Masonic Notes .

Very considerable progress was made last week with the preparations for the Jubilee of the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution . The celebration has been fixed

for Wednesday , the 24 th February—the day on which the annual Festival is ordinaril y held—and it is quite on the cards that before these lines are seen by our

readers , the locality will also have been determined upon . As regards the Board of Stewards , the number of brethren who have volunteered their services is not

far short of 1100 ; the precise number | at the time of going to press being 1080 . When Bro . Terry spoke al the entertainment to the Old Folks at Croydon on the , 6 th

inst ., the number , as . given b y him , was 919 , so that the increase in the fortnight which has since elapsed is even greater than might have been expected .

As regards the distribution of the Stewards between town and country , the fluctuations as between the two are so frequent that it would be impossible to state the

precise number enrolled under each category . We know , however , that the representation of London is exceptionally strong , and that nearly everyone of the

Provinces has sent up Stewards . We trust that all will do so before the list is closed , and the lodges generally will contribute to , if they are not represented at the Festival . Many ,, indeed , will send up a whole string

of representatives , our friend the Athol Lodge , No . 74 , Birmingham , which , thanks to the zeal of Bro . James Moffat , one of its members , has acted similarl y on previous occasions , being one of the number .
