TAPANUI HORTICULTURAL SHOW.

Tho annual show held l»y tho TapanuiHorticultural Society wasagain open in tho Tapanui Town Hall on Saturday night, when there was att excellent attendance, not only of Tapanui residents, but also of people from the surrounding districts. Tho standard of vegetables and flowers—in fact' of almost everything shown this year—was dot so high as it has been on previous occasions, but this' is to be attributed to Ihe exceptionally bad season that there has been, this year. Tho judging was done by Mr Samson, of Invercargijl, who' considered that on the whole, allowing for' the bad season, the show was a good one, and could comparo very favourably with those held in other districts of Otago. Tho exhibition , of roses was good as far as quality was concerned, but tho number of entries was very poor. The sweet peas were in themselves ai3o good, but were to a certain extent spoiled by tho cramped manner in which they w«re laid out. Tn the fruit section the judge expressed himself of the opinion that tho red currants were excellent, mid were certainly the best ho had Been for some time. Tho champion rose of the show was tho Marquis of Londonderry, exhibited by Mr John Campbell, who also gained first place for the best hybrid perpetual. A number of fine exhibits was shown by Mr Campbell, in particular a splendid display of asparagus and , one of pelargoniums; and in the fern section he gainecHbe three first places for foKage plants and tho first place for growing ferns. Tho displays of pot plants and palms by Messrs Howdcn and Moncrieff and Mr H. M. West attracted the attention of a large number qf spectators, and were nndoutafly wll worth seeing. A new feature of the show this year was tho introduction of an industrial section, in which prizes were offered for ■wood-carving, frot.work, painting, drawing, and different displays of fancy work. Judging by the number of entries, and also by tlie quality of the work exhibited, this section was one of the TOOst > successful of the show, and one which is likely to bo again brought into future sbows.
