The annual exhibition under the auspices of the above society took place in the Scotsburn schoolroom on Friday last, and was a complete success. Tbe weather left nothing to be the day being beautifully fine, fact which no doubt tempted a great many to visit the exhibition. The appearance of the interior of the room waa very pleasing, the display made in all classes of exhibits being good. The arranging of the exhibits was admirably done, and allowed their being set off to tbe best advantage. On the 'eft, near the door, were placed the flowers which were for exhibition, only. Farther along were the cut flowers grown by the ch Idren, and further along still, on the same side, were the pot plants, and also the fruit in both the amateurs' and gardeners' classes. The right-hand side waa divided between the vegetables of both classes. Down the centre of the room were arranged the out flowers in both classes. Owing to having had a change of gardeners lately, the Hon. J. B, A. Aclmd did not this year put in the splendid collection of fruit, flowers, and vegetables that he has always (lone io former years for exhibition only. The collection was always a conspicuous feature of the show, and was much admired. Among the exhibits for exhibition only should bo mentioned a fine one of kidney potatoes by Mr J. Pye. ThisO gentleman also bad a good exhibit of rosea J and carnations. Mr M. Coombs also had on exhibition a tempting collection of apples, plums, and peaches, besides a collection of verbenas and anthirinums. The show of pot plants was not quite up to the usual display made at Peel Forest. Mr R. Irvine carried off the palm for the best collection with a very good exhibit. The display of cut flowers was excellent. In the open class there were four exhibitors, Mr G. H. Patrick and Miss Aciand taking first and second pr'ma respectively. The professional class for vegetables also filled up well, and here Messrs Tripp and Dennistoun ran each other yery closely, the Hon. J. B. A. Aciand occasionally wresting a prize from them. In fruit, Mr Tripp more than held his own, securing five firsts out of the seven exhibits for which entries were received. Mr W. E, Buker also secured Iwo firsts and three seconds in the same exhibits. The amateurs made an excellent display of vsgetablss, Mr C. Terry being the largest prize-winner with seyen firsts and two seconds, Mr E. Lorgerry being second with four firsts and two seconds. Mr C. Terry also secured the first prize presented by the Relief of Peel Forest Lodge, I. for the highest prize-winner at the show. Throughout the day the committee did their best to keep things running smoothly, and succeeded admirably. Messrs R. Irvine and W. Johnston were especially conspicuous by their energetic labors,’ while the secretary. Mr Roskruge, was cobrteous to all, aAtM had everything in his department cellently arranged. Tbe judges were; Messrs J. Pye, M. Coombs, and F. Quinn (gardener to the Hon. J. B. A.
