As we go to press we are enabled to state that Life-boat Flag Day held throughout London on the 19th May was a great success, in spite of the fact that, unfortunately, the Y.M.C.A. had held their Hut Day on the 16th.

It is impossible, at the moment of writing, to state the exact amount raised in this effort, in which, by the way, eight of the boroughs did not participate, as several of them are holding their Life-boat Flag Days later on in the year. It would appear, how- ever, that as a result of our organization in eighteen of the twenty-seven boroughs, and in the City, well over £6,000 was raised, and we are deeply indebted to the Mayors and Mayoresses, and to the ladies and gentlemen who so cordially co-operated in achieving what was a very notable success, considering the innumerable Flag Days which have been held. Some of these, while appear- ing to have a very slight basis of justification, undoubtedly tended to weary the public of what is, in itself, a most legitimate form of appeal to the small contributor, who has no other means of supporting a great national cause. We therefore have good reason to be pleased with the result of Life- boat Flag Day in London.
