MANUREWA SPRING SHOW.

' A MONSTER SUCCESS, The; Manure wa Show Society’s third annual Spring (exhibition took place ..in the Manui*ewa Picture Theatre on Wednesday las,t. There was a very large attendance of enthusiasjts from all', the surrounding districts. ' ; Mr J. J. Park, Mayor of Onehunga, & declaring the Show open, congratulated the promoters on the magni- . , ficent exhibition of flowers. Mr , out that such a show en”t*kiled a vast amount of work, and he that the efforts of the promoters, would be richly rewarded. Manure wa; lie stated, was one of the most progressive suburbs around Auckland 1 he had seen. He hoped the , Show would turn out a huge financial vi, ■ ■ . rI. . ' . • success. There were large entries in the majority of the classes and competition was decidedly keen.' The various judges commented favourably on the standard of the exhibits. ' The cut flowers presented a pleas- ; ing spectacle The various specimens reflected great credit on 'the growers and revealed thajt special pains had been taken in preparing •them for the Show,. Mr D. L. Nathan, of Manure%a, had u on exhibition a splendid display of cut flowers of all varieties. These attracted special attention <; the afternoon and evenlnThe collection of flowers, for which

c S. Ralls gained first prize, was magnificent, and contained some splen- < did specimens. Thp exhibits of roses .and carnations, although small numercially, were splendid. There was very little difference between the champion and that of another exhibitor. ~ The garden vegetables were a fine lot, particularly the cauliflowers, lettuce and silver beet. The competition: in the lemon classes was keen, there being some very ;Jine lemons in competition, and the task <|f the judge was by no means an easy one. ' • -i . The preserves, cooking and art anci plain needlework sections were largely patronised. The exhibits compared more than favourably with those seen elsewhere. ? _ The Anglican Ladies Guild had on exhibition a fine lot mf P lain fancy sewing, while Mr G- A. Roberston had a choide lot of graphs of the school, post office, and floral decorations also on exhibition. - The Show was a monster success from every point of view. Gregt is due to the energetic secretary (Mr. W. Chadwin) and his lenergetic committee, all' of which worked assiduously to make the event successful . Following is the prize list, ihe awards in the childrens classes will : appear in. a later 'issue.
