BHYL CONSERVATIVE CLUB. ANNUAL MEETING. SATISFACTORY YEAR'S WORKING. Mr W. J. P. Storey presided at the annual meeting of the Rhyl (Jonservat: »e Club, held on Tuesday evening, when there was a reps esenta- tive gathering, despite th unfavourable weather ELECTION OF PRESIDENT. Mr J. Pierce Lewis said that ho had great pleasure in proposing that Mr Storey be r. elected president for tire ensuing- y<ar (applause). He '4a. sure all w-cruld agree with him th,a.!1 Mr Storey was the one who was most worthy to oc- cupy that position, and while he was in exist- ence he hoped he would always do ;ôo, and that thy wüulrj nc-t think oJ k>o¡;j.ng anyone else. The Club was in the proud position of possessing the most worthy president in Flintshiro-he might say r--ot only in Flintshire, but the whole of ih Lnit«xi Kingdom, that any club could possess (applause). Mr Robwwn endorsed the remarks made by Mr Lewis. and said it gave hian great pleasure in seconding that proposition. The mocjon was carried with enthusiastic unanimity. The Chairman, in responding, tazaikod thorn prc-sent for the position in which they had placed aim, and the manner in which they had re- ceived him that night. In accepting the presi- dency of the club, he remarked that the mem- bers could )e for themselves that he appreciated their k:ndness by the frequency of hid visits to the club. There is no office, Mr Storey added, I feel prouder of than the presidency of this club. It gave him pleasure to enter it, and not only because it gave him pleasure, but he visited it from a sense c-i duty. I~never enter this, club and find anything going on that should -not b3. I say this without fear of oontrad.ct.ion. We have just passed through a very eventful year. King1 Edward V llo, whose name used to bring c.L2>e a .iter oheer whenever it was mentioned in this room, has passed away, and it is with deep rcgert tnat we now hear the n:J;¡3 of King Edward VII. Wo have to be grateful that w» now live in the rpign of King George V. I be- lieve vse have in King George an ideiil ruler, who has lX>o<)!1 weli tra.ned, and vvc have cause to say he is doing well There n another painful matter that I have to lIloe>!ltiori, that is the dearih 01 Mr P. P. Pennant. Anyone who has been aoquaiut?d with iloh Pennant realises that we have lost a most excellent leader; ho was a broad minded man, a man who thought well over what he said. He was very proud to s o the photo or Mr Pennant hanging on the club walls. The club, he said, did not exist merely for games and sports, but it was a working club, and it did a gerat. deal of work for the party at electron time. He was pleased to note that at the last election the members worked strenuously for the welfare of the cause, both for Col. Howard in U-eooun- and Mr Tilby in the boroughs. But tlxy not succeeded in ooarerting' tlvs electors (A 3d ember: Next time). In conclusion, he said he bored tihe Constitutional Ciub would never fail in its duty. llo also mentioned with rojrct "tat the ciub was to loss its secretary (Mr Isaac ildwarda) who war, going to bwaie a fuli-Oeciged solicitor—(chews)—and was therefore compelled to give up his position there. ELECTIOIN OF VICE-PRESIDENTS. On the proposition 01 Mr Simoock, archi- tect, seconded ",y Mr Robinson, it was unani- mously decided to re-elect the vioo-psessidoats as last year, omitting the nanx-s of Mr Pennant and two others. BALANCE SHEET. 1 The Secretary next produced the lxLuoe ekoefc, which show-ad that there was a liett •fcotai of assets of £ 24ri 15s Id, and a balance in bank of £ 72 1 Co ild to ooznmcnoe the pre- sent year. Mr" J. Pierce Lewis, as chairman of the Finance Committee, projKxsed the adoption of the balance sheet, which lie said spoke well for the progress of the ulub. Mr Simeock seconded, and tlie balance sheet yrobs unanimously adopted. The auditors paid a high tribute to the treasurer for the manner in which ho had carried out his work, also to Mr Pierce Lewis for the zial and attention he had displayed as chairman of the Finance Committee. Mr Lewis said he w«¡"uld like to endorse the remarks of the auditors. Mr Totty was mot there that night to listen to the praise bestowed upon him. He might say bltat he had had a great deal to do in connection with c I u bs of one kind and another, and never fead he met with, such an efficient treasurer. Mr Totty, by the manner in which he hud done his work, had made it quite oasy for the committee. Instead of having a long nic-et- g they had been able to get through the Easiness in half an hour, owing to everything jllg placed before them so efficiently. Mr Clews proposed, and Mr J. Pierce Lewis eeoondvd, a vote of thanks to Mr Totty for his services during the last twelve months, and also that he be re-elected treasurer for the present year, both gentle-men remarking that, they could not possibly &ooure a better offioor. Mr Totty was unanimously re-elected. ELECTION OF AUDITORS AND SECRETARY. On the proposition of Mr J. D. Jon-es, seconded by Mr Steward, both auditors (Mr Midwinter and Mr Litchfield) were unani- mously re-elected. Mr S. H. Dean proposed that Mr R. H. Edwards, secretary of the Sports Committee, be elected secretary, in place of Mr Lsnuac Edwards (WlID is giving up the duties). Mr Re unison seconded, alld eaid that as chairman of the Sports Committee he had oom-e into contact with Mr R. H. Edwairds fra^uentiy, and from the maimer in which he had carried out hie duties in connection with that committee he had no hesitation in eating that he would make a worthy secretary for the club. He had filled the place of the previous sports secretary (Mr Jonesi to pcr- lection. It gave him great pleasure to have tli,3 honour of seconding his election. On being placed before the neoeting Mr Edward's election as secretary of the club wias uoani raouasdy adoDted. Mr Tilby said he endorsed the remarks of both the proposer and seconder, and added that Mr Isaac Edwards was an old boy of his, in fact he had known him from babyhood, and they could not find a better succ-ssor to Mr Edwards than Mr R. H. Ed wards, who was also an old boy of his. Bath gentlemen wore in the same offioe together, and no doubt Mr Isaac Edwards would be able to give his successor & helping hand, and an insight into the working of his future duties. Mr Storey also added a tribute to the iLility of the new secretary, and expressed his wish that Mr Isaac Edwarkis would be successful in his new career. THE GENERA LC'OMMITTEE.

Mr Tilby in an interesting address, took tho opportunity of remarking upon the work of the various oilioers of the club, to w-uoh each du,y re&pondati and thanked Mr Tilby fur tho kixid words lie had expivu&ed towardi thIll. Mr Tavei'ner said he was plea»od to a-^eciate himesii with the remarks of Mr Tilby. lie ad,d-ed that peopie had got it into Ufieir heads that iihi.s wsn a drinking club, but he hoped that it would go out from there to tlie contrary, as the different items given on tihe balance sheet proved. Mr Tilby iAid that in his speech he had emitted Mr Lewis ad an c-Sioer of the olub, aaid he prO(X>jed a vote of tlianks to that officer for the efficient manner in whioh he had earned out his duties. Thiy was seconded and carried wilih acclama- tion. TESTIMONIAL TO MR ISAAC EDWARDS. Mr Tilby said lie had liotiood a she»&i, on the board headed, "Teatinionial to Mr Laac. Ed- wards." He wanted to impress upon theza that it wai not the amount they qavk) so rnuoh os their names that was wartted. If they otnild only afford threepence, they would do their duty by giving that amount. Their nameu 0:1 that sheet would show their appreciation of Iti" der- vices to the dub. lie hojwd they would do their duty in thu ret-i>eet. Mr f<>lwards had boeft 9eeretarv of tbo club sinoe iti inception.
