Horticultural Show.—Great to the delimit of the exhibitors and the Society the annual spring show was endowed with beautiful weather this year. The Show was held in the Coronation Hall, which is a very spacious one, but rather out of the way, especially to the West Endevs, and on account of the distant ' many refused to enter exhibits, particularly in the cooking classes. And who I will blame them? To my mind, it would need the nature of an angel from | heaven to carry a plate of tarts or a jar of preserves over a mile in a hot, I glaring sun, and then perhaps only to get '"Ilc" after your name as a result. Next year 'buses for the competitors and the public should be arranged for. Amongst those present I noticed: Mrs. T. C. List, Mrs. Rollo, Mrs. Sykcs, Miss Perrv. Mrs. R. George, Mrs. G.
