SATUEDAY , 27 th JANDAEY 1894 .

The Institutions, &C.

THE INSTITUTIONS , & c .

— : o : — Board of Benevolence . THB regular meeting of the Board was held on Wednesday , at the Freemasons' Hall , when the

President and two Vice Presidents occupied their chairs , and were supported by a large number of brethren . The first business was to confirm the December recommendations and then new cases came on for consideration .

In the course of a sitting extending over four hours a total of £ 630 was voted to twenty-nine of these , three were deferred , and one was dismissed . The grants made

included four recommendations to the Grand Master of £ 40 each , and seven of £ 30 each ; while the votes comprised ten of £ 20 each , four of £ 10 each , and four of £ 5 each .

o o o Royal Masonic Institution for Girls . THE returns in connection with the annual examination of the College of Preceptors give most satisfactory results in association with the Girls School ,

for out of 41 children entered m December last no less than 40 have successfully passed , a result which , in view of the sickness that prevailed at the Institution last year , and which naturally very seriously interfered with the

preparation and tuition of the pupils , is regarded as both satisfactory and somewhat unexpected . We have great pleasure in adding a word of praise to the many already

offered to the staff on this result , and hope the same good fortune may ever attend the efforts of Miss Davis and her assistant teachers on behalf of our Girls .

During the last three years 161 girls have been sent up to the periodical examinations , and of these only four have failed to secure awards , a result which goes far to prove the thoroughness of the education given to the orphan daughters of the Craft at the Girls Institution .

A Good Example.

A GOOD EXAMPLE .

MONDAY , the 8 th inst ., was a red letter day in the lives of the Pendleton youngsters , and the large room of tho Town Hall was crowded to overflowing , 1 , 300 having responded to an invitation given to them by Bro . Alderman Bichard Mottram , to witness an

entertainment illustrated by the oxy-hydrogen lantern . Bro . Lees Knowles , M . P . ( West Salford ) , occupied the chair , and he was supported by Councillors Boys , Haworth , Hudson and Luckman , Bros . Samuel Statham P . M . 1773 P . P . G . Tr ., Bichard Duxbury P . M . 1773 P . P . St . B ., and Mr . L . F . Eoberts .

The first portion of the entertainment represented a journey from Manchester to London , via the Midland Eailway , returning home by sea and the ship canal . The views were very instructive . and exceedingly amusing , those of the Ship Canal , which were from photographs taken on the opening day , being much appreciated and loudly applauded .

The second portion consisted of a selection of views of local scenery , and portraits of well known public men , including dignitaries connected with both Church and State .

Upon leaving the room every child was presented with an orange , and went away highly delighted with the evening's entertainment . Loud cheers were given for Bro . Alderman Mottram , who had thus cast at least one glimmer of sunshine upon their young lives .

The Minnehaha Minstrels.

THE MINNEHAHA MINSTRELS .

IT is questionable if there is any body of gentlemen who have been the means of benefitting charitable objects more than the Minnehaha Minstrels . Everyone knows how this amatuer troupe is constituted , and knows it has been established for the purpose of giving high class minstrel performances in aid of deserving charities . All honour to the members for their noble work . On Saturday evening , 13 th inst ., the public of Stockpoit had another opportunity of listening to an admirably arranged programme in
