THE POPULAR CHRYSANTHEMU UNI.

THE POPULAR CHRYSANTHEMUM.
 The recent chrysanthemum show at St Thomas parish house brought out the fact that there are several especially fine collections of chrysanthemums in town. Among those of greatest merit are Levy Short, Demas Frost, Thomas F. Foster, William Shaw, Harry s. Glover, Edward Gehrels and others whose names have slipped our memory. The popularity of the chrysanthemum seems to be increas- ing year by year as it's beauty becomes known.
 The chrysanthemum show which was given, last week Thursday and Friday evenings, under the auspices of the Sun- day school of St Thomas church in the parish house was what we might term a most beautiful success, financially as we'll as other ways. We do not know the exact amount netted by the Sunday school but it is probably between $15 and $l00. The first, second and third prizes offered for the best plants grown by the scholars were awarded by the judges to Misses Clara Cords, Edna Stone and Der. tha Ghler respectively. A very pleasing feature of Friday nights program was the performance of ladies' orchestra oi stringed instruments.

MORE FLAG RAISINGS.

Wednesday afternoon, the stars and stripes were flung to the breeze on the Ridge schoolhouse, with appropriate ceremonies. If the exercises of the school were not ahead of those held in the other schools, yet in decoration it surpassed them all. The room was per- feet bower of beauty, the walls being completely hidden with flags and bunt- ing, artistically draped. The singing of patriotic songs under the lead of Miss Annie Williams was very impressing. The Foundry school united with the Ridge in rendering the program, and at it's close, both schools were carried to the Hollow, in two large wagons fur nished by Stephen Sanford and Jesse L. Sanford, the children all carrying small flags, and the horses heads being deckt d out with the same. The flag was then raised on the Foundry school house, a patriotic song sung, three cheers given, and thus ended the flag raisings on the Re 1ding school houses, in blaze of glory.
