MARTON ROSE SHOW

FUNCTION OPENED YESTERDAY THE AWARDS The annual rose and flower show and industrial exhibition (under the auspices of the Methodist Church) was opened in the Civic Theatre yesterday afternoon.

The show of blooms although not quite so numerous as on previous occa sions formed a very attractive display and were greatly admired, the wet weather no doubt accounting for the falling off.

The show was officially opened by Air E. Newman, C.M.G., who sym| us-

ed with the show authorities on i,. adverse weather conditions which had affected the number of exhibits. He pointed out that the standard of exhi bits was particularly high notwithstanding the weather and expressed the hope that the function would prove a financial success. He apologised for the a.jsci.ee of Airs Newman, owing to an indisposition and had great pleasure in accepting on her behalf a beautiful bouquet from Audrey Stewart. Air C. C. Rasmussen (Aramoho) judged the ent flowers and decorative classes; Mrs G. T. Avery, industrial; Mr John Alilos domestic and Air Ironmonger (Hunterville) the school section.

Miss Rhoda Wing. Alarton Junction, who is a membe ■ of the Society of New Zealand Professional Floral Artists, had on exhibition a beautiful selection of floral designs. Alessrs A.
