Masonic Notes.

Masonic Notes .

The Old Masonians have just issued their third annual report , which is a very satisfactory one . Nothing could be better than the spirit shown b y the " Old Boys " in keeping green in their memories their "Alma Mater . " Surely the system that has turned out so many good

men , who one and all are desirous of showing their love and gratitude for the old School , could not have been such an utterly bad one as some would have us believe . We wish the Association all success , and have no doubt it will gain a yearly accession to its ranks of those who are at present receiving the benefits of the Institution .

# # * H . R . H . the Prince of Wales has been pleased to accept the dedication of a March Nuptial , composed and to be performed by Bro . Jekyll , P . G . Org ., at the

forthcoming Royal Wedding . The march is published by Metzler and Co ., Great Marlborough-street , and in all probability it will be heard next Sunday in most of the churches throughout the United Kingdom .
