gion yesterday afternoon and last eve
ming has rarely been exceeded in Barre
Through the efforts of the ladies a
marvellously beautiful collection OF
fiowers-more than $50 exhibits-was
placed before the public; and the op'
portunity to see and TO study the
| specimens was taken advantage of by
goodly number OF people although
not by as many as the exhibit merited
The flowers were artistically ar.
ranged on tables set about the large
hall, the specimens being placed in
separate vases as far as possible al
belt the unusually good response of
exhibitors overtaxed the equipment of
containers so that some of the speci-
mems of the same family had to be
grouped. However, the various species
of the different genera were generally
supplied with distinguishing marks so
that they could be identified by the
initiated.
While the show was primarily in
tended for the exhibition of dahlias
and galdioli, entries were by no means
limited to those classes. The two genera
named led, of course, in the number of
exhibits but they were rivalled in
point of attention by the many rare
specimens of other flowers, among
which might be mentioned spotted
ealla lilies, zinnias, blazing star, globe
thistle, montbletia, calendula, candy
tuft and some of the more common
flowers like roses, asters, daisies, be-
gonias, phlox and snap-dragon.
Perhaps the most extensive exhibit
was by Harry A. Goodrich of Barre,
who had as many as 80 varieties of
gladioli, each one carefully labeled and,
therefore, quite easy to study. Mrs. c.
H. Beckett of Williamstown present
ed, among other flowers, some excel
lent specimens of larkspur and gal
lardia Mrs Donald Smith of Barre
turned in two unusual specimens in
the globe thistle and the blazing star.
Mrs. J. f.. Giffen of Barre had, per
haps talthough the judges viii have
to say the best display of dahlias, as
well as handsome gafdioli. c. 4. Carter
of Barre had many OF the last named
flowers The Greenwood farm tW. S.
Martini of Plainfield contributed some
roses. Mrs. Jennie Dickinson
Of Williamstown had interesting dis
plays of hyacinth, calendula and mont
bletia.
These by no means exhaust the
list of exhibitors nor the extent OF
he kinds. To the judges. Mrs f. NJ
Lyon, Miss Blanche j. Tilden and Miss |
Carrie 4. Wheelock, fell the duty of |
iiiferentiating between the specimens
Ind selecting the winners. By late aft
,rnoon the prize winners were labelled

o see the exhibits which were consid
red the best. The list of winners will
,e published early next week.
As a fitting finale of a Successful

With the consent of the exhibitors,

lower committee of the Hospital Aid,
