Yesterday’s announcement of the Summer Flower Show will no doubt ureally interest those with a liking for flowers. As evidenced last year the show was a great success, the entries constituting a record. The schedule has been enlarged to what it was last year, and therefore more scope is afforded the exhibitor. Schedules amt entry-forms will he available to-night at Turner’s Fruit Mart, and as the time is very short those desiring them should make application as soon as possible. “ I, ok at those branches floating there,” said the wife of a Ponsonby resident who was having a dip vlie other morning off Wilson.’s skids, between St. Mary’s Peach and Slieiiy Peacli. Ho looked, and saw two (tail; objects sliking up out of the water, nine inches or a loot. “That'S not a branch ; that’s sharks,” was his unexpected answer, and his better-half naturally made a rapid retreat to the shore. Judging from the size ol their (ins (says the Auckland Star), the sharks must have been a good size. The surprising thing was that they should venture so close inshore- -they were not more than 20 or 30 feet ofr the bench—and it must lie remembered that that part of the harbour is now inside the long stone wall which r»-ms the breakwater of the bqat harbour.
