HORTICULTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY.

. : _■ Autumn Show Although there was a large attendance at the Autumn Show of the Masterton Horticultural ahd Industrial Society last evening, the Drill Hall was not, as on previous cases, unpleasantly crowded, This demonstrates, tt'e wisdom of the step taken by the Committee in extending the show over two days,, Early in the evening Pearson's Brass Band rendered musical selections outside the hall, which were much Appreciated. Notwithstanding the fajling off in the number of exhibits in several of tUo classes, the general opinion expressed was that the show as a whole was a capital one. The staging arrangements were very complete, and the use of wire netting for Ihe preservation of fruit exhibits had the desired effect. The show is to be continued to-night, when we have no doubt there will again be a large attendance.' The following is the PRIZE LIST.
