HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY,

The summer show was held in the Parish Hall, this year, the usual place for the show having been removed by fire. A very excellent display was somewhat spoilt by the want of room, and the committee would be well advised to procure a larger building for future shows. The judges were: Flowers and pot plants, Messrs C. Hammond and T. Grace: fruit and vegetables, Mr M. Campbell; cookery and produce, Mrs Glasson and Mrs Strong; home industries and decorated tables, Miss Ladbrook and Miss Comber.

The president, Mr G. 11. Patrick and the secretary, Mr F. Morgan, with their class stewards, had a busy time arranging the 450 entries that came forward. The attendance of the public was good, and the increased membership of the Society this year should give a good financial result. The following is the prize list: POT PLANTS. Maidenhair Fern—G. H.
