SATUEDAY , 1 ST JULY 1899 .

Festival Of The Royal Masonic Institution For Boys.

FESTIVAL OF THE ROYAL MASONIC INSTITUTION FOR BOYS .

fr ** HE one hundred and first Anniversary Festival of this Institution took JL place on Wednesday , at Brighton , the Boyal Pavilion and grounds being placed at the disposal of the Board of Stewards by the Corporation . The arrangements were perfect , and everything passed off without the slightest hitch or mishap to mar a pleasant day . Bro . 3 . F . S . Gooday , the General Manager of the London , Brighton and South Coast Eailway , provided special trains , which conveyed a goodly number of visitors , including a large

proportion of ladies , some leaving Victoria at 11 o'clock to . enjoy a long day by the sea , though the greater number proceeded by the 1 . 35 train , which reached the Royal Borough about an hour afterwards . Upon reaching the Pavilion we found the fine band of the Coldstream Guards , under the direction of Bro . John Bogan , bandmaster , playing upon the Eastern Lawn , and the scene presented che appearance of a large garden party . The charming toilets of the ladios contrasted prettily with the sombre black coats

and silk hats of the Brethren , and , favoured hy fine weather and a cooling breeze , a very pleasant couple of hours were passed in agreeable conversation . Bro . Charles E . Keyser Past Grand Deacon Treasurer of the Institution presided at the Festival Banquet , which was'held in the Dome at five o ' clock , and here again the arrangements , for which Bro . David Mutton was

responsible , were all that could be desired . The guests , who numbered about five hundred , were seated at seven long tables , encircled by that reserved for the principal visitors . The Stewards wearing their badges , which bore the crest of the benevolent * and generous Chairman , were in attendance , and upon the company being in their places , ushered in Bro . Keyser , who was received with hearty applause .

Among those present were Bro . the Earl of Warwick Deputy Grand Master , George Bichards District Grand Master of tbe Transvaal , the Ven . Archdeacon Sinclair P . G . C , Bichard Eve P . G . T ., the Baron de Ferrieres P . G . D ., Major Carrell P . G . S . B ., James Stephens P . D . G . D . of C , WiJliam Shurmur P . G . S . B ., P . Colville-Smith S . G . D ., Imre Kiralfy A . G . D . C ., Major

3 . Lefeuvre P . D . P . G . M . Hants , Bichard Clowes P . G . S . B ., Dr . Frederick Spicer , 3 . Morrison McLeod P . G . S . B . Secretary of the Institution , and many other distinguished persons , including the Sultan Mahommed Khan , the Secretary of State for Afghanistan . The programme of the proceedings was tastefully designed , and contained portraits of the President and Mrs . Keyser , and views of the Pavilion , the present and the new Schools .

Upon the termination of the repast , the Chairman rose to propose the Queen , who was the oldest living subscriber to the Institution , having been persuaded by the Duke of Sussex , a former Grand Master , to extend her patronage to the Boys School in 1838 . The toast was drank * with extra enthusiasm , having in mind the fact that it was the anniversary of Her Majesty ' s coronation . That of the Grand Master was as heartily received , after which Bro ,
