Masonic Notes.

Masonic Notes .

We are glad to find that , as the day approaches for celebrating the anniversary Festival of the Royal Masonic Institution for Boys , the number of ladies and brethren who purpose giving their services as Stewards on the occasion is steadily on the increase , and it is by no means improbable that when these lines come under the notice of our readers , the Board will number 500 members . That is very gratifying and inclines us to hope that ultimately the Board of Stewards will be equal , or very nearly equal , in point of strength to that of last year . Of course it does not follow that there will bc an equality in the totals of

donations and subscriptions obtained at the two Festivals . We naturally hope it will be the case ; in fact , we do not suppose any one will be very seriously chagrined if it turns out that the figures for 1804 have been exceeded by those for the current year . But however sanguine people may desire to be when they learn that the Stewards are increasing and multiplying so

rapidly , they must bear in mind that Cheshire , albeit a strong Province , and on such occasions as these certain to be swayed by the most generous impulses , is not so strong as West Yorkshire , "theChairman's Province " in 1894 . Cheshire may be relied upon to do well , but it would be out of all reason to expect lhat it should achieve the same result as a Province which is stronger by some 30 lodges .
