The Late Flower Show
TO THB EDITOB OF THB BTAB. Sir, — Mr Edmund Goodbehere has fallen into the very common blunder of " correcting" one mistake by making another, for while charging you with writing what he considers " calculated to mislead the the public," he does the very same thing himself. He tries to show that the officers and members of the general committee, the exhibitors, the local Press — everybody, in fact— were none of them treated otherwise than they should have been. He gives a very obvious reason for not seeing or hearing what occurred with reference to certain exhibitors being insulted. Ho was inside the hall while the occurrence took place outside the doors. He ought to know that such a statement as he makes is not evidence under these circumstances, He calls your report "erroneous" and says he offered to " correct" your proofs if necessary. He forgets that bis own report was also " erroneous," a fact he admitted to me himself, and therefore yours, even had it been checked by hie would not have been correct. — I am, &c, Your Ekpobteb.
