In some of the pieces twelve performers were engaged at the same time ¦ on four pianos , hut nothing could exceed the most complete ¦ unit y of their performances , and showed the great care that had hoeu taken in their musical trainingThe whole of these
-. per formances wore received with the most enthusiastic applause , unci those who were present for the first time , expressed the deiignt they had experienced in being there , with a promise tnat no future occasion should occur without a repetition of their visit . It is a sight that every Freemason ought to be proud of , aud it is to be hoped that those resident in London who have not had the enjoyment of witnessing the effects of
the bounty of the Craft in its most interesting aspect , will not allow another opportunity to pass without doing so . The company then proceeded to the school-room , where the recitations b y the pupils were to be given ancl the prizes distributed . The Bight Hon . Lord Kenlis , Prov . G .

Tho musical performances were greatly enhanced by two new pianofortes expressly provided for the occasion by Bro . Collard Moutrie , of Southampton Row , Russell Square . They were greatly admired for their touch ancl quality of tone . Miss Davis here again took her place to superintend these performances .
Annie G . Winter recited Sonthey's poem of "The Battle of Blenheim , " and nothing could exceed tho excellent way iu which the childlike inquiries wore put to an aged man as to the reason why so many men could go into a field to kill each other , aud the uniform answer that " was given to them that it was a " great victory , " , and that sucii sacrifices must be made . At the conclusion there was very general cheering . Augusta Maud Dickens thenwith great judgmentrecited

" This was followed by a recitation hy Ellen Blanche Honty , "A Lesson of Faith , " by Mrs . Gatty , being a supposed conversation between
a butterfly , a caterpillar , and a lark , in which some excellent moral lessons are inculcated . She was rewarded at the close with loud and hearty applause . This young lady last year made a great impression upon the audience by her recitation of Tennyson ' s poem of "Tlie . May Queen , " and helper formnnce this year has added to her high reputation as an elocutionist , for every word received its full force and emphasis . Emily Redgrave recited Macaulay ' s "Horatins , " with , if anything , superior ability to her rendering of tlie same piece last year , and it won for ' her loud acclamations .
The presentation of tho prizes to the successful candidates then took place . _ The first one called upon to receive honours upon this occasion was Emily Redgrave , who stands first in position in the school for general proficiency .

At the conclusion of the distribution of prizes , the Chairman congratulated the children on their proficiency in obtaining the prizes , and said he should feel great pleasure in attending on any future occasion . Bro . Udall proposed a vote of thanks to Lord Kenlis for taking the chair , which was carried unanimously . Lord Kenlis briefly acknowledged . The company then retired for tea and a cold collationand
, , on reassembling in the exercising-hall , they had the gratification of witnessing a further proof of Miss Davis's triumphs in the training of the children , who there went through their calisthenic exercises . They entered the hall in two columns , to the air of '' Partant pour la Syrie , " in marching order , ancl with great precision formed into squires open and solid , and went through a variety of evolutions with an accuracy that perfectly
astonished some of those belonging to volunteer corps who were present , and one captain of volunteers privately said that he only wished the men of his corps were as efficient in their drill as the children he saw before him , and then he would have nothing to complain of . Several songs aud choruses were sung by the children , concluding with " God save the Queen . " This terminated tho business of the day , but the rest of the evening was devoted to dancing by the guests ancl children , which was carried on with great spirit- till past ten o ' clock , when the visitors retired , highly delighted with the treat they had receiveci .
In concluding this notice we cannot but congratulate the committee on the success of the Institution , and especially so in having at the head of it a lady so eminently qualified for tho multifarious duties as Miss Davis . When it is considered that she is the responsible instructor of 105 children iu so many branches of study , including the French language , music , and calisthenics , tlie task appears almost herculean ; but there is no doubt that her duties arc considerably lightened by the
cheerfulness and kindly spirit in which they are performed , aud it is to be hoped that for many years the Institution may have the benefit of her services . At the same time we ought not to omit to mention the courteous , able , and painstaking exertions of Bro . Patten , the secretary , to do all he can to promote the benefit of the School ; and the indefatigable care and attention of the house committee , of which Bro . Udall is a worthy representative ; aud it is to be hoped that the coming festival will enable them to carry out with equal efficiency in the future what thev have so worthily done in the past .
