During dinner the hand of the Institution , which is composed of the boys educated at , and at present in the school , performed a selection of music with great ability . The following is the list of pieces played by the band : — March , "Guard of Honour , " E . Newton ; Selection , " Reminiscences of Verdi , " arranged by R . Smith ; Polka , " . Bonne Bouchc , " E . Waldteufel ; Selection , "H . M . S .
Pinafore , " A . Sullivan ; Valse , "Dorinda , " R . Smith ; Fantasia , "The Azure Lake , " E . Mullot ; Quadrille , "Invincible , " E . Leconte ; Valse , "Souvenir , " E . Waldteufel ; " God Save the Queen . " After dinner the grace " For these and all Thy Mercies " was beautifully sung the boys , | and fully merited the enconinms bestowed on the boys' singing on Saturday last .
I he toasts were then proposed . The lady vocalists who sang during the evening were Miss Helen Hopekirk , and Miss Mary McClean . The Earl of LATHOM in proposing the health of the Queen , said : Brethren , and ladies , I give you " The Health of the Queen , " the Patroness of our Institution , and guardian of our honour . The toast was drunk with the greatest enthusiasm , and was followed by the singing of the " National Anthem . "
The Earl of _ LATHOM in rising- to propose the health of H . R . H . the Prince of Wales , said : Brethren , and ladies , I now rise to propose the second toast on the list to you . It is that of "The Health of H . R . H . the Prince of Wales , the Grand Master of our Order . " It is hardly necessary for me brethren to dilate upon His Royal Highnesses qualities , they must be only too well known to you all . You all know what an interest he takes in the Craft , and how he is always ready when his other manifold duties permit it , to come forward and support anything that may relate to it .
Royal Masonic Institution For Boys.
( Hear , hear . ) I need only point to his last Masonic act , namely , going down into Cornwall to lay the foundation stone of a new Cathedral , an act which has not been done by any Masonic body hitherto . H . R . H . has our Craft at heart . ( Hear , hear . ) I look upon him as one of the truest Masons in the country . Not only is H . R . H . oneof us , but we have two of H . R . H . 's brothers among our ranks .
H . R . H . Prince Leopold has taken a most deep interestin Masonry ever since he joined us . I myself not many years ago had the honour of installing him into the chair as Provincial Grand Master of Oxfordshire . H . R . H . the Duke of Connaught will be installed into the chair on Monday as Worshipful Master of a lodge . ( Hear , hear . ) I think I need say no more , but ask you to drink "The Health of H . R . H . the Grand Master . "
The Rev . H . A . PICKARD , P . G . C , then rose and said : My lords , ladies , and brethren , you see one who has had greatness thrust upon him . When I left my warm retreat at Oxford at the beginning of this week to join , as I have frequently , in the pleasure of this Masonic and like Masonic gatherings , 1 did so with the full conviction that my senior Chaplain , Bro . Martyn , who is so well known to
all of you —( applause)—would have been present here this evening , and would have proposed the toast which it is my lot now to ask you to honour . I hold in my hand a telegram just receiued from that worthy and worshipful brother , who says , " 1 am very sorry I cannot possibly be with iyou today . Please accept my hearty good wishes for a most successful festival . " ( Cheers . ) No one can regret Bro .
Martyn ' s absence more than he does who now takes his place ; but , at the same time , I am fully aware that the toast which I have to propose to your notice will be drunk by you with equal enthusiasm , although it is given by one who does not know how properly to propose it . ( " No , no . " ) Very few , I am sure , could do justice to the toast of our Chairman , the Earl of Lathom . ( Hear , hear . ) Let Lancashire testify
how well he is beloved by those who know him Masonically —( loud cheers from the West Lancashire brethren)—and let all those who have seen him at our Masonic gatherings in London say that it is possible for anyone to hold the distinguished post of Deputy Grand Master of England better than he does who has consented to be Chairman of our Institution this evening . ( Applause . ) Brethren , Lord Lathom
has already presided at the festivals of the other two Institutions , and has always had a very successful festival , and I trust that when he looks back upon this day in years to come he will remember it as one to be marked with a white stone as one which did not fall very far short of those festivals which he enjoyed so much previously . ( Hear , hear ) . There is perhaps one reason why I may
rejoice that it has fallen to my lot before this distinguished company to propose Lord Lathom's health , and it is because four-and-twenty years ago , when I was Master of the Apollo Lodge I had the honour of initiating Lord Lathom into the mysteries of Freemasonry . ( Loud Applause ) . Ladies and brethren , I call upon you to drink with all the honours "The Health of the Chairman , Lord Lathom . "
( Loud cheering . ) The Earl of LATHOM , in responding , said : Ladies and brethren , I thank you most heartily for the kind manner in which you have received the toast proposed by my Masonic father . I can assure you , brethren , it gives me intense pleasure to be able to be present here to day , and to preside at the eighty-second anniversary of this Institution . ( Hear , hear ) . I shall have more , perhaps , to say about it
in a few moments , hut all that 1 will do at present is to thank you most heartily , and tell you that as far as in me lies I will try to carry out thoroughly my Masonic duty , and try to merit your goodwill and esteem . The Rev . Dr . MORRIS , in proposing the next toast , said Brethren and ladies , it is said that the best commander is he who is ever ready to obey orders when he receives them .
