COTTAGE GAIII/A-N SOCIETY.- -The second annual exhibi-
tbot f the Whiteelurch Cationicortain and Stanton St.
Gobriels Cottage Garden Society was held in Mr. Miller's
field opposite the National School-mom on Thursday laid.
Two marquees were erected at the upper end of the field,
the one on the left being for the members exhibits arid
that on the right for the cottager', The interior of these
tenta presented a very beautiful oppear•noe, being taste-
fully garlanded with evergreens, flower., &c., whilst the
arrangement of the pot flowers and cut flowers was very
p_retty. Mrs. Luttrell, Miss Weal.,, Dr. J. Wyer, and
Mrs. Pares kindly lent noise choice plants, and these were
greatly admired. There was • very nice display of fruits,
vegetables, and flowers. Some of the potatoes were
exceedingly fine, and well grown, and it woo almost •
wonder where so many of prime quality could be obtained,
considering that nine out of every ten potatoes taken up
in the district, are, we are told, found to be diumed.
There were nil dishes shown altogether. The cabbages and
tnnii pa were a good show, some of the former weighing as
much as Efiba. each. Some choice beans of the various
sorts were also exhibited. The exhibition altogether must
be pronounced a great suer.,,,: and this must he very
encouraging to the 'when and gentlemen in the district
who gave the prizes. The following are the gentlemen who
hail the monument President, Mr. H. Boaanquet ;
secretary, Mr. E. Rendall ; treasurers, Rev. F. F.. Allen
and Mr. J. J. Midway ; committee, Messrs. H.
Gillingham, Charles Knight, Thotuas Miller, William
Moores, Simeon Synionds, jun., and John Govier.
Mr. poster's band (Bridport) was engaged, and during the
afternoon and evening played • choice selection of dance
and other innate, and there was a large gathering of
visitors ; in fact, the villagers themselves seemed to keep
the .3c:coition as a holiday. A flag floated on the top of the
tower, and the bells were rung at intervals. Mr. Robert
Cheild (Throe Bells Inn) supplied refreshments in the
field and in the intervals between the dances he was
largely patronised. The judges were Mr. Jeliont, (gardener
to Mr. T. Colfox, Rao, Bridport), and Mr. Batten (gardener
to Mrs. Luttrell. Woolton House) and the following is
their hit of awanls
