HUTT VALLEY NEWS
Yesterday was the eighty-firet birthday of Mr. H. J. Poole, a well-known Lower Hutt identity, and he celebrated the occasion by winning the blue ribbon for the champion bloom at the Hutt Valley Horticultural Society's narcissi show. The occasion was therefore of double importance, and at afternoon tea at the show the Mayor of Lower Hutt, Mr. J. W. Andrews, proposed the toast of Mr. Poole’s health.

H. St. B. Holland, opening the Hutt Valley Horticultural Show yesterday. The blooms exhibited showed that the gardens were in the Hutt Valley, but he had not yet had his hat blown off.
