THE MASONIC M 1 EEGR
ROYAL FREEMASONS ? GIRLS' SCHOOL . A Quarterly Court of the Governors and Subscribers to this Institution was held at the offices , 16 a , Great Queen-street , on Thursday , 9 th of March , Bro . Beaumont in the chair . The reports of the various Committees ' were read by the Sec ., Bro . E . Grew , and approved . In accordance with the recommendation of the General Committee , it was unanimously resolved , that the seven approved
applicants for admission into the school be accepted , there being the same number of vacancies , and the necessity of an election therefore fortunately obviated -the formal induction of the seven children to take place under the auspices of the House Committee , at its meeting of the 23 rd . The Audit Committee reported that the balance in the bankers' hands amounted to ^ 768 , and the disbursements
for the quarter to £ 402 . This being the day for the election of thirty annual subscribers to serve on the General Committee ^ twelve Brethren were nominated to supply the vacancies caused by the same number retiring , and there being no opposition , they were declared duly elected , together with the eighteen who had consented to continue their services .

Crew . We desire , however , to see its funds restored to the amount at which they stood previous to the building operations , and have little doubt that this " consummation so devoutly
to be wished " will ere long be realized . Indeed , we are sanguine enough to believe , that the result of the approaching Anniversary Festival will in no small degree contribute to the fulfilment of the object in view . Great exertions are being used to celebrate this anniversary with becoming eclat , and we are now in a position to speak positively as to the musical and other arrangements , which we are sure will be of a character to leave nothing uncared for that can promote comfort , yield enjoyment ., and insure success . We again direct attention to the announcement in our first page .
