Masonic Notes.

Masonic Notes .

It is indeed good news which has reached us at thc moment of going to press that H . R . H . the Duke of Connaught , K . G ., M . W . Past Grand Master , Prov . G .

Master of Sussex , has graciously consented to preside at the 104 th anniversary of the Royal Masonic Institution for Girls in 1892 . We congratulate Bro . Hedges on the good fortune which awaits the Institution of which he is Secretary .

We must also congratulate the Province of Sussex on the opportunity this will afford them of displaying yet once again the interest they have so constantly manifested in all our Institutions . As recently as the 24 th ult . the Province contributed nearly ^ 750 to the

Boys' School , while in 1888 it raised over £ 884 for the Girls' Centenary , and in 1885 ^ 1850 at the Festival for the same Institution , which that year was held under the presidency of the late highly respected Provincial

Grand Master , Bro . Sir W . W . Burrell , Bart . Indeed , we see no reason why , as a compliment to Sussex , the Girls' Institution should not celebrate its next year ' s Festival at Brighton—provided always such an arrangement should fall in with his Royal Highness ' s convenience . * * *

In our report of the speech in which Bro . the Earl of Lathom proposed the toast of " Success to the Royal Masonic Institution for Boys" at the Festival at Brighton last week , two literal errors occur , which will have been noted by those who know anything of

the past history of the Charity , but which , if left uncorrected , will convey a very erroneous impression of the extent and cost of the original freehold at Wood

Green . His lordship is reported to have said that in 1856 Lordship House , Wood Green , was purchased , with about 20 acres of land , for ^ 35 , 000 . " It should have read " with about 10 acres of land for . £ 3500 . "

* * * Bro . Alderman Savory , Lord Mayor of London , who was Hon . President of the Board of Stewards , was to

his very great regret prevented attending the Festival on the 24 th ult . in consequence of his official duties in connection with the election of Sheriffs for the ensuing year detaining him in town .

* * * We have received a number of additions and corrections to the Stewards' Lists as published in our issue of last week . These will be fully accounted for in thc reprint of the Festival report and analysis , which will
