In tho profession of the cathedral body were the Bishop of Leicester , Canons Macdonnell , Alderson , and Clnyton , Archdeacons Lighfcfoot and MitohinBon , the Deans of Peterborough and Lincoln , the Bishop of Durham , nnd the Bishop of Maritzbnrgh .

witnessed that day had been realised without a farthing from the State funds . Tho Archbishop of Canterbury , whose health was drunk with throe times three , in replying said that reverence for the Queen forbade any acknowledgment of the toast of her name , and reverence for the Cbnrcb , which he'had in a special way to represent that day , forbade that ho should thank Church people for wishing
health to the Church .

THE RECENT GIRLS' FESTIVAL
To the Editor of the FREEMASON ' CHRONICLE SIR AXD BROTHER , —AS a rule I discountenance taking notice of anonymous complaints , but your correspondent " ANNOYED " seems so much in earnest that I will ask yon to give me space for a line or two of reply to him . The Rules and Regulations he complains of are
" as old as the hillf , " and it is impossible now-a-days to say who was originally responsible for them . It is odd , ind ^ od , to me that your correspondent can have nttended BO many F itivals as he sayn , without having become nware of the great antiqiiiy of these , to him , obnoxious Rules . Furthermore , taking the interest he evidently
doo ? , he must surely havo served as Steward at one time or other , nnd he thus mnst as surely know that these Rnles are read out afc the first meeting of tbe Board of Stewards in each year , to be adopted or rejeoted ns those present may determine . Where was "ANNOYED "
at such a time ? However , let him serve Steward next year , and move that these Rnles be not adopted , or at any rate modified , and I shall be much inclined to second him j for I agree with much that he says j though not with the probable motive that dictated hia letter .
I am , yours faithfully and fraternally , THE ACTING CHAIRMAN , Board of Stewards , 1892 8 th June 1892 .
To the Editor of the FREEMASON ' S CiinoNtctE . SIR AND BROTHER , —I fancy your corrrspondend " ANNOYED " is as thin skinned as his assumed name and writings imply , else he would not have felt there was any cause to find fault with tho Girls ' School Executive for issuing their Festival " Regulations . " What is more annoying than to be interrupted at tbe Festivals of onr
Institutions by tbe few bnsy-bodiea who make it their business to go the round of the tables just for the purpose of greeting all thoy may know or who may happen to know them ? Perhaps it may be urged there are not many who do this , but unless the brethren are told what thoy may aud what they may not do there is no knowing to what
extent this very objectionable practice may extent . I have been moro annoyed at Masonio gatherings at the unnecessary noise afc the festive bonrrl than ever your correspondent can have been afc the instructions issued from the Girls' School , nnd I fancy there are many ethers who , bko myself , can enjoy Freemasonry best when it ia associated with PEACE AND QUIETNESS .
A FLEA h'Oll TJIK UNFOllTUNATI
To the Ldi'ar of the FREEMASON ' CHRONICLE . DEAR SIR AND BROTHER , —It occasionally happens that a candidate for tho Male Fund of tho Royal Masonio Benevolent Institution dies before he has secured enough votes to outitle him to 11 pension , although he may have polled somo hundreds . If ho leaves a widow
slio IS prob'ihly put forward for the Keninlo Annuity Fund , but no notice is taken <> r tho votes polled on behalf of her husband previous to his death . I suppose the two funds are m > far distinct as to
prevent any co-operation in this respect , but I would ask my brother supporters of the Benevolent to bear this point in miud if ever it is contemplated to attempt to knock oil" tho knobs ani excrescences of our Masonic Cnarity system . Yours fraternally , ON THE
