Your correspondent has heard that
there has been some dissatisfaction
concerning the distribution of the
prizes at the flower show. We are
In position to explain the why's
and the wherefores OF the changes
made in the awards in two instances,
but we do not think 1t necessary to
go further into details than to say
that the managers were conscientious
In trying to do The very best they
could. 1t is impossible for outsiders
to realize to what trouble the men,
bers Of the various committee went
to make the show the success it was.
There were a few of the women who
gave full weeks work to 1t, to say
nothing of previous committee meet
ings, and for what? There Is no
money in it to these good women,
and certainly no glory. If there
were mistakes. they were of the
head, and we regard these little af-
fairs as mere matters of moon
chine. They Cannot AFFECT the real
truth Of the matter, VIZ: that the
show was a splendid success. We are
reminded, in this connection, OF the
l'fact that when a good man or wo-
man dies, we hear it said, "Their
places cannot be filed" yet the old
void rocks on. We are here to say
that the flower show, like the little
brook, will "go on forever" the opin-
ion Of few OF the contributors to
the contrary Notwithstanding. The
managers have offered to make good
any loss on the part OF exhibitors,
there being a few articles in the
household department displaced,
and also to rectify the aforesaid
changes in the awards.

The music program, too, partook OF
the same theme, and the entire ar
rangement was delightfully."- clever.
