OUR PORTRAIT GALLERY OF WORSHIPFUL MASTERS . In future numbers of the Freemason we purpose giving a series of portraits of Worshipful Masters who have been recently installed . Recognising the fact that no greater honour can be bestowed on 2 brother than to be elected the Master of his lodge , we

desire to do our part towards creating a permanent record of such event in his Masonic history by placing his portrait before our readers . We shall be pleased to furnish Secretaries of lodges and others who may take an interest in our project whatever information may be desired as to our proposed method of procedure .

Masonic Notes.

Masonic Notes .

From what we hear of the constitution of the Board of Stewards which is working for the Girls' School Festival on the 17 th inst ., we are strongly inclined to think the prospects of a liberal return are encouraging , and that the highest total subscribed during the four

years that have followed the Centenary will on this occasion be exceeded . We do not propose to worry our readers with a series of elaborate calculations , but there are just a few facts within our cognisance which may be cited in support of our favourable anticipations .

» » * Firstly , there are some 50 or 60 more brethren acting as Stewards this year than there were last . Then there is a substantial improvement in the number of London lodges which will be represented ; and , lastly , the Provinces appear to have resumed something like

their old form . Mere numbers are not a trustworthy guide j but seeing the Stewards have not been so heavily handicapped as they were in 1893 , when the Benevolent Jubilee attracted so large an amount of donations and subscriptions , we are not too sanguine when we suggest that last year ' s low average ot £ 30 per Steward will be exceeded 10 days hence .

# * # . As regards the Provinces , much cannot be expected from the Chairman's Province , because it is far from being a strong one ; but we know Northants and Hunts will do its devoirs manfully , while it is an open secret that West Yorkshire will be numerously

represented and return a goodly sum . Thus , without committing ourselves to any definite statement , we look forward to a Return which will approach , if it does not equal , the average of the years preceding the Centenary . We earnestly hope the brethren will do their

utmost towards helping to bring about a realisation of our hopes , because the School is sorely in need of funds . As we remarked last week , since 18 SS it has had a succession of bad harvests , and even a partial return of the old prosperity will help to put things straight again .

* * * The Royal Pavilion , Brighton , will be the scene of a grand Templar function on Saturday , the 27 th insti , when H . R . H . the Duke of Connaught will be installed Provincial Prior of the Order for Sussex . The cere * mony will be performed by the Earl of Lathom , Great Prior of England and Wales . & c , who will be assisted