the Chairman has ordered me to propose this toast ; I ara ready to obey the command . The toast I have to propose is " The Right Hon . the Earl of Carnarvon , M . W . Pro Grand Master ; the Right Hon . the Earl of Lathom , R . W . Dep . Grand Master ; the Vice-Presidents of the Institutions ; the Ex-oflicio Vice-Presidents of the Institutions ; and the Prov . Grand Masters and Present add Past Grand
Officers , including Col . Shadwell Gierke , the Grand Secretary . " Although the Past Grand Officers have more or less retired from active duty we are not going to forget them , and I am sure you will all receive this toast most heartily . ( Applause . ) The toast was dtunk with the greatest enthusiasm . Col . SHADWELL CLERKE , in response , said : Brethren , ladies , and gentlemen , as it has fallen to my lot to respond
to this toast , I do so most willingly , but at the same time I feel perfectly overwhelmed with gratitude at the way in which you have received this toast . When I reflect upon those illustrious names whicli are comprehended in this toast , I feel that some more influential brother ought to return thanks for it , but in their absence I beg to offer you the thanks of the officers for the very kind greeting which
you have given to their names this evening . I can assure you that the Grand Officers yield to no one in the interest they feel in this Masonic Charity , and they will look most anxiously to-morrow morning at the papers to read the list of subscriptions which are this day announced . ( Hear , hear ) . I will not detain you , ladies and brethren , further , hut simply thank you very much indeed for the very gratifying manner in which you have received the toast , and
assure you that they feel very much obliged to you for it . The Earl of LATHOM then said : Brethren and ladies , if they will allow me I will say sisters —( hear , hear)—I am sure they ought to be called our sisters , showing the interest they do in this Institution —( hear , hear)—I appear before you to give you the toast of " Prosperity to the Royal Masonic Institution for Boys" on its Eighty-second Anniversary . ( Applause . ) Brethren , it is hardly necessary for me to go into a history of the origin , ther se , and the pros-

Waldteufel ; " God Save the Queen . " After dinner the grace " For these and all Thy Mercies " was beautifully sung the boys , | and fully merited the enconinms bestowed on the boys' singing on Saturday last .
I he toasts were then proposed . The lady vocalists who sang during the evening were Miss Helen Hopekirk , and Miss Mary McClean . The Earl of LATHOM in proposing the health of the Queen , said : Brethren , and ladies , I give you " The Health of the Queen , " the Patroness of our Institution , and guardian of our honour . The toast was drunk with the greatest enthusiasm , and was followed by the singing of the " National Anthem . "
The Earl of _ LATHOM in rising- to propose the health of H . R . H . the Prince of Wales , said : Brethren , and ladies , I now rise to propose the second toast on the list to you . It is that of "The Health of H . R . H . the Prince of Wales , the Grand Master of our Order . " It is hardly necessary for me brethren to dilate upon His Royal Highnesses qualities , they must be only too well known to you all . You all know what an interest he takes in the Craft , and how he is always ready when his other manifold duties permit it , to come forward and support anything that may relate to it .
Royal Masonic Institution For Boys.
( Hear , hear . ) I need only point to his last Masonic act , namely , going down into Cornwall to lay the foundation stone of a new Cathedral , an act which has not been done by any Masonic body hitherto . H . R . H . has our Craft at heart . ( Hear , hear . ) I look upon him as one of the truest Masons in the country . Not only is H . R . H . oneof us , but we have two of H . R . H . 's brothers among our ranks .
