J Rhyl Yacht Club. Sonething of an innovation, for which the blame or credit was rightly or wrongly ascribed to the genial vice-commodore, was introduced at the annual dinner of the Rhyl Yacht Club, which took place at the headquarters, the Palace Hotel, on Thursday night last. The speeches were hurried over, and the subsequent proceedings took the form more of a conversazione, a num'ber of ladies having been invited to grace the enter- tainment. The dinner, which was of a capital character, was presided over by the commodore, Mr Scott .Hayward, Captain W H Wilders (vice- commodore) occupied the vice-chair, and the company included 'Councillor J H Ellis, J.P., and Messrs R Hanlon, J D Asher, H Sandoe, H K Osborne, \Y White, F Wallis. • iMr J .H Ellis, submitting the toast of the evening, said he regretted that the membership was not greater than it was. It behoved exerf gentleman who was interested in Rhyl to jo'n such a club, not only for his own recreation but in order to bring Rhyl to the front as a marine resort. Rhyl was well known as a place where yachting was facilitated by the position of the sea, and the marine lake was an ideal yachting place, and it was a regrettable fact that the present lessee of the lake and the club had not been able to remain on amiable terms, the resu.1t being that the clirb had had to transfer its activities to the open sea, where the weather was not always favourable for the fixtures, whereas if the Marine Lake were at their dis- posal they could run their races in safety. He hoped that time would heal the sore, and that they would soon have the lake again. During the past year the club had .been actively carry- ing out the programme of fixtures, and it was pleasing to find that the winners were most ar- dent yachtsmen. The club deserved greater support fhan was accorded it. They had in the commiodore a gentleman who supported the club liberally with funds, and from whom no distance was too great when the interest of the club demanded his presence. As an instance, he might mention that he had come from Bel- fast to attend that function '(Applause). In Capt Wilders they had an ideal vice-commodore (Hear, hear). He was glad to hear them cheer that name. lie very .much doubted whether, but for the captain's activity, the club would be ever in so good a condition as it was. He hoped both gentlemen would long be spared to give them that active and attractive support of which the club was so much in need (Applause). He hoped the members of the club would try to induce their friends to extend their member- ship to the club. It was animated by one common desire to do Rhyl good not only by attracting visitors, but in making it a permanent institution that the townspeople might take part in. It was unfortunate that they had not recently had an annual regatta at Rhyl. There was every facility for such an event, and they were very successful when they were held. It was regrettable that the spirit of progrsss was not stronger, ibut he was pleased to say that the committee had in contemplation a regatta for next August—(Aplause)—and he hoped that there would be a liberal response to the appeal for assistance. It was due to a want of funds that that pleasurable institution had fallen through, and if it was to be successfully revived the townspeople must respond to the call (Ap- plause). The Chairman, responding, said Rhyl had all the requisites of a successful club—a good touch, good harbourage, and plenty of water- except membership. He rcmcm'bered the club Stor 28 years, and strange to say it had gone down since its formation. Welshmen were known all over the world as sportsmen, and for carrying to a successful ending anything they took in hand. He was certain that if they made a real earnest effort they could make the club a success, and he appealed to those pre- sent to do it. tHe said he had been to the annual dinners of clubs with a membership of 200, and they had not had an attendance so large as that before him (Applause). Capt Wilders also responded, expressing his appreciation of the honour which he had re- ceived in having- at the business meeting been elected vice-commodore for the eighth or ninth time. He endorsed the appeal that had been made for more members. There were numbers of non-members present that night who could join them', for the subscription was infinitesim- ally small. If those who could would join them, they would be able to have the finest regatta round the coast. They had about £ 14 in hand, and with donations of 5s from the townspeople who couM afford it they would soon raise R30 or E40. With regard to what the commodore had said about the number round the table, he said there were about forty present, and only nine of the members of the club were present ("Shame"). He quite agreed that it was a shame. He proposed the health of the visitors, coupling with it the name of Mr George Perkins, Mr iHanlon, and Air F Wallis. The three gentlemen named responded, Mr George 'Perkins remarking that he was unaware that the club did not now use the marine lake. He had often told people, when passing the lake in the train when yachts were sailing on the lake, that the Yacht -ULL-B was having a race (Loud laughter). After the tables were cleared the following ladies joined the gathering:—Mrs Wilders, Mrs IVVOO(I, LMrs midwinter, IIrS rAshfield, (Mrs Mc- Dermot, Mrs Sykes, Mrs Hanlon, ¡fiss Lewis, Miss Gladys Lewis, iMiss Emib-rey, Miss Alyn, (Miss Parker Owen, 'Mrs Lang, Mrs Philip Tho- mas, and 'Miss Deacon.

