Building in Readiness
The flower show building, which has
been the scene of great activity for the

for the grand opening by 6 o'clock this
evening and the judges were directed
to award the prizes to the successful
exhibitors. This was a difficult task

Until late this afternoon the exhibits
were received by the several commit

the largest displays of wild flowers

one roof. This exposition is much

most attractive. The children have
been working for the past few days in
gathering the wild flowers, and on yes

ing the street was lined with them
bringing the armloads of wild flowers
which they had put In tubs and old
buckets and kept alive by moistening
