already taken part in two elections , and now has 51 votes to her credit—a number which will no doubt receive necessary augmentation when the child's turn for her Province ' s support comes round . No . 58 , Julia Elizabeth Clark , has 203 votes to her credit as the outcome of her candidature
in April last . She is one of two children dependent on their mother , the widow of a brother initiated in 1873 , in the Stability Lodge , No . 217 , London . No . 4 , Eleanor Julia Sutton , follows very closely , with 202 votes . This

St . Luke ' s Lodge , No . 144 , London , in 1878 ; he rose to the position of its Worshipful Master , an office he filled at the time of his death , which occurred in 1884 . One special feature which entitles this case to favourable consideration
is the fact that the father , during his lifetime , was an occasional subscriber to the Girls' School : we hope this may have its effect on those of the subscribers who have not already pledged their votes , and that it may be the
means of securing for the child a few of those necessary to ensure her early admission to the Institution . No . 8 , Alene Mary Norman , is an only child dependent on a widowed mother . Her father was
