Havieg completed tho presentations , the Chairman proceeded to address a few words to the pupils , and the company assembled . He was sure all the visitors present would wish him to express their acknowledgments to the managers of the School for the entertainment given by the pupils . He expressed great satisfaction at what he had heard and seen ; both had given him a great amount of
pleasure ; he thought from the way in which the audience had welcomed the several selections that they also were satisfied . He was much struck with tho quiet modesty and good taste displayed by the children who had given the recitations , and was especially pleased that one of the prize winners for elocution came from hia own Province of Gloucestershire . As regarded the children
themselves—to those who had won prizes he would give a caution , nofc to bo led thereby to think by this success the chief object in life was already gained . Thafc was not so ; life was still before them , and they had still to press on , and must only look afc this success , as an encouragement for further effort . The unsuccessful would learn from thoir failure that there vvero ups and downs in life , and must still persevere , remembering the maxim that patience and
perseverance conquer all things . After a vote of thanks to the Chairman , the company proceeded to the refreshment rooms , where tea awaited them , which concluded , another move was made to the large school room , whero the pupils went through their calisthenio I'xerciso in the usual admirable manner which characterises this part of tho day ' s programme . The singing of the National Anthem brought the programme to a conclusion , tho pupils and visitors passing the remainder of the evening in dancing .

THE FESTIVAL .
THB Ninety-Third Anniversary Festival in connection with the Girls' School was held on Wednesday , afc Freemasons' Tavern , London , under the Presidency of the Right Hon . Sir Michael E . Hicks-Beach , Barfc ., M . P ., Provincial Grand Master for Gloucestershire . The meeting was very well attended , and , as will be seen from the figures given below , may be pronounced a grand success . The banquet was well served by Bro . A . Best , proprietor of the tavern ,
who personally superintended , assisted by Bro . E . Dawkins . At the conclusion of tho banquet , and after grace had been sang , the Chairman gave the usual toasts . In proposing that of the Queen , he said nothing could bo more unmasonic than for brethren to arrogate to themselves the exclusive possession of any virtue , but he would venture to say that among all the inhabitants of Her Majesty's dominions
there were no more loyal subjects than the members of our Order We revere the Queen , as the best of constitutional Sovereigns ; we admire the pnrity of her life , as a wife and a mother ; but , above all , on such an occasion as this , when we have met to advocate the claims of one of onr great Charities , do we remember thafc which is Her
Majesty ' s distinguishing characteristic—viz ., her true womanly sympathy with all thafc is poorest in her realms . The toast was well received , and honoured in the usual form . The health of H . R . H . the Prince of Wales , the Princess of Wales , and the rest of the Royal Family was next given . The chairman felt thafc the geniality of the Prince of Wales added not a little to the warmth of the
loyalty with which Freemasons would naturally regard the Heir to the Throne and the Grand Master of their Order . The grace of the Princess of Wales was proverbial , nor must they forget the kindness of both their Royal Hi ghnesses , nor the interest which they had shewn in the Institution honoured that evening . Part of the building had , by permission of Her Royal Highness , been named the Alexandra
Wing , and ho felt that was but a proof of the interest which she took in its welfare . With regard to other members of the Royal Famil y , no one in tbe room was likely to forget the efficient and able manner in which Prince Leopold , only a year ago , was good enough to plead for the Institntion . The result was a success , perhaps far beyond what the beat friends of the School could have anticipated ,
and ifc would be long before they could forget the action of his Royal Highness . The next toast — that of the Pro G . il ., the Deputy G . M ., and the rest of the Grand Officers present and past—was , the Chairman said , of a very comprehensive character . He was sure that in tho presence of so many brethren who had experienced the advantage which the Craft had derived from the
wise counsels and high abilities of the Earl of Carnarvon , he need aay nothing to recommend the Pro Grand Master . Lord Lathom , the Deputy Grand Master , is popular in his great Province , the home of so many members of the Craft , and popular wherever his genial presence was known throughout the country .
