OWAKA FLOWER SHOW

* AN IMPROVED DISPLAY The Owaka Autumn Flower Show, which wag held on the afternoon and evening of Thursday, proved to be an outstanding success, and was favoured, not only with a large number of entries, but also by a larger attendance than wag anticipated. The marked improvement in the quality of the entries in the cut blooms, decorative, and vegetable sections showed that exhibitors had profiled from experience gained at previous shows, and, on this occasion, an alteration in the staging arrangements enabled competitors to display their exhibits to greater advantage. Financially, the result of the show compared favourably with that of last year, and the joint organisers (Mrs J. Ryley and Miss I. Roger) have every reason to.feel satisfied with their undertaking, which is for the purpose of augmenting the Presbyterian Sunday School funds.
