AlthiWgh the heavy gale last month had caused severe damage to the dahlias, many fine blooms were on view and the visitors had an opportunity of inspecting their, favourites and this season's novelties at their best. Afternoon tea was served by Mrs.and Miss Shailer and their willing assistants. , „ *• A vote of thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Shailer and their family and assistants was conveyed by the secretary, Mr. G. S.
