Masonic Notes .

We have been requested to announce that the names of two boys A . F . Cooper , No . 19 , and Laurence T . Evans , No . . 11 — have been withdrawn from the list of candidates for the approaching election for

the Royal Masonic Institution tor Boys on Saturday , the 20 th instant . This reduces the number of competitors from 47 to 45 , and slightly improves the chances of those remaining on the list .

The mention of these withdrawals reminds us of the necessity of impressing it upon our readers , but more especially upon those among them who are interested in the approaching School elections , that the Quarterly General Courts at which they will take place will be

held in the great hall of the Freemasons Tavern on Friday , the 19 th , and Saturday , the 20 th inst ., the Boys ' School Court being fixed for the former day , and the Girls' School Court for the latter . We have alread y drawn attention where necessary to the leading points

names will be removed from the lists if they fail at these elections . The following arc thu last cases in question , viz ., No . y ( Shropshire ) and No . 12 ( London ) on the Girls' list ; and No . 11 ( New South Wales ) , No . 16 ( London ) , No . 30 ( Northern China and Japan ) ,

and No . 32 ( Berkshire ) 011 the Boys' List . It must be remembered that the claims of these six children to be admitted into the Institutions for which they are severall y candidates , have been approved , and it is for this reason- ; not because we have any interest in , or even knowledge of , the merits of the several cases—that w *
