AUCKLAND HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

SWEET PEA AND CARNATION CARNIVAL. It has been decided by the executive of this Society to make the show to be held on the Ist, 2nd, and 3rd of December next a big event. The committee have taken up the matter unanimously, and are working with enthusiasm to make the carnival a huge success. The event will take place within the Metropolitan Grounds, and the various exhibits will be displayed in tents. An influential committee of ladies will assist the executive in arranging details of the numerous attractions for the publie. Mr Brett, who recently visited the great Shrewsbury Show in England, is entering heartily into the project, and placing valuable information before the committee. Any suggestions our readers may have to offer will be carefully considered; these should be sent without delay to the secretary, Mr W. Wallace Bruce.

We congratulate the committee on their plucky venture, and sincerely trust their efforts will be rewarded, as they certainly deserve to be, by witnessing the biggest and best exhibition ever seen in Australasia. Here is something new, and on a scale never before attempted here, and the general public in town and country should note the dates and turn out in thousands; we feel sure they will.
