HOMES FOR LITTLE BOYS .
To the Editor of the FREEMASON ' S CHRONICLE . DEAR SIR AND BROTHER , —At a special meeting of the Committee , held this day , it was resolved to express to the many friends and sub . scribers of the Institntion the very sincere regret whioh they feel at the disappointment caused on Saturday last by the postponement of the Swanley fete .
The Committee wish to assure their friends that this postponement was caused by circumstances entirely beyond their control , and that every preparation had been made for carrying out the ceremony in accordance with the printed programme . Early in the morning the site of the new Homes was visited by a heavy downfall of rain , snch as is seldom seen during the summer ;
and this continued for several hours . The consequence was thafc fche marquees erected for the ceremony were flooded , while the new road was rendered almost impassable . At the time it became necessary to decide what course to pursue the rain still continued ; and under all the circumstances , the members of the Committee who were present felt they had no
alternative but to postpone tbe ceremony . Telegrams were accordingly forwarded to the railway stations to stop the booking of passengers , and all was done that was possible to avoid inconvenience to those who intended to be present . The Committee feel bound to add to the above the statement con . tained in the Court news of to-day ' s papers , that it was " Owing to
the state of the weather that the Committee requested their Royal Highnesses to postpone the ceremony to a future day . " The Committe will announce at the earliest possible moment what steps they propose to adopt . A . 0 . CHARLES , Secretary . Offices—Ludgate Circus , July 17 th 1882 .
