the amount of money raised, exceeded
the expectations Of even the most

The store room in the Cooper build

the purpose, and Tuesday and Tuesday

Many of the rarest and loveiiest spcci-

were shown and did space permit we
would like to give the name Of each
together with that of the generous and
kind hearted ladies who contributed to
the show, as well as those who were
most active and instrumental in getting
it up. But modest and noble of heart
and purpose the consciousness of hav.
inc done what they did is its own sweet
reward.
1t was indeed a fitting abode fol

than one hundred different plants were
shown, (many more could have been
but the ladies preferred sending only
their choicest varieties) these were o

all who saw them. Almost without
exception they indicated high skill il

At night refreshments were pro

also. Altogether it was very sue
cessful and enjoyable affair and there
was general regret that it did not las
