Some Of Those Who Attended tho
Chrysanthcmum Show Last Night.
Tonight the chrysanthemum show in
the rockingham theater will end, and
possibly on this account came the
larger crowd to the show last night; 1t
was the largest throng in the theater
during any corresponding period since
the exhibit was opened and contained
many Of the city's best known social,
business and professional element.
The exclamations Of delight by per.
sons entering from the lobby were as
hearty and expressive as at the begin
ming of the display, which showed that
the exquisite blossoms are as erect,
sturdy and as full of healthy growth as
ever. Fancourt, the Wilkes-Barre flor
ist, who has exhibited and competed in
many shows in the large cities, said he
had never experienced better atmos-
pheric conditions or temperature regu-
lations. These precautions and the
presence of q force of men caring for
the plants from midnight until 8 o'clock
in the morning explain the continued
splendOr of the show.
lie Won Seven Prizes.
Fancourt won seven prizes, $13, for
bridesmaid, cousin, meteor and Mrs.
Pierpont Morgan roses; mixed carna-
tiOns and new carnations and new
chrysanthemum. Around this display
was grouped a continuous and delight
ed throng which seemed to pestow
favorable comment on, particularly,
the bridesmaid roses and the carna
tiOns of the same name, and the three
new chrysanthemums the Lulinda, the
Mrs. w. A. Bryant and the Mary Hall
stead, named for the daughter of
George M. Hallstead. The judges were
Rev. G. Il. Price, w. c. Clark, gardener
to Colonel H. NJ. BOles, and John Wat
son, an old-time florist.
During the evening there were vocal
selections by the Green Ridge Wheel
mems Quartettte and song by Hector
H. James, baritone. Mr.. James selec-
tion was the "Armourer's Song" from
the opera Of robin Hood" by De Ko-
ven. Although suffering from a cold,
Mr.. James sang with great intelligence
and spirit, and initiated the changing Of
the anvils with splendid erect. His
lower tones are rich and deep to an ex-
traordinary degree and he has a certain
smoOthness in the middle register un-
usual in so big voice.
