SHEB.BORNE FLORICULTURAL AND
HORTICULTURAL FETE.

The annual fete of the Sbarbonie llookety .1, IT
the kind permission of G. D. W. Digby, Req., Mid
in the grounds of the Old Castle on Friday. The
weather being favourable there was &large atten-
dance of visitors from Yeovil and the neighbouring
villages. The numerous specimens of flowers, fruit,
and vegetable', were very fine; indeed, we never
witnessed better than were in rame departments,
especially in those containing traits and vegetables.
When all, therefore, was so excellent, towhee's/km
a few would appear invidioraliile 'edges were Mr.
Tilly, of Beth; Mr. Brewer, remir to R. B.
Sheridan, Esq.; Mr. Piper, gardener to Lord Digby,
and another gentleman from Up* ey, near Wey-
mouth, who acted for Mr. Price of Weymouth, but
whose name we did not learn. These grathenes
must have had • most arduous duty to performs in
arriving at their decisions, but so well did they
acquit themselves that we Dever heard the silighleth
degree of dteashafaotion rapeseed by any one. But
beside. the floricultural and horticultural flighty,
there were numerous attractions for the 0111.
The bands of the Royal Marines and the Sherbarnes
Volunteer Rifle Corps were engaged for the occasion,
while the whole of the grounds of the Old Cashes
sad pleasure grounds were thrown open fur prome-
nading. Refreshments of all dererinhoss were pro
-
Tided for the inner man; and, indeed, the oommithes
left undone nothing that they could well have per-
formed to add eclat to the proceeding". In the
town triumphal arches were erected, trees were,
planted, and Last, though not West, the flee old
Abbey Church was thrown open for the impedes
of visitors. In all directions the town a to.
