ROYAL LONDON OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL , BLOMEIELD STREET , MOORFIELDS , E . C . The Committee earnestly appeal to the Benevolent for Help to raise A SPECIAL FUND TO REBUILD This most necessary Hospital . How immensely the Hospital is appreciated may be seen from the following figures for the past year : — New Out-Patients treated , 25 , 558 . In-Patients „ 1 , 892 . The total attendances of Out-Patients were 109 , 756 , and 2126 operations were performed , in many instances restoring their sight to those who had been deprived of it . All Patients are admitted free and without letters of recommendation , necessity being the one credential . The necessity for the erection of a New Building is most urgent , as the accommodation at present is totally inadequate to the ever-increasing calls upon its resources . Contributions to the Building Fund and Annual Subscriptions will be thankfully received by J DEACON , Esq ., Treasurer and Trustee at the banking house of Messrs . WILLIAMS , DEACON , and Co ., 20 , Birchin-lane , and at the Hospital by ROBERT J . NEWSTEAD , Secretary .

Masonic Notes .

The final meeting of the Board of Stewards for the recent Festival of thc Royal Masonic Institution for Boys will be held at Freemasons' Hall to-day ( Friday ) , at S p , m- The various accounts will be submitted and approved , and when votes of thanks to the several officers have been passed , the Board will be dissolved . * , ?

The James Terry Chapter , No . 2372 , was consecrated at the Cheshunt Hall , Cheshunt , Hertfordshire , on Wednesday , the presiding Principals being Comps . George E . Lake , Prov . G . H . ; C . B . Cooper , Prov . G . J . ; and C . E . Keyser , G . S . B ., P . P . G . J . ; while Comp . James Terry acted as D . C . The ceremony

was very ably performed by Comp . Lake , and Comp . Keyser delivered a most eloquent oration . As the Principals designate wcre all of them installed First Principals , they were merely inducted into their respective chairs , Comp . Terry being M . E . Z . ; Comp . R . F . Brickdale , P . Z . 1623 , H . ; and Comp . James Knight , P . Z . 1 74 , J . At the conclusion of the

proceedings , a vote of thanks was unanimously accorded to the presiding Principals , who were at the same time elected honorary members of the new-born chapter , an additional compliment being paid to Comp . Lake in the shape of a founder's jewel The usual banquet followed , and from the genial feeling displayed , there is every reason to believe the chapter will be a successful one . It has our best wishes .

# # # This increases the number of chapters on thc roll of Provincial Grand Chapter of Hertfordshire to seven , and is the third which has been consecrated within the

last three or four years—the Cecil having been warranted in 1889 , the Halsey last year , and the James Terry this week—so that tliere is now a Royal Arch chapter to every three lodges , which is by no means a bad proportion .

The new hall erected by the brethren of the Amberley Lodge , No . 2007 , E . G ., at Amberley , N . Z ., was consecrated on the ioth May last , by Bro . P . Cunningham , District G . M ., who was assisted by Bros . R . D . Thomas , D . D . G . M . ; J . Forest , S . W . ; T . S . Foster , J . W . ; and others . The new room

measures 40 feet by 20 feet and has a lobby and retiring room adjoining . It has been well fitted and furnished in excellent taste , and we trust our Amberley brethren will find themselves the stronger and the better able to carry out their Masonic duties now that they have more commodious premises at their disposal .
