BISHOP HADFIELD HOSTEL.

PROPOSED CHRYSANTHEMUM SHQW. A meeting of ladies was held at Bishopscourt on Thursday afternoon to inaugurate an autumn show of chrysajitlwniums aud other flowers in aid of the'mainten-ance-fund of the Hndfleld, Hostel. This institution has now been iii existence-for nearly five years, anil supplies a real want' in connection with the university, being (besides a theological college) tho only residential hostel for men who are .studonts-of Victoria College. It is always full in term 'time; but the long summer, vacation, when most of the students are' away, means a serious loss, of income. Great' ''enthusiasm prevailed at the meeting.
