Royal Masonic Institution For Girls.

ROYAL MASONIC INSTITUTION FOR GIRLS .

DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZES , & o . THE usual visit of the Stewards of the year to tho Sohool afc Battersea Rise took place on Monday , 19 th inst ., and although it must have been a great disappointment to all concerned that H . R . H . Price Leopold was unable to attend , we think nothing further occurred throughout the day to mar the pleasure either of the guests or the

pupils . It seems to be proverbial that our Girls enjoy excellent wea . ther on any of the days which are set apart for their entertainment , and Monday , so far from being an exception , was everything that could be desired . In the unavoidable absence of Prince Leopold , the Rt . Hon . the Lord Mayor undertook the work of distributing the prizes ,

he was accompanied by tho Lady Mayoress , and among those present were Sir John B . Monckton ( Town Clerk of London ) P . B . G . P ., Lieufc .-Col . Shadwell H . Clerke G . Secretary , R . W . H . Giddy District G . M . Griqualand , the various members of the House Committee , and numerous brethren and ladies . The time at his lordship ' s

disposal being only about an hour , the afternoon ' s programme had to be re-arranged , in order that the successful students might receive their honours from his hands . Accordingly , after a rehearsal of the Calisthenio Exercises and a recitation—Selection from the Trial Scene , Merchant of Venice , —given by Lillian Mills , Fannv Ashby ,

Edith Wilson , Alice Wiseman , Florence Faithfull and Helena Meacock , —the Lord Mayor proceeded to distribute the various prizes , of which a full list is given below . Heading the list of prize-winners was Helena Meacock , who , commencing with the gold medal and £ 5 for proficiency , also carried off the premiums for passing in honours the

Cambridge examination , and for French , in which tongue she afterwards fluently recited a long piece from La Fontaine . Another girl , E . Ida M . Seaton , gained the silver medal and £ 5 , and also the prize given by the Supreme Grand Council of the thirty-third degree for good conduct . Frances E . Gardner was much applauded on com . iDg up to receive -the reward for passing the Senior Cambridge

examination . At the conclusion of the presentations , the Lord Mayor addressed a few ¦ words to the company , remarking that in the internal condition and arrangements of the house , the neat , healthy and happy appearance of tho inmates , and the satisfactory manner in which they had acquitted themselves in their various studies , thero was ample proof that the Institution wa 3 conducted in the interests alike of the
