Old Masonians.

OLD MASONIANS .

r pHERB are few gatherings in the " annual round" whioh afford ' more real "ratification to those who take an interest in our Mtsonio Institutions than on the occasion wh ^ n the "Old Boya " who h-ive receive ! their education at the Wool Green establishment are invited to assemble around the festive board , th ^ re to renew and perpetuate oil friendships . Thus , by the kind invitation of Bro .

Frederick Binckes P . G . Steward , Secretary and Vice-Patron of the Royal Masonic Institution for Boys , who admirably fills the post of President of the Association , a company of between forty and fifty of the former students of the School set down to an excellent repast , provided in Bro . Clemow ' s usual style , at Anderton's Hotel ,

Fleet-street . Bro . Binckes was supported by Bros . T . Dolliuga Bolton , M . P ., P . G . A . D . C , Patron : J . W . Woodall P . G . Treasnrer Vice-Patron , Jag . Moon Vice-Patron , Hy . Venn P . G . Steward Vice . President , W . Hopekirk Asst . G . Pursuivant , W . Paaa Vioe-Preaidenfc , W . A . Scurrah Vice-Patron , W . M . Stiles , G . P . Fe 3 ta

Vice-President , James Terry , R . Berridge , VV . W . Lee , VV . W . Morgan , and other friends . The gathering would in all probability have been much larger had not the date been fixed duriag Epsom week , and that the attendance of prominent brethren was needed at several other Masonic meetings held in the Metropolis on the same

evening . There were few , if any set speeches , the main object of the reunion being to re-unite the young men who had in former year 3 bem oomrades in the school-room and the play-ground , and who , in addition to the sound education imparted to them at the School , fitting them to obtain good positions in commercial life ,

entertain the strongest and most lasting affection for the old Institution and all who are associated with it 3 management . The appeai-ance of the young men was such as could not fail to be highly gratifying to Bro . Binckes and the other Masons present , for in the company they could discern the most tangible evidence of the

splendid training whioh had been conferred upon " the boys' b y the establishment over which Bro . the Rev . Dr . Morris now rale 3 with such zeal and ability at Wood Green . The guests were evidently delighted at meeting one another onoe more , under the genial presidency of their kind friend , Bro . Binckes , and it was abundantly

clear that the esteemed Secretary of the Institution was equally proud of his cheerful and happy " family . " The young men gave ample testimony na to their doing well in their respective avocations , and there can be no question that by their perpetuating old associations in this agreeable manner , and by cultivating an esprit de

corps amongst them , the " Old Boys" are enabled materially to advance each other ' s interests , and to work together for their mutual advantage . This is the spirit that has actuated similar associations , such as the " Old Blues , " the " Old Carthusians , " and other guilds , who continue to re-unite annually for the purposes of social amenity

and the interchange of friendly reminiscences . We trust this feature of the Old Masonians' gathering will increase as years roll on , and that the excellent spirit displayed by students who have received their start in life entirely through the munifioenoe of the Craft , will be strengthened and consolidated . The principal toasts were the

Old Masonions , the Royal Masonic Institutions for Boys , the Vice-Presidents , the Officers of the old Masonians , and the Chairman our President , the latter of which was received with especial enthusiasm . During the evening some excellent vocal and instrumental music was given , Mr . E . A . Morris presiding at the pianoforte . Amongst those

who contributed to the harmony were Mr . A . Watkins ( hon . sec ) , Mr . J . A . Richardson , Mr . C . D . Barrett , Mr . A . Pearson , Mr . L . H . Palmer , Mr . H . R . Williams , Mr . C . H . TJwina , Mr . A . H . Stephenson , and Mr . A . B . Whiteley . The gathering , which may best be described as a happy family party , was brought to a close at a reasonable hour by the singing of the National Anthem .
