* ANALYSIS OF THE RETURNS There is no need for any introduction to a list of Returns which , as our readers can determine for themselves , contains such a formidable array of big figures . It will be enough if we state that the Board of Stewards mustered 390 , and that the total they raised was . £ 10 , 511 7 s ., or within a very little short of £ 5000 more than was subscribed for the Festival of 1895 . As for the part played by

LONDON , we may state at once , that the 158 ladies and brethren who took the interests of the lodges it contains under their charge , rais ; d a total of £ 9492 73 . 6 d . —the highest , and far away trie highest , of the individual Returns being that of Bro , Charles L . Nelson , who , as representative of the Merchant Navy Lodge , No . 7 81 , had the satisfaction of compiling a total amounting to £ 1074 183 . 6 d . It is not

the first , and , we trust , it will not be the last , time that this lodge has secured the honour of heading the list of Returns . At . the JubileeFestival , in 1892 , on behalf of this Institution , the brethren who represented it , compiled a very large sum , amounting , if we remember rightly , to upwards of £ 1100 , the foremost of the Stewards being Bro . T . B . Daniel ! , whose list of £ 7 81 corresponded with the number of the lodge on the roll of Grand Lodge . The second

place fell to Bro . Edward Terrv , P . G . Treas ., who handed in £ 510 10 s ., and the third p lace to Bro . Whadcoat , Steward for the Royal Athelstan Lodge , No . 19 , whose list amounted to £ 300 . Bro . A . E . Skinner , representing Old Dundee Lodge , No . 18 , was close up with £ 28655 . 6 U , and then , but at a longish interval , appear the lists of Bro . C . R . Allan , All Saints Lodge , No . 1716 , and Bro . James Terry , the Secretary of the Institution , who acted as Steward for one of the

many lodges in London with which he is associated—the Highgate , N 0 . 1366—the list of the former being for £ 188 13 s ., and that of the latter for £ 187 15 s . Three lodges follow next in order , the totals of whose lists differ butslightly in amount , that of Bro , Geo . W . Todd , as Steward for the Kent Lodge , amounting to £ 175 , that of Bro . George Parrett , Duke of Edinburgh Lodge , No . 1259 , for £ 174 16 s . 6 d ., and that of Bro . W . Harvey , representing the Lodge of Sincerity , No . 174 for £ 174 . Bro . ] . \ V . Reep , of the John Harvey Lodge , stood next with

, £ 154 7 s ., but was closely followed by Bro . E . W . Carter , of the South Middlesex Lodge , No . 858 , with £ 148 is . The next in order was Bro . C . J . R . Tijou , Past Asst . Grand Purst ., who did duty for two lodges , the Coborn Lodge , No . 1804 , and the newly - organised Benevolentia Lodge , No . 2549 , and had the pleasure of compiling £ 122 6 s . 6 d ., Bro . E . Hill , Denneyof the Mizpah LodgeNo . 1671 , raising £ 121 . The three brethren who

, , followed raised each of them donations and subscriptions amounting to £ 115 10 s ., namely , Bro . Fred . Thomas , of the St . Luke ' s Lodge , No . 144 ; Bro . Moss Chapman , of the Beadon Lodge , No . 6 i 9 ; and Mrs . W . S " . Penley , who kindly took upon herself the responsibility of representing the Asaph Lodge , No . 1319 . Bro . F . H . B . Riddle , of the Phoenix Lodge , No . 173 , raised £ 113 8 s ., and Bro . Geo . E . Wilkinson , of the Lodge of Loyalty , No . 1607 , £ 110 , while Bro . G . T .

Kinipple , of Prosperity Lodge , No . 65 , and Comp . W . B . Heagarty , of the Roy . il Albert Chapter , No . 907 , were close up with £ 109 ns . 6 d . and £ 109 4 s . respectively . Then we find a further group , headed by Bro . W . H . Bailey , of the Lodge of Fellowship , No . 2535 , and G . Treas . nominate , with £ 105 10 s . 6 d ., and closely followed by Bro . H . S . Syer , of Union Waterloo Lodge , No . 13 , with £ 105 5 s . 6 d . and Bro . J . F . SaundersMetropolitan Lodge , No . 1507 , and Bro . W . C . Smith ,

, of the Chough Lodge , No . 2264 , each of whom had the pleasure of obtaining 100 guineas . The remaining three figure lists are those of Bro . W . Collis Clark , of the Clerkenwell Lodge , No . 1964 , for £ 101 17 s . ; Bro . H . Wilkinson , Hig h Cross Lodge , No . 7 S 4 , for £ 100 16 s . ; Bro . W . Bradford , of the Whittington Lodge , No . 862 , for £ 100 3 s . 6 d . ; and Bro . A . H . Bevan , of the

Friends-in-Council Lodge , No . 1383 , for £ 100 . This is a greater number of lists containing sums amounting to £ 100 and upwards than has been returned for several Festivals , while the top list of all , for £ 1074 18 s . 6 d ., exceeds anything as far as we are able to call to mind , which has ever previously been compiled by a London Steward , the nearest approach being that of Bro . Oscar Philippe , for the Girls' School , " » 1894 , for ^ 1050 .
