—*—r £ EE first Anniversary Festival of our great Charities in 1879 , namely that of that most excellent Institution , the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution , lias taken place with great eclat , and with greater results . Two hundred and eighty-three stewards , an unprecedented number , with Brother
Woodford as Chairman , and Brother Cubitt as Treasurer , ancl Brother Terry as Secretary , carried out the details of the festival to the satisfaction of all . We never saw the greater hall better filled , or more genuine enthusiasm when Brother Terry announced the goodly total of . £ 13 , 850 . Of this amount the Metropolis has sent . £ 6 , 200 , and the Provinces £ 7 , 400 in round numbers . The amount will no doubt reach £ 14 , 000 . East Lancashire , the Province from which the gallant Chairman , Lieut-Colonel Le Gendrie Starkie , came , transmitted the noble amount of £ 3500
We congratulate the Craft on this successful and happy inauguration of the Charity Festival of 1879 , and hope that Brothers Hedges ancl Binckes may each in turn have to announce similar zealous friends , and equally pleasant returns .
