The Approaching School Elections.
havo proved that their families had greater need of the monev than they of the enjoyment afforded by association with the Craft . To proceed with our task . As we have already said , there „ ,. _ twenty-eight candidates , six of whom are " last
application " cases , four of the number appearing now tor tho first time . Of the remaining two , Elizabeth Minnie Parker , No . 1 on the list , one of five fatherless children , comes forward for the sixth time , with ninety-two votes to her credit—wc may say this is about the only item creditable to the case . of
We suppose she has no better prospect success on the present occasion than has characterised her previous efforts . Her father was a member of Lodge No . 441 , » Three Grand Principles , " of Cambridgeshire , and we suppose the members thereof have an answer ready to account
for their failing to act up to what this name teaches , or is this another instance of the want of sympathy with our Institutions exhibited by tbe Province ? There can be no excuse for any candidate being placed in such a position as this one occupies , as brethren have no right to raise false
hopes in the minds of a widow by lending their names to a case they do not intend to support . No . 3 , Emily Deacon , at three previous elections has polled 314 votes , and is one of seven dependent children , whose father is insane . The Province of Essex , from which the case emanates , has also
another " last application' case , but we can hardl y imagine the brethren thereof allowing either to fail , if any effort on their part can prevent it . The other case they have in hand is that of S . H . M . Tippler , No . 13 , first application , whose father could boast of 31 years membership of the
Order , he having been initiated as far back as 1848 . Doubtless he became well-known in the Province during that time , and we hope it will now be possible to do something for one or other of the three parentless children he has left dependent . The other three "last" cases are
London ones , viz .: Nos . 15 , 21 , 24—E . M . Penny , M . J . March , and L . M . Anscombe . Of these , undoubtedly the one calling for most support is No . 21 , the lass is one of ten children , now dependent , whose father is insane . We have for many years known
Bro . March , and if we may be allowed to say a word or two in favour of his child , we do so feeling assured that the case is one of the most deserving on the list , and that no brother need have any fear of doing wrong in supporting it . No . 24 is one of five fatherless
children , while No . 15 is one of two similarly placed . Having thus disposed of the last application cases , we will address ourselves to a consideration of the others . First of these , as regards votes in hand , comes No . 10 ( L . Williamson ) , one of seven children , of whom two are
partly provided for . The father , who died in 1878 , was a member of 935 , an East Lancashire Lodge . At the last election her friends polled 532 votes in her favour . We have little doubt but that they will secure her election this April . No . 9 ( A . A . Allison ) , one of three dependent
children , has a brother in the Boys' School . She brings forward 364 votes from October , and we imagine will secure election on this or next occasion . E . M . A . Townsend , a Suffolk lass , has 305 votes to her credit . Her case is one that will doubtless receive the support of the brethren of
her late father ' s Province , she being one of eight children now dependent . Edith Brown , No . 2—sixth applicationhas only 93 votes to her credit , but we imagine her claims will not be overlooked by the Devonshire brethren , that being the Province to which her father is accredited . She
is one of eight children now dependent on her parents , both of whom are living . A . H . Nicholls , No . 5 , also has a brother in the Boys' School , and she comes forward for the third time , with seventy-seven votes to the good . Her mother is still living , and has this child and three
others to provide for . No . 8 , A . E . Turner , second application , has nine votes from last election , and No . 4 , M . McKinney but eight , from two trials . Each of the girls are members of families left fatherless , and in each case there are three children dependent on the widow . No . G
( M- J . C . Fry ) has appeared in the list on the last two occasions , but at present no votes have been recorded on her behalf . This does not , however , prove , that the child 's quite forsaken , as it is well known the Committee of
the Provi nce to which her father belonged—Hants and e . ° ' ° Wi ght—organise their voting powers so thoroughly as ' Virtuall y to monopolise every vote in their district , and when the time conies they are able to poll sufficient on on- ! occasion to make up for the apparent neglect at previous elections No . 7 ( M . L . Gane ) , from Wilts , shared a similar

fate—so far as result is concerned—at the last October election . The remaining thirteen cases are all first application ones , and we do not know that we can say anything particular in reference to them , except that in the case of No . 27 , G . B . Balch , who is one
of five children , both parents aro dead , and that consequently the children are entirely dependent on the charity of all but strangers . Every voter has at his command as much information as regards these candidates as we havethat jjiven in the official list ; and if there are any who
consider this far from sufficient—as we do—the remedy is in their own hands . The experience of the past few months has been sufficient to warrant an alteration in this respect , and we can hardly imagine , but that something will shortly be done to remedy what we look upon as a grave omission .
Since writing the . above we have taken upon ourselves the task of making further enquiries into the position of some of tho candidates , and although the particulars wo have been able to obtain aro very meagre , there is one case regarding which , we think , some explanation is due . Wo
refer to that of E . M . Penny , No . 15 on the list , who is described as being one of two children dependent on their mother , who , by her petition admits of boing in receipt of £ 50 a-year on behalf of herself and these two children . This statement was made early last year , at which timo
tho personal effects of the late Bro . Penny were sworn to as being under £ 1 , 500 , This amount has , however , been amended , and at the present time the Register at the Probate Department of Somerset House gives the amount as
being under £ 3 , 000 , the alteration having been sworn to in February of the present year . There is one question we should like to have answered , does this alteration in any way affect the income of the widow or her children ? We also
deem it desirable a full statement of the position of the girl seeking admission to our School should be submitted to the voters before the election , as it is pretty evident that she is personally entitled to some share of her parent ' s property , no matter whether it is payable now or on her attaining her
majority . We shall continue onr search for further particulars , and may refer again to the subject before the election . We may add that the other child dependent on the widow is a lad of 17 , and that there are four other children in the
family , all of whom have attained the age of 21 years . If any of our readers can put us in the way of obtaining further details we shall be obliged to them . The deceased left no will , and consequently letters of administration have been applied for and granted .

THIS will be found a necessary companion to every one who takes an interest , be it active or passive , in the game of cricket . We do not know that it contains a larger or more varied array ol matter than ifc did last year . That , however , is owing to the fact that it had already attained to such perfection of accuracy , and was so filled with all requisite details , that the editor would have been puzzled
to enlarge or improve upon his programme of contents . The leading articles are worthy of the writers whose names are appended to them severally . Mr . V . E . Walker ' s diagrams , showing tbe positions of the men in the field to suit various kinds of bowling , will be found of great service , and there is an ample array of information , statistical and otherwise , such as must have taxed the patience of those concerned to bring together , and will certainly be of tho greatest interest
to both professionals and amateurs . The Batting and Bowling particulars of the different Clnbs and Schools , together with tho Laws of Cricket and the Fixtures for tho season of 1881 , are also famished . We must offer the editor our hearty congratulations on the admirable manner in which he has fulfilled his arduous duties , as well as on the excellence of the matter he aud his coadjutors have contributed or collated .
An entertainment of a highly satisfactory character was given on tho 11 th inst ., at Lusby ' s Mnsic Hall , Mile End-road , in aid of the funds of the Metropolitan Police Orphanage . Bros . Crowder and Payne , tlie spirited proprietors of this favourite resort , had provided an array of talent which could not fail to meet with tho approbation of the thousands who flocked to their popular establishment . At tho
close of the entertainment , a large number of the Inspectors and other officers aud their wives partook of refreshment in one of the salles which this commodious establishment affords . Several toasts were proposed and heartily received . The Ch-iirman , in oivin" the health of the hosts , Messrs . Crowder and Payne , announced ° that those gentlemen had given a donation of £ 25 to the Orphanage I-dudiug this sum , tho receipts of the concert wero about £ 80 .
