THE 'FLOWER SHOW. After a rest of several veaes the Horticultural Society decided to hold a flower show this year and with characteristic energy they eet to work to make the affair a suresl,s. Those not immediately ceneerne,1 were Scarcely aware that iiiiiis,S were being dor is but noone vismieg - Die stow of ThurSday evening an I nu ing the culmination tof their elitists could doubt that a awning of pei.ple had worked hard and very effectiwsls ,in order to bring,abeskp :inch a result The exhibit was held in the council chamber, which was turned inf 0 a veritable bower of betnine foe the occasion. The chamber itself, which has been enlarged and decorated, is a much more suit- able place for the holding of such an affair than formerly and those dropping id for a look were literally astonished by the display. Tables running around the full 'ength el the walls as well as a lone, nlh1e table down the centre of the room were filled with ferns, trailing plants, rare planth with rich, beautiful fol- iage, flowering plants and sjeat bowls of cut -flowtrs. Such Pto- fusion and . such variety. "You'd hardly havo believed that such a col - rection .could have been made; in Clin- ton," remarked one of those respon- sible for the exhibit in reply to an expression of surprise at its extent. And so it was. There, were the tall and itately gladiolus, the friendly and wholesome astor, the color and variety of each being many, the brir- Kant tuberous begonia, the dainty pansy, the queenly rose, the graceful dainty and altogether charming campanilla and many other var- ieties which only those engaged in cultivating them can successfully classify. Some of the foliage plants and begonias were singularly beauti- ful and all were so artistically ar- ranged that their beauty was • well brought out. The show was open at seven o'clock and all everiing the chamber was crowded with admiring spectate:is. It entailed a lot of work, the re- ward of winch was but the apprecia- tion of those who came to view, but that was lavishly hnstowed. And such an exhibit can 'hardly . help bearing fruit In a renewed interest in the cultivation of flowers, which is an end to wideh, no doubt, the Society was aiming. It did seem a pity that it was only for one even- ing, it would have drawn interested crowds for two or three more, but those in charge have the gratitude of the citizens for one evening's pleas- ure. Among those loaning 'Plants aril flowers for the occasion were : Dr. l'hoinepson-, Mrs. Wes. Walker, Mrs. D. Cook, Mrs. J. Hamilton, Mr's. W. Whitehead, Mrs. T. Greig, Mrs. Chas Bartliff, MrS.
