MELIN GRIFFITH FLORAL AND HORTICULTURAL SHOW. On Wednesday week, a very pleasing exhibition took place at Wain-Troda, near Whitchurch. The day was most favourable for the occasion, and the attendance numerous. This society is under the patronage of T. W. Booker, Esq., of Velindra, a gentleman at all times most ready to support and patronise in- dustry The square in front of the Three Elms Inn was en- closed' and under a spacious marquee were exhibited the vegetables, chiefly grown by the cottagers 111. the employ of Mr. Booker, and their abundance and luxuriance certainly created astonishment, even amongst some of the clever horti- culturists of Cardiff. Potatoes, of large growth, were there in profusion; green peas, kidney beans, cucumbers, (some two feet long), turnips, carrots, and last, though not least, came the Welsh leek of enormous size. A beautiful assortment of flowers were tastefully arranged in the large room, which was otherwise elegantly decorated at the top, composed of moss and flowers, was the imperial crown, with the letters V. R. on either side in the centre was a grand arch, and at the bottom the Prince of Whales' plumes and motto Ich dien." The plants exhaling their sweet perfume around were tastefully distributed through the room, and formed in their different hues a rich and rare scene. The nosegays showed that the hands that arranged them were not those of a novice. The judges went round and gave their opinion, which appeared unanimous amongst them, the Melia Griffith band playing :at intervals. The company was most numerous and respectable and seemed to enjoy the treat; all was going on comfortably, when in came that far- famed imitator of the feathered tribe and brute creation, Herr Von Joel, w ho astonished the assembly by his wonderful powers. The dinner was laid in the large room of the Three Elms Innj to which eighty sat down, it comprised substantial good things, and all the delicacies of the season peas, beans, cucumbers young potatoes, and at the dessert were some dishes of cherries. Mr. Thomas Haddock was called to the chair, Mr. William Haddock acted as vice chairman; Mr. Eli Evans and Mr. Davies did the honours of the other table. After the cloth was removed Mr. Haddock gave the usual loyal toasts. Success to the Melin Griffith Horticultural Society was received with great enthusiasm.
