CLEVEDON.

SUCCESSFUL FLOWEB SHOWDespite the inclement weather there Was a fair attendance present at the Autumn Flower Show held in the public hall on Friday last, the primary object of which was to reduce the debt on All Souls' Church property. There was much artistic effect in the arrangement of the stalls, which, combined with the blending of the flowers of varied hue and the bright colouring of. the Union Jack prominently .displayed, gave to the surroundings a cheerfulness that contrasted with the unwelcome outside conditions. Clevedon has the reputation for doing things well and notwithstanding the lateness of the season the splendid collection of flowers and other exhibits on view were a credit to the district. In the flower section dahlias were well represented and in the 12 varieties collection the blossoms were especially good. Chrysanthemums, too, were well represented, while the collection of 6 annuals which gained the Ist prize were a fine lot. Of vegetables, root crop* were particularly good and weir clean: and healthy appearance were favourably commented upon. Special mention; should bemade of the collections of flowers and vegetables exhibited bv the scholars of the Clevedon school. Fruit, though not a strong class,,i was well represented some very fine' apples and lemons being shown. in the home products the collection of sweets, trhich gained Ist prize (Mrs Waters) deserves especial mention. Scones, cake and shortbread were a particularly good collection and it was not an easy matter to judge this seotion. - The needlework class was throughout well represented and gave evidence of particularly fine work. Paintings, both oil and water colour, were of a, distinctly high • class order and showed much artistic talent. • In the floral artistry class, the decorated tables and floral devices were a credit to any exhibition. Generally the exhibition was of a distinctly high-class order and warrants the the suggestion that the show should be an annual one. Mrs E. Coldrey, the judge in the home products section spoke highly of the cookery, especially of the cakes and scones. Mr D. Hay the judge of flowers and vegetables, expressed himsatf as highly satisfied with the exhibifmi generally, especially in the dahlias and in the collection of vegetables. The school exhibits, too, were a credit to the district. After the exhibition the various products were disposed of to augment the debt reduction fund, but 25 per cent of the proceeds is to be. devoted to the Y.M.C.A. Trench Fund. MissM. 1. Waters demonstrated her abilities as an organiser in so ably carrying out the secretarial duties ana she received valuable assistance from a ladies committee.

ANZIC DAY CELEBRATION Anz&o Day was commemorated on Wednesday last in a spirit of loyal patriotism with due regard of reverence for those brave heroes who at Qallipoli nobly died. There was a i service at All Saints' Church at 12.15 when the vicar (the Bev W. 0 Wood) was the preacher and he was attentively listened to by a crowded congregation. In reminding his hearers of the glories associated with the self •sacrificing heroisif- displayed at Gallipoli, he spoke impressively on Anzae Day as a time when New Zealand began to make history. He trusted that in the future that day would be celebrated in a two • fold character —in a religious and a patriotic aspect—patriotic in the sense of duty and religions in a more reverend degree for those who had died and had given their self-saoiiiicing lives in the cause of truth and freedom. A collection taken up on behalf of the Y.M.O.A trench work realised £4 ss. At the oondiusion of the servioe the "Dead March in Saul" was imSressively played on the organ by Irs Dawes.
