OhAUTUMN SHOW A FINE DISPLAY. 'Clio. Vntuinn Show of the Horowhoima Horticultural and Industrial Society was hold yesterday in the Ota'ki Town Hall, and judged from every point of view was a pronounced success. Approximately the entries were- slightly larger than, those of iast vear. there being some six hundred' tlris timc. The president of the society is Mr A\ . H. Simeox, the vice-presidents Messrs H. I reeinnn and CJ. T, Hartman, while Mr F. Perm has acted as ihon. secretaij and treajurer. and Miss Bills as a ssistant-seoret arv. There had 'been a representative committee loruied, too and all worked assiduously to make tlie affair a pleasing success. The Town Hall yesterday had been most effectively decorated, and. a very fine show of fruit and flowers.. lent a bright 'and picturesque appearance to the interior of the Mil. The exhibition was one..of the most representative that has ever been. hold in the district. ; There were entries from Levin, W aikanac, Pai.iparaumu. Te Horo, Otaki and Manakau. Tiiie committee is very pleased at this ; it regards it as an indication that the society is advancing in public favour with the passage of time. The quality of the fruit was the finest the society has shown for many years. The winners in the pear classes were all Otaki residents. The vegetables were a very good exhibition. Mr "Mayo (the judge) said that this class was one of the host die had seen this season. He was especially pleased with the beet roots, carrots, melons, leeks awl! the collections of vegetables. Cut blooms were rather smaller 'in numbers than usual on account of the drv weather. The main feature was dahlias, where Mr F. Mason, of Palmerston North, secured a number of prizes. Collections 'of cut blooms were a. strong feature _ of the cut blooms class, and practically all the exhibits were excellent ones. The judge (Miss Murray) of 'the decorative classes, said that these were some of the best she had ever judged at a country show. There was 110 opening ceremony, but a good attendance was present during the afternoon, and in the evening there was a bisr gathering of local horticulturist .s,~fioricultu rists and nomologists, and the general expression was that the show from every point of view was one of the most successful on record.
