Bournemouth the rain had ceased, the sun shone out, and
they tailored • most delicious summer's day. Some went

over the Sanatorium, conducted by • Sunday school

long benefit from the institution. They returned hi

PORTLAND HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. ,1
The annual vegetable sad flower show in roan, etion
with this society was held in the Drill 11811 of the ith D. V. A.,
Easton. on Thursday, and brought together a capital
collection of the fruita of the earth. The Judge. were
Mr. Newberry (11Pwiry), Mr. Mgr. (Nottingham). and
Mr. Purnell (Weymouth), who were fully equal to their I
work and who were engaged for • considerable time in
decitll on the respective merits of the exhibit'. The
vegetable, were arranged on tables close to the wall and
extended all round the building, the flowers being the
central attractan. The vegetable show taken alt h.lether
was exceedingly good, the products being lare and well.
shaped. Of potatoes there was a splendid collection. and
there can be no doubt the soil of the island moat he most
favourable for the growth of the vegetable. Them was a
stronger competition in this article of food than in any
other, and the whole of the exhibits were remarkably
good. There was a prize for the heaviest dozen pot ytoes,
and this wan taken off by some being shown weighing
• tros. ; but they were not attractive in appearance,
while cabbages were by no means cool, the dry season
having been unfavourable to their growth. The Cum-
petition in beans and peas was hut limited. In the runner
species Mr. F. Pearce won first honours by showing • very
evenly grown sample. In the dwarf kind there were
some good exhibits, and the first prise was justly awarded
to Mr. J. Bennett. Carrots were good, the different
varieties being exceedingly well grown and large.
The show of green peas was by no means good,
but out of the samples shown there wee no difficulty
In awarding first prize to Mr. J. Wallis. Although the
entries in turnips were not numerous those shown were
well grown, considering the dry mason. In onions there
was very keen competition, and in the culture of this
vegetable the medical gentlemen of the 'eland seem ti
take intereet, as amongst the prisetakers are the names of
Dr. McLean and Dr. Parsons. Sense well grown pirsnioes
but not very many, were shown. Cucumber, were good,
• brace exceedingly well shaped taking off first prise.
Lettuce was a very poor show. There was • gcod collec-
tion of marrows, but the prize taken did not fall to the
largest. The collection of vegetable& four of various
kinds, brought acme well grown articles forward, but
nothing could bear comparison with Mr. Cawley',, The
class for fruit failed t, produce much competition. There
was only two dishes of gooseberries, for lath of which Mr.
.1. Lynhats took the prises. One entry In white currants
was the only exhibit in that particular fruit, and was
shown by Mr. J. C. Lane. For the beet dish of any other
fruit Mr. R. Coombs t ask first prise with • good sample of
plum; and Mr. H. Rumen second with • fine dish of
apples. There we. a very nice dimity of flowers, fore-
most amongst these being a collection from Mr.
Christopher's nursery at Elwell. He furnished • lot for
competition in the open dam, and, us a matter of course,
took off the first prize. In addition he kindly lent •
splendid collection of fruit, flowers, fern& and Planta The
fruit consisted of grapes, peaches, nectarines, melons,
and apricots. Some of the choicest fern, front hbt
nursery were on view, whilst the display of cocks-
comb. was among the great features of hi. exhibit.
The Rev. J. A. Baser sent • Cife of very handsome
petunias. and Mrs. Wildman • nicely grown fuchsia,
tat in neither cue for competition, whilst Mr. J. Psltuer,
of Rodwell station, sent, under the 1401/C conditions, a
good sample of honey. C 1... I was rontinei to cottager,
or amateur flower growers only, whilst Clam I wm open
to all residents on the island. In the former Mr. J.
Bennett seemed to take the lion's share of honours, whilit
Mr. J. C. Lano was most suorotrful in the competition
open to the island. and in the all comers' prizes for the
hest collection of flowers in pots took off second honours.
Mr. Christopher, of the Nurseries, Epwey, as we have
before said, taking first. Mr. Lane waa also fortunate
in carrying off first honours in the all comers competition
for the best collection of vegetable.. Dsritig the afternoon
and evening the show was very fairly attended. The hand
