Masonic Notes .

Next week will be a busy one at Freemasons' Tavern . The Quarterly General Courts of the Governors and Subscribers of our two Schools will be held there on Thursday and Friday , respectively . At these Courts the autumn elections ol candidates take place , and therefore , we may expect the usual large attendance of the friend : * and supporters of the several applicants .

Masonic Notes.

We have already , in a former issue , drawn attention to all the most prominent features in connection with the lists of candidates . Wc need not , therefore , say more on this occasion than that the election of children into the Royal Masonic Institution for Girls is fixed for

Thursday , the nth instant . The girls on the list arc 42 in number , of whom iS remain over from the April and previous elections , while the vacancies are 20—or if the recommendation of the General Committee is adopted , 21 . For the election into the Royal Masonic Institution for Boys , which

takes place on Friday , the 12 th instant , there are . | 4 candidates , of whom 12 have taken part in one or more ballots , while the vacancies are 17 Thus the girls , being slightly fewer in number , and having more vacancies to compete for , have somewhat better chances of success than the boys .

There is , however , one point in connection with both the elections , which we earnestly desire to impress upon our readers . One girl—standing at No . 23 in the list—and six boys , placed at Nos . 1 , 2 , 3 , 9 , 15 , and 38 respectively , will have their names removed from

the lists if they fail to win places next week . Wc have again and again pointed out , that with the lists restricted as they are , and have been for many succes . sive elections , there is no reason why every child , whose claims to admission have been approved , should

not be elected . But these seven will have allowed them no further chance of competing if they fail this time , and , therefore , we appeal most urgently on their behalf for the influence and support of those who arc not as yet committed to voting for any particular candidate or candidates .

Bro . Lord Llangattock , of whose installation as Prov . G . Master of the Prov . G . Lodge of South Wales ( E . D . ) , in succession to the late Bro . Sir Geo . Elliot , Bart ., we published a full account last week , will start on his career under very favourable auspices . His

Province is a compact one , consisting of 19 wellorganised lodges , which , on all occasions , are eager to exhibit their loyalty and devotion to the interests of Freemasonry . Moreover , he has enlisted the support of Bro . Marmaduke Tennant , P . A . G . D . of C , who , as

Dep . P . G . M . under the late chief , won golden opinions from the brethren generally , and who has been reappointed to office . His lordship , too , is personally popiilar with the Craft , and will be sure to exert all his well-known influence in order to maintain the

prosperity which the Province enjoyed under his late lamented predecessor , We need hardly be at the pains of adding that the Eastern Division of New South Wales and its newly-installed chief have our heartiest good wishes .

We have bcen favoured by the author , Bro . Conder , jun ., with a copy of the " Hole Crafte and Fellowship uf Masonrie , " which is published this week . Our readers will have been prepared , by references to this work which

have appeared from time to time in these pages , for a more than ordinarily interesting contribution to Masonic literature . A hurried glance through its well printed pages proves that our anticipations have been more than realised—a verdict which we hope to deliver with more authority in our review columns next week .

# # # The Indian Masonic Review for August contains the concluding portion of Bro . the Rev . C . H . Maiden ' s interesting " History of Freemasonry on theCoromandel Coast , " and also an account of the Quarterly

Communication of the District Grand Lodge of Burma , on thc 25 th June last . From the latter we gather that the District Grand Master , who was absent through illhealth , had , before leaving for England , left a patent in hands of the District Grand Secretary appointing Bro .

James Copley Moyle as his Deputy District Grand Master . We also note that Bro , B . Samuel , Past Dep . D . G . M ., who presided on that occasion , administered a sharp rebuke to the late Dep . District Grand Masterfor having nominated a brother to preside in his absence in

District Grand Lodge , Bro . Samuel considering the act as being " out of place and unconstitutional' . . . it being a well-established rule that it was the prerogative of the Senior District Grand Officer present to take the chair and preside in the absence of the R . W . the District Grand Master or his Deputy . "

"Masonic Light "is a clandestine publication recently started in New York . It claims to be the " Ollicial Organ of the Lodges in North America under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Prussia , Kaiser Friedrichzur Bundestreue , Berlin , F . and A . M . " All such lodges in North America are unlawful and clandestine , and their ollicial organ is like them . Pass it by . —Rough Ashlar .
