GERALDINE FLORAL AND HORTICULTURAL SHOW.

Patrons —A. E. G. Rhodes, Esq., M.H.R., C. G. Tripp, Esq., Orbell, Esq., H. B. Webster, Esq., Rev. A. B. Todd, Rev. Father Treacy. President : Dr R. Fish. Yice-Pi’e-sidents : Mr J. Williams, Mr A. White, Mr B. R. Macdonald. Secretary :Mr A. Fisher. Treasurer: Mr A. White. Auditors : Mr J. W.

Pye, Mr B. R. Macdonald. Committee of Management ; Messrs J. Williams (Chairman), J. W. Pye, J. Mcllroy, J. Leary, J. Pizzey, W. Stonehouse, and J. Pye. Judges General: Messrs G. Cross (Timaru), T. Langdon (Winchester),

T. Harney (Timaru), A. B. Lowe (Timaru), G. Sealey (Timaru). Bacon and Hams; Mr F. W. Worner, Needlework ; Mesdames Orbell, Macdonald, and Winstone. Seven, biblically speaking, being the perfect number, horticulturists in the Geraldine district appear to have striven to bring their Seventh Annual Show as

near perfection as possible. In every way the show on Thursday last surpassed any of the past four or five years. The quality of the exhibits showed great care in cultivation, and the number of entries was larger than at any other show of the society. An idea of how the number of entries exceeded the anticipation of the society will be got from the fact that the

doors were not opened to the public till 4 p.m., although advertised to open at 2.30 p.m. The exhibits were not ready till 2.30, 'uid two sets of judges, attended by the secretary andanassistant-secretary, were kept going as hard as they could up to the time of opening. Dr Fish (the president) formally opened the Show, and said that he was sorry that their esteemed patron, A. E. G. Rhodes, Esq., M.H.R., was not able to be present among them, as in past years, to open their Show. Mr Rhodes had always

taken an active part hitherto, and had not only helped them with his presence but also with pecuniary assistance. He had much pleasure in declaring the Show open, (Applause.) The attendance at the Show in the afternoon was good, but in the evening there was hardly moving room. The takings at the door amounted to £l9, After the Show was opened an ad-

journment was made by the committee and judges to the Geraldine Hotel, where lunch was provided for them by the society. Dr Fish (the president) occupied the head of the tabl?,'and proposed the health of “Her Majesty the Queen.”

Mr White (vice-president) had much pleasure in proposing the health of “ The Judges,” whom he considered did their duty in an unbiassed manner. i

Mr Langdou, of Winchester, ■ replied, and said that he felt satisfied that the Show was the best he had seen this year. As far as vegetables and fruit . went, '■ it was the best Show he had seen in South Canterbury. (Applause.) They had a

good deal of trouble in judging some of the exhibits, and two or three were disqualified for not complying with the schedule. It was a pity, as some of them were worthy of first place. If exhibitors

thought they could override the judges they were mistaken. In some cases two kinds of gooseberries had been mixed, and in potato exhibits the same thing occurred. They had done their duty, and

if there was anything missed in the hurry they hoped exhibitors would look over it. There had been keen competition, and they

had tried to please everybody to the best of their judgment. (Applause.) Mr Low, of Timaru, thought that if potatoes and gooseberies had been mixed it could be put down to the great amount of class work that had to be done. Some

would say that Timaru could not get up as good a show of fruit and vegetables as the one in Geraldine, but he believed they could if they only tried, but they had not done so yet. He believed the Geraldine show of fruit and vegetables was the best in South Canterbury, and , was a great credit to the district and exhibitors. THE EXHIBITS. POT PLANTS. The pot plants made a very pretty show. Mr R. H. Pearpoint showed some nice' pelargoniums, fuchsias, and geraniums and was the only one who entered for balsams, Mr G- H. Patrick’s collection of ferns was a rare one and well worthy of first place. There were three entries for Mr A White’s No. 1 special prize for pot plants staged for effect, and the prize was awarded by the judges to Mr J. W. Pye, but as a protest was afterwards lodged the matter of alloting the prize was held over. Mr W. Frude’s magnificent specimen of hydrangea was the admiration of everyone. CUT FLOWERS AND BOUQUETS.

Cut flowers, although not brilliant, were above tfie ordinary; tl|e beat show being in pansies. There were no entries for gardeners greenhouse cut flowers. In class “ A,” Gardeners, carnations, 9 varieties, M rs Magdonnld Was disqualified, two of her flowers being minutely alike. This was a pity, as her collection had the favor of the judges in the first place and would probaly have received first prize. The display of bouquets was a beautiful one. Miss Nellie Stonehouse again carrleu imS? a W™ best table decoration. Miss Mina Dunlop mauled to sell the most buttonhole flowers in the

hall aqdtqok the first pri&e with Miss Annie Raiqble second. FQR EXIBITION ONLY. Miss Weeding exhibited a neatly designed rag hearthrug, an excellent of work, Mrs Hoskins showed pic-

tures and texts ia wool work, and Mr J. M. Scales, of Christchcreh. sent exhibits of three large oil paintings, which to give tfiq show a good effect. Mr R.

Morrison, jupr's., oqrlf picture frames looked well with pictures Qf the \Vaihf and Geraldine football clubs enclosed. Mrs iryiue on sfiow a pair of game bantams. fruit.

! There was a splendid show of fruit. Owing to the lateness of the season strawberries were not much, but the show of apricots, gooseberries, raspberries, apples, and cherries was marvellous. Mrs’ Macdonald cleared first and second prices for her plate of cherries, which also attracted special admiration from the judges. Mr J. Pye got first and second prizes in gooseberries, and they were very good samples indeed. Mr J. W. Pye secured Mr A. P. Levy’s special prize, a

handsome silver goblet, for the best collection of fruit, 6 distinct species, but had the misfortune to be disqualified in gooseberries, 2 varieties, best dish of 25 each. VEGETABLES. There was a very healthy show of vegetables. Mt R. Y. Ferguson had on exhibition, for which he was highly commended, an exceedingly large cabbage, which weighed fully 201 b, the heart itself weighing 9Bb. Mr J. Gore was very unfortunate. He had sent along some good samples of vegetable marrows, which would certainly have taken first prize, but not having anyone, to take charge of them they were stow ed away under the benches, and consequently were not judged. Mr W. Wheelband, of Rangitatm, had, on exhibition only, a splendid assortment of vegetables of very superior which undoubtedly would have been a prize taker had they been entered. The show of rhubarb was above the common, and in this there was a close competition for first. Mr Coombs, the first prize taker, showed six stalks weighing 6£lb, while Mr J. Pye who came next had six stalks weighing 6p>. MISCELLANEOUS. Miss Byrne had on show a beautiful boxed plush patchwork quilt, and Mrs Irvine a large crochet one. In mantle drapes Mrs J. W. Pye had a nice one in silk with crewel work, and Miss Earl a superb one in plush. Miss Mina Dunlop’s best dressed doll was a neat piece of work, and the tea cosies exhibited were very tasteful. GENERAL. Miss Byrne took charge of the refreshment stall, and sold everything out in the eatable line. The Secretary, Mr Fisher, had his work cut out to keep pace , with the numerous entries which crowded upon him, but he managed to the entire satisfaction of everyone. The judges were very impartial and adhered to the rules of the schedule stringently, The show closed at 10 p.m. The following is
