FLOWER SHOW.

SUMNER-REDCLIFFS. The Sumnor-KedeKfTs Horticultural Society held its fifth annual show in the Town Hall yesterday. The number of exhibits, 1165, constituted » record for the Dominion. The spring being a very mild one, -without heavy nor'-westers, resulted in an excellent display in every class. All parts of tho borough v.-ero represented, and the fact that tho increase over last year amounted to 700 demonstrated a favourable season and keen enthusiasm. The children's show, which had been extended, accounted for very large entries. The local class, open and amateurs, was much <bigger than usual, and the displays in tho decorativo section, particularly the table decorations and bows and baskets of roses, were very attractive and popular. Extra accommodation had to bo provided by tho erection of a large marquee next t° the Tovrn Hall, an annexe being used for a. big entry of cooking by adults and of writing and drawing by tho chiluren Though tho weather wes 'boisterous and damp the attendance was good. Tho function was opened by the Mayor (Mr W. H. Nicholson), and the ex-Mayor, the Hon. J. Bnrr, M.L.C.. The president, Mr C. M. Roswell, who called upon the Mayor to open tha show, heartily congratulated the members of the Society upon tho record entry and the high standard of the exhibits. Every section was excellent, und the judges, Messrs Nairn and Jones, had said they wore amazed at the blooms. The roses had never been bettered in Canterbury, and growers in Christchurch would have to come to Sumner to sec how to ran a show. Mr Bartly, the judgo of the art work, said tho modelling -was wonderfully good, although the drawing and colour work needed better handling. The cooking, too, was beyond praise. Ho appealed to all residents to join up and help on the good work the Society was doing. Mr Nicholson congratulated the Society upon tho record show, and eulogised the valuable work of the Society in helping to beautify tho borough. The children especially were to bo commended for their numerous entries, nearly 400 being staged. Ho urged residents to support tho Society, and declared the show open. Tho Hon. J. Barr, ono of tho founders of tho Society, gave details of its growth from its inception, and congratulated the members and the secretaries, Messrs F. A. Jones and J. H. Thomas, and G. H. J. Hine3, for tho immense amount of work they had done, and the past officers for their achievement in building up a. society that was such <v credit to the borough. Tho thousand odd entries demonstrated the for a larger hall at tho earliest possible moment. Tho results wero as follows: CUT BLOOMS.
