis left Bro. F. Whitaker, Kight Worshipful Provincial Grand Master, North of I»ew Zealand, Scotch Constitution, and Bro. W. P. Moat, D.G. Registrar. The Vice-chair was occupied Dy Bro. Goldsbro', D.G. Treasurer, supported on the right by Bro. Dawson, and on the left by Bro. Leers, G.G. President of the Board of Geneml Purposes. Full justice having been done to the viands, The chairman proposed " The Queen and Craft," which was received with demon strations of loyalty. In proposing "His Koyal Highness the Pricee of Wales," the chairman said that the spread of freemasonry of late years must be attributed in a great measure to the enthusiastic manner in which the Prince dischuigeß the various duties devolv- I in« on him trom Ilia connection with the craft. The toast was duly honoured. The vice-president, Bro. Goldsbro, pro posed " The Most Worshipful Grand Master of the Scotc'i and Irish Constitu tions, the Duke of Abercorn, and Sir Michael Shaw Stewart." Drunk with Macduff honours. The Chairman said it now devolved on him to propose the toast of the evening, and he regretted very much that it had not been piaced in other hands than his own. He had to propose " The Right Worshipful District Grand Master of the District of Auckland." (Chrerfl.) The banquet had been hastily got up, in consequence of the uncertainty which bad prevailed as to the date of Bro. Graham's arrival, or a much larger attendance of the craft would have been the rrsuit. Nevertheless, they had no reason to be dissatisfied with this impromptu gathering, which had been got up in a few days. He trusted their guest would over look any shortcomings that mieht be apparent. They had assembled to do honour not only to Bro. Graham himself, but to the diKtinguished head of the craft whom he represented—His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. (Cheers.) As loyal subjects of Her Majesty he (the Chairman) called upon them to drink a bumper to Bro. Graham's health. Their guest had enjoyed the opportunities of visiting the whole of the lodges on the Contineut of Europe, in London, Japan, and other places, and would be able to afford much valuable information to the craft in Now Zealand. The toaßt was received with all the honors. Bio. Graham, R.W. District Grand Master K.C., in responding, exposed his hcartv thank* to the brethren for the manner in whicli the had received the toast, H« miißt, however, take rxception to the reference made by the R.W. Deputy D.G. Master to the shortcomings on the present occasion. The assemblage could not be cnllwl a miiill one; tin (he contrary he (Urn. Urnlinrn) wai pioud t<> tntH so large a minib'T of the liicthien of the different constitutions, supported as lie was on his right and lclt by the District Grand Ma<<tc x*. t was very (.'ratifying to him after hit* Ions; absence from the colony to Inl «n cotd!ally welcomed. He lmd nut been able in devote that amount of attention to the various subjects that Ik; had ilo-ircd, bin time having been so fully occupied with other matters during bin lecent al'snnce from the colony, but it was v source of gratification to him that illl'ing iiis lour be had acquired experience and knowledge of masonry which would be of future lienelit to the craft in New Zea land, iind particularly to the lodges under the English constitution, (Cheers). He had many opportunities of visiting the Grand Lodge in Enelatid, nnd had been frrqnently in communication with the highest officers of the English and Scotch constitutions. Unfortunately he bad been unable to visit Ireland. He returned to New Zealand and to Auckland in particu lar, with the utmost gratification, and with the knowledge that the lodges in the colony are conducted to the best of their lights in a manner fully equal to those he had visited at home, tie was present at a small crack lodge in London called the "Kaiscr-i-Hind " founded by their friend and fellow craftsman, Bro. Captain Burton, where ho met many masons of high rank and etauding, and in compli menting them upon their work, he (Bro Graham) reminded them that the founder of that lodge was an Ancklnnd man (cheers), and no lodge in the city of London gave greater satisfaction to the citizens than the " Kaiser-i-Hind." It must not be expected of him on the pre-cut occasion to give an account of hi.i mascnac experience.". He had often heaid tnusonry spoken of as a knife ;ind fo k institution. hey would understand from that phrase that they were accused of ineeiinu' merely to enjoy the good things of this life fie had heard such things slid in Auckland. But when at home lv had opportunities of seeing that these accusations were unfounded. He was at a gathering of Freemasons, at which from 1600 to 1700 were ptcsent. Each of the brethren had paid for his ticket of admission to the banquet, and at the end of the dinner a sum uf £1500 was subscribed tor the Boys' Institute. (Cheers.) He might also instance the funds raised for the Girls' Institute by similar means. This was an answer to the query that Freemasonry is a knife and fork institution. Be had been most kindly received on bis return by the Deputy District Gratia-Master aud District Giand Secretary, who took him for a drive round to Newtou. He visited the Eden and the Kemuera Masonic Halls, which are a credit to the district, and he had also received an intimation that a deputation is about to wait upon him to request his attendance iv Auckland in the cou,rae of a few weeks to assist laying th,e foundation stone of a hull in the city o{ Auckland. {Cheers.) Nothing afforded him greater pleasure tlui,n the knowledge that the spirit of Masonry is pro gressing, and that the ends he had always had in view iv connectiou with the welfare of the craft were bemg attained. He fuuud their Grand Lodge was well known at Freemasou's Hall, and he was .