The Girls' School—Analysis Of The Lists.
The Baron de Ferrieres , whose presence at many of our moro prominent gatherings of late has shoAvn his zoal for Masonry , has , by his own personal effort , brought up no less than £ 99 15 s , whilst Colonel H . Basevi , representing the Province , Avas prepared Avith a list hearing a total of £ 64 ls . Tho Cotteswold Lodge , No . 592 , Cirencester , enabled Bro .
John Hydo to be the bearer of £ 53 lis ; the Sympathy , No . 855 , Wotton-under-Edge , proved its claim to the title by subscribing £ 43 ls to Bro . F . J . Blake ' s list ; and the Royal Forest of Dean Lodge , No . 1067 , Newnham-on-Severn , entrusted to Bro . R . J . Kerr the sum of £ 52 lis .
East Lancashire , whose herculean effort for the Benevolent Institution last February filled us all Avith such pride and pleasure , has , in spite of the noble subscription of nearly four thousand pounds to the " Old People , " nearly quadrupled its last year ' s quota to the Girls' School , the
amount being set down at £ 285 ls . Of this Bro . C . F . Matier , on behalf of the Province , brought up £ 222 ls ; and Captain H . A . Bennett , representing the Friendship No . 44 , and Social , No . 62 , Lodges of Manchester , brought up the total by a list of £ 63 . Durham , whom we had not
the pleasure of noticing last year , comes fonvard in the person of Bro . C . S . Lane , of the Harbour of Refuge Lodge , No . 764 , of West Hartlepool , and although he alone
appears out of the twenty-five Lodges in the Province , he is down for the very commendable figure of £ 277 17 s . That Bro . Lane could have done so much , single-handed , should be an incentive to the remainder of the brethren to
follow so excellent an example . The county of Somerset has been uniformly generous , as wo lately took occasion to point out ; and although the list is this year slightly below that of 1878 , yet £ 247 16 s ia a very fair sum for a Province which has held its own so well in days gone by . The
Lodges seem to have subscribed to one list only , and Bro . General H . E . Doherty , C . B ., as SteAvard for the Province , was thus enabled to put in a very respectable appearance . The adjoining county of Devon—land of cider , clotted cream , and apple dumplings—comes next in orderwith
, £ 242 Is , against a trifle less than £ 30 last year . This can hardly be regarded as a satisfactory return for the second largest county in England , containing such centres as the city of Exeter , and toAvns of Plymouth , Torquay , Newton Abbott , & c , comprising no less than 47 Lodges .
However , Ave recollect good deeds in the past by our Devonian brethren , in aid of the various Institutions , and congratulate them upon the improvement they have evidenced this year in favour of the Girls' School . The same remarks apply to Sussex , whose list of less than £ 30
last year has been multiplied to £ 232 ls this . Though only three out of its twenty Lodges are represented , yet the amounts are good , Bro . Gerard Ford , of the Royal Clarence , No . 271 , Brighton , bringing up £ 90 6 s ; Bro . S . Solomon , of the Panmure , No . 723 , Aldershot , £ 65 2 s ; and
J-ro . breo . de Pans , of the Yarborough , No . 811 , Brighton , £ 76 13 s . Cheshire seldom misses the opportunity of showing her due desire to help forward the Avork of charity ; and this year sends nearly a hundred pounds more than last , the total of the list from this Province being £ 232 Is . No fewer than seven Stewards united to
represent tho St . John ' s Lodge , No . 104 , of Stockport , and their combined efforts resulted in the collection of £ 126 . The Mersey Lodge , No . 477 , of Birkenhead , through its _ SteAvards ( Bros . John Dutton and W . Bennett ) subscribed £ 78 15 s ; Avhilst the Zetland Lodge , No . 537 , Birkenhead .
placed £ 75 12 s in the hands of Bro . J . P . Platfc . There is a list yet to come in from the Warren Lodge , No . 1276 , Liscard , and which will augment the already satisfactory return from the county famed for its excellent cheeses . The Province of Berks and Bucks—if it is still fair to couple the
tAvo counties together , and aAvard both credit for what one does—is always somewhere in the list , though this time for a small sum—not a fourth of Avhafc ifc Avas last year . The reason for this is not far to seek , for it is Avell knoAvn that our Berkshire brethren have always to fisrht the battle
single-handed and Avithout assistance from Bucks . There are seventeen Lodges in the two counties presided over b y Sir D . Gooch , Bart ., M . P ., but of these only three are represented , and their numbers are repeated on every occasion . We refer to the Loyal Berkshire Loctee of Hone .
