The Masonic Mirror.

( Cheers . ) The festivals of two of those institutions had already been held this year , and , he had been happy to hear , had been more productive than on any former occasions . There was yet one festival , however , to take place , that of the Girls School , which would be held on the Uth May , and ho trusted that it would equal if not exceed the others in the amount of subscriptions announced , ( Applause . ) This was one of the most interesting of their charities , and reflected the highest credit on the Masonic body ; and he sincerely trusted there would be a good

attendance at the festival on the 11 th May . ( Applause . ) The M . W . Grand Master then gave "The Grand Stewards , " to whom they were much obliged for the handsome entertainment of the day , Bro . George Haward , No . 10 S , said— "Most noble , excellent , and worthy Grand Master , ( laughter ) if anything the Grand Stewards have done has met with your approbation and that of the brethren present , they are amply repaid for their labours . " ( Cheers . ) The last toast , "TheLadies in the Gallery / was then given , and the M . W . Grand Master and his officers then left the hall , amidst loud applause , visiting the glee room , where the ladies , who had been previously in the gallery , were assembled , and where , it was understood , a further musical entertainment was to take place .

Until a proper room is provided for this supplementary entertainment , it should be dispensed with ; and if the Grand Stewards on this occasion did not follow the example of the Stewards of the Benevolent Institution and the Boys School , they did the next best thing—confined the entertainment to about three songs ; so that ere the majority of the brethren had left the hall , it was all over—and the policemen , who , to the disgrace of Masons lined the stairs upon'this as upon former occasions , were not called upon to display their authority . The musical arrangements were under the direction of Bro . Horsleythe Grand

, Organist , who was assisted by Miss Messent , Miss Stabbacb , Miss Jeffreys , Bro . Donald King , and Bro . Winn . The services of Mr . AY . Lazarus on the clarionet were also called into requisition most unnecessarily ; for though wo do not deny the talents of that gentleman , we maintain that it reflects great discredit on the Craft to go out of its own body to look for talent , whilst dozens of brethren , holding an equally high a position in the profession , would gladly take part in the entertainment ; and what is moreive their services gratuitouslif the

, g y , money allowed by the Grand Stewards is not sufficient to enable tho Grand Organist properly to remunerate them . To such a cause , or to professional jealousy , can we alone attribute this continual introduction of non-masons to our festivals by the Grand Organists ; a feeling from which we had hoped Bro . Horsley was free . Bro . Horsley was so young a Mason at the time of his appointment as to excuse any little mistakes of the kind to which wo have adverted , but that cannot be pleaded after two years' service . Bro . Harker officiated as toast master with his usual efficiency .
