SPRING SHOW. J"l S> The Spring' £> w un ?f r t ,s e auspcieso? the W«lm>K? a Hor S i cu , l : tural and Industrial Soelety v.." 153 neia in the Victoria Hall, Carteften, • ast Saturday. The Show was a great success from every point of view, the attendance of the public being very large during the day and evening. There was a particularly fine collection of cut flowers, more especially in sweet peas and roses. The prize for the best rose in the room was secured by Mrs W. H. Booth with a beautiful specimen of white maman cochet, which was greatly admired. The decorative classes were the feature of the Show, and the quality, variety and arrangement were the subject of some very flattering remarks from the judges. The pot plants were well represented, the competition being fairly keen. The entries in the fruit and vegetable sections were not numerous, but this was compensated by the excellent quality of those shown. First class entries were made in local productions, and the home work far exceeded previous Shows. In the children's class the • freehand drawing drew the most entries, the prize in this tailing to Master T. Beard. SplenJid exhibits , of carnations and roses were made by Messrs F. Cooper, Ltd., of Wellington, pot plants by Mr H. Poole, and Messrs Gibbons and Co., Wellington, and a fine collection of roses by Messrs J. Laird and Son, of Wangnui. Messrs E. Hale (Masterton) and H. Poole (Wellington) judged the pot plants, cut flowers, and fruit and vegetables, and Mesdames W. H. Hosking and C. A. Tabuteau, of Masterton, judged the home work, local productions, and children's class. During the evening several selections were rendered by the Carterton Brass Band and the Carterton Glee Club, and Miss Scott gave a particularly clever and graceful exhibition of club swinging.
