Amid much applanse he notified that the Lady Mayoress intended to offer a prize for the next anniversary ; and as a Lord Mayor was not to be outdone by any one , not even by hia wife , he too would give a prize , the nature of which the Committeo would perhaps decide npon .

Sir J . B . Monckton , in a few well chosen words , expressed his approval of the way in which the School was conducted , and more especially referred to the successful resnlt of the educational branch under the direction of Miss Davis . This part of tho programme being now completed , the guests partook of tea , and after a short interval reassembled in the large schoolroom , where the pupils went throngh

their calisthenio and marching exercises , which part of the entertain , tainmenfc usually calls forth hearty expressions of approval from thoso present . On this occasion "Our Girls" went through thoir drill to perfection , and as a reward , if any is expected , we heard one or two brethren express their intention to act as Stewards next year ; for , as we heard ono say , such an Institution should never be allowed to vr & nt either suyspcvtosvs or fuwi . 9 .

The Approaching Visit To Truro Of H.R.H. The Grand Master.

THE APPROACHING VISIT TO TRURO OF H . R . H . THE GRAND MASTER .

IT is well known throughout tho Craft that His Royal Highness the Princ" of Wales , owing to tho multiplicity of his engagement ? , is unable to play hia part in Freemasonry on very frequent occas i ons . Twice only since his installation at tho Royal Albert Hall has ho found opportunity to take part in the proceedings of Grand Lodge , while his appearance in the Provinces has been almost equally rare .

Wo are aware theso occasional appearances are very far from representing the sum total of his Masonio duties . Ho is , we are given to understand , most assiduous in tho attontion ho gives to all that affects the true interests of Freemasonry . His is no mei-e perfunctory discharge of routine work , and though there is no brother who does not wish that time permitted him more frequently to appear in our

midst , we aro also mindful of the demands that are continually being made upou him ; demands , whioh , with the utmost regard to economy of time , it must be exceedingly difficult for him to satisfy . Under these circumstances , it is only natural that the brethren of a Province whioh is as fortunately circumstanced as Norfolk wa 3 some time since , and Cornwall will bo a brief month or two hence , should

look forward with interest and pleasure to welcome him among them , especially when ho visits them for the performance of ono of those > graceful acts of duty whioh become him so well as Grand Master of the Society of Ancient , Free , and Accepted Masons of England . No doubt the installation of a Provincial Masonio Chief is one of the most important functions of a Grand Master , but it is necessarily a purely

Masonic ceremony . The laying the foundation stone of a new building is also a most important and impressive ceremony , aud one moreover which has the supreme advantage of bringing our society into contact with the outer world . What is clone is done publicly , and there is this further point to be noted , that it evidences the interest which Freemasonry takes in the daily concerns of life . It shows

that it is not wholly wrapt np in itself . It proves , too , that , for all its secrecy , it has no fear of meeting the world in the bright light of open day . Again , it is only reasonable to note that this particular form of Masonio celebration exhibits more than anything else the undoubted connection between the speculative Freemasonry of to-day and the operative Freemasonry of the past . Moreover , in this particular

instance to which we shall presently refer , to which , indeed , those few remarks are due , there is a certain propriety in the Grand Mastor of Freemasons , or any officer appointed by him , playing the leading role . However much we may pride ourselves in on the non-sectarian character of Freemasonry , there is no doubt whatever of the assooia . tion that existed , in the middle ages and even earlier , between the

architects and skilled masons of those days and tho religions edifices they erected and watched over . Then , however , there were not a dozen or more sections and sub-sections of the Christian church . There wero no snch distinguishing terms as Roman Catholic , Anglican Catholic , Presbyterian , & o ., & c , and consequently this association between the priests and the architects may bo taken to imply that

tho latter were a body of men duly impressed with tho principles of religion . We still claim to bo actnatod by tho samo principles , though with the religions changes that have taken placo in the interim wo jnstlv leave it to the conscience of eaoh ono of onr brethren to worship the G . A . O . T . U . in tho manner whioh soomoth to him best . Thus , when the first stone of a religions edifice is laid with Masonio ceremonial ,

it may bo taken as a tribute of our rospcofc to old associations , not as having anything about it of a sectarian character , and this , no donbt , will bo found in accordance with tho view goncrally prevalent . Bnt to onr story . His Eoyal Highness the Grand Master , accompanied by H . R . H . the Princess of Wales , will in the course of next month pay a visit

to Cornwall for the purpose of laying the foundation stones of Truro Cathedral , the principal church of the new diocese recently formed out of that of Exeter . During their visit their Royal Highnesses will be the guests of Viscount Falmouth at Tregothnan , whence on tho morning of the 20 fch March , tho day fixed for the ceremonial , they will drive into Truro , arriving between 11 and 11 . 30 a . m . Grand

Lodge having been opened in ample form in a building chosen for the purpose , the Masonio procession will form an avenne thence towards tho Cathedral , and down this it i 3 expected the Princess will drive on her way to tho Cathedral inolosuve . The ceremony will be of a dual character , as there are two stones to be laid , one at the north-east corner of the building and the other to the westward . Consequently ,

there will be marked off two enclosures , one at each of the sites , and the general Masonio procession having advanced will pas 3 throngh that on the west to tho one at the north-east corner , in which seats will be assigned to all brethren except those Officers who accompany the Grand Master and assist him during the ceremony . The service having beon commenced in the western enclosnre , the Grand Master ,

his Officers , and the clergy will then move to the north-east , and the coraor stone will he laid . They will then retnrn to the west , and the western stone will be laid with similar formalities , and the whole service concluded . It may be as well to state that brethren desirous of taking part in tho ceremony miistobfcain tickets for the enclosnre , and these are to be had , at five shillings each , of the Prov . Grand Secretary ,

Bro . E . T . Carlyon , 7 Prinoss-street , Truro . The charge is unavoidable , as it will barely suffice to pay for tho erection of the seats . The tickets will be untransferable , and no brother will be permitted to enter the enclosure without one . It follows , therefore , that no Mason can take part in the ' procession unless provided with a ticket and

clothed m accordance with the instructions laid down thereon . The dres 3 will be black f rook coat and trousers , white tie and gloves , tall hat , and apron fastened outside the coat . It is recommended that all applications for tickets be made to Bro . Carlyon not later than the 30 tb inst . We hope the day will pass off in a manner satisfactory to all who take part in the proceedings .

We are compelled , in consequence of pressure of other matter , to hold over reports of tho meetings of Lodges 907 , 1306 , 1349 , & c , until our nest issue .
