In his comments upon the vegetables and flowers, the judge (Air J. Nelson, of Green Island) expressed himself as being well satisfied with the display, and congratulated the exhibitors upon the quality of the material shown. The judging of the domestic sections was in the capable hands of representatives of the Home Science Department, Aliss E. Farquharson for the cooking sections and Aliss H.
