Royal Masonic Institution For Boys.

day , and from what I have heard I am sure I can bear witness to the g ood of the Institution , not onl y as a well-situated Institution , but as far as the dormitories are concerned they are well ventilated , and everything - that can conduce to the comfort and happiness of the boys is considered . ( Cheers . ) I need not say I think a great dea ! of credit is due to thc Head Master of that establishment , the Rev . Dr . Morris , for the very great care and energyhe has shown in the education of thc boys . I think our thanks arc due to

him for the care and energy he has displayed in the education of the pupils ( Cheers . ) I trust and hope that this Institution will go on long and prosper . Although I know many brethren who are better able than I am to p lead the cause of this Institution and bring- it before your notice , I would advise every brother to go to the Institution and visit it for himself , wljen I am sure he will be gratified bv what he sees . ( "Hear . hear , and cheers . 1 We

cannot hope this year to raise so larg-e a sum as was raised last year when my noble friend and brother the Earl of Lathom presided at the festival of this Institution , but I trust and hope that the subscriptions which will comefrom the provinces will not be far wanting , and I onl y hope that this first appearance of myself , as Provincial Grand Master for Durham , as President of your festival will incite my province to support you nobly , and that there

may be no deterioration in the subscriptions you receive . I hope every one will be pleased at the claims of the Institution being so p laced before " you . ( Cheers . ) I will not detain you longer , but I will ask you to drink " Prosperity to the Royal Masonic Institution for Boys , " coupling wilh that toast the name of Bro . George Plucknett , your Treasurer . ( Cheers . ) Bro . PLUCKNETT , Treasurer , responded , but on account of thc noise occasioned b y many of the visitors ( caving the room , he was perfectl y inaudible . ¦*

-Bro . BINCKES , Secretary , then read the following list of subscriptions , prefacing them with the observation that these outings had been called an extravagant experiment and innovation , and that their failure had been predicted .

management , and it bad been said that the festivals should bc held in London . They had , however , as far as the Boys' School was concerned , been held for a few years out of London , and that day an instance had been given of an attempt to hold them elsewhere . They had that day held the Festival of thc Boys' School in thc good old town of Bri ghton , and he looked upon it as a great success . Where thc next festival would be held he did not know .

Die CHAIRMAN * - said there was an old saying that time was made for slaves , but still as there was a train to catch for London he would ask the brethren to drink " The Health ofthe Stewards" to whom they were all indebted , both for the comfort they had enjoyed and the lar ge subscriptions that had been announced . Bro . A . J . Dui'i * FILKR responded , and remarked that the Stewards were highly satisfied with the result of the day ' s proceedings . The brethren then returned lo town . During the dinner the band of the ist Sussex Volunteer Artillery , b y kind permission of Lieut .-Col . LI . Fester , and the Officers of the cor ps , played a selection of music , and in the intervals between the toasts Madame Thaddeus Wells , MdJJe . PauVme Featherby , Miss Mary McClean and Mr .
