Masonic Notes .

In reference to the announcement by the Chairman of the total of the Stewards' lists at the Festival of the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution on Wednesday evening , we are requested to state that the amount of

£ 59 * 593 15 s -. was a clerical error . Thc actual sum was .- £ 60 , 013 15 s . Seeing that the lists came pouring in up to the very last , moment this is not much to be wondered at . Further lists to come in will no doubt add a considerable sum even to this large amount .

The Board of Management of the Royal Masonic Institution for Boys availed themselves of the opportunity afforded by the great influx of Freemasons from the Provinces , on the occasion of the Jubilee Festival of the R . M . B . I . on Wednesday last , by issuing a circular inviting subscribers to the Institution ,

accompanied by ladies and friends , to visit the School at Wood Green on Wednesday . A goodly number availed themselves of the privilege , and were very favourably impressed with the excellent arrangements and the improved surroundings of the Institution . * * *

The Committee of the Girls' School , too , were possessed with the same idea , and the result was a very enjoyable afternoon at Clapham on Thursday . Thc calisthenic exercises , & c , at which the children of the Girls' School are so proficient , afforded the utmost gratification to those who had journeyed to thc School ,

and the visitors left with the feeling which all who visit this admirable Institution acquire , that it is one of the best , if not the very best , Institution of its kind , and worthy in every respect of the confidence and support of the Craft . * * »

We regret to learn that the much-respected Deputy Provincial Grand Master of Nottinghamshire , Bro . Rev . F . Vernon Bussell , M . A ., Past Grand Chaplain , died on Sunday last , the 21 st inst . The funeral took place yesterday ( Thursday ) , and was attended by a large number of brethren of the Province . We hope to give some particulars of our deceased brother ' s Masonic career in our next .

* * * By command of the Prov . Grand Master of Cumberland and Westmorland , a Provincial Gr . ind Lodge will be held at Maryport on Tuesday , ist March ; also the Provincial Grand Chapter will be held the same day , under the banner of the Nicholson Chapter . No . 371 .

A special Provincial Grand Mark Lodge of Middlesex and Surrey was held at the Criterion , Piccadilly , on Friday last , the 19 th instant , to commemorate the 21 st year of the constitution of the province under the genial

rule during the whole of that period of the Provincial Grand Master , Bro . Col . Sir Francis Burdett , Bart . Bro . Brighten , Provincial Grand Secretary , read a short history of the Provincial Grand Lodge since its formation , which was ordered to be printed .

» » * A Committee , of which Bro . Capt . Knightley , P . P . G . O ., was President , and Bro . W . A . Scurrah , P . P . G . Reg ., Hon . Secretary , had been formed to present an address to Sir Francis , the terms of which will be found

in our report of the proceedings . It was handed to the Provincial Grand Master in a silver-gilt casket which bore a suitable inscription . Col . Cook performed this pleasant duty in a most suitable speech , which Sir Francis Burdett as suitably acknowledged .

Another large fine autograph case , costing over $ 300 , has lately been added to the Iowa Masonic Library for the Parvin collection of autograph letters and manuscripts . As each of these several cases contain about 150 good-sized fiat drawers , with glass

covers , some idea of the vast collection may be gained when one thinks of the space ^ his number of drawers covers . Contributions of rare old letters and manuscripts would be most thankfully received at the Iowa Masonic Library for this collection .