•uipriced to learn that even the names of individual* weie known there, and that the highest members of the craft there spoke in teras of the highest praise ot the mannor iv which Masonry is conducted iv New $.ea. land, which they considered \vo,uld bear most favourable comparison wjtb, the lodges of other co^utr^ea (cheer*). He would not detail his heaters any longer, but would, merely express his thanks for the kindly mauuer iv which they had received him. Ho would leave for the South with feeliugs which he could not cxpieas, but would never forget (cheers). Brother Moat, D.G., Registrar, said he had very great pleasure in proposing the toast alloted to him by the Very, Worship ful Chairman—The health of'the Right Worshipful Provincial Grandmaster, of the Scotch Constitution JJra'Wnftaker, whom .he was very gla,a to see present. Bro. Whita ; kar was, he believed, without exception, the oldest Mason among them, and he had distinguished himself by the services he had, , rendered to freemasonry in Auckland, and in laying foundation stones be^pje fourths of the members present wereinitiated, into the mysteries of the craft. It was only, ! however, of late years, that Bro. Whitaker had consented to occupy the prominent position he now holds in connection \v;th the craft, and he was worthy of the very highest regard for having don? %o, when his itime was so fully occupied with other matters. Ho (Bro. M,oat) knew that Bro, Whitaker desired to devote more time to the M.asonio matters than his various en gagements and duties had permitted. They would, however, al^ agree with him (Bro. ■ Moat) in his appreciation of the beneficial | influence which Bro. Whitak.cv had exer cised over the craft, and particularly the constitution over wliioh be presides in this 'district. (Cheers.^ ; Tho toast was drunk with ajl the honours ■ Bro. Whitaker, R.W. Brovincial Grana j Master, North Island, said he was very ; gratified at the manner in, whioh his health, i had been proposed and received. It afforded • him a great deal $f pleasure to be present on, I this oc^as^on. He had intended to be ab sent from Auckland, but having received a.n invitation to attend this banquet he felt it ! his duty to be present—first ot all his duty ias a Provincial Grand Master,' and next his respect for Bro. G,ro,h.am. There was a kinrj iof relationship batweeu them, inasmuch as | they were twins, (daughter.) They were | both installed as Grand Maaters on the 1 same day. Here they would all meet upon 1 common ground, and whatever, might be I their political views the lion and the lamb [in politic* might lie down together, (daughter). When he saw Bro. Moss E resent he looked on him as the lion aud imself as the lamb. (Renewed laughter.) I Whatever, might be their views on the i various matters afiecting the country, when- I ever they rnei, in lodge or on occasions of this kind they did so with the greatest harmon,yi never introducing any poli tical questions, but sitting down together like two dov«s. (Great laughter L. D NATHAN x. Cfl. —1—

and cheem.) He hoped this would only one of many meetings of a similar kind. He thought it was 'o bo regretted that one of their Provincial Grand Masters should have to be absent from the colony, but he had been represented by Bro.' Lodder, as Deputy, in a very cllicient and and able manner. No doubt Bro. Graham found the Grand Lodge in as good a work ing order a» when he left it. It had been said that he (Bro. Whitaker) was the oldest Mason iv the room, but he did not regard that uh a great compliment. He would like to accept all the compliments that hadbeeu paid him by Bro. Moat, and leave the age out of the question. He would conoludo by thanking the brethren for the kindly manner iv which they had received the toa«t. (Cheers). Bro. Wade, D.G.S., in felicitous terms, proposed the health of Bro. Pierce, brand Master of r> cw Zealand, J.C. Drunk with MacdufF honors. Bro. fierce acknowledged the toast. Uro. Graham proposed the health of the Right W.D.D. Grand Master Lodoer, and said that on his return he had found the lodges.in as good a position as when he left, if not better. The toast was enthusiastically drunk,and res-ponded to in suitable terms by Bro. Lodder, who proposed the health of the Grand Lodge Oificers. Tlie toast was duly honoured and responded to by Bros. Goldsbro', Moat, and Wade. Song, Chairman. Bro. Waddel proposed the " Visiting Brethren," to which Bro. Macfarlane, and Bro. Captain Elliott responded. Bro Moss proposed " Mason's Wivee." Bros. C. B. Stone and L. D. Nathan responded. Bio. Kohn proposed "The Young Ladies," and Bro. W. F. Fenton " Poor and Distressed Brethren all over the Globe," which was drunk iv solemn silence. The festivities concluded at an early hour, after a very plessunt evening had been spent. Mr Dallen was the caterer.
