Ihe Kev . H . K . COOI-ER-SMITH , D I ) ., P . G . Chap ., proposed "The other Masonic Institutions , " and urged upon the brethren the duty of supporting them . He made a strong appeal on behalf of the Boys' School , the festival of which would take place on June 27 th , under the presidency of Bro . W . L . Jackson .

Bro . J . M . MCLEOD , in responding , expressed on behalf of the other two Institutions their hearty congratulations on the great success achieved , and the hope that such success would continue for all future time . He felt personally much gratified at the result of the exertions of his brethren from West Lancashire , and it had been a pleasure to him to participate by acting as a Steward for his mother lodge in that Province . No words were

needed from him to appeal for their sympathies for the Benevolent Institution , the objects and aims of which were such as commanded the ( irst care of every Mason , and he would not detain them at length with his appeal for support to the Boys' School , as he felt sure all were desirious of reaching the Temple to enjoy the charming music and still more charming company awaiting them . The Boys' School was fortunate in having an eloquent Chairman to preside over its Festival in

June , and the popular chief of the generous Province of West Yorkshire would be very liberally supported by his brethren . But he must remind those present that West Yorkshire was always to the fore at these Festivals —its efforts on behalf of the three Institutions were continuous and not spasmodic—and therefore he confidently appealed to one and all to assist the management which had proved to be efficient , economical , and excellent in the work on which il was engaged . Whilst he could not expect to reach the handsome sum of that evening , he was full of hope that it would

be his privilege and pride to make an announcement on the 27 th of June which would be gratifying to the Craft at large . Bro . Sir Joii . v B . MONCKTON responded to the toast of " The Stewards , " after which the company adjourned to Freemasons' Hall ,

where a concert was given , under the direction of Bro . Frederick A . J ewson . The performers were Miss Elsie Mackenzie , Miss Mildred Shoubridge , Miss Frances Hipwell , Bro . Charles Chilley . the Meister Glee Singers ( Bros . William Sexton , Gregory Hast ,

William Forington . and Webster Norcross ) , solo violin , Madame Dunbar Perkins ; solo ; eo ! a , Miss Edith Drake ; solo pianoforte , Bro . Alfred Izard . The conductors were Bros . Alfred Izard and Frederick A . Jewson . Messrs . Brinsmead and Sons' concert grand piano was used .

The Stewards' jewel was silver gilt hallmarked , the centre being a plate of octagon shape , on which were placed the arms , crests , and motto of the noble Chairman , richly enamelled in correct heraldic colours and in relief , the whole being surrounded by eight ornamental leaves of alternate burnished and dead gold , and surmounted by an earl ' s coronet .

I he jewel was suspended from a white watered silk ribbon , on which was a dark blue enamelled scroll , bearing the name of the Institution and date of Stewardship , and hanging from a top bar formed of the letter L reversed , joined by pierced-out , fancy scroll work , in centre of which appeared a band enamelled with the word Steward .

The above was specially designed and manufactured by Bro . George Kenning , London .

Analysis Of The Returns.

ANALYSIS OF THE RETURNS .

It is hardly necessary to say that the duty upon which we now enter of analysing the Returns at this Festival is one we shall perform with peculiar p leasure . Previous Anniversaries have been attended with beneficial results , but with the exception of the Centenary in 18 SS , there . has been no occasion in the annals of this Institution on which the Returns have reached so high a figure , and at the same time so closely realised the hopes and expectations of its friendi and supporters . When the announcement was made that the chair would be

taken by the ever-popular Pro Grand Master and Provincial Grand Master of West Lancashire , the opinion was very generally expressed that the success of the Anniversary mig ht be looked upon as certain , and that opinion has been borne out by the circumstances , the Stewards who took part in the celebration , and to whose exertions its success is due , having wisely determined to leave no stone unturned to realise the prophecy in which they and others had permitted themselves to indulge . Be it our present task to show how and to what extent their efforts have

been crowned with success . The total number of Stewards was 450 , and the amount they raised £ 17 , 73 2 os . Gd ., London being represented by 197 brethren and ladies , and returning £ 8100 i 6 s ., while the Provinces and Foreign Stations sent up 257 Stewards by whom the su * n of £ 0631 41 . 6 d . was accumulated . But without disturbing

these to ' als for the present—indeed the time is too short to allow of this being done—we are in a position to state that the additions already received have increased the grand total to upwards of ^ 18 , 000 . The particulars of these additions and the alterations they involve both in the principal and subordinata totals will be published at an early date . Taking

LONDON lirst , we find that the place of honour was secured by Bro . Oscar Philippe , represent ' ing the Montague Guest Lodge , No . 1900 , who , albeit he has done great things in the past , has never achieved so brilliant a success as he did on this occasion , when the amount of his list was retuined at ^ 1050 . Indeed , as Bro . Hedges was careful to point out in his summary at the meeting , no one who has undertaken the duties of Steward for the Girls' School has ever been able to compile so large a sum , and we feel that we should be wanting in our duty if we omitted to add

our congratulations to those so cordially offered on Wednesday to Bro . Philippe , on a success so unprecedented . Next in order , but at a very wide interval , we have Bro . T . A . Bullock , of the Telegraph Cable Lodge , No . 2470 , whose list amounted to £ 213 3 s ., the third and fourth places being secured by the joint list of Bros . J . Lightfoot and H . R . Hobbs , Selwyn Lodge , No . 1901 , for / 205 16 s ., and Bro . A . J . Cave , jun ., Sir Hugh Myddelton Lodge , No . 1602 , for £ l $ 4 5 s . respectively . Bro . W . Hoggins , St , Ambrose Lodge , No . 1891 , came next in order with £ 140 , and Bro . Charles Hammerton , of the House Committee , next with , £ 1 3 8 , the seventh place being obtained by Bro . F . C . Ward , of the Capper
