Grand Masonic Concert.

GRAND MASONIC CONCERT .

On Frielay , 30 th ult ., thc brethren and their friends in Lci-, Titer hail a great musical treat in a grand pianoforte anel hirmonium tecital which was given in the Masonic Hall of the town by Bro . T . H . Scott , a local organist , whose admission to the Craft we recorded a short time since . Bro . Scott is the Organist of St . John ' s Lodge 270 , and the

concert was given uneler the auspices of the lodge as a comp liment to him , and a mark of the high appreciation of bis valuable services . He is also the organist of Emanuel Church , Victoria-road , Leicester , where Bro . S . Cleaver , S . W . 279 , is the conductor of thc choir . The concert was in every sense a very great success , and though Bro . Scott was throughout entirely unassisted , the interest in the

peiformance , and the thorough enjoyment of the audience was most manifest . Bro . Scott is truly an enthusiast in his profession , and an artist of most rare ability and taste . The applause was both frequent and hearty , and the encomiums passed upon the performer at the close were most enthusiastic . We congratulate Bro . Scott upon the unqual fied success , anel we heartily congratulate Lodge 270 upon such an excellent addition to their list of members .

Liverpool is at present all alive with excitement over the coming Whit-week Bazaar , Gala and Fancy Fair , in one of the people ' s parks , in aid of the funds of the Stanley Hospital , an institution which occupies a proud position amongst the numerous hospitals in " the good old town . " The Earl and Countess of Derby will open the Bazaar on Monday . For wealth and variety of attractions

this Fe ' te has probably never been equalled in Liverpool , and , with fine weather , it is sure to be a brilliant success . Many well-known Masonic Brethren are the chief workers in the charitable effort , amongst whom may be named , Bros . Dr . Sheldon , Dr . Smith , Dr . Cochine , J . Jones ( P . M . 216 ) , Beesley , P . Armstrong , Houlding ( W . M . 823 ) , A . C . Wylie , R . Bennett , & c . Some splendid gifts have been made to thc Bazaar .

ROYAL MASONIC INSTITUTION FOR GIRLS .

To the Patron , Vice Patrons , Vice Presidents , and Life Governors of the Royal Masonic Institution for Girls . My Lords , Ladies , and Brethren , I desire to tender my sincere thanks to the numerous brethren who have so kindly assisted me in my canvass for the personal support that will necessarily be

required at the forthcoming election of a Secretary to thc above Institution . The qualifications below enumerated , will enable those desirous of assisting to form some idea as to my fitness for the appointment so recently held bv our lamented brother K . W . Little . Firstly . —I am 37 years of age , and have occupied the

position of Accountant to the Thames Steam-Tug and Lighterage Company ( Limited ) for the past 13 years , during which period I have acquired large and varieel experience , together with a personal knowledge of many of the leading men in our commercial houses . Secondly , —Holding , as I at present do , the office of

Preceptor in two Lodges of Instruction , as well as a position both in Chapter and Lodge , will , I trust , be considered some evidence of my zeal anel interest in the cause of Freemasonry . Thirdly . —The duties I formerly carried out for 9 years , as Honorary Secretary to the St . Cecilia Choral Society , will , no doubt , be also a rccommenelation

with many brethren , and Lastly—The training I received at Highbury College , uneler thc Hev . C . II . Alford , the late Bishop of Victoria , anil the important fact of a close association with many woi leers in the scholastic world , must be advantageous when the special nature of thc vacant appointment is ceinsideretl .

May I , therefore , beg of those Life Governors , whose voles and interest are yet unpledged , to give me their personal . support at thc election . A communication to this effect will be thankfully received . 1 am , My Lorels , Laelies , anil Brethren , Yours faithfully and fraternally ,
