ROYAL MASONIC INSTITUTION FOR GIRLS .
THE January Quarterly Court of the supporters of this Institution was held on Thursday , at Freemasons' Hall , Brother J . H . Matthews P . D . G . D . C . in the chair , who was supported by Bros . A . C . and W . H . Spaull , J . M . McLeod , H . Massey , S . J . Attenborough , A . W . Duret , C . H . Malcolm , and C . Pullman .
Brother Hedges , the Secretary of the Institution , read the minutes of the Quarterly Court of 10 th October , and the summaries of minutes of the General Committee meetings . The list of candidates for the election of 9 th April was settled at 31 , and the vacancies in the School for that election , 24 .
A long discussion , initiatied by Bro . Attenborough , arose on the rejection by the Petitions Committee of two girls on the ground that the father of each girl had ceased to be a subscribing member of his Lodge for many years before the birth of the would-be candidate , and on the motion of Bro . Attenborough , seconded by Bro . Duret ( although he did not agree with the proposition ) it was referred back to the General Committee to reconsider the two cases .
The Chairman informed the Court that the 108 th anniversary festival of the Institution would be held on 13 th May , and that the Earl of Yarborough Prov . G . M . of Lincolnshire would preside . The total receipts of the Institution from all sources during the year 1895 was stated to be £ 18 , 248 17 s 4 d .
We have previously availed ourselves of opportunities of referring to the liberality of the members of the Rothesay Lodge in their support of the Charitable Institutions of the Craft , their contributions being alike frequent and continuous , a fact that is evident when we mention that for some time the Lodge has been represented at each of the three Festivals of the year , and on all
occasions the list of the Steward has been headed with a Lodge grant of ten guineas . It will be remembered that on the night of the installation in October last the Worshipful Master undertook to serve a Stewardship for the Boys , and the Senior Warden offered to represent the Benevolent Institution , upon which twenty guineas was voted from the Lodge—ten guineas for each
list—regret being expressed that the Girls School was left out for the time being , although the hope was general that the omission would speedily be rectified , as has since been the case , and the regular grant of ten guineas made from the Lodge . Not content with this splendid record for the current year , however , the members have taken up the cause of the Boys School Scholarship Fund , and have voted twenty guineas in support of it ,
making their total grants so far for the year up to fifty guineasan amount which , particularly in view of the past records of the Lodge , can only be regarded as a most brilliant one . As will be seen from our report elsewhere , this latest amount was voted on
New Year ' s Day , and the Brethren of the Lodge separated thereafter with gratification in the knowledge that they had made a splendid start for 1896—one that may well be held up as a pattern for other Lodges to imitate .

THERE was a crowd of some thousands at the funeral , on the 2 nd inst ., of the late Bro . Wiiliam Holland , general manager of the Winter Gardens , Blackpool . The cortege was joined by the Mayor and Corporation and a large number of the
Masons of the town and district , the ceremony at the graveside being conducted with full Masonic rites . A subscription has been organised in Blackpool with a view to erecting a monument to Bro . Holland ' s memory .
BRO . WILLIAM BOND PAUL , of Wearne Wych , near Langport , died at noon on Sunday , in the seventy-ninth year of his age . The deceased had been associated with the town of Langport all his life , and with Stuckey ' s Banking
Company from his youth upwards , for many years as secretary to the directors and manager of the head office of the Company , which position he resigned in 1887 , and retired into private life . He was a member of the Portcullis Lodge , and for several years filled the office of Treasurer thereof .
