Anniversary Festival Of The Royal Masonic Institution For Boys.

oratorical power . The Chairman was Grand Master of the province of which Bro . Philbrick was Deputy Grand Master . Although Bro . Philbrick would have proposed the toast with greater ability than he ( Bro . Eve ) he could not do it with greater pleasure . They were all delighted to have as their President that day thc Right Hon . Lord Brooke , who not

only took a deep interest in Masonry but a deep interest in the Masonic Institutions . Lord Brooke was the revered R . W . Prov . Grand Master of one of the largest and most influential provinces in our Kingdom—the Province of Essex . That evening the brethren of Essex had shown their devotion to him by coming to this Festival and supporting him in large

numbers . Lord Brooke had most abl y given the company a history of the Institution , and for that if for nothing further he was entitled to their deep thanks . Lord Brooke was not only pleased to be Chairman that day , but on the day previously he had attended with Lady Brooke at the Institution

at Wood Green , and her ladyship had distributed the prizes . ( Cheers . ) Thc Board of Management felt that they owed a deep debt of gratitude to I ^ ady Brooke for her kindness , and the graceful way in which she performed her task . To Lord Brooke the brethren and ladies must express their deep thanks . He had some notion of what would be announced with reference

to thc work of the Stewards headed by their R . W . Chairman . He was not surprised that the Secretary had had a difficulty in getting at the sum total , because it was an immense one . It might not be so large as it was when the Most Worshipful the Pro Grand Master on a special occasion presided , but he knew it had increased considerably

over what it had sometimes been . There had been £ 13 , 600 subscribed when he ( Bro . Eve ) was chairman , but that would be now exceeded . The cx : rtions of the R . W . brother in the chair had been productive of the greatest amount of interest in the Institution . He would have liked the announcement of the lists before proposing this toast , but he asked them to reserve a

small corner in their hearts for thanks to Lord Brooke and Lady Brooke for what they had done for the Institution . Lord Brooke had made a splendid Chairman , and they were rejoiced to see him looking so well and healthy . Tlicy trusted he would on many future occasions be able to assist this Institution .

Lord BROOKE , in reply , said : Bro . Eve , Ladies , and Brethren , —I thank yoj most heartily and warmly for the very kind manner in which you have proposed and drunk my health . I could have wished , as Bro . Eve has said , that it had been possible to announce the subscription list before my health was given , because I feel , until that is done , you can have no idea whether I

hive done my duty , or whether I deserve what you have been good enough 10 drink just now . 1 can only say that Bro . Eve [ flatters my province , when lie calls it one of the largest and most powerful provinces in the kingdom . I cannot say it is a very large province ; but during the time I have had the honour of presiding over it , I have seen the lodges springing up in numbers

around mc , not quite so numerously , perhaps , as those advertising boards , of a small cure , which we saw in the fields as we came down by thc railway side , but , still , quite numerously enough , for the health of the province ; and , also , I have felt , that with the help of my excellent brethren and the assistance of the Deputy Provincial Grand Master , whom I regret

exceedingly not to sec present , and who is engaged on important and urgent business , I hope we have been able from small and inadequate resources to contribute something towards this worthy Institution . The brethren must remember this—we are not like any other county ; we have wheatfields where there is no wheat , and hayfields where there is no hay ; and if we have

sent up a small amount we have done our best , at any rate , and that is all a man can do . I remember some years ago being in this building when the M . W . Grand Master installed the Duke of Connaught as Provincial Grand Master for Sussex . The occasion was one of the most splendid I ever witnessed , and when I was called upon to speak I said it was a most interesting

occasion , and I hoped to renew my acquaintance with the town of Brighton . ( Hear , hear . ) And now allow me to give you a toast , which I know will be received with cordiality , the toast of " The Visitors , " coupled with thc name of the Mayor of Brighton , who , a Mason himself , as evidenced by his Masonic costume , although his chain does not denote the official insignia

which some of us bear , but still that chain is one of the most honourable chains a man can bear on his neck , because it denotes the appreciation of ' ¦ is value and worth by his fellow townsmen—has come here to honour us with his presence . I feel greatly , personally greatly , honoured by the Presence of the Mayor of Brighton sitting here on my left hand , and I thank ¦*> m most heartily for his kindness .

Bro . EWART ( Mayor of Brighton ) , in acknowledging the toast , said - ' 'ghton was a great Masonic centre . 1 hc energy of the Masons in that l ° wn , not only in adding to their numbers , but to their charitable contribul | ons , was very remarkable . The Masons of Brighton welcomed all those Present that day for their great efforts in support of the Institutions . He

was deli ghted to hear from the lips of Bro . Eve of the great amount of Rood the Institution was doing , morally , physically , and educationally for h ( - ' 268 boys who were being educated and brought up in it . He knew of n ° duty more incumbent on men than the moral and physical education of ciildren , and , indeed , it would have been very peculiar if the children of

•• sons had not been adequately attended to in these respects . They were pre that day in a building in which they Brightonians took a very great Pride . The whole of the foundations of the Pavilion buildings were laid by n ancestor of the present Royal Family , and he ( Bro . Ewart ) thought he

_ " very good Mason . Again expressing his thanks for the toast , the 0 l"shipf ui brother hoped that this was not the last time he would have the Peasure and honour of being in a similar assembly for a like noble and S 00 d purpose . ( Cheers . ) Br o . MCLEOD then read the following
