Notices Of Meetings.

bo the laafc resort , failing the adequate carrying onfc of tho seven opiniona under tho London Provisional Management Committee . Brethren , our discussions of the "Resolutions" on tho agenda paper are , if possible , to join issue with thoso who havo tho desire that you will give them tho power by your presence , on tho 25 th iust ., to place this School , onco and for all , on that satisfactory

basis which the Report and tho Management Committeo have clearly indicated should be accomplished . Lot mo say that tho R-pott of the Investigation Committee , at tho hoad of which Committeo is tho learned Bro . Fred . A . Philbrick , haa done all tho work of examination and eliciting evidence for the framing of the Report , which our West Yorkshire Committeo might perhaps havo or . horwiso tried to

undertake aud therefore tho labonra of Bro . A . W . SianfieUl P . M . and P . P . G . R . and his friends have been restrict I to watching events , aud considering tho manner tho London Report could bo worked out by the Provisional Management Committee , and reporting to this Prov . Grand Lodge . Briefly , what haa occurred since the 26 th April 1889 may be statod as follows : —A meeting

waa held on the 6 th June , in Freemasons' Hall , when tho Earl of Enstou waa elected Chairman of the Provisional Management Committee . Thia Committee , after it had held five meetings ( one being at Wood Green ) , presented a Report , on tho 6 th July , to tho General Committee . On tho 12 th Juno tho then House , Finance , and Audit Committees of tho School , by " resolution , " handed

over to this Provisional Committee tho management of tho School afc Wood Groen ; and this Committee , by a resolution , accepted tho charge , and , under tho Earl of Euston , Bros . Philbrick , Smithson , Langton , & c , has done all things necessary , and in accordance with the report , and in nino conclnsiona and seven opinions in carrying on the work of tho School , and tho reformation of tho

Institution . A most important letter , dated 13 th May 1 SS 9 , was written b y Bro . F . A . Philbrick , and published iu the Masonic journals , to each of tho Rota Chairmen of tho House , Finance , aud Audit Committees , justifying every conclusion and opinion to which the Committee of Investigation had unanimously arrived ; this letter has not received from the Craft , I fear , the attention

it desorves . The old matron and steward ot the School resigned . A now matron has recently been selected , and haa entered upou her dutiea at Wood Green , 1 st August . Doctor W . E . Porter , the son of Bro . Porter , of the Aire and Calder Lodgo , has been recommended by the Management Committeo to the office of Medical Officer of the School . I hope this appointment may bo confirmed ,

aud not upset by factioti 3 opposition , on the 25 th inst ., at the Quarterly Meeting in Freemasons' Hall . The " Provisional Committeo haa not lost sight of the question of the Hoad Mastership . Circumstances havo arisen which have occasioned Lord Eustou ' s Committee to somewhat accelerate tho retirement of tho present Head Master , in accordance with ( -pinion No . 1 page 46 , of the Report . A

question may ariso on the 25 th instant as to granting him a pension , and to what amount , and further , aa thero " should be a change at as early as possible iu tho office ( if Secretary , " that he should also have a retir ' ng allowance . Is it to bo a larger or smaller sum than that of tho now Secrotary , ur havo £ 200 a year in lieu of commission as a collector for the

School ? I believe tho present Secretary ia to retire towards the closo of the year , which step the following General Cou-fc fauetioued aud approved . There- aro a number of applicants fur fcho offico of Secretary . It , ia proposed to - „> ive tho now Secrotary .- £ 300 a year . I ask all tho Lodgea in West York not to bo committed to any privu ' e application whatever which candidates may mako by tendering

tonimouials before tho office of Secretary ia declared vacant . Lastly , ehaitercd accountants havo been appointed , and they have advised on tho system of bookkeeping ; and tho financial condition of tin ; Institution is also being considered . Theao aro i-oum of tho progressions mado by tho Loudon Committee in the diivoUon r l '< unying out tho Report , and on their proposal our own West York-hue . special