No . 574 , of Newbury , and the Windsor Castle Lodge , No . 771 , the former of which , through Bro . Stephen Knight , sends £ 21 10 s 6 d , and the latter , per Bro . W . V . Brown , has a list yet to come in , and the amount of which could not of course be stated at the Festival . In addition to these , the Etonian Lodge , No . 209 , of Windsor , has this

year come forward , through Bro . R . Roberts , with £ 29 8 s ; we can only express a hope that more earnest and united effort , Avith a display of more brotherly fooling betAveen the two sections of the Province , may result in a decidedly improved list in the future . Herts , represented
by four out of its eleven Lodges , contributes £ 144 2 s , just the amount within a shilling they sent to the Benevolent Institution last February . More than a moiety of this sum is brought up by Bro . F . Venables , of the Gladsmuir Lodge , No . 1385 , of Barnet , and Ave notice—under the
•• Miscellaneous" head—tho list of another of its members , £ 63 . Bro . Morgan only decided on acting as Steward three days before the Festival , and consequently had no time to consult his Lodge . Bro . J . Tydeman , of the King Harold Lodge , No . 1327 , of Waltham NeAV-toAvn , has a list
of £ 54 12 s . The other two Lodges were the Halsoy , of St . Albans , represented by Bro . Isaac N . EdAvards—who by-the-byo has earned for himself on this , as on a previous occasion , the Irishman ' s compliment for bringing up the smallest list—and the King Henry VIII ., Heme !
Hempstead . We are g lad to see tho Province of Worcester figuring on the Girls' list—for the first time—at all events during the existence of this journal . The county seems to have persistently abstained from recognising the important duty of helping fonvard
any of our Charities of late years ; but as ^ we ventured to hope , on the advent of a new and active Prov . Grand Master , Sir E . A . H . Lechmere , Bart ., a more hopeful state of things has set in . The first sign of renewed life was manifested at the Benevolent Festival , when ifc
sent up the modest sum of forty guineas . This , hoAvever , has happily begotten further efforts , and Bro . Hedges will have been very thankful to receive the substantial sum of £ 141 15 s , as an earnest of better things in store . The Welsh Provinces remain also in statu quo , so far as the
amounts sent in go , though relatively there is a difference in the charitable barometer of each compared with last year . The Eastern division of South Wales has rather cooled in its interest in the Girls' School , the Province entrusting to the hands of Bro . Phillips a hundred guineas ,
as against the £ 117 12 s brought up by Bro . Tennant in 1878 , whilst the Western division , so lavish in its generosity last year , is not in the list at all . On the other hand , North Wales , Avith Salop , has advanced from a ten guineas subscription to a very comfortable £ 66 3 s , Avhich is
brought up by Bro . Ephraim Wood from the Province , and which we may expect to find augmented Avhen the list promised by Bro . Thomas Coxhead , of the Caradoc Lodgo , No . 1674 , Rhyl , comes in . Hants and the Isle of Wight seldom fail to make a shoAv , and although their contribution
to the Girls' School is a trifle beloAV that of last year , yet we must not forget that the Province has lately sent a substantial help to Bro . Terry , and that on nearly all occasions it has been Avell to the fore . Four only out of the thirty Lodges are represented , and three of these make up
a total of £ 99 15 s 6 d . Of this sum Bro . A . Barfield , of the Medina Lodge , No . 35 , CoAves , brought up £ 47 5 s ; Bro . J . R . Hayman , of the Phcenix , No . _ 57 , Portsmouth , £ 10 10 s 6 d ; and Bro . Richard Eve , of the Panmure , Aldershot , forty guineas , in addition to Bro . Solomon ' s
Sussex contribution for the same Lodge of £ 65 2 s . Besides these sums , there is a list still to come in , and we trust Bro . Edwin Izod , of the United Brother- ; , No . 1069 , Southsea , may be as successful as he himself could Avish to be . Five out of the nine Oxfordshire Lodges
appear on the list Avith a total of £ 96 12 s , being about £ 50 less than last year ; whilst Derby and Monmouthshire eacTi contribute £ 63 , both manifesting a decided improve-niDub upon former efforts . Suffolk has only been absent at one of the last fourteen Festivals , and although the amount
