Of the character of the exhibition we may say

we are informed that the entriee were not quite so

the whole county. The arrangements of the show
were very similar to those on former occasions.
Three tables were placed along each tent, and that
down the middle was the broadest, and permitted
the erection of a stage of several tiers for large plants
and floral devices, which formed an extensive dis-
play on either side. The committee deserve great
reedit for the good management of the show, and
they would also merit our special thanis if they
would prepare the prize list in such • manner, that,
as at other exhibitions, we could obtain a copy of

forming the committee were :—W. C. Fincham,

For the first time the exhibition took place under
the patronage of • list of distinguished ladies re-
aiding in the neighbourhood, and their good offices,
doubtless, gave a tone and edui to the meeting which
could not otherwise tare characterised it. The lady
patronesses were : —Lady Attitude Sturt, Rareness

whose reputation as a rose and dahlia grower, which
is his speciality, stands high throughout the country,
staged a rich display of doubtless the best roses in
the country, and a collection of dahlias, which, for
symmetry and variety of colour, are unsarpageable.
Great was the throng in this part of the marquee
throughout the forenoon, and the apecimens elicited
exclamations of surprise and delight from all claims
of vidton Of cornea Mr. Keynes did not enter
the lists as • competitor for any of the prises offered;
that would have rendered so hopeless the chance of

have been expected to decline the meted. But be

admired. The fern tribe was represented by no
lees than 74 distinct varieties, 24 greenhouse and 40
hardy. A collection of the beet ftichsias and
geraniums was also included in their twee collection;
amongst the former we noticed a splendid plant of
the variety named Colossus, which has a particularly
fine double purple corolla, and the latter class
included the celebrated Mrs. Pollock. The
Dorchester nursery was also represented very credit-
ably, Messrs. Harris and Son exhibiting • fine collec-
tion of geraniums and fuchsias, which found so much
favour with the judges that Viey were awarded no
lan than fin first-class prime The tricolour lie
geraniums elicited the universal admiration of the
visitors particularly Mrs. Pollock, &meet, Piotarsta,
and Italia Unita ; the foliage of these specimens is
exceedingly beautiful, and es bedding plant. they
would be very effective. Mr. R. White, of Poole,
staged, not for competition, some of the beet
varieties of roses, and a collection of stove and green-
house plants, including fermi and MONO but none
of them call for special remark. Meson. Kelway, of
Langport, showed a collection of gladioli. whose
brilliantly coloured spikes attracted much notice.
Leaving the nurserymen to do their bed
ammgst the visitors, we now turn to the centre
table in the tent devoted to all comers.
The gentlemen of the neighbourhood produced a
display of flowers and fruit such as only wealth,
taste, and "kill could ooniNies. From Bryanatone
House there was an unparelleled assortment of fruits
and flowers not for competition, the grapes being
especially fine, and presenting ao tempting NI
appearance that poor human nature could scarcely
fulfil the injunction contained in the tenth com-
mandment. Two floral devices also came from Lord
Portman's establishment, both of which were Sly
affective, and the gorgeous stripe" of colouring in
the dome-shaped trophy elicited general observation.
A fin«, specimen of the new plant ltaphanue madam,
or, dime into our mother tongue, the " rat-tailed
radish," was aalubtbed, and from ita novitlty and

the circurnatanoe that the "radishes "grew from the
branching arms of the plant as a fruit and not a
root, the specimen was regarded with tench curiosity.
The black and white grapes shown by the Rev. H.
T. Bower, and staged at the entrance of the tent,
formed a special feature ; th. y were sichly coleured
and hnr, and hecau.e the aulject geneial remark
and admiration. Second honourn in grapes were
taken by It G. Start, Req. and from that gentle.
Mall'. establishment there was a highly meritorious
show of dahlias, the beat specimens being Lady

and • very fine caladium —the ciliation. The Rev.
H. T. Bower took the first prita for roma, with
nioely•bloomed collection. The other principal
exhibitors were the Baron Hambro, Mrs. Michel,
and Mitchell Henry, Esq., The baron exhibited
the best melon, the peaches and plums shown
were all very floe, in nectarines there was no
particular excellence, and apples were inferior to
those of last year. There were several large baskets
of flowers, in which the gardeners of Mrs. Michel,
M. Henry. Esq., the Baron Hambro, &a, vied with
each other, and produced • magnificent collection of
cut flowers, ferns and foliage; tbe first-named ex-
hibitor was selected for the highest honour in the
department. The stove plants staged on the upper
tier comprised the following ferns in beautiful con-
ditiou —adiantinn formorm, dares fenecularum,
and adiantum trapexiforme. On this stage some
grapes growing in pots ethibited by H. G. Start,
Esq., were • source of pleasure to many. Mews.
Harris and Son, of Dorchester, exhibited • collection
of beautifully striped and well-grown asters, and
took the first prize, la verbenas the blooms had
been damaged by the late rains, and the balsams
were of indifferent quality.
The amateurs' department contained some excel-
lent fruit—grapes by Mr. J. Anton, melons by Mr.
H. E. Huntley, peaches by the Rev. J. Penny,
plums by Mr. T. H. Bennett, the Rev. J. Penny,
and Mr. H. K. Thurston, red currants by Mr. H.
Fisher, and pears and apples by the Rev. J. R.
Quirk and Mr. C. H. Ingram. Mr. Bennet, and Mr.
Ingrain were successful as exhibitors of baskets con-
taining reversl varieties of fruit, and Lady 8. G.
Osborne was awarded an extra prize for some
splendid filberts. The floral display was but mode/.
stet, good as • whole, though there were • goodly
number of specimens premising merit indivilually.
The roses compared with those of Mr. Keynes were
but a poor show, still several of those exhibited by
Mr. H. rooks were very good &moldering the late-
ness of the season, and /dies Durden and Mr. C.
Ingram presented • few excellent bloom.. Mr. C.
Cadie had an admirable collection of dahlias., and
gained several prizes. The asters shown by Mr. J.
Ball were highly creditable, and the Rev. it. Far-
quharenn's geraniums merited the distinction awarded
to them. Verbenas were not good. There wets
• large number of old fuchsias, with rough
thick shapeless stems and but indifferent blooms,
and a few graceful plants flowering freely and well,
raised from this year's cuttings. The best specimen/
in the latter category were staged by Mr. C. H.
Ingram, and a plant of Vainqueur de Penbla.
having • magnificent double white corolla formed
an attractive picture amongst the many common
place plants of that description. The devices and
baskets of flowers ;oriented no novelty of treatment,
but all the old ugly forms and patches of colouring
were reproduced.

The cottager' attained quite as much success as
either of the other classes of exhibitor'. Tbeir
flowers were very good considering the diadem-
tages under which they labour. Rome
really fine plums and apples were produced, and the
show of vegetables was magnificent. The devices of
both garden and wild flowers were numerous, and
*erred as ornaments to the tent amid the mass of
vegetables.
The attendance of visitors was more numerous than
at any previous show, and we were informed that
during the afternoon nearly £lOO were taken at the
entrance gate. Amongst Lineally arrivals we noticed :
—The Lord Portman, Hon. W. H. B. Portman, !LP.,

Soon after the opening of the show, the bands
arrived on the ground. and forthwith the open-air
concert commenced. The playing of the Grenadiers'
band was exquisite in the extreme, and charmed the
ears of the hundreds who oongregated around the
orchestra; while the performances of Mr. Eyers'
band, even by the side of the best regimental band
in England, were such as to warrant Rlandford
people in being proud of it, as they sre known to
be, while they reflected the highest credit on
Mr. Bandmaster Eyers. The programme wan an
