The Approaching School Elections.
from that quarter being four . No . 2 * 2 , H . L . Laing , one of seven children relying on their mother , has made two previous attempts , ancl yot has but eight votes recorded in his favour : ifc is to be hoped thafc there is something better in store for him , as also for tho other Durham candidate , who
has been before the subscribers on a previous occasion . This lad , No . 48 , E . Farrar , and two other childen , aro dependent on thoir mother ; at tho April election no votes wero recorded on his behalf . No . 51 ., G . Wortlcy , and No . 71 , J . Humphrey , are each members of families of eight ; in thr > former case the mother , aud in the latter the father
being the surviving parent . Wc hope the brethren of Durham will make an effort to do something for each of their proteges , and at least secure the election of one . Devonshire , East Lancashire , ancl Warwickshire each sends threo candidates . One of those from Devon , No . 7 ,
we have noticed already . No . 11 , W . R . D . Foot , now comes forward for the fourth time , but at present has had no votes placed to his credit . He and one other child are left to the care of thoir mother . No . 26 , S . E . Loveridge , ono of four similarly circumstanced , has been more
successful , 324 votes standing to his credit from the two elections he has already figured in . Our Devonshire brethren have lately made a great stir on the question of charity , ancl we doubt not but that these candidates will each receive the support they deserve , and . which it is in
the power of the Province to afford them . East Lancashire heads the ballot paper with J . Reed , who is now put forward for the sixth time , with a total of twelve votes recorded on his behalf ; his mother is living , and there is a family of four dependent on her . Although the result
thus far looks peculiar , wo doubt not but that the brethren of the Province are doing what is right in the matter . No . 72 , A . T . Haworth , is one of five fatherless children ; the present is his first application . No . 60 , the other case from this district , has already been referred to . No . 33 ,
F . A . Clark , from Warwickshire , has stood one previous election , on which occasion 302 votes were recorded on his behalf . His mother was left a widow in 1875 , and has still nine children dependent on her . No . 38 , S . J . Crich , is one of a family—of whom two are still unprovided
forleft parentless , ho has taken a part in one previous election , on which occasion he had 280 votes recorded in his favour ; we hope that number may be sufficiently increased at the ensuing election to give him a placo on the list of successful boys . No . 49 , H . T . Burgess , has likewise stood one
election , then , however , no votes wero polled on his behalf ; his father is dead ; he ancl another child being dependent on the mother . Essex sends two candidates—No . 23 , R . L . Ibbs , AVIIO at two previous elections has secured fifty-nine votes—he is one of three fatherless children , ancl
No . 55 , H . L . Jordison , who now comes forward for the first time , he also is one of a family of three dependent on his mother . No . 19 , C . E . Webb , from Kent , has taken part in the last two elections , on which occasions forty-six votes have been polled for him ; his mother was left a widow
in 1879 , and has three children to provide for . No . 51 , W . J . Sisley , polled ten votes last April , his mother has six children dependent on her . Middlesex also sends two candidates , Nos . 41 ancl 43 , both of whose fathers are dead ; in the former case there are three , ancl in the latter six
children dependent . Each have stood one previous election when 44 and 167 votes were respectively accredited to them . Staffordshire puts forward Nos . 57 ancl 68 , both new cases , ancl each of them fatherless ; in the former
instance there are three , and in the latter five children left to the widow ' s care . One of the Surrey candidates ( No . 3 ) has already been referred to . No . 25 , W . R . Watson , now appears for the third time , with 107 votes to his credit ; he and two other children are left to the care of their mother .
North Wales ancl Salop is represented by Nos . 37 ancl 56 , W . J . Williams ancl C . P . Liversidge ; the former took part in tho April election , when ] 32 votes were polled for him , the latter is a first application case . In each instance the father is dead , the families now dependent on the
respective mothers being , in the one case two , ancl in the other nine . The Province of North and East Yorkshire puts forward Nos . 20 ancl 35 . The former ,
S . W . F . Richardson , has neither parent living , and is one of a family of six dependent on the charity of friends ; he has already taken part in two elections , on which occasions a total of 595 votes have been secured
on his behalf , we sincerely trust that at the next election he will receive such further help as will entitle him to the benefits of our School . No . 35 , W . Y . B . Jones , secured
The Approaching School Elections.
