EOYAL MASONIO INSTITUTION FOR BOYS . To the Editor of the FKEKMASON ' S CHKONICLE . DEAK SIK AND BROTHER— Bro . Binckes states : "In tho vaunted result of the Cambridge Examination of last December , I fail lo find any pass in Honours . " The fact is that nix Honour Classes were obtained , while the

numbers for 188 D , 1888 , 1887 , were 4 , 6 , and 8 , respectively . As regards Passes , those three years show a Total of 20 , while this single examination has produced 17 , " a marked contrast to previous results , " as Bro . Binckes truly says . Details of these Examinations are to be found on page 63 of the

" Annual Report und Statement , published by Bro . Binckes himself , who , by the way has totalled , on the same page , the number of certificates gained as 394 . This is only a hundred too many ! Bro . Binckes is not so strong in arithmetic as be is in denunciation . I am , yours fraternally , AN OLO STEWARD .

Accordingly , the Lodge has since , in common with tho rest of the Province of Bristol , endeavoured to help the Provincial Charity Steward to take np a handsome sum to the next Festival of the Boys' School . Permit me , therefore , to
