non wrrs FLown Siows.—Thoss who are in the
habit of attending Bower shows in the capacity of
judges have frequent occaldon to complain of the late
hour at which the exhibit. are staged for their hamper,
don. Almost every schedule of orbits fixes an boor at
which the subjects competing 'hall be tiered ready for
the judge., but it le often an hour or two later before
staging is completed. The consequence Is that
eubecribers are indignant at being excluded from the
tents after the time named for admission to tht
because the judges have not finished their work; and
somatimes it happen. awards have to be mad* in the
midst of the crowd, with the exhibitors immediately
oonoerned at the elbows of the judges. The clerical
work alao gets considerably retarded, it ia quite late in
the afternoon before the prise cards are Axed to the
winning exhibit.; and reporters, to whom time s a
matter of great moment, are precluded from getting
a correct prize-list till late in • day. If secretaries
are remonstrated with, the invariable reply Is that
exhibitors cannot be got to bring their plant. *early
enough to the plane of exhibition. The obvious reply
Is, that if rules are made rules should be adhered to ,•
that it is not a matter in which the convenience of
exhibitors can be alone dulled ; and that if committees
would courageously stand by their rules the exhibitors
would soon do what is required of them. One great
evil is the appointment aa stewards of members of
committees who are 1.1.10 exhibitors. The Stewarde
appointed to superintend the arrangement. of the tents
should be responsible persons, who can give their
entire attention to their work.—Geralesers etroisick.
