Tho,: Baby'show. v , .Ye3ter'day : afteriioon a great procession of infanta in'arms, small toddlers, and laters .was' to ,be-<',peen making its wny-'.'to tho Town Ha.11,1 wjujre.vthe Baby Show, in connection with the St. John Ambulance Fair, was to bo held. It seemed as though all the babies in : the whole of Wellington gathered there, •five'-: rows;'of mothers, .with babies, in : . their arms,"occupying ohairs down the whoje : length of the'/gi-eat 'hall" and two running, crosswise, one bein'g'devoted: to twins. Had his Excellency'the'Governor been present, he .could not have failed to have remarked on the fine healthy appearance of: the infants, and, had there'been judges appointed, they'-vrb'nld have ■fotind.it ft most difhcult task to discriminate, ItV.was; a case, of "trust the people,". for as 'everyone! entered .the room they were presented'!with a.voting paper, on- whjch they .were- to record the , class and number, of the baby, they, considered .worthy of apprize. The physique of the babies seemed ' remarkably . fine to begin with, and tho size of' some, of them', simply 'struck one-dumb with' amazement. Some were remarkably prettjv-itseems strange tthat so many ..mothers -to say with'- regret:.:"Yes:-' He :was;siich 'baby"—the promise of youth not having been kept., ;; ; \.; ' .'.";' ■:[' " /: '...;„;; : V' : ' : ■ It was Tcally a most uncommon sight.. Somo /.of •'•th.ei babies'were-;very tired, protesting with, all their, might "at the indignity of being dis'cussed -and stared at, and very, indignant indeed at being made a show of. One did not ■know whom:to.feel sorrier , for, the. i>ivtnes\.or their "mothers.'..', .Others ..again chuckled and . crowed'and' danced about' oil .their ;tnothera' knees 'enjoying the present moment immensely, and'.taking all .the attention, layished'-'-upon them, as ■ their due. . Two or three: cried if they were"l6ok«d' at, and , ; that meant 'tears for ■most of the..afternoon. One baby-was-,, very blase—she had been entered "for" shows 'before, and' won every .tiine, so she,lay. back in her mother's 'arms,' displaying her dimples,' and critically.; looking at everyone who, came near her/ Two or three very tiny mites', who numbered: their existences by "a, few-weeks only, slept 'peacefully through all tho .wailing, the talking,. and the laughing while' .their some-., what blder sisters or brothers.-were .already entering iinto life's competitions, and being judged on their merits. Perhaps the funniest: thing: was to see the children !who were not: , in the show gazing at those who wefe-with a most superior 'air. It was proof-positivo to them': that ■ they themselves were no longer babies.' "I'm,,.three years' old! I'm not a baby," said one email girl as she gravely, ribserved a bnby..wailing in a most determined manner---; ,/' •.':.'....' ".■', ". . - ■'V ,v"., : ■One pair of twins fascinated a small bby immensely.,- Again and again, he returned to them, and stood transfixed with admiration, and/certainly -it was deserved. They were wonderfully large for their age, and -already, displayed the " nipsi"-, opposite '■ qualities—one jumping about in a. most lively, manner, .re'-* spbnding readily to $he;notice that waa being taken of him; while the other lay,back heavily .and stolidly, not troubling to look,' qj: any one.

Plunket,,' Mrs. Rhodes, : IfissCoates', Mrs. Barton, Mrs; Blundell, and.Mrs. Corrigan. When all. the ballot papers, had-.been counted, Mrs. Newman-read out to a crowd of mothers,- and -far- from, silent babies, the: numbers of the winning, infants, and 'each' in: turn -was, brought up-to the platform to- receive ,its. prize. .Unfortunately,■-in the press of business,, and in the distraction icaused^by ; the. presence of so many babies, the names of two or; three of the prize-winners were not taken down, so only- an /incomplete list can bo published..
