one-fifth for the Vicar of the parish , two-fifths to the Masonic Annuity Fund , and the remainder to the East Cornwall Hospital . On the motion of Bro . Hughan , seconded by Bro .

Fund , to be dealt with by the subscribers at the next Provincial Grand Lodge ; that a vacancy be declared in the Annuity Fund , and that any grants considered desirable , ancl in form , be forwarded to the Secretary at Truro , in order that all subscribers may be informed thereof . " Before the business of the lodge was brought to a close the Provincial Grand Master called

the attention of the brethren present to the coming visit of the Prince of Wales to Plymouth , on the occasion of the opening of the new Guildhall buildings , and he made an appeal to the W . M . ' s of lodges to make their arrangements as speedily and as complete as possible .

He said there was a strongl y expressed desire that the two provinces of Devon and Cornwall . should work together in the most perfect harmony on that occasion , and he would do all in his power to promote that end . It was resolved that Bros . Sir F . M . Williams ,

Bart ., . MP ., P . G . W . England , W . J . Hughan P . S . G . D . England ; E . T . Carlyon , Prov . Grand Secretary ; and R . Iden , P . Prov . D . C , be the . Committee to make the necessary arrangements The lodge was then closed in due form . The annual banquet was provided by Bro .

Sandoe , of the Royal Hotel , at the Town Hall , and was partaken of by a very large number of brethren . The Prov . Grand Master presided , and after dinner his lordship proposed the loyal and Masonic toasts usual on these occasions . At intervals , some excellent vocal and

instrumental music was provided by Bros . Hele , Bodmin Goodall , Devonport ; Clemens , Plymouth ; Rowe , Bodmin ,-Rice , Torquay , •and Heath , Redruth . The health of the Provincial Grand Master , proposed by Bro . Captain Colvill , P . G . S . W ., was drunk with great enthusiasm , and his

Lordship , in returning thanks , spoke of the excellent arrangements which Captain Colvill and his officers made for the convenience , comfort , and accommodation of Grand Lodge . Nothing could have been better , and they were deserving of the highest praise .

Browse , Captain Wordsworth , Thomas W . White , W . Watson , Jesse Turner , Frederick Binckes , H . Massey ( representing The Freemason ) , H . Muggeridge , and R . Wentworth Little , Secretary . After the reading of the minutes , which

were confirmed , it was resolved to admit into the school five girls beyond the number which it at present boards , clothes , and educates . Bro . John Symonds , in Bro . J . C . Parkinson ' s absence brought forward the motion of which that

brother had given notice , and which has appeared in our advertising columns . Bro . Symonds argued in favour of the alteration proposed , but on the motion being put for a seconder , none was found , and it therefore dropped . Bro . Symonds then moved , in place

of Bro . Parkinson , the second alteration of which notice was given , and which also appeared in our advertising columns . This motion proposed to give to ladies who would become subscribers additional qualifications . The motion was seconded by Bro . Thomas W . White , and was carried unanimously .

Bro . H . A . Dubois was not present to bring forward his motion , and it consequently fell through . Bro . William duff ' s bequest of £ 3500 to thc Girls' School , the terms of which were set out in our last impression , was then

considered , and the letter of Bro . Hopwood and Sons , to Bro . Binckes , with respect to the effect of a similar bequest to the Boys' School , was read by Bro . Little . Bro . Binckes , at the request of the Chairman , stated what course

the Boys School General Committee had taken , for which we refer our readers to the full report of the proceedings of that Committee in our last number , and it was resolved that joint action should be taken by the two Institutions in the

matter . Bro . H . Browse had first moved that the bequest be altogether refused , which motion , however , was not seconded . Bro . Peacock said he did not see that there would be much difficulty in carrying out the trusts of the will , and

thought that under the Trustee Relief Act the Institution should pay the money into the Court of Chancery . He was in favour of the Boys' and Girls' Schools acting in harmony , and submitting the extract from the will to the

Grand Master , who was President of both Institutions , to take the opinion of the Grand Registrar , Bro . Mclntyre , Q . C . This being generally concurred in , was adopted , and a vote of thanks to the Chairman brought the proceedings of the quarterly court to a close .
