CAPE EGMONT SHOW

A GOOD EXHIBITION. The above show was held in the Warea Hall on Wednesday, in glorious weather. The show was not such a success as last year, the long dry spell having ripened the fruit much earlier than in other seasons, and all vegetables were spoiled. In pot plants only three entries were sent in; last year quite a large entry in this section was staged. In cut blooms there was a far larger entry than was expected, some very fine exhibits being shown. Of vegetables, there was not a very large entry, but some of the entries were very fine ones. In the dairy produce section there was a larger entry than last year. Bread, cakes, etc. were also very good. There was a fairly large number of entries in bouquets and floral designs. In the miscellaneous section some fine work was exhibited in several classes that were not scheduled last year. In the children's classes there was more interest taken than in the previous year. The attendance at the show in the afternoon was very fair, while at night a good crowd was present. During the early part of the evening music was provided by several ladies. The gift auction held in the evening proved a success.

The floral designs were particularly good. In an anchor, Mr. Parker had the word "Warea" designed in blue hydrangeas and red geraniums, which was very effective. During the luncheon, held after the judging, Mr. Burgess thanked the judges and stewards, and this was responded to by Messrs Elwin and Rooks. During the evening nail-driving competitions were arranged by the ladies, and resulted in Miss K. E. Corbett winning the prize. Guessing competitions were also held. The sheep-guessing was won by Mr. J. Millar; the number of beans in a bottle was won by Mr. T. R. Julian, and a similar competition with peas was won by Miss K. E. Corbett. Mr. B. A. Layard had a nice collection of honey for exhibition only. Mesdames Millar and Larking were in charge of the refreshment booth. The following is the prizelist:—
