AMUSEMENTS

JUBILEE DANCE. All dancers should be sure to attend the Jubilee dance at Schaef’s Hall on Monday next. The popular Kit-Kat Orchestra of six instruments will supply the music. The function promises a real good night’s enjoyment, for all. HORTICULTURAL SHOW. The Horticultural S-H*ietv’s annual chrysanthemum show, io be held in the Druids’ Hall this afternoon, promises to be a success. Although weather conditions have mitilated against the event being the big attraction of past years, entries are good and the classes are all represented. The entries in the large flowered Japanese class from the Nelson, Hokitika and Reef ton growers will again be an attraction, whilst the bowls in the Decorative section will be a. feature of the show. The season has been favourable to the outside grown varieties of Singles and Decoratives and there is every promise of members showing in large numbers in these classes. The “Mrs A. R. Wallis” Silver Challenge Cup, which was won by Mr 11. P. Fitzgerald, Hokitika, last year, will be awarded to the member gaining the highest aggregate of points in the open Japanese and Chinese classes, whilst a worthy trophy of named variety Gladioli bulbs will be awarded in the amateur section. An appealing trophy donated by Mrs F. W. Shallcrass is being awarded to the winner of the decorative section. Every endeavour has been made by the committee to enlarge the schedule and make worthy prize money. In addition there will be a fine trade exhibit by Miss G. Robinson. The committee is endeavouring to enliven the entrance to the hall by the erection of an archway which will form the basis of further decorations of this nature. The committee is hopeful of increased support of flower-lovers with the reduced charge of admission.
