We have much pleasure in learning that Lord Henry Cavendish Bentinck , M . P ., Prov . G . M . Cumberland and Westmorland has intimated his willingness to preside over the 99 th Anniversary Festival of the Eoyal Masonic Institution for Boys on 30 th June 1897 , following the invitation extended by the Board of Management at its last meeting .

We hope the Commemoration Festival of the Staffordshire Masonic Charitable Association , which is to be held on Wednesday next , 15 th inst ., at Trentham , will prove a great success . We have every confidence that the arrangements made by the . Committee and the enthusiasm of the Brethren will lead to such a result , and look for a substantial sum as the outcome ,
