The Dunedin Horticultural Society wrote proposing to arrange a competition for the best exhibit of flowers, plants, fruits, vegetables, etc., at their autumn show on March 4th. The competition is limited to Horticultural Societies outside Dunedin. It was decided to settle the matter after the Waimate society’s show. After discussion it was decided that, on account of the general backwardness of the season, the show be postponed' a fortnight and be held on the 29th January. It was decided to the Band to play on the same terms as last year The next meeting was fixed for Tuesday, December 29th
