The Horticultural Show

The Autumn Show oftheabove was held n the new Assembly Booms yesterday,^^" md was a great succes*. All theexhibite^|^ were up to the avewtgff, the fruit send vegstable* being speciatty good* Of tha plants and cut Sewers we cannot speak boo highly. Some petunias (foliage) and German astera aMwurted a good deal of well deserved attention. Two collections of vegetables reoeived high commendation from the judges, for the excellent 1 variety displayed' and their good quality. We noticed two or three gourds, on which the name and address ofthe exhibitor had been written when the gourds. Were small, and the process ofthe enlargement ofthe* letters, as the gourds advanced in age, was peculiarly marked. The judges of the fruit and vegetable classes were Messrs F. Y. Lethbridge and E. Worsfold, the latter gentleman acting for Mr W. D. Nicholas, who was unavoidably absent owing to his having injured his ankle, and Mesdames John Bartholomew and Boe judged the produce class, and we are pleased to note that their decisions gave general satisfaction. A stalk of cocksfoot grass, 7ft 6in long, from Birmingham, sent by Mr Lowes, and some maize plants exhibited by Mr ; E. . Goodbehere, were highly commended. Some very fair samples of apples arrived too late to be entered. The four pictures which are to be disposed of by Art Union in a short time, made very pleasing additions to the walls, and added iimuch to the general effect. In tiie evening the show was well patronised the room being literally packed. The number of well dressed and well looking ladies emulating, as many of them did, the beauties of the lovliest flowers, made the scene very charming. The light from the powerful Rochester lamps had the effeot of rendering the whole picture a very brilliant one, while the music of the Feilding Brass Band added much to the pleasure of the evening. The financial results were very satisfactory J6lB 7/6 having been received. Mr Fowler.disposed of the various articles by "Dutch auction" in a most efficient manner.
