St. Albans made a very special effort to make Century Life-boat Day, which was held on 19th July, an outstanding success. A Life-boat was stationed in the Market Square during the forenoon, and it toured the outer areas of the city during the afternoon and evening. In connexion with the Day, a Query Election was organized, in which the nominators of candidates had to pay a small fee for their nomination, and those who voted for a candidate had to pay a penny for each vote recorded.

This election, for which there were several prizes, turned out to be a very great success, and produced over £200.

Besides this, Lady Grimston, the Presi- dent of the Branch, organized a stall in the Market, where garden produce was sold just as on other stalls. A The Dansant was held in the Town Hall, a theatrical performance was given, which consisted of the trial of a leading councillor on a charge of sedition, and a special paper, called " The Life-boat News," was published and sold during the afternoon. Another Dance was given in the course of the evening. The total result of the Day was £413, or a trifle over 3fd. a head of the entire population..
