Statement Of Provincial Contributions To The Royal Masonic Institution For Girls, For The Septennial Period 1875-81.

STATEMENT OF PROVINCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE ROYAL MASONIC INSTITUTION FOR GIRLS , FOR THE SEPTENNIAL PERIOD 1875-81 .

] FOLLOWING up the plan we adopted in respect of the last Anniversary Festival of the Eoyal Masonic Benevolent - Institution , we have compiled a similar statement of tlie Provincial Contributions to the Eoyal Benevolent Institution for Girls during the seven years 1875 to 1881 , both inclusive . It will doubtless be noticed b y our readers that Yorkshire heads the list in this case likewise as regards the aggregate of its contributions , Middlesex being a good second , with Gloucestershire next ; then Kent , and thon , pretty closely together , West Lancashire , Staffordshire , Berks

and Bucks , and Wilts . The conspicuous absentee from all the Festivals of this Institution is Northumberland , which has , however , figured well at the Boys' Anniversaries , and which , we hope , will be still more brilliantly represented at the Festival on the 29 th instant . It will be noticed also that very many of the Provinces , such as Berks and Bucks , Cheshire , Kent , the two Lancashires , Middlesex , North Wales and Salop , Oxford , Suffolk , Surrey , Sussex , Warwickshire , and West Yorkshire , make a point of being represented regularly . We shall merely add that the figures are

taken from the official lists furnished to us by the Secretary of the Royal Masonic Institution for Girls the morrow of each Festival , and are the same , therefore , as we have dealt with in our Analyses . We state further that the chair on the several occasions was taken by the following distinguished members of the Craft , namely : —In 1875 , Lord Mayor David Stone Grand Junior Warden ; in 1876 , Sir H . Edwards , Bart ., Provincial Grand Master West Yorkshire : in

1877 , Lord Suffield Provincial Grand Master Norfolk ; in 1878 , Lord Carnarvon Pro Grand Master and Provincial Grand Master Somersetshire ; in 1879 , Colonel Creaton Grand Treasurer ; in 1880 , His Eoyal Highness Prince Leopold Provincial Grand Master Oxon ; and in 1881 , Sir M . E . Hicks-Beach , Bart ., M . P ., Provincial Grand Master Gloucestershire . The grand total is £ 33 , 396 5 a Id , and gives us as nearly as possible an average per Festival of £ 4771 .

Statement Of Provincial Contributions To The Royal Masonic Institution For Girls, For The Septennial Period 1875-81.

STATEMENT OF PROVINCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE ROYAL MASONIC INSTITUTION FOR GIRLS , FOR THE SEPTENNIAL PERIOD 1875-81 .

] FOLLOWING up the plan we adopted in respect of the last Anniversary Festival of the Eoyal Masonic Benevolent - Institution , we have compiled a similar statement of tlie Provincial Contributions to the Eoyal Benevolent Institution for Girls during the seven years 1875 to 1881 , both inclusive . It will doubtless be noticed b y our readers that Yorkshire heads the list in this case likewise as regards the aggregate of its contributions , Middlesex being a good second , with Gloucestershire next ; then Kent , and thon , pretty closely together , West Lancashire , Staffordshire , Berks

and Bucks , and Wilts . The conspicuous absentee from all the Festivals of this Institution is Northumberland , which has , however , figured well at the Boys' Anniversaries , and which , we hope , will be still more brilliantly represented at the Festival on the 29 th instant . It will be noticed also that very many of the Provinces , such as Berks and Bucks , Cheshire , Kent , the two Lancashires , Middlesex , North Wales and Salop , Oxford , Suffolk , Surrey , Sussex , Warwickshire , and West Yorkshire , make a point of being represented regularly . We shall merely add that the figures are

taken from the official lists furnished to us by the Secretary of the Royal Masonic Institution for Girls the morrow of each Festival , and are the same , therefore , as we have dealt with in our Analyses . We state further that the chair on the several occasions was taken by the following distinguished members of the Craft , namely : —In 1875 , Lord Mayor David Stone Grand Junior Warden ; in 1876 , Sir H . Edwards , Bart ., Provincial Grand Master West Yorkshire : in

1877 , Lord Suffield Provincial Grand Master Norfolk ; in 1878 , Lord Carnarvon Pro Grand Master and Provincial Grand Master Somersetshire ; in 1879 , Colonel Creaton Grand Treasurer ; in 1880 , His Eoyal Highness Prince Leopold Provincial Grand Master Oxon ; and in 1881 , Sir M . E . Hicks-Beach , Bart ., M . P ., Provincial Grand Master Gloucestershire . The grand total is £ 33 , 396 5 a Id , and gives us as nearly as possible an average per Festival of £ 4771 .
