KAPONGA HORTICULTURAL SHOW

TENTH ANNUAL SHOW. The Kaponga Horticultural Association held their tenth show in the Athenaeum on Thursday. The weather was perfect and the entries were shown in the best of condition. The specimens • were good, and far abeve the average in this district. ' Round about Kaponga there are several old and well-cared for gardens as well as I glass houses.. Of the exhibitors at the j show Mrs Fiethey showed thfe most and j the best plants. She scored in a great , many classes and also took a most energetic interest in all the decorative sections. Mrs C. S. Walker was well represented in aiir.ost all glasses, while Mr, R. Gibson had a large number of entries. The total •entries showed an increase of a hundred over the last year, and though there weote no nuiierymen present the benches were wiell filled and tho exhibits so well arranged that + h0 general effect was very pleasing. " j There was not a great number of pot j plants, but there wefts some very fine specimens. M^ns Frethey showed some j splendidly grown begonias, and Mrs Wai- ■ ker took first place with geraniums With out blooms there waa more competition ; in- i deed in several thane were half a dozen ] entrants. Fourteen of the classes were won by Mrs Frethey. Sweet peas, phlox drummondi and dahlias were particularly good' sections. The decorative section was one of the features of the* show. There i were six tablets of almost equal excellence. Each was lightly and artistically arranged. The one allotted premier posi- I tion was done in Scotch. bluebells, mauve J sweet peas and fine asparagus fern. The ! Second was arranged with similar sweet peas, daisies and ornamental' grasses. Five of the tables were decorated with sweet peas. "The mantels also wpre of a very high order, but to some they appeared j rather on the heavy sid«. The prizes were I allotted to the lightest oi the five. In the first yellow and iri the second white chrysanthemums were used with, ornamental grasses in each instance. The. vegetable , class was remarkable for the excellence and quantity of the produce. There was .very keen competition in carrote, mangolds, turnips, vegetable marrows, cucumbers, parsnips and potatoes. The prizes wer-« well distributed' The fruit classes also responded well to the tftoallent season. The j quality was excellent and many of the I prize winners, contrary, to thie usual emstom. came from the vicinity of Kaponga. In the cookeiy'olass bread was- tfoe main section, and for tins fcherte were eleven entries. The cakes and other delicacies appeared to be above the average usually shown.

According to the Auckland Herald of Monday, the auxiliary steamer Huia, which has been engaged in the work of securing the treasure whioh went down in the Elingamibe, off the Three Kings, returned' to HelaneviUle -on Saturday, refit and fxeprpvieipai. The -weather baa been verY; i bad.:durinig. ( thie past monthrior prosecuting the work, a heavy swell prevailing most of the time. The diver was only able to work for a couple., of -days, but dtodng^that 'tim 6' managed* to obtain some more of the treasure. As soon as the wota of refitting and has .been finished, the Huia, will letrarn to the Three Kings again. Captain D. McKenzie, master of the vessel, and Mb J cxew, are in great hopes (the Herald J state® of secuaiing the balance of- the ifcneasure, provided the weather proves favorable. ; j The weariness of age may be overcome with Steams' Wine, the best tonic for old people, for it whets the appetite and aids digestion, thus aiding the body where I mos needed. — Advt. Nothing could be worse for the system than some of those violent cathartics ox purgatives that some people take to move their bowels. They frequently cause constipation, sometimes inflammation. Chamberlain's Tableta bring on a natural action, mildly .and geirtily, which, cures the, real' trouMer without dangerous ' after. «f : 1 fecte. FoVaaie by W. X: Wallace, chem- ; iet, and H. E.
