CLYDE QUAY SCHOOL SHOW.

SUMMER FLOWERS. The third competitive flower show'in connection with the Ciyde Quay Public {School was held in the New Century Hall on Wednesday, and was opened by Dr. Newman, M.P. Taking into consideration the adverso conditions that have been prevailing of lato as regards tho weather, the display of flowers was very creditable indeed, and the committeo responsible for the show are to be congratulated upon the keen interest with which the boys and girls. belonging to the school hare taken in the.scienco of flower and vegetablegrowing. Thero were a largo number of entries for- tho decorated tablo c-lasa, no fewer than twenty-two, which were judged by Miss Murray. Mr. Wilkinson judged the other classes. Mr. Robertson introduced Dr. Newman, and in the brief speech with which ho opened tho show, Dr. Newman said he was very glad to seo such active interest taken in flower-growing, as it would help to make Wellington beautiful by and by. Ho thought it was a great mistake to grow flowers that had no scent, and in many gardens in the City thero wero many beautiful flowers that were entirely destitute of such a pleasant thing. Mr. Grundy, the headmaster of the Clyde Quay School, thanked the committee for their practical assistance in regard to the show, and particularly Mr. Duffy, the acting-secretary, who had spared no time or trouble in adding to its siicccs3, in fact ho was the mainspring of tho show.
