WAIKOUAITI HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

The second annual show of the Waikouaiti District Horticultural Society was held in the Public Hall, Waikouaiti, on Wednesday, and was very largely attended. Thetotal entries numbered 530, as compared with 420 for the previous year. The quality of the various exhibits was of a uniformly high standard, and tho judges, in many cases, had considerable difficulty in making their awards. The secretary (Mr F. H. Francis) and" other officials had all the arrangements carefully planned, and are to be congratulated on the show being such a. pronounced success. Mr 11.
