ROYAL MASONIC INSTITUTION FOR BOYS . To THE PATRONS , VICE-PATRONS , VICE-PRESIDENTS , AND LIKE-GOVERNORS OF THE ROYAL M ASONIC INSTITUTION FOR Boys . Evershot , Dorchester , 24 th June , 1 S 90 . MY LORDS , LADIES , AND BRETHREN , I regret to inform you that , although the Provisional Management Committee stated to me that my " qualifications vvere so strong that they could not well be strengthened , " yet a majority of that Committee did not see their way to recommend me to your suffrages . This places me at a great disadvantage , but supported as I am by such a numerous and distinguished body of influential Brethren , both in London and the Provinces , including amongst others the Provincial Grand Masters and other heads of the Provinces of Cambridge , Cornwall , Cumberland and Westmorland , Dorset , Durham , Hants and the Isle of Wight , Jersey , Norfolk , Oxford , Suffolk , North and East Yorkshire , North Wales , and South Wales ( West ) , I cannot but feel that it is due to my supporters , no less than to myself , that I should proceed with my candidature , and at once announce my firm intention of going to the Poll . While it is not for me to judge of the reasons which actuated the ultimate decision arrived at by a majority of the Provisional Management Committee , yet my Committee feel most strongly that a Candidate who has the active support of so many Patrons , Vice-Patrons , Vice-Presidents , and Life-Governors of the Institution , including no less than 13 Provincial Grand Masters , should at least have been allowed to go to the Poll as eligible without being handicapped for want of a certificate of eligibility accorded to four other Candidates . I feel I can rely on the large number of votes already promised , and I trust that the Voters as yet unpledged , especially in those Provinces vyhose rulers have accorded me their support , vvill evince their approval of the course vvhich I have felt bound to adopt , by recording their votes in my favour . I have the honour to be , Your obedient servant , S . R . BASKETT . The Voting will be by proxy on Ballot Papers { which each voter will shortly receive ) , and they should be immediately signed and forwarded to the Honorary Secretary of my Committee , Bro . W . D . DUGDALE , Evershot , Dorchester .

Masonic Notes .

We have been requested to state that owing to the resignation of Bro . J . D . Langton , who has acted as Honorary Secretary to the Provisional Management Committee of the Royal Masonic Institution for Boys since the election of that body , the duties of Honorary Secretary to the Committee are now undertaken b y Bro . Stanley J . Attenborough , W . M . 2348 , of No . 10 , New Inn , London , W . C , to whom all communications should be addressed . j * * Several of the Continental journals , as well as those specially devoted to Masonry , have announced that the Government of Portugal has dissolved all Masonic lodges and bodies , both at home and in the Portuguese Colonies . We are requested to emphatically contradict this announcement , and to state that it is utterly unfounded . The Grand Lodge of Portugal ancl all lodges under its jurisdiction or protection have in no way been affected by any act of the Government , and continue to enjoy its protection as fully and amply as at any former period .
