DISPLAY OF FLOWERS

AUSPICES ST. LUKE’S CHURCH. SEVENTH ANNUAL FIXTURE. The seventh annual autumn Horticultural Show under the auspices of St. Luke’s Church, was opened in the Parish Hall yesterday afternoon and is being continued to-day and tonight. Entries in all sections are well up to the standard of previous years, in both quality and quantity, especially in the Aster and Zinnia sections. The children’s classes have also been well patronised. There is also an excellent display of vegetables. The flower show was opened yesterday by Dr. Isaac, who, on behalf of those responsible for the fixture, thanked those who had had charge of arrangements, and particularly the secretary, Mr. B, J. Drake. Dr. Isaac referred to the general excellence of the blooms, which were, he was sure, worthy of any flower show, also to the fact on this occasion the blooms had been arranged in a much more attractive manner than in previous years. A contributing factor to the success of the show this year had been the favourable weather experienced. In addition to the flower show, there are several stalls in charge of the ladies of the church, while a miniature golf course is receiving a great deal of patronage from both young and old. In connection with the latter a trophy has been presented by Mr. A. Blackman, and will go to the competitor who returns the lowest score card. Afternoon tea and supper are provided, the ladies having charge. The judges were: Flowers, Mr. M. Williams, Te Awamutu; vegetables, Mr. J. Graham; cooking, Mrs. A. B. Jordan. Prize money will be paid out this afternoon ..and this evening. CUT FLOWERS. Collection of Annuals.—Mrs. Johnston 1, Mrs. H. Gould 2. Collection of Six Kinds. —Mrs. H. Gould 1, Mrs. Johnston 2.
