Masonic Notes .

The annual meeting of the Provincial Grand Lodge of East Lancashire will take place in the Assembly Rooms , Mechanics' Institute , Manchester-road , Burnley , on Wednesday , May 21 , at 3 o ' clock . The Prov . Grand Master , Bro . Col . Le Gendre N . Starkie , will preside .

Truth says that the next vacancy among the Queen ' s Chaplains in Ordinary will be filled up by the appointment of Bro . the Rev . Charles John Martyn , Rector of Long Melford , Suffolk . We offer the genial and popular Deputy Grand Master of Suffolk our congratulations on the honour intended to be conferred on him .

* * * The Old Masonians brought their season to a close by a very successful entertainment at Anderton ' s Hotel on Saturday evening , upwards of 180 members and friends being present . This association has now been

established four years , and shows every sign of increasing strength and vigour . We shall have something more to say about the entertainment next week , as well as the remarks of the Chairman , which are de « serving of consideration .

We are pleased to learn that the Board of Stewards for the approaching Festival of the Royal Masonic ! Institution for Girls has increased in number since our last report from 146 to 16 3 . This is a substantial improvement and likely to prove all the more valuable

from the fact of there being still ample time for the new Stewards to do their work of canvassing effectively , With seven clear weeks before them in which to look up their friends and likely supporters they ought to be able to compile good average lists .

* * * It is to be ^ regretted , however , that more representatives have not yet come forward from Middlesex for the purpose of supporting their Provincial Grand Master in his capacity of Chairman . We believe this

is the first occasion on which Bro . Sir Francis Burdett , Bart ., has taken upon himself this particular responsibility , and it is the more important , therefore , that he should be well backed up by his lodges . He is highly popular in his province , which he has governed with so

much ability and such conspicuous kindness for the last 21 years , and for this reason alone we shall hope to find him with a strong muster of Stewards to represent the " Chairman ' s " province , and a goodly array

of donations and subscriptions accorded to their credit . Middlesex did well at the Girls' Centenary when there was no such special inducement to its lodges and chapters as there is now , and we shall look to seeing it surpass its success on that occasion .

* * * We believe that out of its 39 lodges only some 14 or 15 lodges have as yet sent up Stewards to represent them . We trust this number will be more than doubled in the course of the next fortnight , or , at all

events , while there is yet a chance for the newcomers to compile good lists . Nor would it by any means be a bad plan if the R . A . chapters and the Middlesex Mark lodges bestirred themselves in the same direction . It is about time the Girls' School Festival began

to assume something of its ordinary proportions , and that the total of the Returns approached more nearl y to ^ 13 , 000 than ^ 10 , 000 . There are 20 more children in the School now than there were two years ago , and more money is , therefore , needed .

* * * In the long run , perhaps , we may find the efforts of the Girls' School executive rewarded with a Board of over 200 Stewards and a total of donations and subscriptions more nearly on a level with , £ 10 , 000 than it

was last year . But , under any circumstances , it is the bounden duty of the Middlesex lodges to support the Chairman of the day , who is their own chief , and , for

his own great merits , deserves to have a success recorded in his favour . The first meeting of the Board of Stewards will take place to-day ( Friday ) at Freemasons' Hall .
