BANGIORA FLOWER SHOW.

Tho fourth exhibition, under the auspices of the Bangiora Hortioaltural Society, took plaos yesterday, when » really orediMbls die* play was made. Tbe season proved too far advanced for a first-class exhibition of flowers, and those shown were not of a high standard. Tho large and varied supply of fruit and vogotanlos, however, amply made up for any deficiency in the floral department. The staging of the exhibits was again effectively carried out under tbe superintendence of Ur D. Nairn, of Addington. A stand of dahlias, exhibited by Mr Greenaway, attracted much attention during the day, as also did 18 excellent trusses of verbenas, shown by Messrs Nairn and Sons. Some very fine rhubarb was exhibited by Mr Greenaway. The total number of exhibits was 860, and in many instances the prizes were closely contested. The day being fine, a largo number of visitors attended, and the receipts at the door were very satisfactory. Tbe following is tho prize list.:— Judges—Open classes, Messrs T. Turner and J.
