The fourth half-yearly show in connection ff ith the abovo Society was opened this afternoon under mast auspicious circum tancw. Never has the number of exhibits been larger than on this occasion, and the result is an exhibition, of fruit especially, Hat could not be equalled in any othor part of th« colony. It '8 true that tho bcistor o<i3 weather of last week has prejudicially affected the floral department, and that Mime of the exhibits in this class UVe not come to hand in conse- Anenco. Their absonce, however, doeß not »ppoaf to Bavo loft a blank > 011 the Lilabte staging apaco boing occupied. At their earing show last November, tho Society congratulated itself over a vast ■ success over previous efforts, there tioine » l»rga mcrea9o '" tIIQ number of exhibits. The present-show affords special reason for satisfaction to the energetic com- BtitWfc the ontrios in November boing eitoeededin number by no loss than 150. Additional titles bad to be provided, ■hd the Committee aro satisfied that if the operations of the Society aitend as they Kayo been doing the drill-shod will not bo capable of providing tho accommodation necesßary twelve montlia hence. Tho show was to have owned at noon to day, but the customary dilay was cauaed by tho neglect of the competitors to have thoir oxhibits in the ball at tho proper tirno. Although tho Com- Bttteo Were at the hall yesterday till mid aight, and again at daybreak this morning, tte day was well advanced before the neater part of the exhibits camo to hand. It is to be hoped that this fault will be remedied at the noxt chow. At tho time of our visit to the hall, the staging had not been completed, and all was confusion. The entries, as may bs supposed, are most numerous in tho Allcomers Classes, ama teurs and cottagers being fairly repre sented. Fruit ia the great feature of the thow, one table the whole length of the hall being devoted almost exclusively to apples. The first object which attracts the atten tion of the vUitor is the collection of grapes, thiob, though not large* is a sight worth seeing. The collection of six bunches, in which Messrs S. Rlorrin, E. Heskoth and W. Stevenson are the exhibitors, is a Magnificent sight, the rich, luscious clusters ef fruit exciting the greatest admiration. There are a few figa, and a fair show of plums, bnt a very poor exhibition of • peaches, the season being too far advanced for this class of fruit. There are apples of every class and variety, from tho diminu tive crab to the monster Prince Bismarck nil other large varieties, and the exhibi tion oould not fail to please the most orient and exacting student of pomology. Mr Sharps, of Waikomiti, alone exhibits 201 varieties of apples, Mr Beloe 100 varieties, Mr Parr 50 or CO, Mr Hobbs nbout 30, and bo on. The show of pears is liitly good, but might have been a great deal better," Melons, citrons, lemons, passion trait, quinces, medlars, cape goose berries, oranges, nuts, filberts, and walnuts, tin all represented in their respective de partments. There are upwards of sixty exhibits of fruit in the Allcomers' Class, apples, of course, being most largoly-repre presented. The Cottagers' Class only com priaed 22 entries of fruit, bnt thin show, although small, was nevertheless creditable. MiThos/Phillips'sapDles wore exceptionally good, The section of the Show devoted to greenhouse plants grown in pots occupies the central portion of tho building. Hero may be-»«n the most beautiful and rarest variofa of colnus and begonias, tho format icing especially line. Messrs W. i. Patent aid G. Warburton aro tho largest exhibitors of these fine foliage plantd, a mm magnificent exhibition of winch, we <»Bu!dyssy, was never seen in Auckland. TAetortaand lyoopods shown by Mr S. Monk and B. Hay and Son aro also_ very flu. Onoof tho features of this section is a magnificent double fuchsia known as Ctnndl'e—outside petals pink and cehtro whit*.. This plant stands about two foot faigfc, and is covered with hundreds of blooms. There are no en trios of fancy pelargoniums, and dracccnas, orchids, ♦ticas, and the liko are poorly repre tontedi We must compliment those aembera of the Society wbo have bad ahand in the arrangement of the pot plants. It is really excellent. With the exception of dahlias, the show of cut flowers is very Bach below the average, the recent storm wing doubtless destroyed many blooms which tho gardening fraternity, with pride ia their hearts, had decided should mako a figure at the chow. The excellence of the dahlias, however, makes amends for tho shortcomings of the other flowers. There »w4O or 50 distinct varieties on exhibition, •we' of them being of the rarest. The GuUia Webb, Constancy, Williams, Adonis, and M. Harris, all extremely tire varieties, aro represented. Some what of a novelty, also, is the single dahlia, a handsome flower, of which jweral excellent specimens are shown There aro three exhibitors of 24 dahlias, four of 12, and four of 6. Messrs D. Hay and Son, Mr \V. J. Palmer, Mr E. Hwketb, and Mrs A. Clark are the largest Whlbitorfc The roses are poor, and have a daanotly "last rose of Bummer-y " appear tow. Miss Speight shows a handsome taqnet composed entirely of native flowers, jnd there are several fair table and hand bouquets on exhibition. The vegetable wrtura U situated at the southern side of M 6 building, and the show is quite up ia quantity and quality to the exhibitions of previous years. Messrs Houlton, H. * George, and Captain Rich are w largest exhibitors. Tbe most noteworthy feature is the excellence of wo potatoes and cabbage, some of Jto latter being veritable leviathans. Tho tomatoes have a somewhat weather-beaten •PPMrance, bat the pumpkins and other wards are of good average quality. Mr H. '• W Bailly, of Devonport, has a fine «tamt of several varieties of vegetables, J* ««'competition. The flowers and vege »W« in the Cottagers' Class bear evidonco f careful cultivation. Not the least in y"ra»g portion' 'of the Show is that woted to apiarian appliances. A glance J5? 8 slloWß the wonderful progress that *J Men made in scientific bee-keeping aoring the past few years.