H . R . H . Prince Leopold has taken a most deep interestin Masonry ever since he joined us . I myself not many years ago had the honour of installing him into the chair as Provincial Grand Master of Oxfordshire . H . R . H . the Duke of Connaught will be installed into the chair on Monday as Worshipful Master of a lodge . ( Hear , hear . ) I think I need say no more , but ask you to drink "The Health of H . R . H . the Grand Master . "
The Rev . H . A . PICKARD , P . G . C , then rose and said : My lords , ladies , and brethren , you see one who has had greatness thrust upon him . When I left my warm retreat at Oxford at the beginning of this week to join , as I have frequently , in the pleasure of this Masonic and like Masonic gatherings , 1 did so with the full conviction that my senior Chaplain , Bro . Martyn , who is so well known to
all of you —( applause)—would have been present here this evening , and would have proposed the toast which it is my lot now to ask you to honour . I hold in my hand a telegram just receiued from that worthy and worshipful brother , who says , " 1 am very sorry I cannot possibly be with iyou today . Please accept my hearty good wishes for a most successful festival . " ( Cheers . ) No one can regret Bro .
Martyn ' s absence more than he does who now takes his place ; but , at the same time , I am fully aware that the toast which I have to propose to your notice will be drunk by you with equal enthusiasm , although it is given by one who does not know how properly to propose it . ( " No , no . " ) Very few , I am sure , could do justice to the toast of our Chairman , the Earl of Lathom . ( Hear , hear . ) Let Lancashire testify
how well he is beloved by those who know him Masonically —( loud cheers from the West Lancashire brethren)—and let all those who have seen him at our Masonic gatherings in London say that it is possible for anyone to hold the distinguished post of Deputy Grand Master of England better than he does who has consented to be Chairman of our Institution this evening . ( Applause . ) Brethren , Lord Lathom
has already presided at the festivals of the other two Institutions , and has always had a very successful festival , and I trust that when he looks back upon this day in years to come he will remember it as one to be marked with a white stone as one which did not fall very far short of those festivals which he enjoyed so much previously . ( Hear , hear ) . There is perhaps one reason why I may
rejoice that it has fallen to my lot before this distinguished company to propose Lord Lathom's health , and it is because four-and-twenty years ago , when I was Master of the Apollo Lodge I had the honour of initiating Lord Lathom into the mysteries of Freemasonry . ( Loud Applause ) . Ladies and brethren , I call upon you to drink with all the honours "The Health of the Chairman , Lord Lathom . "
( Loud cheering . ) The Earl of LATHOM , in responding , said : Ladies and brethren , I thank you most heartily for the kind manner in which you have received the toast proposed by my Masonic father . I can assure you , brethren , it gives me intense pleasure to be able to be present here to day , and to preside at the eighty-second anniversary of this Institution . ( Hear , hear ) . I shall have more , perhaps , to say about it
in a few moments , hut all that 1 will do at present is to thank you most heartily , and tell you that as far as in me lies I will try to carry out thoroughly my Masonic duty , and try to merit your goodwill and esteem . The Rev . Dr . MORRIS , in proposing the next toast , said Brethren and ladies , it is said that the best commander is he who is ever ready to obey orders when he receives them .
the Chairman has ordered me to propose this toast ; I ara ready to obey the command . The toast I have to propose is " The Right Hon . the Earl of Carnarvon , M . W . Pro Grand Master ; the Right Hon . the Earl of Lathom , R . W . Dep . Grand Master ; the Vice-Presidents of the Institutions ; the Ex-oflicio Vice-Presidents of the Institutions ; and the Prov . Grand Masters and Present add Past Grand
Officers , including Col . Shadwell Gierke , the Grand Secretary . " Although the Past Grand Officers have more or less retired from active duty we are not going to forget them , and I am sure you will all receive this toast most heartily . ( Applause . ) The toast was dtunk with the greatest enthusiasm . Col . SHADWELL CLERKE , in response , said : Brethren , ladies , and gentlemen , as it has fallen to my lot to respond
to this toast , I do so most willingly , but at the same time I feel perfectly overwhelmed with gratitude at the way in which you have received this toast . When I reflect upon those illustrious names whicli are comprehended in this toast , I feel that some more influential brother ought to return thanks for it , but in their absence I beg to offer you the thanks of the officers for the very kind greeting which
you have given to their names this evening . I can assure you that the Grand Officers yield to no one in the interest they feel in this Masonic Charity , and they will look most anxiously to-morrow morning at the papers to read the list of subscriptions which are this day announced . ( Hear , hear ) . I will not detain you , ladies and brethren , further , hut simply thank you very much indeed for the very gratifying manner in which you have received the toast , and
assure you that they feel very much obliged to you for it . The Earl of LATHOM then said : Brethren and ladies , if they will allow me I will say sisters —( hear , hear)—I am sure they ought to be called our sisters , showing the interest they do in this Institution —( hear , hear)—I appear before you to give you the toast of " Prosperity to the Royal Masonic Institution for Boys" on its Eighty-second Anniversary . ( Applause . ) Brethren , it is hardly necessary for me to go into a history of the origin , ther se , and the pros-
