AN OLD MASONIC PRINT . [ . To thc Editor op The Freemason . Dear Sir and Brother , — I observed some time since at a marine store dealer ' s among some lumber an old print , in rags and tatters , and so defaced by age and

dirt as to be scarcely distinguishable ; but on one of the figures I perceived a Alasonic jewel , so I struck a bargain , and secured the prize . I have since had the print restored , and I discover that the subject is , as I imagine , a representation of some important incident connected with

the history of the Alasonic Girls' School . The central figure is a venerable old gentleman , leading by the hand two small girls ; about forty more are following in procession , and ranged on each side ( of the old Freemasons' Hall , I believe , ) are a great number of Alasonic

notabilities ofthe time , evidently portraits , among them one in an eastern costume , and one in Russian or Tartar dress . Standing prominently in the foreground are , I believe , one or more members of the Royal Family . I should feel obliged if any brother having

knowledge of other copies of this print could inform me of the date of the incident represcnted , and the names of the prominent personages , as the margin of my copy is removed , and with it the descriptive lettering . Yours etc ., J . H . G .
