The Festival Of The Girls' School.
THE FESTIVAL OF THE GIRLS' SCHOOL .
THE result of the 102 ncl Anniversary Festival of the Royal Masonic Institution for Girls , which was held on Tuesday , was of a most gratifying
character , and we have much pleasure in adding our congratulations to the many that have heen showered on the Institution after its latest success . A total of £ 11 , 010 14 s has heen realised , and a return to
something like old totals has now become an assured fact , after the supreme effort in connection with the Centenary , in 1888 . Among those qualified to form an opinion it was generally considered the Institution
would do well this year if it secured a five figure return , and as this has been realised , and exceeded by upwards of one thousand pounds , there is great rejoicing , and general satisfaction is expressed . The
success of Tuesday ' s meeting was brought about through the united efforts of 258 Stewards , of whom 120 represented Metropolitan Lodges , and the remainins 133 Provincial ones : the amounts sent UD being
£ 4 , 656 14 s 6 d from London , and £ 6 , 353 19 s 6 d from the Provinces . On this occasion we have , therefore , a larger return from country Lodge Stewards than from London ones , a division opposed
to the regular course in connection with the Masonic Festivals , where it is usual to see London contributing the larger part of the total . As compared with last year the result of this week ' s Festival compares
most favourably , it being more than twice the amount brought up in 1889 , when £ 5 , 354 15 s was announced . Taking the lists' as stated at the Festival , we find the following to be the respective
divisions;—Stewards . Aroonnt . £ s d Hoose Committee 13 432 17 0 London ( Lodges , & o . ) 78 3728 17 6 „ ( Unattached , & c . ) 29 495 0 0

From these figures it will be seen that the total has been secured by steady application throughout the country , rather than by any special outburst in a particular quarter , such as was often met with at the
Festivals a matter of ten or fifteen years since , when the Craft looked for something very special , either from the Province of the Chairman , or from some other quarter . True , we have this year a four figure total
from Sir Francis Bnrdett's district of Middlesex , and every supporter of the Institution will join in the congratulations showered on the Masons of that Province at the honourable position its members
have secured by placing it at the head of the Provinces . After carefully casting and recasting the figures supplied by the Institution , we find a deficiency of
£ 100 , but as there are doubtless some additions to be made to the returns prepared at the Festival we are justified in looking forward to a total of £ 11 , 000 , at least , as the outcome of the Festival of the Eoval
Masonic Institution for Girls for the year 1890 . This amount , with the interest on invested funds and other items of regular income , will make matters of finance pretty easy for the next twelve months , and
it is reasonable to expect at no very distant date some such extension of the Institution ' s benefits as was contemplated when the Centenary occurred will
be carried into effect . We are very pleased the Festival has had such a satisfactory issue , and hope that future gatherings may be equally beneficial , both for the charity and for those it is specially intended to benefit .

possessed during the 50 years of her reign . Her Majesty was always well received , not only in England , but when she went abroad . All Englishmen would be glad to see ber reign prolonged for many years to come . In giving the second toast , the Chairman said that the PriDCe of Wales would be as well received as the former toast . In the Prince of Wales Masons had one who had now served them as
G . Master for a considerable number of years . Daring that lime he had exerted himself for the benefit of the Order , and the Order had increased in a most wonderfnl and extraordinary manner . The next toast was one of considerable importance .

to consult on any matter conneoted with the Order , they were always ready to come and perform their duties in Grand Lodge . The Earl of Carnarvon the Pro Grand Master , and the Earl of Lathom the Deputy Grand Master , were brethren who performed their duties to the satisfaction of every one in Grand Lodge .
