BEAUTY IN BLOOMS

ST. JOHN’S ROSE SHOW SUCCESSFUL WAITARA EFFORT. A WONDERFUL DISPLAY. The fifth aunual rose show of St. John’s Anglican Church, Waitara, was opened yesterday afternoon by the Ven. Archdeacon Evans. He expressed his pleasure at acting in this capacity at a show which, in view of the stormy weather conditions experienced lately, he considered one of the most wonderful he had ever seen. He congratulated the friends of the church who had combined in their efforts to make so successful a display. He made mention of the beneficent influence that a love and study of flowers had upon human nature. He concluded with the hope that in every way the show would prove the success that the worthy efforts of the committees warranted. The Bev. E. H. Strong, who judged the school competitions, then made a few remarks upon the work that he had judged. In his opinion, the exhibits were splendid, and the map-drawing was particularly good. It was satisfactory to realise that the children took such interest in their work. The hall presented a pleasing display of all exhibits. The roses, cut flowers, and home industries classes were particularly well ' represented. Messrs. Duncan and Davies had their usual striking exhibit of flowering shrubs and flowers. The stallholders were: —Afternoon tea, Mesdames Redward, H. Joll, J. Armstrong, J. Hine and Misses Heath, Pearce and helpers; sweets, Mesdames Brabant, Wells .and Smart; plain sewing, Mesdames W. Joll, Farquhar and Miss Gavin; jumble and Christmas tree, Mesdames H. Calder, J. Kempsell, Radford and helpers; fruit salad, Mesdames Brough, Hall and helpers; fancy work, Misses Johnston and Bowden. Mention should be made of the untiring efforts of the honorary secretary (Mr. R. H. Lawrence) and his efficient assistant (Miss Ethel Fraser), to whom much of the success of tjie function was undoubtedly due. The following acted as judges: Roses and cut flowers, Mr. V. C. Davies; decorative, Mesdames Brookman and Hobbs; fancy work. Mrs. J. R. G. Sutherland; home industries, Mesdames Alexander and Ellerin; vegetables, Mr. G. V. Tate; school classes, Rev. E. H. Strong.
