Broughton (10). tho scores being 26 —16 in the challengers’ favour. Tho holders, who won the Buttons from Terraco End last season, successfully defended the trophies on no fewer than eight occasions.

The door takings at the flower show on Monday were almost as high as last year, and tho attendances in tho afternoon and evening were very satisfactory. Competition winners were: Mr F. J. Mansell and Miss Francis (Sanson). Visitors state that of all the shows which they have seen this season, the Bulls show was the best, the display of roses being remarkably good considering the unfavourable weather experienced this spring.
