THE BOYS SCHOOL .

AS the day draws near for the Anniversary Festival of this Institution there is increased evidence of the customary care being given to the making of proper arrangements for its success , and there is every prospect that the assembly on the 24 th , at Brighton , -will be as much of a success as any of the Anniversaries held at that popular resort .

The second meeting of the Board of Stewards was held on Tuesday , at Freemasons' Hall , when the following report was received , and the necessary work in connection with the settlement of minor details disposed of : — The Committee appointed at the meeting on the Sth May last , to make arrangements for the Festival , had the pleasure of submitting the following report of its proceedings : —

The exclusive use of the lloyal Pavilion Buildings and Lawns at Brighton have been engaged for the day of the Festival , and the Corporation has consented to close the grounds from 2 o ' clock to 8 o ' clock p . m ., thus securing privacy for our Stewards and Visitors . The London , Brighton and South Coast Railway Company has contracted to provide special trains of first class carriages , to leave Victoria Station at

11-0 a . m . ( calling at Clapham Junction and East Croydon ) , and London Bridge Station at 1-35 p . m . ( calling at East Croydon at 1-50 ); returning at 9-15 p . m . for Victoria and London Bridge . These trains will stop at East Croydon and Clapham Junction stations on both the up and down journeys . Passengers who may miss the special trains will be allowed to travel by the ordinary trains leaving Victoria at 11-40 a . m . and 1-50 p . m ., and London

Bridge at 2 p . m . A limited number of passes for the trains leaving Victoria at 3-50 and London Bridge at 4 p . m ., will be allowed . Application for these must reach the Hon . Sec . before Saturday , 20 th June . The return tickets are available ( without extra charge ) by any ordinary train , pn Thursday and Friday , 25 th and 26 th June , and on payment of 2 s at the Booking Office at Brighton will be further extended to Saturday , Sunday , or Monday , 27 th , 28 th , and 29 th June , for those who may desire to remain .

The Committee has engaged the London Military Band to play on the Eastern Lawn , from 3 to 5-15 p . m ., and an Orchestral Band to play in the Dome from 5 o ' clock and during the dinner , and on the Eastern Lawn from 7 till 8-30 p . m . Brother John Sayers , of Brighton , has again undertaken the duties of caterer for the occasion , providing an excellent menu approved by the Committee . The dinner will be served in the Dome , to commence at 5-30 o'clock prompt .

In accordance with your instructions , the arrangements made include , for the Stewards fee , a dinner and railway first class ticket ( London to Brighton and return ) . It is proposed to send to each Steward , who will have paid his fee of £ 2 2 s , these tickets , with a request for the return of the railway ticket by 25 th June if not used .

Special attention is called to the fact that Ladies who qualify as Life-Governors may act as Stewards . The fee of £ 1 ls includes dinner and railway tickets . The price to be paid for Visitor's dinner tickets is : for Brethren , to include railway fare 25 s each , excluding railway fare 21 s each ; for Ladies , including railway fare 21 s each , excluding railway fare 15 s each .

The Committee being of opinion that on this special occasion the Ladies should have a pleasing memento of their visit , has resolved to give each a stoppered cut-glass bottle of scent . The Stewards' Badge selected is of Hall-marked Silver , Gilt and richly enamelled . The selection was made after inspection and careful consideration of thirteen patterns offered by five manufacturers , and your Committee feels that an exceptionally valuable jewel has been approved , and one peculiarly appropriate to the Chairman ' s Province .

The members of the Sussex Masonic Club will be pleased to see any Brethren at the Club , Regent House , 2 Church Street ( corner of New Road ) , on the day of the Festival . Letters or Parcels may be addressed to the Club , care of the Secretary Bro . A . J . Freeman . The Committee of the Smugglers' Club ( Arches Nos . 130 and 131 , situated on the under King ' s Road , nearly opposite the " Alhambra ) , " have kindl y elected the Stewards of the Festival as Honorary Members for the day .

THE Annual Atheletic Sports of the Boys in the School at Wood Green will take place to-day ( Saturday ) , at Kempton Park , where they have kindly been invited by Bro . Geo . Everett P . G . Treas . Vice-Patron of the Institution , and one of its most enthusiastic supporters . A special train for the conveyance of the Boys , the Board of

The Boys School.

Another special will leave Waterloo ( No . 8 platform ) at 12-45 p . m ., by both of which reduced fares will be charged to . holders of invitation tickets , which may be obtained of the Secretary of the Institution , at Freemasons' Hall .

The Sports will commence at 2-30 p . m ., and dancing , in the Pavilion , at 6-30 , the provision of refreshments being entrusted to Messrs . Bertram and Co . We hope the day will prove a fine one , in which case we have every reason to anticipate a most enjoyable gathering .

A special meeting of the Lewisham Lodge of Instruction , No . 2579 , will be held on Tuesday , 16 th inst ., at the Parish Hall , Ladywell , when the chair will be taken by Bro . Christopher Sims W . M . 2579 P . M . 1208 and 861 , & c , P . Z . 1381 , & c , P . M . M . 223 , assisted by the Officers of the Lewisham Lodge ; on which

occasion the symbols of the Craft Degrees m Ancient Freemasonry , and subjects relating to present-day working , with many interesting diagrams , showing the connection of our whole system and the relative dependency of its several parts , will be illustrated with lime-light diagrams by Bro . Walter Clement

Tyler S . D . 862 I . G . 25791567 , & c , and their meanings expounded by Bro . Charles L . Nelson W . M .-elect 1702 D . C . 781 , & c .

The Broxbourne Lodge , No . 2353 , will hold an emergency meeting to-day ( Saturday ) , the gathering taking place at the Bed Lion , High Barnet , of which house Bro . F . Voller has recently become the proprietor and is making such radical improvements as promise to place the establishment in the position it occupied

in the " good old coaching days , ' when it was certainly the most important hostelrie within twenty miles of London on the great north road . We believe Bro . Voller contemplates many alterations and improvements , and , in view of the splendid position of the house , we feel his energy and liberality will secure their due reward .

We understand that the Eev . Sydney H . Fleming , Vicar of St . James ' , Croydon , contemplates joining the Craft , and will probably be initiated in the Bedford Lodge , No . 157 , at Freemasons' Hall , at the next meeting of that Lodge in the autumn , by Bro . Layton A . Richardson I . P . M . It is pretty widely known

that the Eev . S . H .
