ELISE’S CANNED FRUITS.
TO THE EDITOR Or THE NEW ZEALAND MAIL. Sir,— Writing in The New Zealand Mailol the 24thinstant, Madame Elise, referring to the Horticultural Exhibition, makes allusion to the opinion of judges re certain canned fruits exhibited by her. Being one of those who tested the preserves, as well as being a member of the committee of the Horticultural Society, I think I am only doing my duty, and what I am sure will meet with the approval of all parties concerned, in assuring Madame Elise that she is quite correct in assuming that they (the canned fruits) were mistaken for table preserves. The only excuse I can plead is the large amount of work that had to be performed by the judges of fruit, &c. I am sure the judges will regret having cast an unjnst aspersion on the lady’s handiwork, but some good may accrue from the mistake, as it will show, at least, that the judges were sincere in giving the favorable report of the other preionros.—lam&o., W. H. Taylor. Wellington, March, 27th, 1883.
