FLOWER SHOW

(From Our Own Correspondent.) SHANNON, Sept. 19. The annual flower show under the auspices ot the Shannon W.D.F.U. was held in the Druids’ Hall on Wednesday in ideal weather. This fixture grows in popularity each year, and this year the hall space was taxed to display the large numbers of entries in each class. A very high standard was sustained in every class, and t.ho large and appreciative attendance of the public must have been very gratifying to the organisers. Tho Mayor (Air E. Butt) called on Cr W. Clayton to deputise for him in declaring the show open, which Mr Clayton did. He expressed tho townspeople’s gratitude to the W.D.F.U. for tho splendid work they do in the direction of beautifying the town and district: A sweets stall and tea-rooms did good business. The net proceeds from tho show are to bo handed to the Spitfire Fund. Till the bulbs were judged by Air G. Larsen. Awards wore:
