The exhibits were displayed in'tlie Society's Hall, also in the Town Hall opposite, the latter being re.'erved for cut tiowcrs anft lloral decorations. The display of vegetables was a very fine one. Mr. C. A. lladler, a local amateur, had no loss than (i(i exhibits in this class, and the judges remarked that this was the best collection of vegetables shown by any one exhibitor for many years. ihe display of pot plants by Mrs. I.ovtll (Hawera) and Miss Kihvards (Xormanby) was excellent and the competition for the points prize in this section was keen, ili.-s Edwards securing the prize by a small margin. Mr. F. C. Davis, of Stratford, secured the points prize for cut flowers, his collection of cactus dahlias being the finest shown here for some years.

In the fancy work section the coinpetition was keen, and f' < j; I; es had some difficulty in avar.'.ir.;. prizes in some of the classes, hi the lace exhibit, the following were worthy of spe-ial mention: —Mrs. Murdoch 1, Mrs. H. M. '(Whalen 2, Mrs J. Archbold 3, and Mrs* •I. Carrol li.e.

The cookery display was not so l.'.rj/j as usual, but this is accounted for by the h'ul. price of baking materials. Mr. \\. Rowe attended to t'ic d'lVos of inside steward, and Mr. 0. I'ame n in c'aigf. of the outside exhibits. I'i ; show closed in the evening' wher a concert and dance was held in the Town Hail.
