TOKOIVIARU BAY SOCIETY

(Herald Correspondent.)

A meeting of the Committee of the Tokomaru Bay Horticultural Society was held yesterday, there ' being present Messrs. J. Todd, in the chair, and Pollock, Mesdames Hollever, Brydon, Grant and JohnsOn and Miss E. Busby. Various matters in connection with the late show were dealt with, and all outstanding accounts passed for payment. A satisfactory position was disclosed in the finances.

Votes of thanks were accorded Messrs. F. Wickens and G. A. Neill, and the, judges for their services. The matter of holding an autumn show was discussed and it was resolved, on the motion of Miss Busby, seconded by Mrs. Johnson, that a show should be held on Tuesday, April 29. It was decided to award a trophy for tho aggregate in the needlework section for this show only, and to keep in viovv tho question of a cup or vase for this section as in the other sections.

Subject to their consent, the following judges were appointed: Flowers, vegetables and fruit, Mr. Lull (Gisbome) ; decorative, Mrs. Harold Williams (Ruatoria); cookery and produce, Mrs. R. Kemp (Ruatoria); needlework, Mrs. B. C. Watkir.s (Ruatoria). Stewards for the different sections were also appointed, with a recommendation that each steward should secure a helper, with the idea of the latter taking on the work in future shows. Some of the same members have been acting as stewards for years, and it was felt that the time had arrived when they should ho relieved of the duties, or their work lessened.

Mr. Todd moved that in recognition of the long and faithful work of the late Mr. "W. Oates, sen.* for the society a ,voto of sympathy with the members of his family should be recorded. This motion was carried.