The annual meeting, held previous to the dinner, was presided over by Mr Scott-Hay- ward, commodore of the club. The Hon. !Secretary E IH Lewis) reported that during the past year the club had a mem- bership of 55, and that the cluib had lost a strong supporter by the death of Mr John Foulkes, Albert Villa. The racing throughout the season, with the exception of the Cariad class, was fairly satisfactory. The position of the club had improved very much since the autumn meeting. The report of the Treasurer (IMr H K Osborne) showed that the past year's receipts amounted to :£34 3s 3d, including a commencing balance of £ 4 10s 2d, £.18 7s in subscriptions, and R5 3s 6d in donations. The expenditure included dB14 15s in respect of prizes awarded last season, and left a balance in hand of t62 2s 10d The accounts wer7 audited by Messrs W H Johnson and E A Wood. The various officers were re-elected, including Mr Tom Davies, president; Mr Scott-Hayward, vice-president and comtmodore; .Mr G A Ta- verner and Mr Cook, vice-presidents; Capt Wilders, vice-commodore; Mr E II Lewis, secretary; and Mr H K Osborne, treasurer.

o!t- Rhyl Advertising Association A EíCCC.E:SiF CL YEiAR. The annual meeting of the Rhyl Advertising Association was held in the Board Room of the Town Hall on Tuesday evening, Councillor J W Jones presiding over a numerous attendance. Among those present were Councillors J H Ellis and H A Tilby, and Messrs R B Arnold (treas- urer), P J Ashfield and A A Goodall, (joint hon. secretaries). The minutes of the last public meeting held fourteen months previously, were read and confirmed. In his report on the financial aspect of the work of the organisation during the past year, Mr Coodall said he regretted to say that the sum received in subscriptions was not up to expecta- tions and was not worthy of the town, as they would agree when he told them that for half a mile of houses on the West Promenade the total amount realised as the result of a house to house appeal was less than L2. It was, however, pleasing that the amount received during the year was more than was received by the old association. The amount received in subscript- ions was L60 17s; two whist drives organised by Mr R Sykes, realised L14; a ball raised R3 7s 6d the total income being JE82 Is 6d. The expenses included -50 for bill-posting, C25 for posters, totalled £38. Mr W J P Storey (president) with his cusomary generosity had presented them with 100 guides at a cost to himself of E7 10s (Ap- plause). They closed the year with a debit bal- ance of £ 6 5s 3d. It was not a large amount, but it would have been more gratifying if it had been in hand. In going round they found it easy to get plenty of advice and questions as to why they did not do so and so but not much money (Laughter). Mr P J Ashfield in the course of a report on the general work of the association said they had made good progress and done substantial work. There was a much larger amount of work to do than the general public imagined. They received hundreds of letters, as many as eight or nine in a .morning, asking for various infor- mation that was required by intending visitors. Here he read two specimen letters in which the writers wanted advice as to the best place to pitch a tent, the best end of the town, the class of visitors, whether families mostly, or young people or middle class people only who visited Rhyl; whether Rhyl was considered a better class place than Llandudno; what was the average charge for rooms, etc. The letters evoked hearty laugh- ted. Proceeding, -Mr Ashfield said that with the co-operation of the Town Clerk they had dis- tributed hundreds of guides in nearly every I county in England and Wales. Leaving out London, where they had sent very many guides in response to applications, the principal towns from which the applications for guides and infor. mation had been received were the large indus- trial towns of Yorkshire, and he might say that out of the fifteen towns in that list the commit. tee had fourteen of them well placarded with the large posters advertising Rhyl. That was there- fore proof positive of the excellent work the bill. posting was {Applause). The main operation of the Committee had been the posting of the eight sheet posters in the Lancashire towns, as that district had not yet been tapped by Rhyl. The contract for the posting was left to the local firm, Messrs Beech Brothers, whose price was as low as any in the district (Applause). The work was well known to be satisfactorily done, as owing to the kindness of the Rhyl