The Cartwright Friends never fail in having a good Show ard the Prizo List which appears on the first page of this issue displays a commendible generosity and a disposition to encourage com- petition and thus meke the show attractive. The Officers and Directors are doing their part well so that the full success of the show now rests with the people. The exhibits are always num. erous and good but on this occasion there will doubtless be a greater effort put forth to increase the extent of the Show. The Floral Hall greatly depends on the efforts of the ladies and doubtless they will sustain their well merited reputation.
