PARAPARAUMU FLOWER SHOW,

A PLEASING DISPLAY. ! The Parariaraumu Horticultural an Industrial Society held their annua show in the Coronation Hall on Friday when the all-round display was ver creditable, especially in the cut bloom domestic, and school children V s c ( ' tions. The quality of the exhibits wa: very good, but, numerically, cntrie: were below those of the last show, viz. 5(5S as against 62:;. Of the total num ber there were no less than 205 entries from si :--! ;l:i!-lr; i, which shows the interest being displayed by the rising g"nc:.U:nn. " (.iirtr a number of exhibits wore received from AVailtnnae diilrlren . In the cut bloom section Mr. A. \V. Broadway, of Otaki. received »«i„ the ['resident 's l-rophy for the , mist points gained in the cut bloom,

pol plirtit, fruit and vegetable sections Mr. Broadway certainly had some vers nice exhibits,' ami he well deserved the lin ir : ; conferred upon him. Mrs Kemhie.k was Hie chief prize-taker in the boucpiet and decorative sections, lib placing -real Inste in all her exhibits while .Mr. C. B. Reeve, who is al\u is pronitnenl al the Parapariiiimii shows, gaim d most prizes in the fruit iintl vegetable classes. For farm produce Mr. W. .Mowbrav was well to the fore, ' : I lie domestic section .Mrs. S. .1. Wog- >'y u-: Cm shining light. Mrs. 10. Clark" was llie main exhibitor in the nt llework class, uhile Miss Eileen Clarke deserves every credit for her ! line exhibits in the children's section. I If was regrettable that the pol plant ! section was so poorly patronised, there ; being only entries for aspidistra. The decorative section, although not a large one. was good in quality, while fruit and vegetables were below the exhibits of previous shows, farm produce was not a strong class, but the domestic section drew may entries and competition was keen. The needlework was of good ((utility also. The attendance 'throughout (he clay was very satisfactory ami 11 was gratifying to see all arrangements—thanks to the secretary ('Mr. ■!. (1. Maclean) and his assistant (Rev. G. V. Kendrick) worked hard ami were well supported by an energetic committee. The teaber'of ladies.'while the Misses Maclean, with their usual generosity, entertained the judges at luncheon in tin.' Sunday-school-room. The judge in the school children 's "In this cdass it wa~ very difficult to decide as all flic garments' wer,. exceptionally well made. The* exhibits, ill both sewing and cooking classes, reached a verv high standard. No articles in the former class shmid be washed before being shown. .Also, if classes could be arranged according to age, there would be less difficulty in judging children's entries. In class 179 it would b,. well that conditions should be clear—a decorated basket should be a basket decorated with flowers not mereh- a vase of down's placed in a basket." ! " Drawings should be as large as >pac ( . permits. .Shading is useless nil-

less shape and proportion sir.- correct. Maps should ho as largo as possible lo show physical features. Mountains, etc, should be shown in relief, jiol Incuts made in the surface. Different colours should not ly used." Following is the prize-list:— POT PLANTS. (Judge: Mr. *.'. E. Buckingham. Lower Huff). Aspidistra- ■ Mrs. W, .J. Howell I. Mrs. 'lladlieid 2.