goods stationmaster (Mr Jones) an efficient system of voluntary inspection had been made possible (Applause). No less than 4000 sheets were posted, besides smaller ones. He was of opinion that the result justified their expectations, for it was agreed that they had never before had such a large number of visitors from Lancashire as they had during the past year, and from all accounts the visitors were highly satisfied with what Rhyl bad to offer them (Hear, hear). He did not mean to say that the record season last year was due entirely to the Association, but he did say that it made a tremendous difference (Hear, hear). If the As- sociation was enlarged by more subscriptions, the prosperity of the town would be greatly aug- mented (Hear, hear). Further than the posters the Association advertised in other ways, by re- printing any interesting item of news calculated to do Rhyl good and getting tradesmen to en- close them in letters, and circulating them in different ways. They also issued a lodging- house list, and in connection with this it was to his mind disheartening to think of the shock- ing support they received from the very people for whose benefit it was published. For a no. minal! sum lodging-house keepers could have their name and address in this guide, which went all over the country to people who inten- ded coming to Rhyl. The Association had also published a number of giant postcards, which were sent to various institutions, a list of which was kindly supplied by Messrs Tilby and E K Miller. With regard to the difficulty in getting subscriptions, he said they should surely be loyal enough to their own town to be able to subscribe much more than they had done. It was to the interests of the townspeople to assist the work which the Association was doing. Rhyl had natural advantages that were not en- joyed by the winter towns along the coast, the average rate of bright sunshine last year being no less than five hours a day. Yet at a sister town along the coast nearly £ 700 was raised towards the advertising of the town, while at Rhyl the amount did not reach £.100. It had been found that there was actually a complain that a large portion of the subscriptions went in salaries (Laughter). He desired it to be known that not a penny was paid for labour i services in connection with the Associ it'o*t. Any discount, ommission, or bonus went into the funds of the Assoiation, and it was a i'ttle galling, after working hard for the cause, for it to be supposed that a salary was paid. With regard to next year's programme, through the geoerosity of Mr W J P Storey, who had given £ 100—(Applause)—they would be able to do much more than they had done. The very fact that Mr Storey had given so generously to the funds should be an inducement to everyone in the town to do the same. And on the strength of that donation, and believing that the towns- people would with a generosity proportionate to their means support the Association, they had arranged a very elaborate programme for next season. They intended to post 16,000 sheets of posters, and they had voted rather a large sum for guides, and the programme right through would entail a large expenditure and a large amount of responsibility on the officials. The town could not be expected to prosper in the face of the competition of sister towns, he con- cluded, unless everything possible was done to bring the natural advantages it possessed to the notice of those whose support they needed. If the memlOOrs of the Association and the officials were willing to do the work gratuitously, the least the townspeople could do was to support them (Applause). Mr J W Jones said he had to apologise for the absence of :Mr Storey, who was prevented by a most important business engagement in London from presiding at that meeting. In moving the adoption of the reports he said they might con- gratulate themselves upon the fact that the Association had fairly justified its existence, and had done excellent work during the past year (.Hear, hear). He thought they might congratulate them not only on the work of the past year as such, but on also laying the foun- dation for greater work in the years to come. They could not conceal from themselves the fact that the people had not responded to the appeal made to them to subscribe towards the j fund for advertising, the attractions of Rhyl to the extent that they might have done. He was afraid that if it went abroad that Rhyl people only subscribed kSO to that fund, it would suggest that they had a very low estimate of their town's attractions and advantages. People judged a place by the value its own people put upon it, and they in Rhyl should set a higher value on the attractions of the town than 1:82 (Applause). Certainly they should rise to a higher fund. He had heard it suggested that the Council might do something towards help- ing the fund. That had been discussed times without number, and on one occasion when they were in London with a Bill they were pro- moting Mr Tilfby and himself endeavoured in vain to induce the officials of the Local Govern- ment Board to agree to a clause that would enable the Council to do the work. That, in his opinion, was the only possible solution, which would compel everyone to pay for the' cost of advertising the place, which should not be left a burden on the lew (.Hear, hear). It was the general experience that when these things were left to voluntary helpers the expense alw ays fell on the same shoulders. Even if an individual could only give sixpence, if he came forward and gave it, it would be accepted as cheerfully as Mr Storey's L109 (Applause). The feeling that should exist was that we were a community, equally dependent on one anotner, and that the aim and object of each was to make the town" go" (Hear, hear). There had been too ready a disposition to consider that the place was run by a few, and he was there- fore all the more pleased to see so many present at that meeting, which, he hoped, was an aug- ury of better work for the future. He need say no more than express their thanks to the secretaries, who had taken such a vast amount of troulble in collecting subscriptions and util- ising them in the best interests of the town. Everyone would recognise that the services they had rendered had been attended with satisfac. tory results (Applause). Mr J H Ellis seconded the adoption of the report, and said he was delighted to join also in the expression of congratulation to the Asso- ciation on the excellent work of the past year. They were all agreed that the remarkably good season of last year was very largely the outcome of the advertising scheme of that Association (Hear, hear). He personally came into contact with several visitors who had never been to Rhyl before, and who were frank enough to say that they were induced to come by the placards ad. vertising Rhyl in their own town (Applause). Advertising, if well done and systematically, was very satisfactory. The visitors were unan. imous in praising Rhyl, and were surprised that many more from their town had not come. He joined the -Chairman s appeal for more liberal support of the Association. If the work was carried out this season on the same lines as last, he was sure it would do a great deal to increase the ppoularity of Rhyl. The towns in which they had advertised were very deisely populated, and in addition it was intended to tap" a district of Yorkshire (Applause). Mr Tilby joined in the chorus of appreciation, and expressed the hope that the organisation would go on growing until it contained as many members as there were ratepayers (Hear, hear). I The Chairman moved a hearty vote of thanks to Mr R Sykes for the trouble he took to organ. ise the successful whist drives for the Associa- tion. The vote was carried unanimously. On the proposition of the Chairman, secon- ded by Mr J H Ellis, Mr W J P Storey was unanimously re-elected president for the ensuing year. Mr R -B Arnold was unanimously re- elected hon. treasurer, and Messrs Ashfield and Goodall joint hon. secretaries. Messrs E K Miller, Ellis, P Thomas, J W Jones, W J Jones, Story, Lewis Jones, and Parker Davies were re- elected to the committee, Messrs L G Hall, R Sykes, and Newman being added. Mr H A Tilby was elected auditor. A vote of thanks to the Chairman brought the meeting to a close. -)0(-

GREENWICH OBSERVATORY. COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATIONS. The report of the committee appointed to in- quire into the working of the London County Council's generating station at Greenwich, in its relation to the Royal Observatory, was issued on Tuesday, Lord Rosse representing the Royal Observatory, Sir Benjamin Baker representing the London County Council, and Mr. J. A. Ew- ing representing the Admiralty. The members of the committee state they have clear evidence that the working of the engines in the generating station does give rise to vibra- tions of the ground which are felt at the Observatory. The vibrations are of a different character from the tremors due to passing trains or to road traffic. The chimneys and chimney gases are