HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.
Autumn Show. The autumn show of the Christchurch Horticultural Society was held to-day in the Oddfellows' Hall. The display was a very good and effective one, but the absence of one or two exhibitors who showed largely in former years, and the effects of the gale of laßt week, reduced the number below what was seen at the show last year. In quality, however, there was no, falling off. The cut blooms were, on the whole, exceedingly fine. The pot plants were not so numerous as at the corresponding show last year, but comprised one of the greatest attractions of the exhibition, a very fine collection displayed by Mr T. Abbott. The fruit was excellent in quality, if somewhat wanting in quantity, and the vegetables were admirable.
