WARMINSTER COTTAGERS GARDEN
SOCIETY.

The ninth annual exhibition of this flourishing
society took place on Thursday, in the peen&
East-end-house, which were kindly plaosd at the
disposal of the committee by Mr. Thomas Hardick.
The weather was particularly fine, and consequently
a great number of persons 'visited the show. The
Bradford and Warminster bands were engaged, and
they discoursed some excellent mane .cring the
afternoon. The judges were for wild flowers, :
Rev. C. D. Crawley, Rev. —Wethered. and Mr. H.
Haden. For fruits, vegetables, do. :Mews. George
and James Wheeler Mr. Anderson, (of Longfleeto
Mr. Grant, (of Bisiopetrow,) Mr. Evans, Mr. E.
Ford, Mr. Thomas Daniels, and Mr. J. Fonton.
There were not so many entries as last year, but
the quality of the vegetables and fruit was excellent,
and a considerable improvement upon last year.
There was very great competition for the prises
offered for cottage gardens and allotments. The
first prize was awarded to James Butcher, of Folly;
but there were 30 competitors, whom claims were
so really on a par that the judges determined upon
giving each • prise of garden too/s. The amount
taken at the gates for admission was £39 fie. 3d.
The prime were distributed by the president of the
society, the Rev. J. E. Phillips, shortly after six as
follows :

Division A,—open to any oottagers, whatever their
employment ; Division B,—open solely to oottagers, no
part of whose occupation is gm dening.

Mr. Philipps mid it only remained for him to propose
a vote of thanks to those gentlemen on whom had de-
volved the management of the fete. He felt, and they
must all fad, that but for their efforts the gratifying
ings of the day could not have taken
proceedings
were then given for the gentlemen named,
Messrs. W. Hardick, C. Vicery, Canoe, Hades. ke.
Thanks and cheers were also given to the Vicar for his
kindness in presiding, and to Mr. and Mrs. Hertlisk for
the sae of their beautiful (roods, without which, Mr.
Philipps remarked the society could not exist. The pro-
ceedings then terminated.

CIICILBT CLUB r. BOYTOX MID Pi rianiousswob.—
Tbia return match was played as Cod/ord on Friday,
the 31st ult., and, AS will be sees by the score, ter-
minated in favour of the former by 81 runs. The
bowling of H. Haden was very effective, which,
combined with admirable fielding, led to the satis-
factory result for the club. We are sorry that, while
fielding in the very early part of the game, Captain
Davis so injured his leg that ha was unable to play
afterwards, but a very able substitute was found in
Mr. Grwitham. The following is ths score :
