ONEWHERO FLOWER SHOW

Eminently Successful. The Ouewhero Horticultural Society held its fifth annual show in tho Onew hero Public Hall on Wednesday last, when a large attendance, both during day and evening, testified to the popularity of the gathering. Tuakau ■in particular was well represented. In entries the Society has made rapid strides, the sweet pea section being a credit to the district both in number and quality. A number of exhibits from outside districts, consequent on the show becoming better known, rendered competition keener than in previous years. An exhibit worthy of mention was the children's water colours section, which was included in the schedule for the first time this year. The handsome *'competitive" silver cup, presented by Messrs Laidlaw, Leeds, of Auckland, for most points gained by any exhibitor, which was competed for for tha first time last year and was secured by Mrs J. Henderson, was on view in the hall. From a "financial standpoint a good result is anticipated, for in addition to the proceeds by way of door-tak-ings and en£ry fees, good business was transacted in the sale of afternoon tea and articles in a fancy stall, which were all donated. Last year the Society donated £350 to various patriotic funds as the result of one show. Donors of cash were Mr Ed Muir £2, Mrs W. Liddle £1 (towards tea stall) and Mrs W. Hawke 5s A very creditable performance was the result of the sale by a young Wairamarama lady (Mis 3 Ena Watson, 14 years of age) of almanacs she had herself made, the sum of £7 : 12s 6d being secured for the same.

The dispensing of luncheon and afternoon tea was very ably managed by Mis Bark, who was "assisted by Mrs M. Taylor and Misses Hunter, Waldron, McKenzie and other school girls, while the fancy stall was under the management of Mesdimes J. Logan and H. Eyres, and the sweet stall and "raffles" were undertaken by Mrs Collier and Misses Jones and Crawford (2) respectively. During the proceedings pianoforte items were rendered by Mrs Alexander to the pleasure of all. Mr Secretary Bark was ably assisted in surmounting the multifarious duties that fell to his lot by Messrs Rickard, Collier and H Eyre and a willing band of stewards.

Mesdames J. C. Quinlan (Tuakau and J. M. Baxter (Pukekohe) were the judges in the baby competitions the result of which were as follows— Under 12 months, Wallace Glasgow 1, Marion Bartz and Andrew Cathcart, (equal), 2; under 6 months, Ronald McKinney 1, Gwen McKibbin 2, Joan Henderson 3. THE EXHIBITS.

Amongst the flowers, the choicest collection was the sweet pea, which was considered superior to Auckland's best. In fact the judges, Messrs J. Collins, Tuakau, and E. Allan, Buckland, experienced great difficulty in making the award. The display of cabbages, in which there was keen competition, the quality was of the best, while the entries in the butter (both competitions) were splendid, as also were the egg sections. The preserves were also a very fine section and the children's exhibits of schoolwork, flowers and needlework were of exceptional talent. In addition to the aforementioned judges the following adjudicated, viz.: Bakery, Mr A. J. Prescott, Tuakau; preserves and farm and dairy, Mesdames O. G. Brewster and J. M. Baxter; needlework and miscellaneous, Mesdames Chas. Orr, L. Allan, and Miss Carruth, Papatoetoe; and children's sections Mesdames G. WLUis and G. Logan.
