CARDIFF WORKING MENS FLOWER SHOW. The show, which took pltice.ye^terday in the Drill- hall, Cardiff, naturally enoUg^t attracted considerable attention, not only on account of its intrinsic valu9 as a proof of the social improvement of the workiug classes, but as affording an indication of the progress made by the society which has for its object the encouragement of a fondness for flowers by the offer of prizes for their successful culture. No doubt the effect of .the stimulus given has been to develope into aciive rivalry the spirit of emulation among a class whose opportunities of adding to the attractiveness of their homes are few, and who possess but little leisure for this humanising pursuit. It is most satisfactory to know that, this year, the show is better than was the last; that greater taste has been displayed in the arrangement, and higher skill in the cultivation of the flowers, and that signs are not wanting of an earnest- ness of purpose on the part of the exhibitors, without the existence of which not even a flower show of humble pretensions could claim to be an aesured success. As a matter of course many ministers of religion wero present taking an active part in the proceediugs of the day. They doubtless find that men and women who take au interest in the growth of cur common flowers, are readily influenced by their teachings, and th tt thu view obtained through Nature up to Nature's God, is provocative of a desire to learn still more of Him who clathed the lilies of the field with a beauty which all the glory of Solomon could not surpass. It is en- couraging to think that in the midst of the bustle and hardship of their lives, the toil-worn workers for daily bread can turn their attention to this t^bghtfal recreation. It is evident that a primrose is some- thing better than a mere li yellow primrose and nothing more" to the Jacob Bel^s of this locality, There were proofs at the show that artistic qualities exist in connection with the critical discernment neces- sary to a successful development of the chief "points" of a plant, among the working classes and when we take into consideration the dilhculties under which they labour in rearing them, it cannot be denied that conai- derable credit is due to the exhibitors. During the afternoon the Marquis and Marchioness of Bute visited tbe show. The attendance was very good throughout the day, and particularly after six o'clock, when the spacious hall was crowded to excess. The hon. secretaries, the Rev. J, H. Prothero and illr. E. H. Cox, discharged their onerous duties in a commendable manner, and much of the success of the show is due to their exertions. In addition to the numerous exhibitions by the competi- tors, a choice selection of flowers and plants from the; grounds of the Marquis of Bute decorated the room. I whilst a number of rare plants from Mr. Treseder's added to the attractions of the Show. The judges were Mr. Treseder, Mr. Cox (Lord Bute's gardener), Mr. Gaskell, Mr. Drane and Mr. Hatch (New Cemetery). We append a list of their awards which W believe gave universal satisfaction.
