Visit Of The G. Master To York.
VISIT OF THE G . MASTER TO YORK .
THE arrangements made to ensm-e tho success of the Masonic gathering at York , on Wednesday next , to our mind leave nothing to he desired . An experienced committee has been appointed to arrange all details , and this body acted wisely in securing the services of onr
esteemed Bro . T . B . Whytehead , who they have appointed their Chairman . All concerned have worked most zealously , and we anticipate the meeting will be more numerously attended than any previous Masonic assembly in the Provinces . The Grand Master will ascend the
throne at the Guildhall of York at 10 . 15 , when he will immediately proceed to open his Lodge . Previous to this , Provincial Grand Lodge will be opened , by the Prov . G . Master , the Earl of Zetland , at the Assembly Rooms .

CONTINUING our review of the recent Festival we now come to the Provinces . First and foremost on the present occasion , is Kent , the Grand Master of which district occupied the chair at the Festival itself . He was supported by forty-one members of his Province as Stewards , and they were instrumental in collecting £ 2 , 305 15 s 6 d . In March last the Province was
represented at the Benevolent Festival by four Stewards , three of whom took up £ 148 5 s , while in May , at the Girls , five of the six Kentish Stewards contributed £ 228 8 s , giving a total of £ 2 , 682 8 s 6 d sent up this year from Kent to the three Institutions . The principal list for the Boys was
that of Brother J . S . Eastes , the Deputy Provincial Grand Master , his total being £ 601 16 s , while six other Stewards reached three figure totals ; these were Brother Henry Bond , of the Acacia Lodge , No . 1314 , whose list amounted to £ 129 17 s 6 d ; Bro . W . Hollis , Chislehurst Lodge , No . 1531 , £ 121 16 s ; J . G . Henning , Union Lodge ,
No . 127 , £ 120 15 s Od ; F . W . Prescott , Peace and Harmony Lodge , No . 199 , £ 113 ; J . G . Chillingworth , Saye and Sele Lodge , No . 1973 , £ 110 5 s ; and Henry Mason , Pattison Lodge , [ No . 913 , £ 100 . Great praise is due , both
to these Stewards and the brethren who supported them , for the very handsome sum collected for this Festival , which exceeds by a considerable amount anything before realised from Kent , and has only been exceeded in two
instances by other Provinces during the past . / East Lancashire was represented by its Provincial Grand ¦ Master and by forty other Stewards , and between them they have collected £ 2 , 100 , a grand amount , and one which
will long rank among the foremost contributions to our Charities . In February last its donations to the Benevolent amounted to £ 212 Is 6 d , and in May £ 89 5 s was sent np to the Girlsgiving a total for the year of £ 2401 6 s 6 d .
, , West Yorkshire , on the present occasion , contributes £ 1 , 500 , which sum follows donations of £ 450 to the Benevolent and £ 400 to the Girls , and makes a total from the district of £ 2 , 350 during the current vear . The present
return is one of the grandest ever known in West Y orkshire , noted as it is for large amounts , the total having been exceeded only once , viz . in 188 J , when its con-

tributions amounted to £ 3 , 560 for the Benevolent Institution . Northumberland , not a very frequent attendant at the Festivals , comes nobly forward for the Boys this year with a total of £ 1 , 222 13 s , collected by its Grand
Secretary , Bro . B . J . Thompson . This is the first appearance of this district at the Charity Festivals of the present year , but the total now contributed goes far to make up for the absence of its members from the other two . We should ,
however , like to see a regular system of Stewardships inagurated in the Province , and hope now that so influential an official as the Provincial Grand Secretary has taken the matter in hand that something of the sort will follow .
Cumberland and Westmoreland , another northern Province , and one which is also very uncertain as regards representation , is to the front on the present occasion with
£ 1 , 050 , collected by a mosfc zealous worker for the Charities—Bro . George J . McKay . The Province was represented in May last , ' when the same Brother contributed twenty . five guineas towards the Girls' total .
North and East Yorkshire finishes up the Charity year with a donation of £ 873 7 s for " Our Boys , " which sum , together with £ 29 13 s sent to the Benevolent in February , and £ 15 15 s contributed to the Girls in May , gives a total for the year of £ 918 15 s . The principal list on the present
occasion is that of Bro . J . S . Cumberland , whose total of £ 541 16 s is a living example of what can be accomplished through perseverance . It is not very long since that North and East Yorkshire was all but unknown in connection with our Charities , now it is possible for one of its members
to collect no less a sum than £ 541 16 s for one of the Festivals , and to be supported by other brethren with a total of £ 331 lis , in addition , a change which does great credit X- * X .

Gloucestershire comes next , with £ 601 17 s . Ifc was represented at each of the preceding Festivals ; in February by six Stewards , and in May by two . Its
contributions this year have been £ 218 3 s , £ 36 15 s , and £ 601 17 s respectively , together £ 85115 s , very satisfactory figures , especially when it is remembered that support from the district is reerular .
Staffordshire contributed £ 460 9 s towards the Boys ' Festival , and this , together with £ 57 15 s sent up for the Benevolent , and £ 272 6 s contributed for the Girls' School ,
gives the very respectable total of £ 790 10 s for the year . The district is one of the most regular in its attendances , and with such sums as have lately been sent up is well deserving of congratulation .
Hampshire and the Isle of Wight , accredited with £ 375 5 s 6 d on the present occasion , had previously contributed £ 1 , 456 19 s , so that the district stands out well , with a total of £ 1 , 832 4 s 6 d for the year . Its
total in February was £ 149 16 s , and in May £ 1 , 307 3 s . On tbe latter occasion it will be remembered its Grand Master occupied the chair . The regularity and amount of the contributions from this district renders it one of the
most important in the country . Sussex figures this year for £ 364 17 s for the Boys , £ 210 for the Old People , and £ 363 6 s for the Girls , a
