The School Elections.
THE SCHOOL ELECTIONS .
The autumn School Elections were held at Freemasons Tavern on Thursday and Friday of last week , and the hopes and Icars which for Die greater part of the last fix months have buoyed up or depressed the friends and supporters of the several
candidates , cease for the time being , to be renewed in the case of those of the children who failed to win places as the time for the elections in the spring of 1902 draws nigh . Over the Girls ' election there was very little excitement for the reason we have
hefoie stated , that there was a very fair proportion of vacancies to be competed for , but the polling was heavy , and tho excitement great in the case of the Hoys' School contest , there being more than two candidates for every vacancy that was to be Jillcd .
The Ouarterly General Court of Governors and Subscribers of
THE ROYAL MASONIC INSTITUTION FOR GIRLS was held on Thursday , the 10 th instant , when 16 children were elected from an approved list of 25 candidates reduced by the nomination of the Girl at No . 13 under the " Earl Amherst "
Presentation to 24 . The highest place on the poll was taken by one of the four London candidates , who had but this one chance of being elected , and whose friends polled for her 5 814 voles . Next in order came one of the two Suffolk Girls with 5713 , and then a candidate from distant " Northern China and China "
with 56 93 votes . The fourth on the list was a London Girl , for whom 5241 votes were polled , while the lifth , from
Hampshire and the Isle of Wight , who had 1206 votes to her credit from the April election , had her total increased to 5232 votes . The Hertfordshire candidate came next in order with
1--4 votes , the Northants and Hunts being close up with 5140 votes , and one of the two Essex children next with 5130 votes . Jlie ninth on the poll had this remaining chance of securing admission into the Schooland having 430 votes in hand , and
, plenty of hel p forthcoming from her friends in Malta and London , she finished up the day with 5104 votes to her credit , the West Y orkshire girl , who was similarly placed in the matter of
' -h . 'inccs , being placed 10 th , with 4 808 votes . The Cornish candidate was next on the list with 4653 votes , and then came the second Suffolk , with 439 8 votes . One of the two Warwickshire girls won the 13 th place , with 4343 votes , and the . North
The School Elections.
Wales lassie was close at her heels with 4301 , the West Lancashire girl and the second candidate from Essex having the good fortune to secure the remaining two vacancies , the former with 4160 votes , and the latter with 3862 , of which 3229
already stood to her credit from v \ pnl last . Only one of . the unsuccessful candidates polled appreciabl y near to the lowest successful , and she was a London girl , who scored 3050 votes , the next in order—from
Middlesexreceiving support to the extent of 1549 votes , there being three others who polled over 1000 . However , the three "last chances , " we rejoice to say , found places among the successful and those who failed on this occasion will carry forward such
votes as were polled for them to the election in April , 1902 . The number of votes brought forward from the Spring elections was 5101 , and the number issued for this 92 , 266 , making a total
available of 97 , 3 6 7 votes , but the number of fresh votes passed by the Scrutineers was only 8 3 , 166 , and the number unused or spoilt 9100 .

THE ROYAL MASONIC INSTITUTION FOR HOYS —one other at No . 37 having been withdrawn from nomination under the " REACH " Presentation—took place at the Quarterly Court of Governors and Subscribers on Friday , ( he 1 ith instant ,
and , as will be seen from the figures we < uiote , the polling , as we have already admitted , was exceedingly heavy . The Worcestershire and Surrey lad , who had only this single chance of gaining admission into the School , and about whose success his friends seem lo have been determined
there should be no mistake , took the first place with 7137 votes , or more by upwards of 1300 than the 5 811 votes which were polled for No . 2 , who was also a "last chance , " and
had claims on Kent , Essex , and London . No . 3 , from Hertfordshire , had 555 1 votes recorded for him , and was closel y followed by a group of three candidates , of whom the boy from South Africa ( W . D . ) and Hants and the Isle of Wight increased his
