Quarterly Court And Election Of The Girls' School.
QUARTERLY COURT AND ELECTION OF THE GIRLS' SCHOOL .
THE usual October meeting of the supporters of the Royal Masonic Institution for Girls was held last Saturday , in the Large Hall of Freemasons' Tavern , under the pi'esidency of Bro . Horace B . Marshall , Past Grand
Treasurer . The minutes of previous meetings , including those of the Special Court on the 6 th inst ., were first confirmed . In putting the latter , the Chair man said , before he asked the brethren to confirm these minutes , he
thought he ought to state that at a very crowded meeting of the Governors of the Institution , on the Gth inst ., the recommendation was ably set forth by Bro . Robert Grey , and it was unanimously carried . This recommendation
was not adopted by the House Committee without much negociation with the vendor , and exhaustive discussions . It was quite true they were going to pay a large price for this piece of land , and it was equally true that the value of
the property of the vendor would be enhanced by the acquisition of the property by the Institution ; but it was also true that it was of great importance to the Institution that this belt of land should be secured , and , while
congratulating the Court of Governors on the unanimity with which . they accepted the recommendation so ably set ; forth by Bro . Grey , he asked the present Quarterly Court to confirm as cordially the resolution of the Special
Court . The confirmation was unanimously agreed to , Bro . R . Grey P . G . D . said the Chairman had told the brethren very truly that the House Committee had had
very anxious meetings with regard to the purchase of this land ; but he did not think he should be doing justice to two brethren—Bros . Arthur Garrard and J . T .
Pilditchif he allowed the occasion to pass without offering them the thanks of the Court for the kindness and assistance they had given the House Committee in carrying the negotiations to a successful issue . These brethren had stepped
in , when the negotiations required the best skill and diplomacy , and he therefore moved that a hearty vote of thanks be given by the Court to Bros . Garrard and Pilditch . Bro . Frank Richardson seconded the motion
feeling sure it would meet with hearty support . These two brethren had given great assistance to the Committee . The motion was carried , and the Secretary was directed to communicate the resolution to Bros . Garrard and Pilditch .
The Court then proceeded to declare an extra vacancy for the Election that day , in consequence of the withdrawal from the Institution of Beatrice Elizabeth Wright , and it was resolved to elect seventeen girls into
the School out of a list of thirty-three candidates . Brother Johnson , on behalf of Bro . A . H . Tattershall , moved , " That the meetings of the General Committee commence at 5 o ' clock p . m . instead of 4 o ' clock p . m ., and
that the laws be altered accordingly . " The motion having been seconded , was supported by Bro . J . J . Berry , opposed by Bros . Frank Richardson , H . Maudslay , and J . E .
Le Feuvre , and lost by a large majority . The election was then proceeded with . The list of successful candidates will be found in our advertisement columns , while the following is a list of the unsuccessful : —
