The annual flower show here was held July 24 and was a great success. The people of the vicinity are making this affair a regular holiday and everybody turned out. The new Agricultural hall is a splendid place for showing flowers, but one can safely predict that the building will be too small if the in- terest keeps up as at present. A band was in attendance. The boy scouts had the time of their lives in the tug of war, etc. There was a splendid suffragette football game, which caused plenty of amusement. Last, but not least, there was the baseball game be- tween representatives of the south and the north part of town—a splendid affair, in which some 200-to-290-pound- ers showed their ability in slugging and running. Coming to the show itself, it is sur- prising what people can do when every- body helps.

The main contribution to the show, however, was the exhibit of cut flowers from the Provincial Nurseries, where Chr. Van Aken is manager. A big table and also some space at the end of the hall, against the wall, were reserved
