The attendance last ovening was more numerous than on any previous occasion, and had it not been for the accomodation offered by the gallery there wouid have been an'inconvenient crush below. The Masterton string baiid under .the leadership of Mr Lundqvist enlivened the scene with well played, selections, Among the visitors present we noticed the Mayor of Groytown, several members of the Groytown Hortioulsociety, and other gentlemen from that township. The committee wish to express their thanks to those gentlemen who came ■ from a distance and kindly gave their 1 services as judges for the show, and also to. those who assisted in perfecting the arrange* ments. The judges were entertained at lunch at the Empire hotel by Host Corbett. We append a list of the special prizes taken, and also somo others we omitted yesterday. Where special prizes are given they take the place of the societies prizes. Among the exhibits whioh were not remarked upon yesterday were the iwo paintings by Miss Mason.' 'Sunset," and ." A Storm," tho former especially attracting great attention. Miss Rockel's collection (f ladies ;fanoy work was also very greatly admired. But what must be considered as the best piece of needlework in the room was a patchwork quilt made by Mrs Caffery. which would, have undoubtedly gained a prize if entered for competition. Mrs Gardner secured a prize for a knitted hearth rug, made" from innumerable pieces of cloth, the making of which must have afforded amusement for a large numbsr of winter evenings. Mr Bowry'a waiter color "cottage near Ohristohurch" and " Lako Wairarapa," were very well executed, as was Mr Donnelly b view of Slate River, Gollingwood. Miasßockolgained,firit and second prizes for crewel work, and some splendid specimens were also exhibited by Mrs' Lowes. Mr Jago's children exhibited some very pretty flower baskets made from pine cones, acorns, nuts, seeds, Ac., which showed great taste in the construction. Mr W H. Beetham brought noiievoang trout from the Acclimatisation Society's hatching house which were watched with interest by largo numbers during the afternoon. The same' gentlaman received fi st prize for hen's egss which we ommittcd to mention yesterday. \Ye made several errors in the prize list yesterday, • which was mainly due to the committeo, who not having sufficient prize tickets placed commended ones on, altered however to suit the different cases, so that some (f theiu were reported as commended, which were awarded prizes. Mr T, Gardner received both prizes forpinsies in self color, also first prize for a collootion of herbs, there being 30 varieties. Mrs Wickendon was swardeu 2nd prize foi knitted tea cosies, and counterpane. Mr J. Mills, travelling agent for Mr Boxall, had a splendid collection of books, We hear the takings at the door amounts to over twenty pounds being in excess of previous shows, whioh is a very satisfactory amount when it is taken into consideration the large numbers admitted by members tickets. As there are several special prizes which have not been awarded at this Bhow, they will, we understand be given at the autumn exhibition. Mr Lowes' articles were «li for exhibiiion. The judges remarked that prizes would have been awarded in every case if entered for competition. Mr Parsons of the Eaglo Brewery received prizes for beer and porter.
