An extra rdinarg situation has arisen in connection with the Metes' Conservative Club. During the week the premises, which the club has occupied for something like 60 years, have been vacated, and, at the moment, the club is in the curious position of having sik.

"club' in which to earry on its functions. As an organisation, however, the Chelsea Conservative Club is still in being, and the fact that it has no headquarters is due to the collapse of certain negotiations that, until quite recently, had been regarded aa alnsoet certain to be completed.

Meanwhile, the West Chilies Club has come to the twee, and is giving a cordial welcome to the temporarily homeless members of its friendly rival club. There are over 90 "patches in King's-road. in the short distance fora Lots-reed to the Tadema-road junction.

Very soon there is likelihood of the'Ventury being reached. These patches are along the crown of the road mostly in pairs. and give one the impreaeion that series of very premise and systematic eruptions have bees taking place. Bat to residents is the vicinity, this checkered effect in read recoostroctico carries is its wake very different type of story. Foch bulging square serves, as as unpleasant reminder, in fact, of the concentrated attack on the' comparative 'enmity of the neighbourhood in the form of those generally acknowledged curses of progress drills.

Several interesting matters arose at the annual general meeting of the West minstar and Chelsea Licensed Victuallers' Hotel and Restaurant Proprietors' Protection Association, held at the edict-15 flobsrt-place, 6rosvenor-gardens, on Monday.

The chairman (Captain P. Mc Enroy, referred In the eorrespondenoe between himself and Lord Trenchant, Commissioner of Police, in regard to the occasion of the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Kant, and said he was encouraged to hope that on the occasion of the King's Silver Jubilee some vscial older of licensing exemption would be made, Instied of licensees having to follow the practice of making individual appliestires. Speaking a a delegate to the London Central Board, Mr. F. E.

Knight said there was at latit seine hope of an Older in Council being issued which would not only rave the police the trouble of dealing with appliintiono, but also ay. individual Between the trouble of making them.

Government's apathy in dealing with the existing evil, he said. Ti. me at consequences resulting from the present state of the law could not be overemphasised.
