LANOPORT HORTICULTURAL SOCII CTY.

The annual flower show and archery fête was
bold Go Thursday, on the grounds of Hill House,
which had been granted by the worthy proprietor
for the occosion. The day was epic Id and the
inhabitants of Loneort used every exertion to give
edai to the wooeedings. }Lod the Quoin or the
Prince of Wales intended to visit the town, they
weld not have dose much more than they did on
this occasion. The streets felt cool and refreshing
from recent watering. and as for decoration, why,
there was a imperabundanos. Flap, bnnerl.
bunting, green boughs, flowers, ribbons, and every
available ornament wee brought into requisitioe
from one end of the town to the other, and far be-
yond the town in every direction. Even the rail.
way company, which never does anything for
anybody, but keep them waiting when the ex-
cursionists want "to move on," erected a
triumphal arch, with an imperial crown. The
shops were all closed, every body old and young,
path and simple, were dressed in their beet, the
streets and road leading to the exhibition were
thionged, and everything appertaining to the town,
animate and inanimate, possessed a thorough holiday
appearance. In the exhibition field we noticed all
the leading families in the neighbourhood, and for
several miles distant, and the whole of the trading
population of the town. The show of flowers, fruits,
sod vegetables was very good, and attracted much
interest. Indeed, for several hours, the tent.'
which the various articles were displayed were .4
inconveniently crowded. The archery fête alga