Committeo will mako a report and move a resolution . Whatever cv-n elusions this Provincial Graud Lodgo may cotno to thia afternoon on 1 ho prospective business of tho Quarterly Court on tho 25 th Ojtober of tho Boya' School , 1 fervently hopo tho Report and ita recommendations may not be rendered nugatory for tho want of assistance from the Lifo Governors of Weat Yorkshire . I am moat anxious tho

labours of our own special Committeo , and Chairman and Vice Chairman of our own Charity Committeo should bo uphold , and their vio . va as the exponents of thia Provincial Grand Lodgo unstained ia l'Yoeitiiisona' Hall on this eventful Friday . Only personal presence nad personal voting , if necessary , can bo of any avail and adequate efficiency if wo are to give to tho Report of the Committee- of hive :

Ligation and fcho Management , Committeo , aa well as out * own reproaontafcivoa , tho moat uncompromising and determined assistance . In an Institution whoso management ia so varied and complicated as ia th : ; Boya' School , you cannot at onco change an old and ( Psasircaia system of adniinintration . It takeatimo to place tho management , diVoipliue , and expenditure of a School , whorto wolfaro West ; Yorkshire lias KC

much afc heart , upon a remodelled and satisfactory working basis . Wo must exhibit not only patiouce but ( l ' .-ti .-riniiiatiou uho , and hel p these joint new Committees to work out this Report hi every way -, v ; i tan . 1 venture to hopo 1 he-it * labour ;; , so far , in tho enaction of " an entire chango " at Wood Green , may merit vour eonfldencn and the

mombora of these now Committees your esteem , for their jadgrrn nf , equity , and impartiality in thc duties they havo undertake ! : to f-ji'il ou behalf of tho two thousand thr < = e hundred and thirty Lod--c 3 or , -ho roll of tho Grand Lodge of England throughout the world . V . ' hh

these remarks , I ask yon , brethren , to accept tnv thanks on hr-half of t-hia Provincial Grand . Lodgo for tie ; cordiality of yonr it-cpUou and the salutation you havo given to tho oceupano of tins chair , as wed is to my Deputy , and thc other eminent Vihitors , our iu .-r . ou ; cd ga .-sia this afternoon .

London : J . B . CKAMEK AND CO ., 201 Regent Street , W . Tins well known firm of music publishora are to tho fore with new songs and piecea for tho coming winter months . We havo lately had the opportunity of sampling somo of Messrs . Cramer ' s new publication * - * , and wo are glad to be able to say they aro up to

standard . Clifton Bingham and n . Trot ore ' s " By Normandie ' s Blue Hilla" ia a moat tuneful and pretty compoaition , admirably anited for accompaniment on the violin , mnaio for which ia anpplied . "Sweet Lavendor" ia another good song , tho theme of which is pretty , while the music is soft and bright . Thia song has been

dedicated to Bro . Edward Terry , G . Treasurer . " Hark ! Hark ! the Dogs do bark ! " ia a song written by R . S . Hiokena , who haa founded hia verses on an old rhyme . The music puts one in mind of " The Vagabond ; " it is of a cheery nature , with plenty of swing in it . All these songs are excesdingly good compositions , and we feel sure will

be heard frequentl y during the present winter . For those who aro fond of pianoforte music , Messrs . Cramer have published some good , pieces . "Ma Belle Heine" is a "Graceful Danoe , " composed by H . Trotcre ; it ia of a spirited and lively charaotor , and cannofc fail to give satisfaction to any one at all fond of such music . C . H . R .

Marriott ' s " Alexandra Gavotte , in F , " ia a simple , yet pleasing piece , and is well anited to the drawing-room . "The Horse Guards" quick step March ia by tho same composer , and if anything ia moro taking than the former , ifc having a more operatic tendency . These three pieces are of a character that will bear being heard any number of times , and always leave a pleasing impression .

The melody ia tuneful and bright , and ia Euro to become popular . "Dearest" ia hardl y aa good a composition as tin ; others we have mentioned , but ,
