BLANDFORD HORTICULTURAL AND BEE

SHOW.

This anon al six iw took place on Friday, in Bryan.ton
Park. The exhibits were displays iin long tents well
adapted for the purpose, but the heat in the bee tent
wee intense. The quality of the ti mere, fruit, and
vegetables was remarkably g ad, and the Cottagers'
Class wan rather larger thee usual, but there appeared
to be a falling off in the Amateurs Close. There was,
al usual, a beautiful collection of greenhouse plazas
and flowers, which were not for competition, including
some choice verbenas (a collection of 60 different
varieties), and roses showo by the executors id the late
H. Blaniford, of the Sandford Nurseries. At one
end of the teat were 120 potatoee—eome of them very
large ones, taken f rout one rootosent in by Edwin Elf ord,
of Houghton. The bee show was the largest the
Dorset Aslociation bee seer bad; and wee, In fact, the
largest ever held In the West of England. The coin.
petition in all classes was so keen that the judges
experienced some difficulty in making their awards,
and were compelled In several in.tanoss to give extr
prima 0 insid-ring the nnfavoorable season that had
to be contended with early In the year, the show of
hon.y wag splendid. Hives of all kinds were displayed
In great verlety—from bee-palsoee down to the hum-
blest " ekep " suitable for cottons's.
The Judges were :—Fruit, flowers, and vegetable.,
