GREYTOWN. Tho Greytown Horticultural Socioty held its autumn show on Thursday. Theday was fiuo, but tho evening set in wot and rather spoiled tho attendance. In flowers, the entries were- not up to the usual standard, and, in part, the farm produce entries were disappointing. The bouquets and decorations, however, made a good show, and home produce was fairly well represented. Tho fruit division ,was no doubt tho most important in the show.. There was a capital selection in Ellis' class, and tho prizes were "well distributed.. - The half-yearly meeting of the Wairarapa Past Grand Lodge was.held- on Thursday evening, P.O. Bro. Boake being in the chair. The following were the nominations:—Pres. Bro. J. Wallis; V.P., Bros. Delaney, Watkins, and Tait; wardens.vßros.
