The ladies of the Presbyterian Church held their annual spring flower show, combined with a cake and apron sale, in St. Andrew's flail on Tuesday. Allowing for the season, which has not been altogether favorable, the allow of flowers was very creditable to the exhibitors. There were very few classes, but the collection of narcissi alone was well worth inspection. In this class D. Bain was first, Mrs. Geo. Bain Becond, and Mrs. Riera third, while the entries by Mrs. Copping and Mrs.' Patrick were highly commended. Other awards were: Bowl of flowers, Mrs. Pinhey 1, Mrs. Bam 2 and h.c.; collection of anemones, Mrs. Geo. Bain h.c. (one entry). A collection of narcissi and a bouquet entered for exhibition purposes only by Mrs. Reader, and a bowl of narcissi exhibited by Mrs. Corkill, were much admired. The judging was done by Mrs. Koader. Quite a large number visited the show during the afternoon and good ™» ess «s done at the various stalls. The 'Hon. D. H. Guthrie told the Mayor in Wellington a few days ago that he favored borough councils having control of public domains, and that it was his intention to have conditions of transfers from domain boards to borough councils drawn up.

In referring to different matters discussed, he said that the Government apparently T ble t0 the ereetlon of workers dwellings in an extensive wav and preferred the corporations to under! ■■ ko the work, the Government providine the money at a low rate of inter -, t He had supported the remit favorinV the payment of borough councils foAheir Z TV T' bec T e if » was carried it rest Wlf!l the burgesses to sav whether they would have councillors who 1 or not T?- ?aVmel:t for their or not.
