The Boys School Festival.

THE BOYS SCHOOL FESTIVAL .

WE most sincerely congratulate Bro . J . Morrison McLeod the Secretary , and his devoted band of Stewards , who have worked so loyally , upon the success that attended the ninety-ninth Anniversary Festival of the Royal Masonic Institution for Boys , which took place on Wednesday , in the Grand Hall of the magnificent Hotel Cecil , London . Of late years the Boys Festival has been held at Brighton , and many metropolitan as well as Provincial Brethren enjoyed the day ' s outing , but the Board of Stewards were wise in their generation , as after the jubilee

rejoicings it might be reasonably supposed that business men would find some little difficulty in leaving their business for another day , even to help so good a cause . No matter what was the reason , it is sufficient to know that the Brethren rallied round to some purpose , and the Grand Hall was crowded with a goodly company numbering about 650 , of whom a considerable number were ladies . The Right Hon . Lord Henry Cavendish Bentinck , M . P ., Provincial Grand Master of Cumberland and Westmorland presided , and was supported by Bros . George Richards District Grand Master of the Transvaal , Charles E .

Keyser Treasurer , Dr . C . V . Chtlde , Richard Eve , George Everett , Stanley J . Attenborough , George Corbie , John Glass , Dr . Jabez Hogg , Major J . E . Le Feuvre , Robert Grey , Col . F . R . Sewell , George Dalrymple , James Stephens , J . J " . Thomas , C . J . Freeman , Major Woodhouse , T . Blanco White , Dr . Lennox Browne , Edward Ayres , James Speller , Irnre Kiralfy , Hugh E . Diamond , Dr . S . H . T . Armitage , R . P . Walkden , W . G . Kentish , J . H . Matthews , Oscar Philippe , W . Metcalfe , Samuel Moore , J . W . Burgess , C . H . Fruen , John Haviland , Cd K . Benson , E . H . Clarke , J . C . Malcolm , G . C . Heron , & c .

The banqueting room presented a brilliant spectacle , and the dinner itself was of a most recherche description , was admirably served , and reflected great credit upon Bro . Bertini the indefatigable manager . In addition to the table decorations the ladies were provided with handsome bouquets and cases of choice perfumes , a delicate attention on the part of the Stewards . The Chairman was received with loud and long applause when he rose to propose the health of the Queen of the greatest Empire the world has ever seen . Needless Co say the toast was received with enthusiasm , the company standing while the National Anthem was sung by Madame Clara Samuell .

In . proposing the Most Worshipful the Grand Master Lord Cavendish Bentinck said the Prince of Wales was not only our titular chief , but was a hard working Freemason in the cause of charity . He also referred to the action of the Princess of Wales in connection with the Jubilee dinners to the poor , and to the support given to the Craft by the Duke of Connaught . The enormous sum contributed by Masons had culminated in the Albert Hall Fund , which owed its inception to the Grand Master .

Bro . George Richards D . G . M . of the Transvaal responded for the Grand Lodge Officers , as he had the honour to receive Grand Lodge rank on the occasion of the great meeting at the Albert Hall . He said that he felt the natural timidity which characterised all Colonial Freemasons , but duty and pleasure alike invoked him to say a few words . He carried the Badge of the Craft in a State where the Flag of England did not fly , and he deeply felt their kind reception . He tendered his heartfelt thanks to the Board of Stewards for their invitation , and regretted that his wife was compelled to be

absent through ill health . He was glad to find himself a Brother within their walls , and not a stranger within the gates . When he remembered the scenes of the last few days : the great gathering at the Albert Hall , the wonderful jubilee procession , and the display of England ' s might and strength at the Naval review , he could not help feeling proud at being a British subject . Perfect unanimity prevailed among the brethren in the Transvaal , and when they were Kuilding a Masonic Temple the Dutch brethren came forward and liberally assisted them , so that in that far off State they were doing work and prospering exceedingly .

In proposing the toast of the evening the noble chairman snid he was reading a Masonic Journal the other dn , y which referred to the Masonic Institutions as jewels in tho regalia of Freemasonry . The Boys School was one which every member of the Craft should support to the best of his ability . He would not enlarge upon its many excellencies , but it would suffice to remind his hearers that 99 years ago , when the School was founded , only six

children were admitted to its benefits , in 1841 there were 70 , and in 1857 the School was removed to Wood Green . In 1863 there were 100 Boys boing clothed , fed and taught , and at the present time there were 279 . Its success , however , had its disadvantage , as thoy had now to face a large expenditure which was entirely dependent upon thc contributions given by the brethren ; The Board of Management had come to the conclusion that it would be
