INGLEWOOD.

SPRING FLOWER SHOW. (From Our Own Correspondent.) The third annual spring Hower and bulb show, under the auspices of St. Andrew’s Church, was held at the Town Hall, Inglewood. on Wednesday and Thursday, and proved a complete success. In the bulb classes sonic excellent blooms were shown, proving conclusively that there are many enthusiasts in the district who are taking a keen interest in that section. Taken throughout, the show was a distinct credit to Inglewood. The show was opened by the Ven. Archdeacon Evans, who congratulated the society upon the very excellent display and quality of the exhibits. Besides the competing blossoms, beautiful displays were effected by contributions from Mrs. H. B. Lepper, Messrs. Duncan and Davies, and Mr. John Gibson, of New Plymouth. The judges and givers of special prizes, and all who gave help, well deserve the thanks of the committee for their generous assistance. Several stalls for the sale of fancy goods, confectionery and other edibles, all tastefully arranged, did good business throughout the day, which should considerably augment the funds of the society. The officials worked hard. A special word of praise to the energetic secretarj’, Mrs. M. A. T. Evans, is well justified. Following is the prize list: Narcissi! and Daffodils (24 varieties).— R.
