WAREA SHOW.

SUCCESSFUL FUNCTIOX. The Cape Egmont Horticultural Society, which, tliauks to the unflagging efforts of a few enthusiasts, is kept very much alive, held its nineteenth anliual sliow in the Warea Ha!! yesterday. On the whole it proved equally as sue. cessful as its predecessors, the entries in the aggregato being more than last year. A feature of t)ie show was the number of new exhibitors, Tataraimaka especially showing out and securing a number of prizes. The display of flowcrs was the best ever seen in the hall, the season having been favorable fo» floriculture, the asters being particularly good. Tiie decorative section also was excellent. In vegetables, entries were not up to the average, but the quality was good, particularly in potatoes, pumpkins and eschalots. In field roots there were some fine samples of turnips and swedes, but it is a matter of regret that the average field is considerably below the samples exhibited In fruit, the exhibit is the poorest in the society's history, owing to tile crop having failod. The preserves and cookery sections were very strong, both in numbers and quality. The collections oi produce from a farm were very fine Needlework and fancy work were also meritorious. . There were no outside nurserymen's exhibits this year, but the hall was comfortably filled without. A fine exhibit was the collection of photographs by C. J. Dueker, a High School boy, whose figure and landscape .studies were greatly admired. Mrs Gill had an interesting exhibit containing badges \of different Austral, ian, English and Scottish regiments on service' at the front, which was forwarded by her son, Trooper P. Gill, who is on active service, and Mrs Hall, secretary of the Ramabia Mission, also had a stall and was doing good business. The catering arrangements .were again under the charge of . Mestlames Kullar, Larking and Mr Ross.

The stewards all did their work well, and benched the exhibits smartly for tha judges, who did their work expeditiously, with the result that the secretary, Miss K. E. Corbett, with a proficiency gained by experience, quickly had the prize winners carded. All other details were attended to promptly by this capable secretary. Mr J. Burgess, a,s president, was the moving spirit of the society. During the luncheon, the presi, dent paid a tribute to the good wotk done by the stewards and judges. Mi Andrews, replying for the latter, and Mr Corbett, on behalf of Mrs Wells for the former, There was a fair attendance in the afternoon, and a gacd attendance in the evening, when Mr Chug. Fairbrothcr auctioned most of the exhibits, which were donated to swell the proceeds of the show, the latter being voted to the Belgian and Wounded Soldiers' Funds. POT PLANTS. Judge?: Mesrs J. B.
