There were splendid varieties of goods on the several stalls which were erected, the flowers and produce stalls being particularly well supplied. There were many beautiful rose blooms, while the home industries section was very well represented by the many kinds of cakes,' etc., which had been prepared for the produce stall. Messrs Duncan and Davies also made a small but very choice display of seasonable flowers and plants. Afternoon tea was served both' inside the building and out on the lawn.