84 votes in April last * , lie ancl two others are dependent on their mother . No . 9 on the list , J . T . Goldsbrough , Dorset , has taken part in three previous elections , on which occasions 279 votes have been secured on his behalf ; both his parents are living , and they have five children
dependent on them . No . 12 , F . J . Neville , Cambridgeshire , after three previous attempts , has but 299 votes in hand ; he and three others aro left to the care of a widowed mother . No . 13 , R . W . Pratt , from Lincolnshire , appears to bo really without friends , for , after three attempts , ho
now goes to the poll without a vote to the good . It seems absurd to havo a candidate placed on the list if his or her case is to be left to take care of itself . Worcester sends No . 16 , H . W . Knott , who has 1 , 107 votes to the good , and we doubt not will secure a place in the School
at next election ; both his parents are alive , and there are eight children dependent on them . No . 21 , E . T . Ball , from the Western division of South Wales , after two attempts , brings forward 99 votes , there are three children dependent on the mother . No . 32 , C . S . V . Field , one of
nine fatherless children from the Count y of Bedfordshire , comes forward with 68 votes in hand from April last ; we hope better luck is in store for him . No . 39 , G . S . Hooker , Sussex , has 905 votes in hand , he having taken part in one previous election ; there are nine children dependent on
the mother . No . 53 , C . O . B . Jones , one of four parentless children , has but 84 votes to the good . We hope something will be done in his case to secure an early election . No . 61 ( W . B . Stanford , Norfolk ) , No . 62 ( F . R . Bladon , Berks and Bucks ) , ancl No . 66 ( C . W .
Thompson , Gloucestershire ) , are each first application cases , ancl each has lost his father . Bladon has a sister in the Girls' School , but there are still six children dependent on the mother . Guernsey sends No . 28 ( E . C . Lucas ) , who is one of five fatherless children ; on two previous attempts 155 votes have been polled for him .
Of the foreign cases , No . 5 , from Singapore , has already been referred to . The others are as follow : —No . 29 ( W . P . Gunnell , West Coast of Africa ) , who , after two attempts , has in hand 268 votes ; he is an only child , dependent on his mother . No . 30 ( W . L . Wilson ) , after
a like experience at previous elections , has but 195 votes to the good ; he is one of four fatherless children . No . 36 ( H . A . Ecclestone ) brings forward 509 votes from April ;
this case is accredited to Hong Kong . No . 44 ( J . J . W . Hurst , Cape Town ) polled 452 votes at the last election ; it would seem probable that his friends will eventually succeed in placing him in the School .
Having now brought our remarks to a conclusion , we have to thank the numerous brethren who on former occasions have placed their proxies at our disposal . We assure them if they will again entrust them to us we will distribute them , to the best of our ability , among the most deserving cases .

KINGS' ARMS , KEW GREEN .
ON Wednesday evening , a few friends of our esteemed Bro . Alfred Kent , late of the Moorgate Station Restaurant , assembled at his now hostelry , the Kings' Arms , Kew Green , to inaugurate his management of that establishment . A capital dinner was served , under the presidency of mine host , who was faced by Bro . Scales , W . M . of the Metropolitan Lodge , No . 1507 . After ample justice had been done
to the good things provided , the President gave the loyal toasts , which were fully hononred . Bro . Scales eloquently proposed the toast of the evening—the health of Bro . Kent—expressing a hope that his now undertaking -would prove successful . The proceedings were enlivened by some capital songs , and the time for departure stole
rapidly npon the gnests , many of whom had some considerable distance to travel ere they reached home . We are well acquainted with Bro . Kent , and sincerely trust his enterprise ancl energy will meet the reward they merit . We may add , for the information of his many friends , that Bro . Kent ' s establishment is close to Kew Bridge .
