DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZES AT THE ROYAL MASONIC INSTITUTION FOR GIRLS .
In the presence of a very large assemblage of supporters of the Royal Masonic Institution for Girls , Clapham-common , Countess Amherst distributed on the 6 th instant the prizes gained by the pupils during the year . The ceremony took p lace in the beautiful Alexandra Centenary Hall , which her present Majesty opened just 10 years ago . Thc young ladies , who number about 200 , looked very nice in their dresses of blue cloth and smart
little pinafores , and they gave a capital display of calisthcnic exercises . This was followed by some remarkably good marching , in much closer formation than is usually adopted , and in conclusion the girls formed into a a series of groups representing the letters and figures " K . R . I ., inoi , " in honour of ihe fact , subsequently announced , that the King has become Grand Patron of the School . A short musical programme was given , and Lady Amherst then gave away the awards . The gold medal for general proficiency , with an accom-

panying purse of £ _ , was adjudged to Miss Doris Eagle , who distinguished herself also in German and history , and took honours in the Senior Cambridge Local Examinations . Miss Mary Jowett , also with a long nst of successes to her name , took the silver medal ; and the good conduct prize given by the Supreme Council went to Miss Ethel Corner . In a charming speech , Countess AMHERST advised the winners to go on and succeed again , not only in the School , but to make up their minds to win
success outside . Those who had not obtained prizes were not to despair , for all were not equally gifted , and very often the girl who stood lowin the list had worked as hard as those above her , and it was a fact that the prizes of life fell not always to the most brilliant , but to the most persevering . If they had thought yet of what they would make of life , she would remind them that it should have length , breadth , and height , and the former she regarded as just the common homely life of woman , which consisted of doing a
number of small things well . Among the noble qualities of the Queen , whose loss they so deeply mourned , her virtues as wife and mother were ever conspicuous ; and , so far as her exalted position permitted , she not only attended to , but thoroughly enjoyed her domestic duties . Homeliness might be an old-fashioned recipe , but it was a real gcod one lo make a
nation strong and successful . The breadth should lie in a wide sympath y for their fellows , and in such an Institution the idea of the brotherhood of man was constantly before them , to teach them to be tender hearted and kindly disposed , while for height they should look above . With some thoughtful words to the older girls on the " white pages " of life ' s unfolded book before them , her ladyship concluded amid hearty cheers .
Bro . Sir J MONCKTON proposed a vote of thanks , to which Earl AMHERST , M . W . Pro G . M ., replied , congratulating the teachers as well as the girls on all they had seen . He laughingly admitted a preference for the graceful exercises they had performed to the recently-discussed and more violent ones of skipping , for he would confide to them that when the right young man came in their direction it was the mate he was looking for an not the skipper ! After tea had been served to the visitors , the girls gave a short concert .
