He said they congratulated those boys who had won prizes , and trusted that the obtaining of prizes would stimulate the boys to still greater exertions in the future . It was very gratifying to find that some
boys had won several prizes . Now , the boys who had not taken prizes must not be discouraged ; on the contrary , they must endeavour to put their hands to the plough for future examination . Th ; y had seen that day what some boys had done ; what some boys had done nearl y all the remaining boys could do , and so get a prize . But what he wanted to impress upon the younger boys was that when an example was set them by the
boys who got prizes , to be persevering and diligent , to attend to their masters , to work with all their heart and soul , so that an effect might be produced to the end of time . They had only to stick to work diligently , and they would obtain the reward of merit . The Board of Management were much pleased that the boys had received prizes . They were sincerely glad to have the presence of Lady Brooke , and her assistance
that day . They hoped to have the sympathy of the ladies . They were working very hard to make that School one of the best in the country . They were indebted to Lady Brooke for coming there and showing her sympathy with the r work , and he was sure when he looked upon Lady Brooke he could see it was a sincere pleasure to her to be there . They were delighted
that she was accompanied by Lord Brooke to assist them in that gathering , They trusted that that might not be the last occasion that Lady Brooke would be among them and express the same amount of sympathy , and delight them with the same amount of grace and kindness as she had that day .
Thc vote of thanks having been unanimously carried , Lord BROOKH , in acknowledgment , assured the company on Lady Brooke ' s behalf that he returned her most sincere thanks for the kindly manner in which that vote of thanks had been moved and received . It was a very great pleasure both to him and Lady Brooke to be there that day . That was not the proper occasion for entering on a long speech giving the
details of the School and its able management . That subject had been somewhat gone into by the Head Master . But it was satisfactory to feel that the School was in such a flourishing condition . To those who , like himself , had the good of Freemasonry primarily at heart and who had not often the opportunity of coming to such an Institution as the Boys' School , it was extremely gratifying to feel that some of the efforts and exertions which
they had expended down in their provinces among the brethren for the support of the great Masonic Charities had been crowned with success , and to those ladies who were present that day he would say—those who had not been initiated into the mysteries of Masonry—he trusted they would realise the fact that there was some good in Masonry , even if the only result was to produce such a satisfactory School as they then saw . He feared it would
b" taxing his memory somewhat , and the company ' s patience excessively , if he was to recall the events ot his school days , but he felt sure that all ° f them looked back to those days , to the little disappointments and triumphs , and he would say to the boys before him that at any rate they should devote themselves to tryingto become good members of the community when they left School . It was not always possible for one to be successful in these
Junes when the struggle was so hard ; but anyhow , they could try to do their "est , and if he was a boy in that School he should especiall y be proud to be the bo y whose school-fellows elected him to be the best conduced boy in the school . He thought he might hold forth the hope of his friends that day ' ¦¦ t that year the brethren would not be behind hand with their subscriptions 10 l , le great Masonic Institution . He assured the company that he felt cepl y the honour which had been done to him , and his wife also felt the
0 | iour done to her by being privileged to present the prizes . He would ' ) ' to the boys in conclusion , let them try to excel in whatever they under-° , and always try to bear in mind that whatever position in life they ght be in , England expected them to do their duty . Let him remind the ys of an incident which had iust taken place—it was a sad , but
e story—the sad accident to one of the finest ships of our fleet . \\ h S ' lear further details of it shortly , but he expected we should hear n the news came to us of great sacrifice , courage , and heroism shown on occasion . To his mind the picture of the Admiral on the bridge going

( Applause . ) Bro . MCLEOD announced that , as an encouragement to the boys with shorthand , Bro .
