HORTICULTURAL AND POULTRY SHOW AT

PORTLAND.

This annual show was hell on Thursday at the parish
schoolrootua Refonie, and was a very successful
one. tepecially considering that the Volunteer Artillery
were absent at ramp. This was, in • measure, unfortunate,
because the committee had settled the date of their show
long More they knew of the cnnip. Many of the volun-
teers sool,l have cent both poultry and vegelable..
The vegetable show was extraordinarily good, consider-
ing the drought in the early part of the season, and %Whetter
than last year, while the poultry, though not no numerous
were quite equal in quality. The fruit was very good and
fairly ahundant, but the flowers were not quite equal to
tart year. This was partly owing to the previous night
having been a rough one, no that growers did not care to
risk their splendid blooms being datnagoil in carrying
through the streets. The non-reception of Portland things
In the nissming caused some divatisfsetion ; but yet there
was a good show f blooms. Mr. G. Clifton, Mr. Driver,
Mrs. Marwool, Mrs. R. Smith, Mrs. Scriven, Mr. It. W.
Wallis,llr. Singleton, 3Ir.W. Attwooll, janr., Mr. Coombe,
Mr. It. nun, Mr. Wallis, very kindly sent flowers to

Mr. White, Mr. It. ELmin, and Mr. J. C. Lazio sent very
fine collections of vegetables. The potatoes in the show
were truly remarkable, both for sire and goodness. The
onions were gigantic and carrot., fine. Of kidney beans
and scarlet runner: • good number were brought. and
vegetable marrows were also numerous. The fruit show
evidenced a decided improvement. The flowers were
staged nearly the whole length of the large school-
room, and the variety was very charming. The
cut flowers, cultivated and wild, were effective, and
some collections of wild ones must have coat immense
research. A very beautiful design of cut flowers, geome-
trically arranged in wet sand, was sent by Mr. Driver, not
for competition, or it would certainly have taken the first
Leixe, other designs in TRACI% Ate., were also charming.
The collectionlof the meet graceful arid delicate ferns,
Princirally from the Grove, was most agreeable to look at,
and relieved the gorgeous display of bloom. Altogether
the show was a derided sIICCANcI.
