WAITARA ROSE SHOW

MANY MAGNIFICENT BLOOMS CHAMPIONSHIP TO R. D. LEIGHTON 1 RECORD ENTRIES AND ATTENDANCE. With record, entries in practically all sections the eighth annual rose show and sale of work which opened last night in St. John’s hall, Waitara, under the auspices of St. John’s Anglican Church, must be voted a distinct success. The wealth of blooms not only in the rose section but also in the art flower and decorative section, representative of a wide district, were a tribute to the fertility of the soil and to the love of horticulture that must be predominant. In roses the championship was secured by R. D. Leighton, Westown, with a Climbing Ophelia. The same exhibitor also showed the runner-up. The fancy work and home industries sections also contained large entries, showing the skill and industry of the ladies of the district. Special attention was given to the primary school children’s section, and here was to be seen some exhibits of raffia and cane work that were distinctly creditable to the pupils and to the teachers. There were also large entries, and keen competition in. the writing and drawing sections, giving , the judges an unenviable task. There was a splendid attendance in the afternoon, when Canon G. H. Gavin, president of the show committee, introduced Mr. S. G. Smith, M.P., who as patron performed the opening ceremony. Throughout the afternoon and evening the hall was thronged with spectators, who found much to interest them in inspecting the exhibits and the well stocked stalls, all of which appeared to do good business. The stallholders were: Fancy work, Mesdamcs H. Joll and Fookes; sweets, Misses Kempsell and Armstrong; plain sewing, Miss Gavin and Mrs. W. Joll; cake and produce, Mesdamcs J. Smart, Wells and Radford; Christmas trees, Mesdames Calder and Kempsell; afternoon tea, Mesdamcs Hine, J. Foreman, Red ward, Misses Pearce and Joll and assistants. Despite the increased entries the organisation was so good and all the officials worked so well that the exhibits were all attractively displayed and the judging completed early. With increased receipts from the attendance and increased entries the committee,, and particularly the honorary secretary, Mr. J. W. Hapiill, and his assistant, Mr. R. H. Rathbone, can feel to a large extent recompensed for their painstaking work. The show will be continued to-day. The detailed awards are: —
