To Be "Mecca" For Flower Lovers Exhibits. to be More Striking and Colorful Great Show Planned by Directors for the second week the "Manton Challenge Trophy" is again offered by the "Gardeners and Florists Assoela- tion of Ontario" for the beet and most attractive display of hardy cut flowers. Competition is open to all, including private gardeners, but commercial florists and nurserymen are not elig- ible. A replica of the trophy is given annually to the winner. In the amateur floral sections Classes 317 and 318, very slight revisions have been made in conditions or prize money, splendid support having been given by amateur growers to these two classes for the past several years. Special cash offerings of the Toronto Horticultural Society feature Classes 317A and 318A again this year, though these classes are open only to mem- bers of Horticultural Societies, corn- petition ompetition nevertheless will be exceed- ingly keen for the major piacings. Fruit and Vegetable Divisions, as in prior years, will be attractively staged in the Eastern Wing. Vegetables the first week, and Fruit the second week.. Classifications and prizes are well maintained throughout both groups, and a good entry representative of what Ontario can produce will be in competition. The Horticultural Com- mittee, with T. W. Duggan at the helm, are not sparing in their efforts to make the 1933 show a most success- ful one, and the entries and applica- tions for commercial space at present listed indicate taht.much encouraging work is being done. With the side-wall plan as in 1932 to be again used this year, practically the same amount of space for commer- cial displays will be available to trade interests. There will be no decrease In entries, or attractiveness of Floral, Fruit and Vegetable displays at Horticultural Hall, Exhibition Park, this year. The "National" Show forthcoming will be as colorful and as educational in 'all departments as it has ever been. No efforts have been spared by the com- mittee in charge to hold classifications comprehensively in accord with pre- sent day requirements, and prize money on a scale sufficiently high to Well recompense exhibiting growers for the time and stress of competitive effort. I n the Floricultural Division, Class 614, "Plants and Groups," still holds a pivotal place of importance in the prize list. These large five -hundred square feet groups proved so outstand- ingly attractive in 1932 that they have been left unchanged as far as condi- tions are concerned. Section 1 will be for display of hardy trees, plants and flowers arranged in an informal gar- den, and section 2 will be for a display in formal design. Prize monies in these groups are, gold medal and two hundred dollars for first prize, one hundred and fifty dollars for second prize, and one hundred dollars for third prize. Entries for these groups close on August 1st; this early closing date being necessary owing to the large amount of space required for staging, and the importance of allow- ing contestants as much time as pos- sible for designing and proper con- etruction. Cut flowers, Classes 315 and 316, are, as in prior years, required to make Presentations the first and second week of Exhibition, and in the class fel III 111 1,1 t I LnI.

Judd Ob, Toronto's in her glory at Exhibition. time, She is full of life and vigor, with folks from every clime; And merchants by the thousand come, with their countless wares, To help to swell prosperity that everybody shares, 'Tis here we find the engineer has wrought with wondrous skill, To fashion into active power the products of his will. The motor cars, like living forms, all in resplendent hue, Throw radiant beams of shining light their pathway to pursue. The aeroplanes soar high aoft, like purring monsters grey; And motor boats go dashing by in clouds of sparkling spray. - The Radio, like mystic shrine, gathers with eerie wings, The message of the human voice from whatever source it springs. The wonders oaf the "magic eye" are manifold indeed, It vies to wrest the honor from the "button" for its speed; And if you wish to freeze your cream all ready for a treat, The only thing you have to do is—"just turn on the heat." And household needs are not forgot in woman's stately realm, For marvels of electricity are always at her helm. She washes by its hidden power, her "Hoover" rolls along, And every act that she performs she does it with a song. The farmer, too, goes out to plough, with pleasure'and with pride He need not walk the whole day long, he may with comfort ride. His mower and his hayrake now control a swarth so broad, That with little time and trouble a large hay crop may be stored. His reaper does the binder's work, it also threshes grain; Then drops the bags -in handy piles for gathering up again. His house is piped with water, fresh running like the brook, Aud every kind of man's device is there 'with which to cook. One cannot tell of all the things that herein may be found. Here birds and beasts and fishes, and creeping things abound. Here human crafts and human arts with nature's wonders vie, To show forth the great majesty of Him who rules on high.

The meeting extends from Sep- tember 5th to September 8th inclusive. The Futurities, for 3 -year-old trotters and "sidewheelers," have attracted lnominations from the leading Cana- dian stables and many famous sires and dams are represented in the en- tries. Distribution of the book of the meet- ing is now being made to horsemen throughout the country. The card is as follows: Tuesday, Sept. 5th Over Half Century of Continuous Success The world's largest annual exhibi- tion will this year celebrate its 55th anniversary. The opening date this year is August 25th and the closing date September 9th. . Its history dates from 1879, when Toronto, the Capital of Ontario, was, a hopeful centre with a population of about 95,000 compared with 556,618 at present; when the total population of all Canada was less than 4,000,000 as against 10,500,000 in 1933; when there was no trans -continental railway across the Dominion, when motor cars and aeroplanes were things merely dreamed of, and wireless telegraphy, the radio, and motion pictures had not even entered the most vivid imagina- tion. In 55 years the annual exhibition in Toronto has become the greatest in the world, for in the short space of two weeks it attracts about 2,000,000. persons to In displays of some of the most remarkable examples of human ingenuity, some of the best products in. art, science, industry, agriculture, hor- ticulture and other spheres that it is possible to gather together. The exhibition site is within the limits of the city of Toronto and flanks Lake Ontario for one mile and a half. On it are 10Q permanent buildings of attractive designs erected at a cost 2.24 Trot ,Purse $500. 2.24 Pace Purse $500.0000 Wednesday, Sept. 6th ' Three-year-old Futurity for pacers, owned, foaled and trained in Canada.

The total area of the grounds is 350 acres, in which there are 9x/3 miles of paved streets. The exhibition has its own telegraph, telephone, street lighting, street clean- ing, transportation, customs, postal, police, fire and hospital systems, as well as its own administrative depart- ments. The buildings provide over 2,000,000 square feet of space for ex- hibits. More than $100,000 is paid out annually in prize money. To stage this great enterprise every year in- volves an expenditure of about $1,00,- 000. At the Art Gallery Sport at the Canadian National Ex- hibition is about to invade the Art Galleries. This year, the aesthetes and the intelligentsia viewing the mas- terpietes on show will be mingling with man' a mill -run fan, The cream of the celebrated art show in connection with the Xth Olym- piad at Los Angeles will be shown, consisting of more than 50 outstanding canvasses which are among the best works of over 30 leading modern painters. • "The Manassa Mauler," by J. W.. Golinkin, is one entry in the 1933 Art Gallery catalogue; "Schmeling Down," by Earl Purdy, another. There are over a dozen studies of boxing and al most as many turf paintings, includ- ing "Gallant Fox," by Jay Maddox. "Batter Up," by James Chapin, an ac- tion picture of baseball, is considered by art critics to be one of the finest things this painter has done. Chapin became famous for his realistic por- trait of a negro boxer. Polo, wrestling, racing, surf fishing, skating, field sports, swimming, yacht- ing and small -boat sailing, golf, tennis and football, as well as boxing and baseball, are all represented in a col- lection which is certainly the most striking show of this type of painting ever brought into the Dominion.
