FLOWER SHOW.

FUNCTION AT TE KARAKA. j OUTSTANDING SUCCESS. The annual flower show conducted by the St. John’s Anglican Church at Te Karalca on Thursday proved outstandingly successful, the weather being very kind and the entries exceptionally large. Especial credit for the success achieved is due to the president, Mr. J. C. Appleton, and the joint honorary secretaries, Misses E. S. Maclean and Orr, who had the assistance of an energetic committee. The Waikohu Hall was chosen for the show and at an early hour this was closely packed. Particular credit must bo extended for the splendid manner in which the exhibits were staged. During the afternoon a delectable tea was served from fVower-decked tables by the committee members. The rose section proved popular and many exquisite blooms' were exhibited but it was unfortunate that more growers did hot compete; this being duo to the fact that exhibitors wero otherwise engaged in displays of a similar nature. The judge, Mr. Calcott, was pleased with this class and commended Mrs. Hepburn (ATnnutuke) on her entries, one of which was adjudged champion, “Mrs. Harold Brocklebank.” The stewards were Mesdames. Dowding and Castles. The iudge of the sweet peas, Mr. Alex. Thompson, stated that this was a very good section, many of the entries being of a. high standard. The stewards were Misses T. Dodds and Tullock.

Mr. Thompson, who also judged the miscellaneous section, praised narticulnrly the following classes: Twelve varieties of hardy outdoor flowers, collection of blue flowers, delphiniums (of outstanding quality), gnillardias (a good class), irises and pansies.

The decorative section was judged bv Mesdames. R. Dobson and F. B. Darker, who wero verv enthusiastic in their praise. Special mention was made of Miss des Darres’ exhibits; her table decoration was most artistically arranged with a howl of roses in rich shades of crimson and old gold, as well ns her exhibit in the Victorian posey and Indies’ spray classes.

Tbe cookine el asses were judged bv Mesdmuos. Gunn and L. Parker. The judges were pleased with this section and gave special credit to the first nri 7,o butter exhibit as well ns the high standard of the cream puff and sonn classes. The needlework section was indeed bv Mesdames. L. Evans and C. J. Bennett, who made special mention of the work in smocking, hand-made dress, socks and knitting classes. £omo verv flue work was exhibited in tbe latter class bv "Mrs Kane. The arts and crafts section showed some very original exhibits. In the photography section. Miss N. Graham, the judge, stated that the standard was good and the section showed pleasing variety.
