The already handsome roll of Stewards for the Centenary Festival of the Royal Masonic Institution for Girls grows apace , no less than fifty new names having been added during the past week , thus swelling the total to 1157 , of
whom fifteen are Provincial Grand Masters . This is a splendid record already , but Bro . Hedges and the other officials of the Institution are not content to let the matter rest . They hope to win the co-operation of all the
Provincial Grand Masters of England , and are working to secure a much larger roll of Stewards . That they will succeed in adding several more names to tho list we are convinced , and we can but express the hope that thoy will secure such further co-operation as will not only satisfy them but the Masonic World at large .
The numerous and very generona response to the appeal for Stewards at the forthcoming Festival of the Royal Masonic Institution for Girls has rendered it absolutely
necessary that the Executive Committee should obtain as much information as possible with a viow to affording such accommodation to the Stewards and their friends as lies
in their power . It will be impossible to provide places at the Banquet for more than the Stewards themselves and the distinguished guests , large as the dining space at the Albert Hall is : and therefore the Committee offer the next
best opportunity to the Stewards of enabling ladies and their Masonic friends to witness what they believe will be one of the grandest gatherings in the annals of Freemasonry . The Committee offer to each Steward Four Tickets for the
Festival on the 7 th June , at the price of 10 s 6 d each , which will admit a Lady or Brother to any part of the Hall above the Loggia or ground tier of boxes , which will
afford the opportunity of hearing the speeches ; and to the conservatory , where music and light refreshment will be provided free , as well as in the Hall . For the 4 th June , the day of the Distribution of Prizes , when the Recitals and Calisthenics will be given , a Ticket—not
transferablewill be supplied free to each Steward on application . The Committee also offer Four Tickets to each Steward at 5 s each , which will likewise include light refreshments . Application for these tickets must , however , be made not
later than Monday , 7 th May , as in the event of a Steward not availing himself of the invitation by that date , the Tickets will be appropriated to other Stewards as applied for .
The monthly meeting of the Board of Benevolence was held on Wednesday , the 18 th inst ., at Freemasons' Hall , Bro . Robert Grey in the chair . There were 53 applications for assistance , the total amount granted being
£ 1075 . Two cases were dismissed as not complying with the rules , and six were deferred , being incomplete . In one case the petitioner having died the night before , it could not be adjudicated upon .
The Masonic authorities of the Province have accepted an invitation conveyed to them by the Town Clerk of Bristol , to lay the foundation stone of the statue of the
Queen , in College Green , as they did the foundation stone of the High Cross , on 8 th August 1850 . The ceremony will take place on or about 1 st June , the intention being to unveil the statue on Coronation Day , 28 th June .
Several brethren of the Province of Bristol have been interesting themselves for some months past in the formation of a new Lodge . Permission has been granted , and the consecration will take place next month . The new Lodge will be named after the Deputy Provincial Grand Master .
It has been decided to establish a Lodge at Thorne , to be called the St . Oswald Lodge , George Dove , J . P ., to be the first Master .
His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales , the Grand Mark Master , has granted a warrant of constitution for the establishment of a new Lodge of Mark Master Masons , to be formed at Crowle , Isle of Axholme , Lincolnshire , to be called the St . Oswald ' s Lodge .
