FLOWER SHOW AT THE SURREY

- - -
ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.
The Royal South London Floricultural Society held
their second miscellaneous flower show at these gardens
yesterday, and it has never fallen to our lot to report a
more successful exhibition. The day, which was cloudy
at the commencement, continued particularly favourable
throughout, not scorching hot or boisterous as has pre-
vailed lately, but partaking sufficiently of both to render
a flower show delightful. The display of fireworks was
most magnificent, certainly the best we have seen in
these gardens. This society, which ranks second only
to the Horticultural and Botanical Societies, is making
rapid progress in public estimation, as was demonstrated
by the full and fashionable attendance yesterday. The
gardens were crowded, we think not less than twelve
thousand could be present—and every one was delighted
with the entertainment provided for them. The pelar-
goniums, roses, heaths, fruit—in fact, the whole display
was remarkable for quantity and
were awarded as follow: quality. The prizes

The menagerie, to which many valuable additions
have lately been made, including the singular instance
of a tygress and a dog occupying the same den, was
greatly admired. Jullien's band, with his new quadrille
The British Sportsman," which promises to become
highly popular, delighted every one. The singing also
of Madlle. Lovarny and Miss Huddart deserve most
honourable mention ; the first-named lady executed the
delightful song, " Lo here the gentle lark," accompanied
by Richardson on the flute, with great precision and
effect ; and the magnificent contralto voice of the latter
lady was heard with prodigious effect in Balfe's song,
" Then you'll remember me." It is rarely we have
heard so splendid an organ, and it is cultivated with
great taste. Shakspere's house and the Aerial Bridge
had their share of admirers ; and the fireworks, by
Southby, which must be seen to be appreciated, closed
the evenh,g with prodigious eclat.
