THE ROYAL MASONIC INSTITUTIONS .

R . M . I . B . —AVe have much pleasure in publishing the following ¦ official statement as a satisfactory evidence of careful tuition and training : —University Local Examination , Cambrielge , December , 1888 ; Honours—2 nd Class : A . Blunt , J . P . Seagrave , and J . P . Templeman ; 3 rd Class : F . F . Coleman , II . R . Graves , F . A . Herring ; anel the folloAving satisfied the examiners : S . II . Bevis , J .

Bloomfield . S . AV . Gibson , F . AV . Lewis , N . McCaskie , J . Shaw , L . Taylor , and J . E . AValters . There Avere nineteen candidates sent up , and fourteen passed , six with honours and eight to satisfaction of examiners . The report is signed by Bro . Morris , the head master , who with his staff is to be congratulated on the favourable result of the examination .

R . M . I . G . —AA . Bro . Lord Henniker , Provincial Grand Master for Suffolk , has undertaken the eluties of Chairman at the forthcoming festival of this Institution , to be held on AA ednesday , 2 nd May , and we shall hope to find that not only by his province , but generally throughout the craft , he will be w * ell supported . Notwithstanding the exceptionally large contribution at the Centenary Festival of this institution last A'ear . there are abundant reasons , and some of

even more importance than heretofore , why the stewards' lists on the 2 nd prox . should total to nearly if not epiite as much as in the years immediately preceding the centcnerary celebration . For one thing , it is proposed to increase at next clect : < n the number of pupils and inmates by so many as twenty , and that in itself will add materially to the coining year ' s requirements . AVith all this on our mind Ave cannot , howeA er , refrain from adding , JSrethren , don't forget the boys in June !
