HORTICULTURAL SHow.-The annual hort-
cultural show will open at Mechanics hall this
evening, and continue to be attractive until
Friday night. Every good citizen who owns a
pear tree or grape vine was busily at work yes
terday-or ought to have been-picking his
choicest specimens to grace the tables of the
horticultural society. Frost has not come yet
to cut down the flowers, so We may confidently
expect gorgeous floral display at Mechanics
hall in addition to the contributions from the
greenhouses, which always form an important
feature of the attractions of the annual exhib-
tiOns.

tural society indicate a lively interest in the
coming fair which will open Thursday OF
