The Boys' School Festival Of 1886.

THE BOYS' SCHOOL FESTIVAL OF 1886 .

"A 1 J E have little to say in addition to what was given V T in our last issue in reference to the third Festival of the year on behalf of the great Masonic Charitable Institutions . They are each to be congratulated on

the results they have achieved , while the handsome manner in which the members of the Craft respond year by year to the calls made upon them speaks volumes in their favour . In accordance with custom , we now append

a brief summary of the totals contributed by London and

the different Masonic provinces . The London Stewards , of whom there were one Irandred and twenty-four , if we include those returned as unattached , contributed a total of £ 5 , 243 lis 6 d , with seventeen lists outstanding .. This amount was distributed as follows : —

Eighty Lodge lists , s 64 , G 3 l ; one Lodge of Instruction list , £ 31 10 s ; three Royal Arch Chapter lists , £ 71 8 s ; the Boys' School Committee Dinner Club list , £ 107 ; and twenty-two unattached lists , £ 102 13 s 6 d . The honour

of having secured the largest London list was won on this occasion by Bro . George Gardner , the Worshipful Master of the Chiswick Lodge , No . 2012 , whose total was £ 240 9 s . He was followed by Bros . Charles Meierhoff

and Carl T . Fleck , the joint representatives of the Old Concord Lodge , No . 172 , who between them have raised a sum of £ 200 lis for "Our Boys . " In February , this Lodge was represented at the Festival of the Benevolent

Institution by Bro . W . H . Harris , whose list amounted to £ 22 ls ; while in May , Bro . John Whaley acted for the Girls' School , aud succeeded in collecting £ 16 9 s on behalf of that Institution . We thus see that during the present year

the Old Concord Lodge has sent to the Charities the sum of £ 269 Is , which , in view of its former contributions , is greatl y to the credit of its members . Bro . Frederick J . Wray , of the Wanderers' Lodge , No . 1604 ( who also acted

as representative of the Wanderers' Chapter ) , is next on the Boys' roll , with a list of £ 165 18 s . This is the second occasion on which this Lodge has figured at this year ' s Festivals , one of its members , Bro . George Boulton , having acted as Steward on behalf of the Benevolent Institution

in February , and then securing a list of £ 105 10 s , making a total for the year of £ 271 8 s . Bro . W . C . Claridge , of the London Rifle Brigade Lodge , 1962 , follows close on Bro . Wray , with a list of £ 163 16 s ; this is the only

contribution during the year from his Lodge , but it is ample to call for the approval of the Craft . We next have to refer to Bro . A . M . Broadley , an old and tried member of the Order , who has won honours for himself in distant

lands , and now seems bent on doing his best to secure laurels for one of the most recently consecrated London Lodges—the Drury Lane , No . 2127 , of which he is the Secretary , and from which he brought up a total of

•£ 157 10 s on behalf of the Boys' School . There is then a long drop in the totals , to £ 115 , which is the sum collected hy Bro W . T . Woodruff , as Steward from the Leigh Lodge , No . 957 , and next follows Bro . John Fashof the Fitzroy

, Lod ge , No . 569 , with £ 112 7 s . The Israel Lodge , No . 205 , sent up 109 4 s at the hands of Bro . C . F . Hogard , who recentl y won for himself fresh honours in the Craft in

connection with the newly-formed Chapter attached to his Lod ge . This is the second Festival of the year at which * ° e Israel Lodge has been represented , Bro . J . Da Silva having taken up £ 60 from it to the Girls' celebration in

The Boys' School Festival Of 1886.

May . The Islington Lodge , No . 1471 , follows in order ; its Steward , Bro . W . Shurmur , having secured £ 107 2 s ; then we have £ 107 from the Lion and Lamb Lodge , No . 192 , at the hands of Bro . Wm . Medwin , followed by £ 106 ls from the Aldersgate Lodge , No . 1657 , brought up

by Bro . L . Y . Jolliffe . Two Lodges share among themselves the honour of lists of one hundred guineas , that being the sum collected by Bro . C . Kedgley , as representative of the Pythagorean Lodge , No . 79 , and also by Bro . C . W .

Meiter , who acted on behalf of the Mizpah Lodge , No . 1671 . We are now at an end of the three-figure lists , so far aa London Lodges are concerned , but may refer to the total of Bro . H . T . Miller , who contributed £ 107 as

representative of the Committee Dinner Club . It is very gratifying to watch the regularity with which those who are more intimately associated with the working of the respective Institutions show their continued interest in their welfare ,

as is evidenced by the regular contributions of the various Committees . Another feature worthy of special mention on the present occasion was the presence of a Steward from a Lodge of Instruction , Bro . B . Kauff man , acting on behalf

of the King ' s Cross , No . 1732 , from the members of which he secured a total of £ 34 10 s . We are very pleased to see so good a result attending Bro . Kauffman ' s efforts in one of the Masonic Lodges of Instruction . There should be

ample room for many to follow his example , although we are aware that Lodges of Instruction are frequently relied upon by brethren when making up their lists for the regular Lodges .

West Yorkshire heads the list of contributing Provinces , with a total of £ 760 19 s , brought up by forty-one Stewards . The Province has done very well for the Institutions this year , the total contributions from its members

being £ 1 , 995 19 s , which was distributed as follows Boys'School , £ 760 19 s ; Benevolent Institution , £ 735 ; Girls' School , £ 500 . These are large sums to raise from one Province , even though it has as many Lodges as West Yorkshire can boast of .

Cumberland and Westmoreland , represented by two Stewards , contributes £ 500 , of which amount Bro . G . J . McKay , the Steward representing the Province , is answerable for £ 425 9 s . The other Steward was Bro .

J . H . Hogg , of the Union Lodge , No . 129 . Hampshire and the Isle of Wight was represented by six Stewards , tho total of whose contributions was

£ 496 15 s 6 d . Bro . William Miles , of the Landporfc Lodge , No . 1776 , secured first honours in this district , with a total of £ 155 , while Bro . George J . Tilling , of Lodges Nos . 130 and 1461 , also secured a three figure list , £ 131 5 s .

Norfolk and Sussex were each supporters to the extent of four hundred guineas , the former being represented by two Stewards , in addition to the Chairman of the day , and the latter by seven . The brethren of Norfolk worked hard

in support of their ruler , and if there are only two names on the list in conjunction with the Chairman , it is because it was thought best that only that number should figure as actual Stewards . It is certain that other brethren of this

Province must have taken an active part in securing the amount contributed , which reflects great credit on the district from which it was sent . Sussex , in a measure , was

ing in its midst all who attended the Festival . It is

almost as intimately associated with the actual Festival as Norfolk , for if one Province had the honour of supplying the Chairman , the other had the gratification of entertain-
