Royal Masonic Institution For Boys.

ROYAL MASONIC INSTITUTION FOR BOYS .

The General Committee of this institution was held on Saturday , the 3 rd inst ., at Freemasons' Hall , Bro . John Symonds in the chair . There were also present Bros . Benj . Head , Capt . J . Wordsworth , II . Browse , Jesse Turner , R . B . Webster , J . B . Scriven , Alfred H . Diaper , W . Hyde Pullen , George J . Palmer , II . Massey ( "

Freemason " ) , F . H . Ebsworth , J . G . Chancellor , Richard Spencer , Alex . Wallace , W . Mann , J . W . Dosell , F . Adlard , Pereival Sanford , S . Rosenthal , A . Durrant , and F . Binckes , Secretary . After the reading of the minutes it was agreed , on the recommendation of the House Committee , to admit two boys by purchase on the payment of 170 guineas each .

Bro . H . Browse , P . G . D ., again brought forward the subject of admission to the School by purchase , which he wished the brethren to weigh well . He thought that b y allowing such a system they were not doing good to the Craft at large . It was all very well when the School was not in a prosperous condition , but that state of things was now altered ; and if they took in children whose friends

were sufficiently well off to raise amongst them a sum of 170 guineas , they wcie excluding those children whose friends were really without any means to support them . The system of purchase was to the injury of the poor and distressed ; and he had it in contemplation to give notice for the next Quarterly Court to consider the desirability cf discontinuing the present system . He felt that it was a

matter which required consideration by the whole body of Masons . The Chairman , having referred to the " laws " of the institution , found that to carry out Bro . Browse's object it would be necessary to repeal the two laws which allowed the purchase system . Bro . Browse said that that would be his notice of motion .

Capt . J . Wordsworth observed that three years ago he was on the committee appointed to consider these laws . They had many meetings , at the first of which they decided to strike out purchase ; but as they found that it would be very hard to lose any deserving case , after considerable argument the price of purchase was raised from 150 to 170 guineas . Now that the laws had been made after

considerable thought and care , he bdieved they would be making a mistake if they again altered them , more especially as they had assimilated the rules of the Girls ' School with those of thc Boys' . Bye-and-bye , if they went on making so many alterations , they would not understand what the laws were . Bro . Browse then gave his notice of motion . The House Committee was afterwards elected as

follows : — Bros : Henry Browse , J . Giles Chancellor , Benjamin Head , W . Henry Hunt , W . F . C . Moutrie , William Paas , W . Hyde Pullen , William Roebuck , Sigismund Rosenthal , J . Bagot Scriven , R . VV . Stewart , John Wordsworth . The election ' of the Audit Committee was then taken : —

Bros . John Boyd , J . W . Dosell , Benjamin Head , W . Mann , D . W . Pearse , George Janies Row , Jesse Turner , Alexander Wallace , R . B . Webster . There was no contest for cither of these elections . Four boys were then placed on the list for the October ekction , and two cases were deferred for butter reading . An outfit was granted to one ex-pupil , and the Committee adjourned .

Mr . J . L . Toole is just now the star of the Scottish theatrical evening . Thc genial comedian opened at the Edinburgh Theatre on Monday , and was icccived as usual by a " bumper . " Mr . Toole is very popular in Scotland . He spends his day in receiving visits from and visiting the literary and other intellectual dignitaries of the land .

Heaps of invitations to dine await him ; and it is no secret that some of thc Fathers of the Church arc delighted to make his acquaintance , and see him also from a sly corner of the theatre . If jou see an individual with his ccat collar turned up and a wide-awake on , sitting in the shadow of the balcony or the pit , depend upon it that man

IS a reverend father or a university professor . Mr . Toole ' s visits will always put money in his purse . A report of the " Premiei " Red Cross Conclave will appear in our next . We are requested to state that the Bishop of London has removed his residence to Fulham Palace .

Her Majesty the Queen has been pleased to send a box of toys , bought in Germany , to St . Andrew ' s Hospital , Ciewer , Windsor , for the use of the children in that hospital .

A marriage has been arranged between Lady Gwendolin Talbot , second daughter of the Right Honourable thc Earl of Shrewsbury , Provincial Grand Master for Staffordshire , and Viscount Hclmsley , M . P . for the North Riding , eldest son of the Earl cf Faversham .
