Royal Masonic Institution For Boys.

those who have in former times supported it so nobly and liberally . I commend it further to those brethren who as individuals have sympathised with it , but have not yet given any visible and tangible evidence of that sympathy ; and lastly , and certainly most potentially , I commend it to those who can do more for it than any brother here

present , the ladies , who have sat down with us to-day . After this toast , which it is needless to say was received with enthusiasm , was disposed of , Brother Binckes , Secretary of the Institution , announced that the recipients of the prizes—viz ., Francis Dalrymple Lane ( for good conduct ) and Richard Newton Carter

( elected by his schoolfellows)—were not present to receive their rewards . Bro . Binckes explained that the Festival had been postponed a week ; it was now the holidays , and tho boys could not attend . Ho hoped , however , that this public acknowledgment would make amends for the disappointment . He then commenced , amidst

the greatest excitement , to read out the Lists of Donations , which amounted in the aggregate to the munificent sum of £ 12 , 700 , with thirty-nine lists yet to be received , and triumphantly asked the brethren whether tho result was not an answer to those who had prognosticated that tho introduction of ladies to our banquets must

end in failure ? After several other toasts , the ladies and brethren adjourned to the Concert-room , where the various songs wero most artistically rendered ; indeed , tho musical arrangements , which were under tho direction of Madame Thaddeus Wells , gave the most unqualified satisfaction .

We append the List of Patrons and Stewards , with the several amounts collected or subscribed by them which have been received up to the time of our going to press : — PRESIDENT . Right Hon . Lord Balfour of Burleigh P . G . S . W .
