The Terrace nina exhibition took
place in. the G. Ww. “V.A. hall on Sat-
urday last, Sept. 8rd, and was one of
the earliest exhibitions ever held here.
But despite the eerly date and the]
late season the managenient was well
pleased with the exhibits, both as re-
gards quantity and quality. Ordin-
arily two rooms are. required for. these
exhibits, but this year, with a. little
more concentration, “and the elimina-
tion of the school exhibits until a lat-
ter date, the main floor of the. hall
sufficed to house the entries offered.

but the fair proved the contrary as to
fruit exhibits. .The number of entries
was smaller, but greater.care in se-
lection made competition quite as keen.
The vegetables: were exceptionally
good in quality and the individual dis-
plays. of form products were aitrac-

of the whole fair was that of garden
flowers. At no time in the past’ has
this exhibit been surpassed and seldgm

number of exhibits, although the high
quality, was there. Thethouse keep-
ers could heip. the fair very materially},

of their nicest stuff.

The faucy work section was this
year for in excess of previous shows,
due partly to the fact that an early:
list of the prizes was available, "This
should be followed: up next year and
make it apply” to the entire prize List.
