ANNUAL FLOWER SHOW
The annual flower fruit and vegetable show was held on Thursday August 12th, in a field on the Sun Tump, kindly lent by Mr. A. Ellsmore, of the Sun Inn. In addition to the show, there was a program of rustic sports. The exhibits numbered over 200, and the exhibitors were about 50, much the same as last year. The exhibits were staged in a large tent, and were a very creditable lot, fully equal to previous efforts. The judges were Mr. Locke of Eastbach Court, and Mr. Gunter of Newland House, who spoke in praise of the exhibits as a whole, especially as regards to the garden produce. The value of the prizes was about £16. The show was under the following management: President, the Rev. E.F. Eales (vicar); vice-president, Rev, W.F. Adams (curate); treasurer, Mr. G. Smith; hon. sec. Mr. A. Batten; and a strong representative committee. There was a large attendance during the evening. The Bream brass band (leader Mr. J. Bevan) was present and played dance and other music, and a very pleasant and enjoyable evening was spent. The committee desire to thank all those who helped to make the show the grand successit proved. The following is the prize list.
