ROYAL MASONIC INSTITUTION FOR GIRLS

THE House Committee having , as soon aa the result of fche last Cambridge Local Examination was known , and afc the instigation of the Head Governess , accorded to those children who went np ( and of whom it will be remembered 18 out of 20 passed ) au entire day ' s treat away from tho School , the same came off on Friday , 14 th inst . Windsor waa selected , firstly on account of its beauty , secondly of its

historical associations , and thirdly because none of the 20 girls had ever been there . Train waa taken from Clapham Junction at 9 * 30 , and Windsor reached about 10 ' 45 . After seeing the State Apartmenta , St . George ' s Chapel , the Memorial Chapel , & c . & o . & o ., all dined together at the Castle Hotel , and then drove through the Park and

Forest to Virginia Water , where a capital tea had been provided . After enjoying the beauties of that lovely place they all drove in the cool of the evening through Egham , Englefield Green , and Old Windsor to Datchet , where the train waa again taken and home safely reached afc 945 , after a most enjoyable day , and one that will

be remembered by them for many years to como as a red letter day . The children wore of course accompanied by Miss Davis , the Head Governess , and Miss Buck , the Matron ; Miss Redgrave , the first Assistant Governess , aud Miss Mary Norrish , one of the teachers ,

the two who had had most to do in training the children for this examination , also went , aud the whole party were under the care of Bros . Frank Richardson and J . H . Matthews , two active members of the House Committee , fco whom a very great deal of the day ' s ¦ access is justly dne .

The final meeting of the Board of Stewards for the recent Fesfciva of tho Royal Masonic Institution for Girla was held at Freemasons ' Hall , on Monday afternoon , Bro . Peter de Lando Long , the President of the Board , being in the chair . The various accounts were submitted , approved , and passed for payment . Tho customary gratuities ,

but on a reduced scale , in consequence of tho smallness of tho festival , than usual , wero voted to those who assisted io preparing for , and on the day of , the celebration . It was further resolved tha *; tho usual sum of fifty guineas ( £ 52 10 s ) should be devoted to the cost of treating the school to a visit to the Crystal Palace—a practice which

has been observed by successive Boards of Stewards for several years past . The balance , however , did not allow of more than this behig done , and consequently no sum was voted as a donation to the funds

of the Institution , as was done at the Centenary Festival last year , when out of the balance remaining from the Stewards' Fees 280 guineas ( £ 291 ) wero presented to tho Institution . A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings .

An interesting feature iu connection with the Rojal Masonic Institution for Girls will be thafc of Saturday next , the 29 fch insfc ., when Ex-Pupils' Day will be celebrated .

All ex-pupils are cordially invited to attend , afc Battersea Rise , and we are assured a largo number of " Old Girls " will take advantage of the opportunities thus offered to renew acquaintanceship ,

The Daily Telegraph says , Thafc those members of tho National Liberal Club who are Freemasons are proposing that thoy should have a Lodge of their own , and an in * formal meeting io consider the suggestion of petitioning

tho Prince of Wales to grant a warrant for the purpose will be held in the terrace room of the club at half-past eight next Tuesday evening , when Mr . Croxden Powell , who is a member of the Liverpool Dramatic Lodge , No . 1609 , will make a statement to the brethren . As the club is situated afc Whitehall it is thought that a suitable

name for the Lodge would be the Whitehall Lodge
