rriHE annual visit of the Board of Stewards to the Institution 1 at Wood Green is appointed to take place on Tuesday next , 23 rd insfc ., on which occasion the prizes will be distributed by Her Grace the Duchess of Devonshire . Those who hold tickets are requested to take their seats in the Assembly Hall , by 2 * 45 p . m .

D'Oyly Carte , Esq ., while after tea the pupils will give a Gymnastic display . Special fares have been arranged from Kings Gross Station of the Great Northern Railway for holders of invitation cards .

We anticipate there will be a very large gathering of friends of the Institution , indeed , the difficulty which the Board of Management have to face is how to provide for the many who desire to pay a visit to the School on this occasion , not only with the idea of deriving some amount of amusement from , the programme provided , but also to view the Institution itself , and judge of the progress made by its pupils .
