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 .
