Prize AWARDS.
Winners at tho Rose and
Strawberry Exhibition Of the
Horticultural Society.

/
There was an excellent attendance at
| the Rhode Island horticultural socie-
! ty's June exhibition in Tillinghast hall
last evening and 1t was the consensus
| of opinion that II was the best exhibit
in the history OF the association. The
greatest interest centred in the pre-
MUM awards. and that the judges used
due discretion was evidenced by the
fact that where no exhibit seemed to
deserve a first premium, although there
was no competition, none was given.
Secretary, Smith worked hard TO see
that everybody was satisfied and that
he succeeded goes without saying.
Silas H. Manchester, Joseph ID. Fits
and Thomas Hope were judges OF the
fruit, and Nathan D. Pierce, Jr. and
c. w. Smith were judgfs Of the flow
ers.
