HORTICULTURAL SHOWS.
The annual meeting of the Masterton Horticultural and Industrial Society, which is to .be held this evening, will afford an opportunity for the discussion of the vexed question of the competition of amateurs with professionals. This has always been a bone 6f contention in Masterton show.s. It is a sort of hardy perennial, i If the Society can so adjust matters that it will encourage the genuine amateur, while at the same time offering inducements to professionals to compete among themselvers, it will do justice- by itself. The Society' is now in a healthy condi!tioh, and its future is assured so long as it avoids the rocks upon which so many similar institutions have come to grief.
