Masonic Notes .

The final meeting of the Board of Stewards for the recent Festival of the Royal Masonic Institution for Boys was held at Freemasons' Hall on Friday , the igth instant . The several accounts were presented , approved , and ordered to be paid , and votes of

thanks and congratulation to Lord Egerton of Tatton , Prov . Grand Master of Cheshire , for his kindness and success in presiding , and of thanks to the different officers of the Board having been passed by acclamation , the Board was dissolved , and the brethren dispersed .

* * * It was stated in the course of the proceedings that the total of donations and subscriptions amounted to . £ 20 , 598 , the very considerable increase over the figures announced at Brighton being accounted for , partly by an unusually large influx of additional moneys in the shape of lists previously outstanding ,

and additions to lists , and partly by the omission irom the gross total of £ 18 , 773 , as given at Brighton , of the sum paid for the "Eastes Perpetual Presentation . " Credit was given to Kent for this sum both in the Stewards' Lists and the Analysis of the Returns , but it had not been taken into account in determining the Grand Total .
