FLOWERS AND VEGETABLES

MATA PIT ANNUAL SHOW. A WONDERFUL DISPLAY. All concerned in the running of-the fifth annual show at Alatapu of flowers and vegetables are to be warmly congratulated on the success they scored yesterday. The hall was a real picture, gay blooms of every conceivable kind, contrasted with lovely foliage plants and samples of the decorative art, ana combining with the utility section 01 vegetables and root crops, making a display that would do credit to many a larger society. The blooms were in many respects finer than last year’s, though there were not quite so many. The hall was well filled in every section. Outstanding in the floral section were, in the opinion of the judge, Mr. C. Goodson, the gladioli, perennial phlox, the lilium auratnm —a specimen flower —and the geraniums, one oi which was as fine as could be seen anywhere.

The judge of decorative work, Mrs. Lovell, was especially 'commendatory ol the decorative saucers, which were quite remarkable for variety and for ideas in design. The decision was a difficult matter. In vegetables, said Air. Syme, the potatoes were a class for number and quality which would be hard to heat anywhere. But there is no doubt the standard right through was exceptionally high. in all other sections there was much clever and artistic work. To the energetic honorary secretary, Miss M. Noble, and the president,-Mr. W. A. Guy, and committee, the society owes a very* great deal. The committee comprised Mesdames Sharp, C'al--der, IV. A. Guy*, Seed, Willis, Misses B. Seed, F. Seed, Guy, Goodwin, Hlickstep, Bo dock, Messrs Sharp, T. Guy, E. Guy, Seed, H. Hoskin. Sherwood, Cal clef, H nek step, L. Hoskin.

Afternoon tea and ice creams were dispensed by small committees of ladies and all did capital work. Various competitions were run and created iiiuch interest.

The judges were: Roses, sweet peas and cut blooms, Air. C. Goodson; decorative, Airs. H. T. Lovell; garden produce, Air. Rod Syme; cakes, etc.. |Mrs. Lewis; preserves, Mrs. AI.