next dealt with by the committee,. who recommend that two chimneys at present un- finished should not be built beyond a certain L_L.L -] LL_L L 1 'I, neigtii, arm mac tne gases (liscnarged should, in no circumstances, be materially hotter than those now discharged from the existing chimneys, but, says the committee, We are strongly of opinion that there should be no further extension on the present site. Our recommendations may be summed up as follows: (i.J The question both as regards effects of vibration and obstruction through chimneys, or discharge from chimneys, to be further reviewed after, say, two yeAs, by which time experience should be obtained with the second portion of the station at work. (ii.) The generating plant for the second portion to be turbines, which, as well as the dynamos, must be of a perfectly balanced type, such as has been proved by trial not to cause vibration, (iii.) An undertaking to be obtained that when the plant in the second portion is available for use, the reciprocating engines of the first portion shall not, in ordinary circumstances, be used after 10 p.m., and their use shall be restricted as far as possible after 8.30 p.m. (iv.) The two chimneys of the second portion at present incomplete to be not higher than 204ft. above ordnance datum. (v.) The discharge of gases both from these and from the existing chimneys not to be materially hotter than the discharge is now from the existing chimneys, namely about 250deg. Fahr. (vi.) No further extension of the station to be made beyond the 20,000 kilowatts now contemplated in the equipment of the second portion."

ANOTHER RUSSIAN SCANDAL. £3,000,000 EMBEZZLED AT PORT ARTHUR. A Secret Commission has been sitting of late engaged in investigating serious charges of hav- ing embezzled State funds, says a St. Petersburg correspondent. The officials who have been brought to task are Lieut.-General Dessino and State-Councillor Pavlov, formerly Minister at Seoul. During the late war these officials were employed at Shanghai in providing Port Arthur with food and ammunition. In carrying out, or pretending to carry out, that most important work, these officials spent E3,200,000, and now they can produce vouchers and receipts for at most £ 300,000, and many of these vouchers are very doubtful. The Secret Commission was ap- ssl pointed by the Ministry of War, and General Frolov, formerly Chief of the Headquarters Staff, and now member of the Council of War, has been its President. The Commission has proved that even if General Dessino's statements are accepted, for he kept no books, there re- mains still the sum of from £ 1,070,000 to £ 1,600,000, of which no trace can be found, al- though it is known that the money was spent by the two officials at Shanghai.

THE DOWAGER EMPRESS OF CHINA. The Dowager-Empress of China was a child of poor parents, who lived in the suburbs of Canton. At an early age, following a common practice in China, she was sold as a slave by her parents on account of their poverty. She became the property of a famous general, who, c'lichunted with her great beauty, adopted her, and oilered her as a present to the reigning Em- peror, Hs;en-Fmg. She so charmed the "Son of Heaven by her looks and intelligence that he made her his secondary wife, and on 'her bearing him a son, the future Emperor Tung Chili, he raised her to the first rank. On his death she became the Regent of the Empire, ad- ministring the national affairs for fifteen years with more vigour than any of her predecessors. « A HOT CLIMATE.

JERSEY MURDERER HANGED. At Jersey, on Tuesday, Thomas Connan was executed for the murder of Pierre Leguen, his sister's husband. The woman, Marie Leguen, who was also found guilty at the trial of com- plicity in the crime, was sentenced to twenty years' penal servitude. According to the evi- dence, Leguen was found in a cornfield in July, his head -having been broken with a stone, and the contention of the prosecution was that Mrs. Leguen wanted to get rid of her husband. It is stated that Connan made a confession before being handed. Pierporit was tho executioner. Before the present execution all hangings in Jersey were in public, and before 1866 took place on Gallows Hill. In the latter year a French ( youth was hanged on the prison wall, the exeru- tion beiiifr witnessed by 3,000 people. The next execution also took place in the presence of some thousands of people. The Press were not admitted to Connan's execution, but the scaffold erected within the prison could be seen from the roof of the adjoining building.
