FALL FRUiTs AND FLowErs Tho Fall EKhibi iou
OF tde BrCokyo Horticultural Society closed Last
evening. after ttres dag dispsy Of fruits and
flowers. The Exhibition was held in tho Athe1.au,
OF the corner OF Atlantic AID Clinton streetA Tee
hail was crovdsS every day and evening With raeG-
bers Of the Society and oaer visitors; and as this Er
hibion is always one Of fashionable reeo the sSeae
was one Of continued gsyety.
The Horticultural Society Is oue Of the "peculiar
Institutions" Of Brooklyn, and. in one view, hdL, il
,be temple Of taste and art parallel niche with the
Philharmonic Society. The came fashionable prac
tces are common TO both. People go TO the PhlnAr-
monic Society," rot to hear bat 10 be heard and peo
pie 90 to tie Horticultural Society, not TO see but to
be seep. The Atheneum is Of the ssmc brick sad
s,one with tie Academy Of Music and the entrance
10 both is through the mi.lner-shop. The maid
have q new drees for "the exhibition" a. they
have for balls and the opera; and the swsns' 90 to
the expense of fresh gloves to enlist in the brilliant
promepsdes around the hall.
Mis- Prose1pne is always expected to bs there
not to gather flowers" for visitors arc requested
net touch the articles, but 10 exhibit herself
fairer flower" Miss Proserpne, during her evenings
there, is expected to glow in the cheeks like the
blossom Of the gefanium and to scatter from her
handkerchief the incense and odSrs Of the Jockey
Club. Everybody, therefore, sces to the exhibition
principally 70 zee Miss Proserpne, while the peas and
beaps the cucumbers and ysms the apples and pears,
the dAhiiss and hesths merely take advantage of the
crowd that sdmires her petals to show their osca
more humble rinds and stems.
A band Of music was in attendance throughout the
exhibition, which sdded 10 the exhIaraton of the
company, though hardly to the proper attractions of
the occssion; for flowers are mostly enjoyed when
people are in quiet moods. brass band has no more
place among Aowsr.pots than a Chinese gong during
sermon. No music can be safely added to flowers,
except the music Of BIRDS but this has not yet become
feature of apy Of our horticultural exhibitions aud
perhaps never will.
The tables in the Atbea&um divided their burdens
about equally between flowers and fruits. There were
less flowers and more fruits than last year, The cold
weather. Of cosrse, had something to do with this
rsDgement. a the outdoor plants were few. But The
Exhibtion-eIcept of the skirts and bonpete-on the
whole was very credtable
Among The fruits, the Grapes were the most luscious
and tempting as they slwsys are. Many varieties OF
white, black and purple were exhibited-such a.
white Syrian" white Tokay," "Royai Musca-
tiLe," "Muscat Of Alexandria" "Wilmot" "Whits
Froptieuac" Black Hamburg " Fraukin.
dale" "Black Prince" Wilmot's Hamburg
the "Purplo Damascus" and many others
of the Tyrian hue, not to mention the common ca.
tawbs." Tho " Rebeccs Seeding" q specimen Of
which was exhibited last year, was shown; ALEC the

mems of pears were very fine, particularly the nu-
m e1ous French.named varieties, though perhaps
hardly any of these more teiptng to the eye or
palate than the familiar Bartlett" or Seckel.p Ns-

peaches. nutuegs and watermelons were among the
lu1ures which We can not merely afford to see, but
afford 10 est.
The department of vegetables comprised the usual
yams beets eggpaLts, tomatoes, potatoes, parsley,
pie plants, peppers, cucumben, cabbages, &C., of
which many Of the adies found not TO know the
nsmes
The cut flowers were chiefly dahas, with few

The plants in pots were in good condition and
made fine display. Among the best single spe-
