the anticipations which havo been formed by tho Craft generally , that tho infusion of now blood into the Committees will work wonders in the administration of affairs . Tho saying , " that thero is as good fish in the sea as was over drawn from it , " is a truism , and doubtless those members , whoso qualifications are now on tho minor will speedily increase them to the major scalo , and so evince their good
feeling towards tho Institution , in favour of which thoir services havo been placed at the General Committee's disposal . I tako it for granted that each brother nominated was dnly qualified to becomo a candidate , and that the selection by tho General Committee was not confined to these who either possessed a multiple of votes or had served an excess of Stewardships . If this latter view prevailed , tho
Special Committees might bo composed of brethren whose arrangements might possibly be of such a nature as to preclude them from keeping the many appointments which would follow their election , but if both a readiness to givo , and a willingnoss to rigidly peiform the duties pertaining to the coveted office bo united in the same
candidate , the possessor should be welcomed as an acquisition to the Board . On tho other hand , I am bound to concede that it is only reasonable to expect that thoso members , by whoso contributions the Institution has been greatly enriched , should feel an anxiety in its internal management , and also a jealousy at tho olovatiou of such as have been moro chary of their donations . yours fraternally , L .

"WHICH IS CORRECT ?"
To the Editor of the FREEMASON ' S CHRONICLE . DEAR SIR AND BROTHER , —As to whioh is correct whothor Masons meet on the level and part on tho square , I consider thero can bo very littlo doubt . When wo meet in Lodgo wo do so on a lovol of equality , as in tho Lodge wo aro all on a iovel as brethron , no
matter what rank or distinction in lifo wo may hold ; but thero I opine tho level or equality ends , for though wo arc still brethren , the G . A . O . T . U . has assigned to each of us a dificrent station in life , therefore I say the level ou which wo meet within tho Lodgo terminates at its close . But wo can all , no matter who or what we are ,
part on . tho squaro , that is to say , with the full determination of acting towards one another on tho square , doiug as we would bo done by , a maxim I think no ono will dispute holds good on all occasions , and is a duty incumbent upon all to observe . Apologisiug for troubling you with my ideas ou this point , I remain , yours fraternally , F . K . S ., P . M . AND P . Z .
HOSPITAL LIIUIAUIKS
To the Editor of the FREEMASON ' CHRONICLE . SIR , —I think every ono who has ever been in a hospital ward will agree with me that hardly a greater boon could bo conforred on the suffering inmates than tho establishment of a lending- library for their use . The gift of a little book to some suffering ouo has often induced a look of gratitude that has lived iu our memory for days
afterwards , aud it appears to me that tho establishment of a series of permanent libraries in our London hospitals should bo an easy and a pleasant duty . I will give , as a first donoation , a hundred volumes of my own publications , and I have no doubt the London publishers will respond most liberally from thoir wealth of literature ; but my object in writing is to ask thoso of your readers who havo readable books , for which thoy havo no further use , to send them to moand
, so form tho nucleus of a system that will , I trust , becomo prodigious in its proportions . Thoso who cannot send books will perhaps holp us in pecuniary donations towards the sanio object , and I shall be happy to receive and acknowledge all such . I shall bo glad if donors will kindly send all parcels to my address , carriage paid , advising me by post-card of their despatch . Cheques and P . O . O . should be crossed London and County Bank .
Yours very truly , F . E . LO . VGLEY 39 Warwick Lane , London , E . C .

Royal Masonic Institution For Boys.
ROYAL MASONIC INSTITUTION FOR BOYS .
IT might havo been thought that tho annual distribution of prizes announced for Wednesday would be interesting only to the boys entitled to reccivo the rewards of merit , provided either by tho Institution , tho House Committee , or private donors , and awarded by the Examiners ; but on glancing at the programme of tho day , it was evident that tho Masters and Boys had determined to try if they could not entertain thoso who should favour tho School with
their company on tho occasion , and right well they succeeded . Lovers of choral music need wish for nothing sweeter than the rendering of Pinsnti's "Spring Song , " Lemmen ' s "Drops of Rain , " or Barnby ' s " Sweet and Low , " which formed part of the contributions of the choir ; admirers of three-part songs must havo been delighted with the trios by Swallow , Steddy , and Allinson ; the first
named also very effectively singing as a solo " Roaming at the break of day , " and , with Steddy , fairly enchanting the company by Sullivan's duofc " Sweethearts . " Tho pianoforte playing of Stansfield , Carter , and Dnnaway elicited hearty applause , and the instrumental band discoursed sweet music to willing listeners . The greatest interest seemed , however , to bo evinced in the desiro to see how
" Our Boys would acquit themselves on the stage , and here again a most unqualified success must bo recorded . We do not know whether P . Heavisido or H . J . Wellington aspire to becoming the Charles Matthews or the Toole of the future , but wo may well doubt if either of those artistes could have displayed greater dramatic talent at so early an age . As Mr . Tittums in MaddiBon Morton ' s
" Steeplechase , " and in tho part of Tim Bolus in Williams ' s well known farce "My turn next , " P . Heaviside kept the audience in ono continual roar of laughter . Ho was admirably supported by H . J . Wellington in the respective parts of Dr . Clipper and Farmer Wheatear . Special reference is also due to J . Hazeland for a capital make up and excellent conception as Alderman
Slowcoach and Mr . Taraxacum Twitters , and if we do not alludo individually to tho efforts of the remaining characters , it is only because the demands upon our space prevent us saying more than that all did well . We heartily congratulate Dr . Morris and his assistants on this signal proof that almost
unprecedented success in educational work—as evidenced by the result of tho last Cambridge Local Examination—is not incompatible with the development of more than ordinary powers of mutual entertainment . Tho effects of so pleasant a reunion must be to stimulate the boys to increased exertions , and cannot be lost upon the visitors , but
