ISLAND BAY SHOW

PINE DISPLAY OF BLOOMS. The Island Bay Cottage Garden Society held its summer show on Saturday after, noon and evening under ideal weather conditions. Tho snow was opened by Mr. K. A. Wright, M.P., who, in commending tho executivo for the excellent display, expressed surprise that sucli a quantity of beautiful blooms could be. staged in this record bad season. s ' The State School proved only too small for the very numerous exhibits, and every available corner had to bo utilised. Some excellent roses were staged, the best bloom in tho show being exhibited by Mr. W. Slater, Lower Hutt. In accordance; with .the rules of the society tho champion bloom was awarded to. Mi's. Lever, a resident of the Bay. Owing to the lateness of the season, carnations and sweet- peas were not well- represented, although the champion carnation bloom exhibited by Mrs. P. Prince was a splendid specimen. A notable .feaure was adisplay of 36 roses by Mr. P. K. Porteous, of Khandnllah, which were a revelation to many admirers. Mr. G. W. Gaudin, of Lower Hutt, also staged some fine blooms. Mr. .Fred Cooper put up an interesting stand of-cut flowers, ana so did Mrs. A. Wells and Mr. H. Dixon. There wero 19 competitors in the decoTated tables, and the big array of dain-tily-arranged blooms lent an additional charm to tho surroundings. The juvenilo division was a popular attraction to parents as well as the children. Judging by the multitude of exhibits practically every child must have entered, and Mi - . Thwaites, who was responsible for drawing up tho several classes, is to be congratulated on the excellent work shown. Aftomoon tea was dispensed by a committeo of ladies, and the proceedings were onlivoned by Braund's Orchestra.
